2 MACHINE INSTALLATION AND CHARACTERISTICS
2.1 INSTALLATION
The machine has been assembled, calibrated and checked and is ready to use. There is no need to
perform any assembly operations. However, before using the machine, it's a good idea to carry
out the following checks:
•
Connect the AVANTCODE machine to a suitable power supply (220 V 50/60 Hz), in
accordance with the information specified on the ID label on the back of the machine.
•
It is very important that the electricity supply is earthed. Ensure that the machine is
connected to the earth.
After unpacking the machine and connecting the power supply, move the switch to position 1.
(Fig.2).
Make sure the emergency button is not pressed down, if it is, release it.
When switched on, the JMA logo will appear alongside an internal test, then a few moments
later, the carriages will move to their start-up position (if not in position already). The machine is
ready to use.
2.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The AVANTCODE machine has been designed to cut flat keys. The tiniest details have been
carefully designed to produce a compact machine that's easy to use and very precise. This is a
mechatronic machine, with two stepper motors for moving the carriages and a third motor to open
the automatic clamp (with key feeder).
One of the machine's principle characteristics is that it allows you to use 2 different
configurations without having to implement major changes. These two options are as follows:
AVANTCODE (STANDARD): Standard clamp with 4 faces
AVANTCODE (KEY FEEDER): Automatic clamp and key feeder for automatically cutting keys.
This is a versatile machine that can be used both with standard clamps or the key feeder.
