Usage Features:
The 450W Router operates with a German imported electric spindle, ensuring superior performance. It requires a 0.04MPa clean air source to be connected before the spindle runs.
Installation:
- Suction Pipe Bracket Installation: Remove the two original M3×3 countersunk head screws on the side of the cutting head cover and use M3×6 countersunk screws to fix the suction tube bracket on the cutting head. Replace the two M3×3 countersunk head screws of the cutting head cover with M3×6 countersunk head screws to fix the milling tool suction tube holder. Ensure to select the correct screws to avoid damage to the cutting head.
- Router Spindle and Cable/Air Pipe Connection: Before connecting the milling spindle and the drive cable, ensure nothing is in the plug and clean it. Insert the plug straight to the end after aligning the position. A "click" sound indicates proper connection. Insert a 4.0mm air pipe and connect it with the milling spindle.
- Emergency Stop Cable Connection: The three-pin plug of the emergency stop cable connects to the emergency stop control interface on the outside of the milling tool control box. The two-pin plug connects to the emergency stop control interface of the milling tool on the electrical box of the cutting machine.
- Gas Source Connection: Use a 6mm intake pipe to connect the intake end of the filter. The cooling air is controlled by a solenoid valve. When the milling tool is powered on, the solenoid valve opens automatically. The output interface is on the outside of the milling tool control box, and the spindle cooling air is connected through this. The pipe connected to the electric spindle is 4mm.
- USB Communication Cable Connection: Pass one end of the mini USB data cable through the wire hole of the milling tool control box and connect it to the milling driver. Connect the USB plug of the data cable to the USB port of the computer.
- Driver Initialization: The driver initialization is completed when the device is debugged for the first time in the factory. SycoDrive software must be installed before operation. After starting the SycoDrive software, a green light in the lower left corner of the page indicates that the drive is successfully connected to the computer.
- Motor Parameter Sets: In the Motor Parameter Sets column, set the spindle model to 4033-AC-100000rpm. Click the [Load motor type] button. After setting the parameters, click [Save on inverter] button at the bottom right corner of the main page. A prompt will confirm successful saving.
- Spindle Running-in: For first-time use, the spindle must be run-in. If the spindle has been out of service for more than 3 months, it must be re-run-in. Start the Sycodrive software, go to the SPINDLE RUN-IN page, set the spindle model 4033-AC-100000rpm in the Spindle run-in control column, select "Downtime>3 months" as the running-in method, and click [START]. A progress bar will display the running-in process, and a pop-up window will indicate completion.
- Communication Settings between Router and Computer: The USB communication line connects automatically. When using CutterServer software, the milling tool communication serial port must be set first. Note that Sycodrive software and CutterServer software cannot be connected at the same time; one must be closed before running the other.
- Confirm Spindle Rotation Direction: Ensure the spindle direction is correct. If not, check the cable connection and adjust the rotation direction setting in the software.
- Cooling Air Pressure Inspection: Before starting the machine, ensure the air source and air pressure are checked. The minimum air pressure required for the router is 0.04MPa. Too low or too high air pressure will damage the spindle.
- Blade Installation: The 450W router is equipped with 3.5mm or 4mm blade collets (ER1 or ER2 respectively).
- Place the blade collet into the spindle nut.
- Manually screw the blade collet and spindle nut onto the spindle (do not tighten).
- Insert the router blade into the blade collet (keep about 1mm distance between the cutting edge and the collet).
- Use 8mm and 12mm wrenches to tighten the nuts.
- Incorrect installation may damage the collet.
- Router Parameter Setting: In the Cutterserver software parameter table, select MILL450 as the tool name, set the tool lifting angle to 180, and do not choose the rotating direction. Set appropriate cutting parameters such as XY motion speed, knife drop speed, and motion acceleration.
- Communication Serial Port Settings: With Cutterserver software, open [System Configuration]-[Serial Configuration] to set the milling router serial port.
- Set Knife Depth: Select the milling router icon and click the manual tool setting icon. Use the down arrow on the keyboard to lower the milling router until it touches the upper surface of the cutting mat, then click [OK].
- Set Milling Router Speed: Drag the slider in [Milling Router Setting] up and down to adjust the speed within the range of 6000rpm-60000rpm.
Precautions for Spindle Use:
- The main shaft is self-closed and dustproof when working and is permanently lubricated. Avoid adding grease and using cleaning solvents that might damage the spindle.
- The tapered surface of the chuck must be kept clean and free from scratches. Otherwise, the accuracy of the tapered surface of the front end of the spindle rotor will be changed, resulting in inability to lock the tool, resulting in failures such as tool drop or tool breakage. The chuck must be cleaned before installing.
- After the spindle is ventilated, the sealed state can be reached, and the sealing air flow rate is 25L/min (the sealing air pressure must be strictly controlled at 0.04MPa). Excessive air pressure can damage the grease or lubrication system of the bearing. If the bearing loses lubrication, it will be damaged under high-speed operation. If air pressure is too small, the sealing effect cannot be achieved.
- The air source of the spindle must be filtered. An unqualified air source will seriously damage the spindle stator coil and bearings, affecting spindle life.
- The main shaft cannot be hit by any impact. After impact, the dynamic balance will be destroyed, and even the bearing will be damaged, affecting the service life.
- Use matching professional tools for disassembly and assembly of the chuck. Damage to the bearing due to man-made reasons will void the warranty. Do not disassemble or install the spindle privately if there are problems.

Common Faults and Treatment of Milling Cutters:
- An error is reported when starting the milling cutter:
- Possible reasons: Communication port is set incorrectly; power of the milling cutter is turned off; the drive is in an error state.
- Solution: Set the correct serial port number of the milling cutter in CutterServer; check the power supply of the milling cutter; eliminate the error according to the drive error report method.
- An error is reported when the milling cutter is turned on:
- Possible cause: The emergency stop line is disconnected; the cutting equipment is not turned on.
- Solution: Check the emergency stop line and eliminate the line problem; first turn on the power of the machine, then turn on the power of the milling cutter.
- The milling cutter is disconnected:
- Possible cause: The power of the milling cutter is turned off under normal conditions; the USB communication line is disconnected.
- Solution: Check the status of the milling cutter; check whether the USB communication line is properly connected.
- When changing from other tools to milling cutters, the lock catch cannot be installed in the positioning rod:
- Possible reason: The direction of the tool holder of the machine head needs to be modified (non-tool direction parameter).
- Solution: Modify the machine parameters, "the angle between the knife and X positive direction" under the tool holder.
