Overview of the DL-NCD
The DL-NCD is a Numerically-Controlled Door Light Cut-Out Machine
equipped with AC servo control for all three axes of cutting, ‘X’
(Length of the door), ‘Y’ (width of
the door), and ‘Z’ (Depth into the face
of the door). The ‘Z’ axis servo
control makes it simple to pro-
gram for security locks where
the face bore is machined to a
precise depth and also allows the
operator to reduce the plunge
speed to minimize tearout in the
bottom face when machining
small diameter holes. When the DL-NCD is used as a
drill, deburring on the bottom face may be required.
The DL-NCD is equipped with an automatic feed and width
adjust system to automatically receive doors, position the door
against the stop, clamp the door and start the machining sequence if the instructions have been
downloaded.
The DL-NCD can process doors that vary in height from 6’-6” to 8’-0”, 12” to 3’-6” in width and
1-3/4” in thickness. Minimum distance from edge of cutout to edge of door is 1-1/2" on both
sides.The direct drive high frequency spindle motor for cutting the door is equipped with an
automatic tool changer and access to eight (8) additional tool holders placed in a fixture along
the fixed side of the machine. Programs can call for an automatic tool change to match the spec-
ified door cutting process.
RPM adjustment for wood, fiberglass or steel doors.
Individual door light patterns are created at the machine console, or remotely using a standard PC.
The DL-NCD includes an industrial PC with a standard Ethernet connection for file transfer and
library backup, as well as occasional internet support and updates from Kval.
With Purchase, the Customer may submit up to Eight(8) door specifications/cutout templates
which will be pre-programmed prior to shipment. Kval suggests the customer submit their more
difficult templates, such as ovals, for the Kval programmers to implement.
KvalCAM Architectural Door Software
KvalCAM, proprietary architectural door software, provides simple machinery programming and
automated G-Code creation. KvalCAM allows customers to easily create template files for a wide
variety of hardware (locks, closers, sweeps, hinges, etc.) by the shape, dimensions, and location of
the hardware cuts. Understanding G-Code machine-logic is no longer needed to develop pro-
grams for new templates.

Overview of the DL-NCD
KVAL Operation Manual 1-3
The unique feature of this powerful software is providing the capability to utilize one hardware
template for each piece of hardware even if it requires an array of face and edge detailing mor-
tises. KvalCAM integrates multiple machines and tools into a singular functioning unit with each-
machine communicating in unison pulling information from the same door file.
For example, a mortise lock that has five different size face holes (on both faces of the door), an
edge face plate, a mortise pocket, and an extended electrical wire pocket can be grouped as one
hardware template utilizing multiple machines and tools in-line.
Once hardware templates are created, the customer defines specific doors with all hardware and
location to be machined. This can be done with the KvalCAM software off-line, through a cus-
tomer’s database, or by the operator at the machine. When the door is loaded, KvalCAM checks
the tools and machines available, and automatically generates the G-Code and optimizes the
machining sequence for the entire process.
Furthermore, KvalCAM offers increased supportability and troubleshooting capabilities. Newly
developed error codes and code definitions quickly identify any problems to the operator or Kval
tech.
For more information regarding the full functionality and benefits of KvalCAM, please refer to
your Kval Sales Engineer.
All DL-NCD installations require that the integrated PC computer has access to broadband internet
for real-time diagnostics and program updates. On-board diagnostic programs allow the user to
determine the source of operating errors and failures, even after they have occurred.
A tool holder stand and torque wrench are included so tool changes may be done quickly and
accurately.
STANDARD ORIENTATION: Standing at the fixed fence, the DL-NCD feeds from left to right.
Entry doors are oriented sill end leading, with the lock side against the fixed fence. Doors are usu-
ally aligned so the lock side of the door is against the fixed fence to ensure the lock bore backset
is accurate.
