4GENERAL DESCRIPTIONAND TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The machine consists of a radial parallelogram, plus two gas spring-balanced pendulum
parallelograms and a head with double pivot axis (in the RHM I RHC configuration), all of which
fix the motor and keep it perpendicular to the working area.
The motor is fitted with a quick-change system and is supplied with pressurised air, previously
filtered and lubricated by equipment provided for this purpose.
A modular system consisting of seven quick-change planetary gears allows speed and torque to
be adapted to the thread cutting requirements.
The tool holder (or tap holder) with or without safety clutch, is also coupled to the motor by
means of a quick-change system.

5INSTALLATION
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT THE INSTALLATION
✓The work bench or installation location must be a horizontal surface, thus avoiding shifts and
deviations.
✓The steps to follow for the installation will depend on the fastening method and the
alternatives available in the selected location. In any case, the integrator, owner and/or end
user is responsible for determining the product's suitability for each use, the installation
location, specifically defining the task to be performed within the limits set forth in this
manual and the issue of the statement of compliance.
1. Remove the equipment from itsoriginal packaging.
2. Secure the base of the equipment (1) using the three M10 screws (2) (8mm Allen key).
3. Connect the air hose to the motor.
4. Cut the safety flanges (3).
5. Fill the oil reservoir (4) with SAE-10 lubricating oil.
6. Make the air connection (5) (Øint 12 mm tube)4.
7. Check that the connection has been made properly and that there is no risk of leaks or
anomalies in the supply.
4 If the supply pipe is longer than 8m, use a Øint 14mm tube.

ROSCAMAT 500 17
INSTALLATION SITE
Do not install the equipment in environments such as:
✓Areas with explosion or fire hazards
✓Exterior areas
✓Corrosive areas
✓Areas with extreme temperatures (very high or very low)
✓Areas with high humidity
✓Dusty areas
✓Areas with high electromagnetic emissions
SUPPLYAIR
✓The supply air must meet the specifications shown in [See TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
page15].
✓Use clean air. If the compressed air contains chemicals, organic solvents, synthetic oil or
corrosive gases, the parts may be damaged or may cause malfunction [See COMPRESSED AIR
MAINTENANCE UNIT page30].
✓When there is excessive condensation, install a device that removes water, for example, a
dryer or water dryer (condensate collector), on the inlet side of the air filter.
CAUTION
Once the installation is complete, check the following points:
1. A supply pressure of 6-8 bar corresponds to the maximum power.
2. The pressure gauge pressure may drop by 0.5 to 1.5 bar (maximum) when the engine is
running. If the supply falls below 2 bar, the supply flow will be insufficient.
3. Check the sight glass (1) for 2 to 3 drops of oil per minute. It is adjusted using the
controller (2).

ROSCAMAT 500 18
5.1 CHANGING MODULES
1. Move the machine to its folded or parked position.
2. To remove the module:
-Turn the locking ring (A)anti-clockwise (red with red)
-Remove the module
3. To insert the module: -Insert module (red with red)
-Turn the locking ring (B) clockwise (close, green with red)
-Check that the module is self-supporting
4. Readjust the arms [See BALANCING THE ARM page 20].
CAUTION
✓When the module is removed, there may be a sudden jerk of the arm.

ROSCAMAT 500 19
6ADJUSTMENTS
6.1 MOTOR ROTATION SPEED
The pneumatic motor "self-regulates" speed and torque when threading (if more
resistance is encountered, the torque increases, but the speed is reduced). The motor
speed can be adjusted via the flow control valve (1) and the pressure regulator (2).
To increase or decrease the thread cutting speed:
1- Adjust the flow control valve (1) and the pressure regulator (2) until the desired ratio is
found. Observe the Consumption-Pressure-Speed relationship as an approximation.
For more information about thread cutting speeds and torques [See ACCESSORIES FOR THREAD
CUTTING page 36].

ROSCAMAT 500 20
6.2 BALANCING THE ARM
Regulate the tension of internal shock absorber if the arm drops or has a lot of upward
force.
1- Maintain the tilting arm in an approximately horizontal position to facilitate the task.
2- Use the adjusting screw provided for this purpose and turn as required.
•Anti-clockwise rotation: Increases the tension in the spring.
•Clockwise rotation: Reduces the tension in the spring.
BALANCING THE ARM
✓Balancing of the arm must be carried out each time the module is changed.
