The machine consists of a pendular parallelogram that is balanced by a pneumatic spring,
plus a radial arm. The gas spring and the radial arm assembly fix the motor head and keep it
perpendicular to the working area.
The electronic motor is equipped with a NC control. The machine can work in either manual
or automatic mode, allowing us to configurate and control aspects such as the thread depth,
the desired quantity of lubrication for each tap, the material type or else the recommended
thread speed. By means of a quick-change system, a set of 6 modules or reducers can be
assembled to the motor end. These allow us to adjust the thread speed depending on the
size to be done.
Aforesaid modules have also incorporated a quick-change system to fit the tapholders with or
without safety clutch.

CHAPTER 1 – DESCRIPTION
AUTOMATIC TAP LUBRICATION
*Caution: USE CUTTING OIL.Certain lubricant types containing trichlorines and alcohols
can damage some of the valve components..
Inside the radial arm (no.6 page 4) the cutting oil reservoir is located. This is used for
lubricating the tool during the tapping operation.
The lubrication time is predetermined in the NC programme according to the size of tap.
However by means of the screen keys, we can vary the lubrication time percentage
depending on the material, the tap condition, etc. For its programming, please check pages
11, 13 and 14 if you work in manual as well as in automatic type.
After filling up the oil reservoir because of being empty, it is possible that there is air inside its
system so that you must switch on several times the motor until the circuit is completely
bleed.
LIFTER
We can increase the working area in 170 mm in order to work on different height levels. For
doing this, we should:
To adjust the desired height level position of the
machine, you must close up the arms by placing
the tilting arm in its interlock (18, page 4) and
apply some pressure up or down until reach the
needed height
The lifter system remains blocked when opening
out the arm.

CHAPTER 4 – WARNINGS
The usage and running of the machine has several risks and some preventive measures
should be taken into account by the operator to avoid any physical damages.
1.- Use always security glasses when working with the machine
2.- Do not put the fingers near the headmember end when the arm reaches its higher
position.
3.- When changing the modules 40, 75 or 140, place the arm in its higher position in
order to avoid a sudden movement upwards when taking out the module from its
placement. This hit would come due to the energy accumulated by the damper.
Before making any manipulation to the machine, for verification, manipulation, repair or
maintenance, the following aspect should be bore into account:
4.- Disconnect the machine from the power supply, before taking out the board cover or
the motor case.

17
CHAPTER 5 – TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM: THE MACHINE FAILS TO OPERATE, THE MOTOR DOES NOT START OR STOPS
Remove the electronics box housing (5, page 4) thereby exposing the electronics, and check
the trouble condition as per the LED’s being provided on the board’s back side.
With the machine and the main switch on:
- The green LED –POWER- must be always on. This is an indication that the speed
electronics board is operative.
- Green LED off.Check the voltage input and the fuses.
- If the LED's L1, L2, L3 are not on with the motor running, this is indicative of the
correct operation of the unit.
- If any of these LED's is on, troubleshoot as per the following table:
LED’s
Green L3 L2 L1 TROUBLE NOTE
●●
INHIBIDO Proper operation of the machine. This LED L3 goes off
when starting the motor
●●
Temp. Motor (ºC.) Very high temperature. Wait till the motor temperature
lowers and reset the unit.
●●●Def. Power Short-circuit between the motor phases or in the power
stage. Reset the unit and contact the manufacturer if the
problem persists.
●●Over Voltaje Overvoltage. Check the voltage input
●●●Under Voltaje Low input or power level. Check the voltage input.
●●●l2t ciclo alto High current consumption (effective current) due to an
overload while in operation. Reset the unit.
●●●●Error resolver
Sensor trouble because of a cut or wrongly connected
cable or because of a wrong configuration of the
variator.
1.- Check the cables between the variator and the motor.
2.- Reset the unit and contact the manufacturer if the
problem persists.
PROBLEM: THE TILTING ARM DROPS
Probable reasons Solution
1.-Not-equilibrated arm = Balance the arm according to the weight to
be held. Verify point E (page 8)
2.-Defective damper = Replace it for a new one (page 19)

18
CHAPTER 5 – TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM: THE CLUTCH SLIPS AND THE TAP CANNOT BE TURNED, BEING THE
MOTOR IN OPERATION
Probable reasons Solution
1.- Clutch slackness = Adjust clutch (page 18)
2.- No tool lubrication = Use cutting oil or with additives according
to the material
3.- Inappropriate tap for the material = See page 39
4.- Tap spoiled “worn”
5.- Misaligned hole
6.- Drilled hole diameter too small
PROBLEM: THE LUBRICATION SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK
Probable reasons Solution
1.- Oil reservoir empty = Fill in the reservoir (filling cup 6, page 4)
2.- Lubrication nipple obstructed = Unscrew the end of the lubrication nipple
and clean it. (ATTENTION: Do not mislay the
spring and the ball located inside)
IMPORTANT:
If the oil reservoir has been fully emptied the circuit will have possibly been filled with air, so
that after having filled the reservoir it is necessary to start the motor several times in
succession with the lubrication time set to the maximum.
WARRANTY
The warranty period for the machine is 12 months. The warranty does not cover any damage
caused by overloads, wear and improper handling of the machine. The warranty covers the
costs of labouring and damaged spare parts. The transport, packaging and assurances are
