Introduction Pengantar slotting machine (slotter) is a very effective machine for cutting different types of slots.

(Mesin slotting (slotter) merupakan mesin yang sangat efektif untuk memotong celah yang bermacam-macam) it is a very useful machine for prernarked profiles (internal and external) as well as for matching circular surfaces as wel as irregular surfaces. () it operates on the system of shaper but main difference between the shaper and slotter is what whereas in a slotter the ram holding the tool reciprocates in a vertical axis in a shaper it reciprocates in a horizontal axis. as regards construction, operation and use the two machines (vertical shaper) and slotter are very much similiar to each other. however, whereas in the case of vertical shaper the ram holding the tool may also operate at an angle to the horizontal table in addition to the vertical stroke.

the slotting machine was developed by Brunel in 1800 (earlier than shaper came into use).

construction of slotter machine (susunan Mesin slotter) the main parts of a slotter are : 1. base or bed it is heavy part of cast iron and supports table with its fittings. ram drive mechanisms are columns. on its top it carries horizontal ways along which the table ca be traversed. 2. column it is a vertical member integrally with the base and houses driving mechanism of the ram and feeding mechanism. it is another cast iron massive in area and as such is similar to bed. 3. table rotary table is a circular one mounted on the top of cross slide. the table may be rotated by hand or by power. to facilitate dividing the number of parts of the periphery of the job in the desired number the table is graduated in degrees. for holding the work by differet clamping devices T-slots are cut on the top face 4. ram and the tool head assembly (pendorong dan

It moves the vertical guide ways located in front of the column. The tool is supported at its bottom and on a tool head. Position of the stroke is changed using the slots cut on the body of the ram. To release the tool during its return stroke some mechanism are fitted with special type of tool holders. 5 . saddle It is mounted on the guide ways and may be moved towards or away from the tool. To provide guide ways for the cross slide the top face of the saddle is accurately finished. These guide ways are perpendicular to the guide ways on the base. 6. ram and drive mechanism The dlotter does not perform any cutting operation during the return stroke. To reduce this idle return time to improve efficiency of the machine, the machine is provided quick return mechanism in one of the following ways : 1 hydraulic drive 2. Slotted link drive 3. Slotted link and gear mechanism

1. hydraulic link drive : this method is adopted on machines which are required to perform precision or tool room work. The reduction in vibrations results in superior surface finish. 2. Slotted link gear mechanism : the driving mechanism consist of a pinion, a gear, slotted disc and crank. The crank shaft passes through a disc which carries a T-slot. The main driving pulley is located at the rear side of the machine and is driven through motor driven belts. The circular motion of the disc is converted into reciprocating motion of the ram by crank and connecting rod mechanism. 3. Slotted link and gear mechanism : the mechanism consists of two driving wheels each provided with a trunnion. These trunnions work inside bushed bearings. Eccentricity can work in such a way that the eccentricities revolve die slides inside the slot of the link and in the process make the link away about the fulcrum.

Specification The specification of slotter are : 1. The maximum stroke length

2. Diameter of rotary rtable 3. Maximum travel of saddle and cross slide 4. Type of drive used 5. Power rating of motor 6. Net weight of machine 7. Number and amount of feeds and 8. Floor area required

pengantar slotting mesin (slotter) adalah mesin yang sangat efektif untuk memotong berbagai jenis celah. itu adalah mesin yang sangat berguna untuk profil prernarked (internal dan eksternal) serta untuk penyesuaian permukaan melingkar dan juga permukaan tidak teratur. beroperasi pada sistem pembentuk namun perbedaan utama antara pembentuk dan slotter adalah apa sedangkan di slotter sebuah ram memegang alat reciprocates dalam sumbu vertikal dalam pembentuk itu reciprocates dalam sumbu horisontal. mengenai konstruksi, operasi dan menggunakan dua mesin (pembentuk vertikal) dan slotter sangat banyak mirip satu sama lain. Namun, sedangkan dalam kasus pembentuk vertikal ram memegang alat ini juga dapat beroperasi pada sudut meja horizontal di samping stroke vertikal.

mesin slotting dikembangkan oleh Brunel tahun 1800 (awal dari pembentuk mulai dipakai).

konstruksi mesin slotter bagian utama dari slotter adalah: 1. dasar atau bed itu adalah bagian berat dari besi cor dan mendukung meja dengan perlengkapan nya. mekanisme drive ram adalah kolom. di bagian atas itu melakukan cara horisontal sepanjang yang meja dapat dilalui.

2. kolom itu adalah anggota vertikal menyatu dengan dasar dan rumah driving mekanisme ram dan mekanisme feeding. itu adalah besi cor lain yang besar di daerah dan dengan demikian mirip dengan bed. 3. meja meja putar adalah salah satu yang melingkar dipasang di atas silang geser. meja bisa diputar dengan tangan atau dengan kekuatan. untuk memfasilitasi membagi jumlah bagian pinggiran pekerjaan dalam jumlah yang diinginkan tabel lulus dalam derajat. untuk memegang pekerjaan oleh perangkat klem yang berbeda T-celah dipotong di muka atas
