1.2. Activation
The machine should be installed on a flat surface, capable of supporting its weight (230 kg).
The SYLVAC-SCAN F60(T) must be lifted using the loops provided for this purpose and a strap lifting device.
Ensure that general and local accident prevention regulations are complied with. (Figure 2)

The machine has 4 supporting legs and 2 anti-tilt
stands:
• Foot 0 (x 2): Anti-tilt stands
• Foot 1
• Foot 2
• Foot 3
• Foot 4
Note : Do not rely on the height of the feet in the le-
velling procedure, nor the colours which are shown
for illustration purposes only. (the feet are actually
black in real life)
2.1. Locating the spirit level and the machine feet
Level the machine using the spirit level incorporated into the headstock as a reference.
To access it, slide off the cover (Figure 3):

Level not Ok
To get the spirit level in the correct position, adjust the individual feet of the machine with a 13 mm spanner (a 19 mm
spanner is necessary afterwards for confirming the adjustments, figure 4).

QUICKSTART
2.2. Stages of the levelling process
1) Raise the 2 anti-tilt stands (0) so that they are no longer in contact with the bench. (Figure 5)
2) Adjust the height of feet 1, 2 and 3 with a 13 mm spanner as much as is necessary in order to get the spirit level in a
centred position (the order of adjustment of the feet does not matter). (Figure 6)
Figure 5
Figure 6
3) Once the right configuration has been found, tighten foot 4, check that the spirit level is correct and lock all the other
feet in position (from 0 to 4) using a 13 mm spanner and a 19 mm spanner (Figure 7).
Figure 7
4) Then check the spirit level one last time. If it is in the correct position, you have finished.
Note : The levelling process can also be performed using any other 3 of the rear feet (e.g. 2, 3, 4 or 3, 4, 1 or 4, 1, 2)
depending on ease of access.
Note : Note: If installing the machine on a Sylvac bench, first level the bench
using an external spirit level (not integrated) and then adjust the machine
using its own feet. (Figure 8)
Do not adjust the level of the machine using the 4 legs of the bench!

3. SAFETY ADVICE
Sylvac machines have been developed with state of the art technology. However, it is important to understand and comply
with a few safety rules.
Read the manual carefully.
Only use the machine in the manner described.
Unqualified or inexperienced people are not authorised to use the machine.
All of the machine’s movements are to be performed behind the safety light
curtain. When this curtain is breached, the machine stops automatically.
It is forbidden to remove or to modify the safety light curtain (except during maintenance
performed by an approved Sylvac representative).
Sylvac SA accepts no liability for any unauthorised modifications.
Emergency stop button: Do not block access to the emergency stop button.
The calliper onto which the headstock and tailstock are attached (which support the piece
to be measured) is supported by two cables which are connected to the counterweight. If
one of the cables is damaged, immediately shut down the machine and replace the cable in
question.
Sylvac SA accepts no liability if the user does not comply with the instructions written on the
machine and contained in the user manual.

4. OVERVIEW AND CONFIGURATION
A - Tailstock: supports the upper part of the calliper, can be moved manually along the calliper according to the size of the
piece.
B - Piece to be measured: for the user to affix the piece to be measured between the stocks.
C - Headstock: supports the bottom part of the calliper, can rotate if necessary.
D - Locking knob: for manually adjusting the tailstock along the calliper.
E - Attachment lever: for changing accessory (cone, chucks, tapers, etc.). Can be used for top or bottom mounting.
F - Emergency stop button: Press to stop the machine in the event of a dangerous situation. Pull it out once the danger
has been removed.
G - Motor start-up: Press to restart the motors after an emergency stop.

5. QUICKSTART OF THE SYLVAC-REFLEX SCAN+SOFTWARE
1 - Turn on the machine using the ON/OFF button
2 - Start up the computer
3 - Launch the Sylvac-Reflex Scan+ software by clicking on the icon
4 - The below window will be displayed on your screen. Log in as a supervisor using the password “123”.
5 - Press the Reflex-Click button (H) on the front of the machine. Your system must be calibrated before making the first
measurement, you will receive a message to confirm the calibration request. Then press the Reflex-Click button (H) again
to continue.
6 - After completing calibration, you piece can be measured. Note that the Reflex-Click mode is selected by default.
This means that the machine will be capable of automatically detecting and executing an existing programme for the piece
to be measured or it will measure automatically the most common properties (e.g. diameter and length).
7 - Press the Reflex-Click button once more to receive the measurement results in just a few seconds!

QUICKSTART
8 - Press the Compose button to create or edit a programme:
You will then be able to enter the nominal values to compare with the measured values or add new parameters by selecting
them from the tool box (blue: static parameters, red: dynamic parameters) and move your mouse over the contours of the
piece to define the area of interest.
9 - Once you have entered the changes, press the Reflex-Click button. You will be asked to save your programme before
running it.
6. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
The maintenance and servicing of the machines must be performed by people trained and qualified by Sylvac SA or its
official agents.
During servicing or maintenance, switch off the machine completely using the main ON/OFF switch (I). Otherwise, activate
the “Service mode” button on the main panel in order to deactivate the safety light curtain.
Important note : do not forget to deactivate the “service mode” button when the maintenance or servi-
cing work has been completed.
