SETTING UP THE BACK SECTION:
Commander Lock Section:
Lock Section Location:
LEFT and Right (Standard) before moving the lock section, it must be unclamped. The lock section,
positioned with an air operated clamp attachment, squeezes the upper bearing shaft on the right hand
side of the lock carriage. This clamp releases by flipping the toggle valve marked “Clamp” on the
handle bar to the “OFF” position. If the machine clamps the door and you want to move the lock
section for a second lock: flip the “index” toggle valve to the “OFF” position also. This will release the
self centering chip out clamp as well as the edge clamping, while maintaining the claming on the front
side of the machine. The indicator on top of the lock section reads the distance from the fixed in-feed
stop. For determining the lock location for doors machined off the off feed stop uses the following
formula:
LOCK SETTING = OFF FEED STOP LOCATION – LOCK LOCATION
LEFT and RIGHT Shift with Multi-Stop for Locks Section (OPTIONAL):
This system uses a “pickle fork” attached to an air cylinder to position the lock section. A 1” shaft is
mounted behind the indicator tape parallel to the bearings shafts. Clamp collars to the shaft at common
lock locations. On top of the indicator tape, little clamp on indicator arrows can locate positions
corresponding to the collars. To move the lock section, flip both the clamp and the index toggles on
the handlebar to the “off” position. This will unclamp the shaft clamp, retract the indexing “pickle
fork” and release the self centering and edged clamping of the lock section, even if the door is clamped
(in this case, the door and jamb clamps will remain clamped). Now, push the handlebar so that the
lock indicator is within ¼” of the desired location and flip the clamp and index toggle valves to “ON”.
To initially set up the collars
1. Use the tape reader to position the lock section.
2. Clamp the lock section with only the “Clamp” valve.
3. Go behind the machine, loosen up a shaft collar and move it directly above the “pickle fork”
4. Activate the “index” valve, thus trapping the collar with the “pickle fork”.
5. Tighten the shaft collar securely.
6. Attach on the indicator arrows above the tape in line with the indictor attached to the lock
section.
