  • Page 9 Machine Location, Unpacking & Installation (Cont’d.)- Unpacking the Machine: Unpacking the machine will require tin snips (to cut banding), a knife and an adjustable wrench. Follow the steps below: 1) Using the tin snips, cut the banding that is securing the machine to the pallet (if fitted). 2) WARNING: EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED BECAUSE THE BANDING CAN SPRING AND COULD CAUSE INJURY.
  • Page 10 Machine Location, Unpacking & Installation (Cont’d.)- 1.) Using Leveling Feet, Support and Level SS2 CNC Machine. 2.) SAFETY-Verify your shop/building has proper electrical supply. For confirmation on this, call customer service (1-800-234-1976) for diagrams verifying proper voltage & amperage requirements. 3.) Have a Certified Electrician wire from building breaker into control box (Does not need to hook up L1, L2, and L3, but they must run the wire into the box.)
  • Page 11 Machine Location, Unpacking & Installation (Cont’d.)- 4.) Have a Certified Electrician wire from contactor to vacuum. (Run wires to vacuum and into box, we can wire once the wires are inside to the contactor. Vacuum has a Legend-Plate, electrician must decide wire size). 5.) Hook up clean, dry air to compressor on rear of machine underneath tool rack.
  • Page 12 Machine Location, Unpacking & Installation (Cont’d.)- The machine is supplied with an air regulator. The input air regulator regulates the air pressure that is supplied to the machine. You will require an air supply that can deliver a constant minimum pressure of 85 psi. The input air regulator will need to be adjusted to 85 psi-90 psi once you have connected your air supply to the machine.
  • Page 13 Machine Location, Unpacking & Installation (Cont’d.)- 6.) Verify all items that were purchased and are on the sales order were sent and included. Verify there is a dust hood on the spindle. (If any items are missing, call customer service (1-800-234-1976 for verification on missing items so they may be sent out) 7.) If providing own tooling, verify all proper tooling is available and readily available.

  • Page 15: Connecting The Vacuum Pump

    Connecting the Vacuum Pump- The machine is provided with a 2-inch hose for connection to the vacuum pump. The vacuum hose is connected to the manifold located under the table toward the front of the machine. Connect the free end to the vacuum hose to the vacuum pump inlet. Ensure that it is clamped securely.

  • Page 16: Installing Router Bit

    Installing Router Bit- Installing the Router Bit in the Tool Holder Caution: Before changing or fitting the router bit, always disconnect the power to the machine. 1) Select a router bit and its relevant collet. 2) Fit the collet into the spindle nut. Press the collet into the spindle nut until it snaps into place. Note: The router bit must not be fitted into the collet until the collet has been fitted into the spindle nut.
  • Page 17 Manual Tool Release- The tool holder can be released from the spindle manually by pressing the “Green Manual Release Button” near the Electro- Spindle. Note. When the “Green Manual Release Button” is pressed, the clamping is released and the tool will fall out. Place your hand so that the tool holder (not the cutter) is supported.

