Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing our kit for a CNC por-
tal milling machine from the Alu-Line. Before assem-
bly, we recommend reading through these instruc-
tions completely and then assembling the kit step by
step as described.
General information
Please assemble the kit as carefully as possible
and exact – the accuracy of the nished machine
depends not only on the quality of the delivered com-
ponents, but also to a large extent of correct assem-
bly and alignment. All components must be checked
prior to assembly to ensure they are free of burrs and
reworked if necessary.
Optional accessories
The fully assembled machine can be further supple-
mented and adapted to your requirements with op-
tional accessories. In the Sorotec shop you will nd,
among other things, milling spindles, base frames,
housings, vacuum tables, control electronics, control
software and minimum quantity lubrication.
Attention!
Only carry out the work if you are familiar with the
necessary actions and suitable tools are available.
Sorotec GmbH assumes no liability for damage to
property or personal injury occurring during assem-
bly or operation of the CNC portal milling machine!
Notice:
These instructions apply to all Alu-Line kits. When
assembling a kit with 2 ball screws on the X-axis,
the sections marked with 2S the additional inst-
ructions „Assembly 2nd ball screw X-axis“ must
be observed.
All directions (left, right, front, back, up and down)
in this manual are based on the view as shown in
the gure below.

Infosheet Measure Screws

77836 Rheinmünster E-Mail: [e-mail] Version 1.0 Juli 0 0
Dimensions
Screw sizes are always given in the form of "diameter x length". In the case of metric screws, the diameter is
given by an M. Wood, sheet metal or plastic screws are not specially marked in the dimensioning. The unit of
measurement mm is usually not specified.
Examples:
M4 x 40 - metric screw with M4 thread and 40 mm length
3 x 5 - wood screw 3 mm in diameter and 5 mm in length
Web: www.sorotec.de
Diameter
Measurements are always made with the vernier caliper and on the
outside of the thread. To prevent the cutting edges of the measuring
jaws from slipping into the thread grooves, the screw is placed
lengthways between the jaws.
Length
Everything that disappears in the material is part of the
length of a screw. This means that measurements are taken
- ideally with the depth gauge of the caliper - from the
underside of the screw head to the end of the screw. Any
parts without a thread are also part of the length.
Exception countersunk screw
Because the head of the countersunk screw disappears
into the material, the head height here is part of the
length. So the length is measured over everything. But
really: Only with the countersunk screw!

Pre-assembly
Tools needed
The following tools and aids must or should be avai-
lable during assembly:
• Hook wrench KM11 (part of the scope of
delivery)
• Assembly aid 1)
• Common hand tools, such as Allen keys,
screwdrivers, plastic hammers, etc.
• As even a work surface as possible in the size
of the base frame
• Flat or try square, at least 300 mm long in
tolerance class 1 or better
• Dial indicator with stand / holder
• Torque wrench from 6 Nm to at least 25 Nm 2)
Note:
1) The assembly aid is part of the scope of delive-
ry. It is only used to align the long lower linear
guides 29 on the proles 38 . The assembly aid
is placed on the milled stop edges (see page 20).
2) To avoid distortion caused by unevenly tight-
ened screws, the use of a torque wrench for load-
bearing screws M5 to M8 is recommended. Ad-
hering to the prescribed screw tightening torque
also prevents unintentional loosening during later
operation of the machine.
Prepare bracket for surface mounting
When mounting a bracket on a component without
fastening grooves, the centering tabs on the bracket
must be removed before assembly. This can be done
by breaking it o󰀨 with a screwdriver or hitting it with a
hammer. See Fig. 2.
Roller bearing assembly
In order not to damage the roller bearings during as-
sembly in the oating or xed bearing units, only the
outer bearing rings may be pressed / hit. Use a suita-
ble drive sleeve (tube) and oil the outer bearing ring
before assembly. See Fig. 3.

Ball screws, nuts and bearing units
X and Y axis:
• Pull the circlips (red arrow in Fig. 6) o󰀨 the
assembly sleeve and press a dirt wiper 45 into
the recirculating ball nuts 17 of the X and Y
axes on both sides.
• Slide the clamping blocks 46 over the
recirculating ball nuts 17 in such a way that the
locking screws (red ring, Fig. 4) point to the
centering points (red arrow) of the recirculating
ball nuts.
• Fix the recirculating ball nuts 17 with the
locking screws in the clamping blocks.
• X-axis: Screw the clamping block 46 with the
recirculating ball nut onto the recirculating ball
screw 20 in such a way that the locking screw
points to the oating bearing side.
• Y axis: Clamping block 46 with the recirculating
ball nut onto the recirculating ball spindle 19 in
such a way that the locking screw points to the
oating bearing side.
• Press the xed bearing units 22 onto the ends
of the ball screws 19 and 20 and secure by
screwing on the shaft nuts 49 .
• To adjust the axial play, tighten the shaft nuts
49 until the ball screws can only be turned with
di󰀩culty in the xed bearing units. Then
carefully loosen the shaft nuts slightly (approx.
5°) until the ball screws can be turned easily
again.
• Press the oating bearing assembly 23 onto
the end of the X ball screw 20 .
• Press the attened bearing assembly 24 onto
the end of the Y ball screw 19 .
Attention!
The assembly of the ball nuts on the ball screws must
be done very carefully and in a clean environment!
The assembly sleeves of the recirculating ball nuts
may only when turning onto the ball screws
be removed! See Isel instructions in the appendix.

the recirculating ball nut 18 of the Z-axis on
both sides.
• Screw the recirculating ball nut 18 Screw the
recirculating ball nut 21 in such a way that the
lubricating nipple points to the xed bearing side
of the recirculating ball screw (see gure 6).
• Press the xed bearing unit 22 onto the end of
the ball screw 21 and secure it by screwing on
the shaft nut 49 .
• To adjust the axial play, tighten the shaft nut 49
until the ball screw can only be turned with
di󰀩culty in the xed bearing unit. Then carefully
loosen the shaft nut slightly (approx. 5°) until the
ball screw can be turned easily again.

• Screw the linear guide 26 to the aluminum
prole 36 with cylinder screws M5x20 C3 and
hammer nuts G1 ; the reference edge of the
linear guide, marked with red arrows in Fig. 9
below, must lie against the milled stop edge of
the aluminum prole along its entire length.
• Tighten the screws evenly, starting in the middle
and working outwards. Tightening torque: 6 Nm
• Repeat the work steps with the second
aluminum prole or second linear guide.

Note:
The following illustrations show the Alu-Line 1107
kit. The assembly of the other kits is analogous.
The rest of the assembly of the base frame is car-
ried out lying on its back, as shown in the adjacent
gure.
Fig. 10: Lay the base frame on its back
The base frame must be mounted in such a way that
there is an air gap of around 0.5 mm between the
front sides of the aluminum proles 35 and the long
aluminum prole 36 to align the base frame. On the
opposite side, the front sides of the aluminum proles
35 must be in contact with the long aluminum prole
36 . The parallelism of the base frame does not
have to be taken into account in this work step.
The base frame is to be tted with as little tension
as possible.
