PVC Screen Slotting Machine
JK1012S
Single Head PVC Screen Slotting Machine
The JK1012S is the single head version of our popular JK1012D Double Head Slotting Machine.
JK1012S Details:
• Main Power: 240 volt 3 phase
• One 7 1/2 hp slotting motor
• Air Supply 120 psi 10 cfm
• Panasonic GT touch screen for programming and operating the machine
• Slotting capability of 1″ to 8″ PVC pipe in 20′ lengths or less; 10″ to 12″ sch 40 PVC pipe in 10′ lengths or less (This machine can slot 20′ lengths of 10″-12″ sch40 PVC pipe with modifications to the slotting head and indexer.)*
•Two high torque closed loop stepper gear motors
• 24′ indexer frame rail
• 15′ pipe support with multi directional rollers for easy indexing and movement of pipe
*If you are going to be slotting a large volume of 6″ – 12″ sch80 pipe in 20′ lengths or less, we recommend a heavy duty slotting machine such as the JK4012HD. This machine has been designed to handle large quantities of longer, heavier PVC pipe.
Automatic Pipe Indexer
The automatic pipe indexing unit is equipped with two high torque closed loop stepper gear motors. One of the stepper motor systems will perform the operation of indexing the pipe accurately for each row of slots and the other will move the indexer, pushing the pipe through the machine for each segment of slots (indexer travel system).
The Indexer has 3 primary functions:
1. Clamp and hold pipe by the use of an expandable
ID pipe holders located on the 1 1/4″ indexer shaft.
2. Turn pipe and accurately stop on the preset amount
of rows to be cut on the pipe’s OD circumference.
3. Move pipe forward through machine to the next
segment of slots to be cut
The JK1012S will slot even or odd number of rows.
ID Pipe Holders
The pipe is held securely by the expandable ID pipe holder which is mounted to the 1 1/4″ indexer drive shaft.
Shown above is the four arm size #2 ID pipe holder with larger cone for holding 8”-12”.
1/2” extension pins used for 12”. 3/16” rubber oring stock is wrapped around four arms and used to collapse holding arms when air cylinder moves cone forward.
OD Pipe Clamps
Upper and lower center pipe clamps hold pipe secure while slotting occurs. Five sizes of OD clamps available for 1″-12″ pipe.
Touch Screen Programming
Touch Screen
The touch screen is located on the electrical box above the indexer. On each screen, detailed instructions are listed to assist you in the operation of the slotting machine. The pipe indexing and indexer travel distance will be monitored and set with an Panasonic GT touch screen. The touch screen will be used to set the amount of rows to be slotted, display the active row, set and display the travel distance per segment of slots, display cycle time for each screen, and have manual operation buttons to test each system and speed setting for both the indexer and travel system.
Slotting Saw Shaft Assembly
The slotting shaft assembly consists of the following parts:
1] One Slotter Shaft: 17 1/2″ x 1″ x 3/4″ ends 3″ H Pulley; left hand
2] Two 3/4″ bearings and straps per shaft
3] 3″, 4″ or 5″ jeweler’s slotting saws with 1″ bore (varies depending on pipe and slot size)
4] Aluminum Spacers (varies depending on slot spacing and slot size)
5] Drive Belt 360H300
The amount of saw blades used on the shaft will vary depending upon the slot size, slot spacing and pipe size.
All slotting saw shafts are made out of C1144 stress proof steel on a precision CNC lathe by J&K Tool Company. Shafts are turned to the closest tolerance possible and turn true at high RPM.
Aluminum spacers are also made by J&K Tool Company on a precision CNC lathe. Spacers are machined to be perfectly parallel and flat.
If the spacers are not perfectly parallel and machined within a very close tolerance, the slotter shaft will bend.
