ZERO SETTING OF THE TOOL
1)
Install the insert-holding tool as shown in the figure (see attached drawing)
and tighten with a hexagon key.
2)
Install the insert.
3)
Bring the turret forward until the insert grazes the front face of the work-
piece and set the Z-axis to Z=0 in the CNC code.
4)
Repeat the operation for the X-axis.
MACHINING OF THE SLOT
1)
Insert the slotting tool speed (example: S=300 rpm).
2)
Position in X=0.
3)
Position the Z-axis to the final slotting length dimension – Caution, the tool
must enter into the slot a minimum of 2,5 mm.
4)
Increase the X-axis to the final X arrival dimension with F work loading.
5)
Go back to position X=0.
6)
Go back to position Z=0.
7)
Stop the carriage movement and set the turret to the tool replacement
position.
APPROXIMATE CUTTING PARAMETERS
- The increase for each cycle can go from 0,035 to 0,05 mm based on the material.
- The RPM can go from 250 to 500.
EXAMPLE:
Material: 18 CrMo 5 (soft steel)
Increase: 0,04 mm
Rpm: 300
Feed (F) = 12 mm/ min.
Even when machining aluminium, never exceed 500 rpm to machine slots. If the
material has horizontal and/or vertical serrations, please ask the slotting tool
manufacturer for assistance.
