Chapter 1: Overview
General
The pneumatic Lock & Cylinder machine is a punching machine that
perforates both vertical & horizontal axis in one single action. It is used to
perforate slots in doors, for their lock mechanisms. The special clamping
system ensures cleanly cut perforations.

The machine is supplied with mandrels and under plates to suit various
profiles. The under plates are used to adjust the profile’s height.

Round handles which can be pulled out allow the user to neutralize one or
both horizontal movement, according to needs.

The machine is operated by a manual air valve; while the operator’s other
hand holds the profile in position.

The machine is a ‘bench’ type. For the convenience of operating the

machine in the workshop, a centre pivot on the bench is provided to
manually rotate the machine by 360 deg.

Chapter 2: Getting Started

Settings
No setting is needed. The machine is set already, for the various profiles. If
the need to reset the machine arises, please contact our technical service
team.

Installation
Install the machine on the Work Bench

• With the special “steel bench”, the machine does not need to be
connected to the bench by bolts. It is set on a pivot, and being
manually pushed, it can swivel on the center pivot to allow convenient
operation.

• With other solid workbenches the machine must be connected to the

base plate by 4 bolts.

The machine airline should not obstruct movement of workers. Also, allow
ample space around the machine according the size of the profiles being
punched.
