REGULATION AND USE OF THE MACHINE

6.1

Checking and Setting

The cutting tool on the DELTA 2000 MC is used to cut the key blanks and must be periodically checked

and replaced. 

Periodically, and whenever the cutting tool is replaced, check the key-cutting machine settings, to ensure

perfect machine efficiency.

SETTING

Axial setting refers to adjustment of the distance between the tracer point position and cutting position

(fig. 10-A). 

The axis setting for the DELTA 2000 MC is fixed and is established on assembly in our

workshops.

SETTING

Depth setting refers to adjustment of the alignment between the tracer point depth and the depth of the

cuts.

To regulate the depth settings, proceed as follows:

WARNING:

disconnect the machine from the mains. 

1) place the setting pins (provided) on the clamps (fig. 10-B).
2) raise the carriage and take  towards the tracer point and cutting tool u ntil the pin  on the  left-hand

clamp comes into contact with the tracer point.

3) turn the cutting tool anticlockwise by hand. Take the gauging pin on the left-hand clamp up to the

tracer point and ensure that the cutting tool skims the pin on the right-hand clamp.

4) turn the right-hand clamp knob upwards and repeat the operation described above.
5) if necessary, regulate the cutting depth by means of the tracer point, as described below:

a) loosen the tracer point locking screw (G3) (fig. 11).
b) turn the adjusting nut (G2): clockwise to advance the tracer point (G), anticlockwise to move the

tracer point back.

6) when regulation is complete, screw down the screw (G3) to lock the tracer point.
7) if the height of the tracer point must be adjusted, loosen screw (G1) and re-position manually.
8) when regulation is complete, screw down the screw (G1) to lock the tracer point.
