FINE POINT COUNTERPOINTS: for FEMALE keys with a small hole
Hole: from Ø3 to Ø4 Stem: greater than Ø5
THICK POINT COUNTERPOINT: for FEMALE keys with a large hole
Hole: from Ø4 to Ø5.5
Stem: greater than Ø6
TAPERED HOLE COUNTERPART: for MALE keys with plastic head, with square
stem, ...
Stem: greater than Ø4
The correct way to use the counterpoints, is the following:
1) FASTEN THE KEY:
Fasten the keys, as follows:
FEMALE key: make a stop against the LATERAL STOP
MALE key: make a stop against the CUTTER-PROBE.
2) FIT THE COUNTERPOINTS:
Choose the pair of counterpoints, depending on the type of key.
NOTE: To help identify them, they have different engravings on the end of the head.
The counterpoint is inserted inside the carriage bushing, manually threading it. Stop
inserting it when you see it has reached as far as the key (DO NOT FORCE IT).
3) RELEASE THE KEYS:
Release the keys, before removing the counterpoints.
4) REMOVE THE COUNTERPOINTS:
Remove the counterpoints, turning them manually.
2.6.4 MAXIMUM LENGTH OF KEY
The DELTA ADVANCE machine has been designed in such a way that there is no
limitation on the length of the key to be cut.
It has clamps at two heights, in such a way that the clamp on the left side does not
prevent the attachment of any key length.
2.6.5 PROBE SPRING
The DELTA ADVANCE machine has the handle "15" that activates the probe's spring.
The probe spring facilitates the insertion of the probe between the teeth of the key,
for the subsequent guidance of the key towards the cutter.
2.6.6 LOCKAGE OF THE X AXIS
The DELTA ADVANCE machine has the handle "14" that locks-unlocks the movement
of the carriage in the X direction.
The locking function of the X axis is useful when we want the carriage to move
forward and without the possibility of lateral movements. It is also useful when we
want to cut keys with the optional clamp carriage for vertical cuts.
Locking the X axis also facilitates the operation of fastening-releasing the keys from
its clamps, by preventing the carriage from sliding to the sides.
2.6.7 Y AXIS LOCKING
The machine also has a slight lock at the end of the course of the Y axis, to prevent
the carriage from sliding forward during the operation of fastening-releasing the keys
from its clamps.
Just bring the carriage of the machine to its most extreme position towards the user,
so that we can see that the carriage is locked by means of a small spring.
To unlock the carriage, simply push the carriage lever forward slightly.
2.6.8 CLAMP CARRIAGE FOR VERTICAL CUTS (OPTIONAL)
The DELTA ADVANCE machine has a special carriage (optional purchase), to make
vertical cuts of some models of keys. It is called clamp carriage for vertical cuts.
To swap the BIT carriage and the clamp carriage for vertical cuts, the machine has
the handle "13", which locks-unlocks the carriage.
Before performing the carriage swap operation, it is very useful to lock the X and Y
axes of the machine.
The carriages are removed and inserted on the right side of the machine.

OPERATION AND FUNCTION
3.1 ADJUSTMENTS
The DELTA ADVANCE cutting machine is adjusted from the factory. However, it is
advisable to make some adjustments after any of the following situations:
•
After replacing a cutter, probe or clamp.
•
After a long period of use.
3.1.1 SIDE ADJUSTMENT
•
Lock the rotation of the clamp on the right side, operating the handle "16".
•
Tie a frontal virgin key, in the right-side clamp.
•
Move the central area of the key towards the cutter.
•
Lock the X axis of the carriage, operating the handle "14".
•
Execute a straight groove of approximately 8 mm. of depth.
•
Release the key on the right-side clamp and fasten it on the left side clamp.
•
Slightly loosen the two "L" screws that secure the probe support "7".
•
Move the probe support "7" to the left or right, until the probe is inserted into
the slot that we previously made in the key.
•
In this position, fasten the probe support "7" by means of the two "L" screws.
•
Now you can unlock the X axis of the carriage, operating the handle "14"
