3 MACHINE DESCRIPTION
RIGEL EU is a professional cutting machine for flat keys used with cylinder, car locks and cruciform
keys. The main parts of the machine are described below:
Motor start-up switch
The motor start-up switch (O) is placed on the left-hand side of the RIGEL EU key-cutting machine.
ATTENTION: the illuminated switch is always lit to show that the key-cutting machine is live.
Motor and transmission unit
The motor has belt transmission. The transmission unit is placed on the left of the motor and activates
the brush (P) and cutting tool (L). These components are protected by three covers:
-
brush cover (P1),
-
cutting tool cover (M),
-
motor cover (N).
Clamp carriage
The clamp carriage (R) consisting of two clamps, is fitted to the horizontal movement carriage, controlled
by lever (D) and is provided with a handle (A) under which can be found the carriage release button (B).
The carriage movement by means of gears, allows high precision movements which greatly facilitate all
cutting operations.
The carriage is fully protected by a special panel designed to prevent the accumulation of dust and chip-
pings from the work process.
The machine is designed with a ramp along which chippings can fall into the special chippings tray (C),
placed under the carriage and easily removable for emptying and cleaning.
Cutting unit
The cutting unit contains the actual working parts of the RIGEL EU key-cutting machine, which operate
together to cut and finish keys "read" from the originals.
The working parts are described below:
•
Brush
The brush (P) is used to eliminate burrs from the cuts and is made of non-abrasive material.
•
Cutting Tool
The cutting tool (L) is the part of the RIGEL EU used for cutting key blanks. The cutting tool is in HSS
super rapid steel and is protected by a special cover (M) to ensure safe operation.
•
Tracer point
The tracer point (I), used for reading the profile of the key to be copied, is housed on the left-hand side
of the machine base. A centesimal ring (K) ensures regulation of the depth.
•
Clamps
The clamps (E) have four sides which rotate to allow the key to be perfectly secured on its back or in
profile (fig. 9 - pag. 15).
•
Clamp knobs
The clamps are locked by two anatomical knobs (F)(fig. 4 - pag. 6) which ensure perfect grip on the keys
with only slight locking pressure.
•
Calibration tabs
The clamps have two gange tabs (H)(fig. 8 -B) with which to adjust key alignment.
