Operating Instructions Rotoklick II Information The cylindrical shank of the indexing tool fits any tool holder having a diameter of D = 20 mm. Description: During CNC-controlled indexing, the indexing process is carried out with the aid of an indexing tool. During this process, the indexing tool is pushed into the pick-up point and it turns the scale to the desired position at increments of max.
Operating Instructions Rotoklick II Indexing tool CAUTION Caution The tappet of the indexing tool must face the dividing head! (max. angular deviation admitted: + 3°) Larger angular deviations must be compensated for: • either: Compensate by means of spindle orientation of the CNC unit.
Operating Instructions Rotoklick II 7.1.1 Vertical indexing tool Description The vertical indexing tool is used for machines with vertical spindle. When clamping the indexing tool, its clamping shank must be inserted into the holder until it has contact with the stop and then be tightened with the clamping bolt. Then the tool data must be entered into the control unit.
Operating Instructions Rotoklick II 7.1.2 Horizontal indexing tool 1 Locating screw with predetermined breaking point Description The horizontal indexing tool is used for machines with horizontal spindle. For clamping, proceed in the same manner as when clamping the vertical indexing tool.
Operating Instructions Rotoklick II 7.1.4 Reference point / program zero point for indexing movement 1 Dividing circle 4 Pick-up 1-4 2 Indexing tool 5 Program zero point 3 Reference point Procedure: • Enter the indexing tool data into the tool memory (L = tool length TL, R = 0).
Operating Instructions Rotoklick II 7.1.5 Approach / unlock Procedure: • Approach the starting point G0 X0 Y0 Z160. • Check the position of the 1st pick-up point. • Check the starting angle on the scale. • Determine the coordinates by means of the angle calculator and approach them in the Y and Z axes (X = 0).
Operating Instructions Rotoklick II 7.1.6 Indexing movement / rotation Procedure: • For programming a circular movement with the circle center Y0 and Z0, the rotary movement G2 is carried out. • Determine the coordinates of the pick-up point end position using the angle calculator.

Operating Instructions Rotoklick II Rotoklick II can be expanded by additional optional equipment (e.g. lathe chuck, rocker, cube or traverse). Tailstocks or counter holders are used to support large workpieces. Furthermore, the counter holder prevents any bending of rocker, cube or traverse during the machining of large workpieces.
Operating Instructions Rotoklick II Wedge-shaped clamping elements for radial flange connection 1 Wedge-shaped clamping elements (4x) Description These wedge-shaped clamping elements enable various attachments to be mounted to Rotoklick II without any major effort.
Operating Instructions Rotoklick II Lathe chuck Description The lathe chuck can be used with or without tailstock or counter holder. The jaw chuck enables all-around machining of round workpieces. Thanks to a hollow spindle, bars up to a diameter of D40 can be machined.
Operating Instructions Rotoklick II Rocker Description The rocker features an asymmetrical design. High rigidity is achieved when the workpiece is machined near the center. The workpiece is closer to the center of the interference circle, so larger workpieces can be machined.
Operating Instructions Rotoklick II Traverse Description The traverse enables positioning of workpiece and clamping device on both sides. Multiple clampings are thus possible.
Operating Instructions Rotoklick II Cube Description The cube enables positioning of workpiece and clamping device on all four sides. Multiple clampings are thus possible.
Operating Instructions Rotoklick II Maintenance DANGER Hazard generated when performing work in the working area of machine tools Crushing hazard and hazard generated by drawing in clothes or loose objects during machine axis movements. This can cause severe injury or death.
The exposure to coolant, water, dust or oil during operation does not have any adverse effects on Rotoklick II. In order to grant a long service life of the device, however, we recommend to wipe off any contamination with a cloth lightly dampened with neutral solvent.
