Y-AXIS ADJUSTMENT SCREW
This is used to correct any symmetry errors between the hole and the piece currently being processed. After unscrewing the tool clamping
screws, turn the Y-axis adjustment pin either clockwise or counterclockwise. This will allow you to move the tool along the Y-axis. The
adjustment range is +/- 0.5, which is extensive enough to correct all of the symmetry errors on lathes without a Y-axis.
LONGITUDINAL CUTTING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT SCREW
This screw is used to correct any errors in longitudinal angles. By turning it clockwise or counterclockwise the cutting angle can be
adjusted.
EXTERNAL GREASE FITTINGS
These two grease fittings are built into the external structure of the motorized slotter and are used to grease after about 10 hours of use,
meaning the effective operating time of the tool (see example of calculation for greasing).
COOLANT FITTING HOLE FOR COOLANT SUPPLY
All of the tools feature holes for the supply of coolant. The internal supply is recommended more than the external supply and allows the
lubricant to be directed to the cutting area.

- Page 2 Motorized Slotter SETUP For VDI style turrets, attach the slotter onto the interface and tighten the 4 attachment screws holding the slotter onto the interface, then install the unit onto the machine. For BMT style turrets, remove the slotter from the interface by loosening the 4 attachment screws and removing the slotter from the interface.
- Page 3 Motorized Slotter MODULAR INTERFACE INSTALLATION After a long period of use (about 1,000 hours/1 year), maintenance will need to be performed on the slotter, replacing the parts subject to wear such as bearings, gaskets, etc. Drive shaft Assembly/Removal/Replacement FIGURE 4 To correctly use the motorized device, the rotary motion drive shaft must be properly fixed to the motorized device by means of an Allen screw.

Motorized Slotter MAINTENANCE ADJUSTABLE GIB SCREWS After using the slotter for a long time, it will be necessary to eliminate the potential play created in the tool. Do this by unscrewing the hexagonal nut, tightening the center screw and then screwing the hexagonal nut back on. Repeat this operation on all four gibs of the slotter.
