Operator Manual User guide

7. Safety Switch: This magnetic proximity switch is mounted

inside, near the top of the TSM-21. It is activated when the

Safety Buttons are depressed by the work piece.

8. Motor Carriage: The Motor Carriage is the yellow,

pivoting A-frame structure inside the machine. Both the

Router Motor and the Drill Motor are mounted to this

carriage. The forward and back carriage motion during the

machine cycle is provided by the Drive Cylinder.

9. Drive Cylinder: This double-acting pneumatic cylinder

connected to the Motor Carriage and the machine case,

moves the carriage through the routing and drilling phases

of the cycle. When the cylinder rod extends (moving the

carriage toward the rear) the router cuts the pocket. When

the cylinder rod retracts (moving the carriage forward) the

pilot drill bores the pilot hole into the pocket. Note: SQE

valves are replaced by elbow fittings in models with Serial

Number 62481 and higher.

10. Router Stop Switch: This magnetic proximity switch is

mounted on the Router Stop Plate inside of the machine. At

the full extension of the routing stroke, the carriage

interrupts this switch to signal the start of the drilling stroke.

11. Drill Stop Switch: This magnetic proximity switch is

mounted inside the machine case near the Safety Buttons.

At the full extension of the drilling stroke, the carriage

interrupts this switch to signal the end of the cutting cycle.

The carriage returns to the neutral position and the clamp

releases the work piece.

12. Control Box: The Control Box is the sheet metal enclosure

containing the electrical and pneumatic controls. Mounted

in the Control Box are the power switch and the power

outlets for the motors. Mounted on the underside of the

Control Box are the air inlet, the Pressure Regulator, the

Router Speed Control valve, and the solenoid valves.