  • Page 18: Selecting The Correct Router Bit

    Selecting the Correct Router Bit- Straight Router Bits: These are the standard router bits that are commonly used with handheld routers and are readily available at home centers. They will work but will generally not produce the edge finishes that are available with the spiral designed router bits.
  • Page 19 Selecting the Correct Router Bit (Cont’d.)- Ball Nose Router Bits: are a variation of the up shear bit design but have radiuses on the ends. These bits are typically used for 3D surfacing applications. Down Shear Router Bits: These bits are similar to the up shear but with an opposite spiral that actually tends to pack the chips into the kerf.
  • Page 20 Selecting the Correct Router Bit (Cont’d.)- Combination (Compression) Router Bits: These bits combine the advantages of both up shear and down shear designs. The top section of the tool is down shear to prevent chipping the top surface of the material, and the lower part of the bit is up shear to prevent chipping the bottom surface of the material.
  • Page 21 Selecting the Correct Router Bit (Cont’d.)- Form Router Bits: Form Router Bits typically are available in standard profiles such as round over, ogee, cove, etc. Router bits that have a shape associated with them would be classified with this group.
  • Page 22 Working With Vacuum Tables and Spoil Boards- The more effective the vacuum table setup, the more secure the parts will be held in place. Follow the instructions below to obtain optimum results. The vacuum table has six (6) zones that can be used to configure the vacuum supply depending on the type of application.
  • Page 23 Working With Vacuum Tables and Spoil Boards (Cont’d.)- The table has vacuum ports for each zone that extract the air and generate the vacuum. The table also has grooves to ensure that the air is extracted evenly across the zones. Each zone is controlled by a valve located at the front of the machine.
  • Page 24 Working With Vacuum Tables and Spoil Boards (Cont’d.)- Spoil Board Material and Precautions For machining parts from panel materials (cabinets, fixtures, case goods, etc.) a technology referred to as “Flow-Through” fixturing is employed. A sheet of porous material (usually MDF [Medium-Density Fiberboard]) is placed on top of the vacuum table.
  • Page 25 Working With Vacuum Tables and Spoil Boards (Cont’d.)- The purpose is to limit vacuum infiltration through grooves in the spoil board. This also allows the processing of various nests without any setup time on the machine. This technology is the basis for Nested-Based Manufacturing (NBM)-Nested-based manufacturing refers to a system used to efficiently produce groups of rectangular and non-symmetrical parts from flat material, such as composite and solid wood panels or plastic sheets.
  • Page 26 Working With Vacuum Tables and Spoil Boards (Cont’d.)- Functions of the Spoil Board- 1)To protect the vacuum table from damage. The cutter extends only a few thousandths of an inch past the material thickness. Without the spoil board, the cutters could damage the surface of the vacuum table. 2)To transfer the vacuum from the table to the job.
  • Page 27 Working With Vacuum Tables and Spoil Boards (Cont’d.)- The spoil board (MDF) edges are also very porous, and sealing them can improve the part holding ability. ***Hard Candle Wax-is an excellent product for sealing the spoil board edges because it contains no water and is very easy to apply***.

  • Page 28: Working With Vacuum Tables And Spoil Boards

    Working With Vacuum Tables and Spoil Boards (Cont’d.)- Use the following Procedure for preparing the Spoil Board: 1) Cut the spoil board to the size of the table of the machine, if necessary. 2) Apply gasketing (The action of fitting or sealing with a gasket) to the outermost vacuum grooves on the table surface.
  • Page 29 Working With Vacuum Tables and Spoil Boards (Cont’d.)- Spoil Board Use Each time a new job is machined, there may be shallow cuts into the spoil board in the areas that the cutter passes through the material. Prior to placing a sheet of material on the spoil board, clean with a hand-held blower or vacuum cleaner.
  • Page 30 Working With Vacuum Tables and Spoil Boards (Cont’d.)- There are, however, exceptions- 1) It is a good practice to keep material on the top surface of the spoil board overnight to prevent warpage due to uneven moisture absorption by the material. 2) Once a spoil board has been used and has kerf cuts that resulted from machining parts, it is a good idea to fly cut the surface again.

  • Page 31: Vacuum Table T-Slots & Automatic Tool Changer (Atc)

    Vacuum Table T-Slots & Automatic Tool Changer (ATC)- The vacuum table has T-slot mounting devices incorporated into the tables to enable fixtures and material blanks to be clamped directly to the table. Clamps are provided, but the table must be protected with a backer when using jacking bolts. If the jacking bolts come in contact with the composite or aluminum of the table, the materials could be damaged.
  • Page 32 Vacuum Table T-Slots & Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) Cont’d.- ATC Bracket & Tool Automatic Tool Changer-ATC Tool Touch Off-TTO The Automatic Tool Touch-Off system (described later in this manual) is used to measure the Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) tool lengths automatically. The Automatic Tool Changer consists of a group of tool holder grippers mounted to a rigid bar.
