Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of our kit for a
Basic-Line CNC portal milling machine. We recom-
mend reading through these instructions completely
before assembly and then assembling the kit step by
step as described.
Required tools
The following tools and aids must or should be avai-
lable during assembly:
• Common hand tools, such as Allen keys,
screwdrivers, plastic hammers, etc.
• Work surface as at as possible in the size of
the base frame
• Flat or stop angle, at least
• 300 mm long in tolerance class 1 or better
• Dial indicator with stand / holder
• Torque wrench from 6 Nm up to
• at least 25 Nm1)
1) In order to avoid warping due to screws tightened
unevenly, the use of a torque wrench for load-bearing
screws M5 to M8 is recommended. By observing the
prescribed tightening torque also prevents unwanted
loosening during later operation of the machine.
Optional accessories
The fully assembled machine can be supplemented
and adapted to your requirements with optional ac-
cessories. In the Sorotec shop you will nd:
• Performance Kit 2)
• Milling spindles
• Electrical installation kit
• Control electronics
• Control software
• T-slot plate
• Vacuum table
• Minimum quantity lubrication
Caution!
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!
General information
Please assemble the kit as carefully and precisely
as possible - the accuracy of the nished machine
does not only depend on the quality of the delivered
components, but also to a high degree on the correct
assembly and exact alignment. Before assembly, all
components must be checked for burrs and rewor-
ked if necessary.
2) recommended for processing non-ferrous metals

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!

Floating bearings are not "loose bearings"
When storing a shaft in a machine, the thermal linear expansion must always be taken into account in the
design. In the case of a ball screw made of high alloy steel, for example, with a length of 0.1 ... 0.2 mm per
meter per 10 Kelvin temperature difference, this is quite considerable the additional tenths have to go
somewhere.
If the roller bearings were to be firmly connected at the ends both to the shaft and to the surrounding housing,
considerable axial stress would quickly arise as a result of thermal expansion. The bearings would be severely
overloaded and would wear out after a short time; Gradually louder, grinding rolling noises are the alarm signal
for bearing damage at the end.
Web: www.sorotec.de
Conflicting requirements
For this reason, the fit between the bearing seat on the shaft and
the inner ring of the bearing as well as that between the outer ring
and the bore in the housing is very tight on the fixed bearing.
Great forces may be required for assembly (plastic hammer, if
necessary driving sleeve for the inner ring), the use of heat and/or
cold to expand or shrink the components can also be helpful. In
any case, use oil!
At the floating bearing, a firm clamping should only guarantee the
guidance of the shaft radially (so that it does not "slack around"),
but it should be movable in the longitudinal direction to allow
thermal expansion without the build up of tension forces. The
mobility can take place either between the shaft and the inner ring
of the bearing or between the outer ring and the housing seat.
The bearing must not jam in one of the seats. However, the seat
must not be too loose either: even before any disruptive radial
mobility comes into play, one of the rings could begin to "wander"
and gradually wear down the seat on the shaft or in the housing.
Compromise: tight but not clamped
In practice, a workable compromise is usually reached by sliding the floating bearing tightly onto the end of the
shaft, but without using much force. How large the force may be is at the discretion of the machine builder. The
span of justifiable handling ranges from energetic pressing by hand (but without hammer blows) to pushing it onto
the “sucking” seat.
Important to know: Standard parts such as bearings also have tolerances. With the problem discussed here, a few
thousandths of a millimeter can make a big difference one bearing is jammed, the next can be easily pushed on.
If possible, trying out several bearings can lead to success. Otherwise it has to be reworked. This is also normal
and commonplace in mechanical engineering.
Regrind bearing seat
If necessary, use a piece of abrasive fleece to make the loose bearing seat of the ball screw sufficiently free to
move. Alternatively, you can also use very fine grain sandpaper. Make sure you work evenly all around. Try
frequently to slide the bearing onto the oiled seat. If the inner ring is tight without binding, the floating bearing is
installed correctly.

bearing in a Sorotec Alu-Line
Attention!
If you have to pull of a bearing that accidentally stuck by
gripping the outer ring, it is likely badly damaged and should
no longer be used.

Preparatory work
Preparing angles for surface
mounting
When installing an angle 34 or 35 on a component
without fastening grooves, the centering tabs on the
angle must be removed before installation (see Figu-
re 1). This can be done by breaking o󰀨 with a screw-
driver or ling / sanding.

Mount the xed bearings
• Push the rst bushing onto the ball screw.
Place the xed bearing unit on the ball screw.
• Push the second bushing onto the ball screw.
• Screw the shaft nut onto the ball screw.
Attention: The collar of the shaft nut in the
direction of the xed bearing block.
• To adjust the axial play, tighten the shaft nut
until the ball screw can only be turned with
di󰀩culty in the xed bearing unit. Then carefully
loosen the shaft nut a little (approx. 5 °) until the
ball screw can easily be turned again.
• Screw the stud bolts into the threaded holes in
the shaft nut and tighten.
• X drive only: screw the xed bearing 4F to the
ange plate 12 ; Tighten the screws D2 slightly.
• Align the rear edges of the xed bearing and
ange plate in parallel and tighten the screws.

• Press the roller bearing into the housing.
Note:
In order not to damage the rolling bearing when in-
stalling it in the housing, only push / hit on the bearing
outer ring. Use a suitable drive sleeve (tube) and oil
the outer bearing ring before assembly!
• Place the oating bearing on the ball screw.
