A Slotting machine may also be known as heavy-duty shaper. Slotting machine resembles a shaping machine in all respect except that the ram instead of reciprocating to and fro in the horizontal plane, moves up and down in the vertical plane. Therefore, the slotting machine is sometimes called as vertical shaper. In this article we will see slotter machine functions and types of slotting machine .

The slotting machine is actually a vertical planar, and its mechanical structure principle is similar to that of a head planer. The inserting knife moves back and forth in the vertical direction as the principal direction, while the processed object is moved intermittently or as a feed motion on a circular arc. Broaching is a machining process that uses a toothed tool, called a broach, to remove material.There are two main types of broaching: linear and rotary.In linear broaching, which is the more common process, the broach is run linearly against a surface of the workpiece to effect the cut.
Functions of Slotting Machine
The main function of a slotting machine is to remove metal from a piece of a work to bring it to the required shape and size. This is accomplished by holding the work rigidly on the machine and a reciprocating single point tool mounted on tool head. The single point tool moves along a vertical axis over the work piece. The pinion which is in mesh with the main gear gets its drive from a pulley through a belt by motor. The gear is coupled to the slotted disc. The circular motion of slotted disc is converted into the reciprocating one with the help of connecting rod. The crank pin can be formally set in the slot of slotted disc at different distances from the centre for verifying the length of the ram stroke. The position of the stroke is adjusted with the help of hand lever provided for the stroke adjustment. Slotting machine is usually provided with horizontal circular worktable, but coordinate tables are also provided some times. The table is mounted directly over a bed casting and heavy work may be placed on it. The circular table can be revolved by hand or power fed. It is graduated around its outer edges and work can thus be mounted and turned to a predetermined position, depending upon the function for which slotter is designed.
Types of Slotter Machine
Slotting machines are mostly of the following four types:
1. Precision Tool Room Slotter
2. Puncher Slotter
3. General Production Slotter
4. Keyseater Slotter
1. Precision Tool Room Slotter
Tool room slotter is precision type with is use for very precise machining. It is lighter machine and is operate at high speeds. By use special jigs machine can handle a number of equal works on a production basis.
2. Puncher Slotter
Puncher slotter is weighty machine and operational with powerful motor. It is propose to remove large quantity of metal as of large castings or forgings. Length of the stroke is too large.
3. General Production Slotter
Production slotter is general type of slotter use for general production work. Drive of ram is by means of slotted disc with connecting rod. Fly wheel is fixed to prevent shock at the end of stroke.
4. Keyseater Slotter
Keyseaters, also identified as keyseating machines with keyway cutters, are specific machines designed to cut keyways. It is similar to vertical shapers; the dissimilarity is that cutting tool on a keyseater enters the work piece as of bottom and cuts on down-stroke, as the tool on a shaper enter the work piece as of the top and cuts downward. One more difference is a keyseater has a guiding system over the work piece to reduce deflection, which results in a closer tolerance cut. Process starts by clamping the work piece to the table by a fixture or vise.
This machine can cut other straight sided features other than keyways. They can also make blind slots, which are slots that do not enlarge through the whole work piece.

Our Slotting Machine 4AC is the result of 30 years experience and research in design and development of industrial slotting machinery and equipment.
The CAMS slotting machine offers a number of important features :
robust construction: the main structure is manufactured in robust thickness sheet metal (heat treated and processed);
tables in high quality grade cast-iron (grade G30);
the turntable with a working diameter of 1000mm and central 350mm diameter central through hole;
travel surfaces in cast-iron and PTFE with lubrication system designed to substantially reduce the stick/slip effect axes move on recirculating ball screw assemblies;
CAMS has recently improved the head by incorporating in-house designed and developed technological innovations. The ram has been modified in size to offer greater robustness and is driven by a brushless motor transforming it into a machining axis. Gears in an enclosed oil bath connect the drive system to the motor.
Travel surfaces on the head are in cast-in and PTFE ground and scraped.
Machine electrics have been modified offering greater machining performance and flexibility as well as incorporating improved technology:
automatic longitudinal and horizontal pre-programmed and reversible slot machining and automatic rotation of turntable for any required slot depth and diameter.
tool lift obtained by alternating table movements;
once the pre-programmed slot depth has been reached, in automatic the machine performs a number of pre-programmed finishing strokes and the ram stops in position Z- and the workpiece table in automatic returns to machining start cycle position.
The NC machine control offers a simple to use operator / machine interface. Machine data and parameters are displayed on a 10.4 “ touch screen display which is used for entering production and machining programmes. Programming is user friendly and easy to use.
Programmes with zero workpiece can be saved and stored and called up when required. Ram travel is adjusted using the keypad saving on downtimes and tooling times.
Electronic turntable with central through hole to floor with possibility of programming 1500 symmetrical and 999 asymmetrical divisions.
Possibility of machining specific trapezoidal, circular and linear slots.
Thanks to the possibility of having a fourth NC axis (axis Z), the operator can machine tapered slots without having to incline the head. This is achieved by interpolating axis Y with axis Z in automatic and programming the machining angle. This model can run in automatic two or more programmes in sequence.
The head tilts on a worm screw assembly 20° in both directions. Machining speed is programmed and varies form zero to a max of 32 m/min and thanks to the potentiometer incorporated into the control panel speed change is stepless.
The NC machining Z axis and corresponding servo-drive offer improved uniform machining compared to conventional slotting machines resulting in a reduction in consumption and wear in the cutting tool.
The software offers the following standard applications:
• slot repeat: this function is for repeating slot machining without having to proceed with machine setup.
• incremental tool lift: with this function enabled the tool is completely raised out of the slot when the ram returns and returns to zero workpiece position.
• slot bottom finishing: in the event the slot is widened the operator has the possibility of milling the bottom of the slot to finish.
• slot side finishing: this function is for widening the slot by milling and finishing the sides.
If required, it is possible to add and incorporate specific software functions and applications:
• decreasing tool feed: this function allows the operator to automatically modify tool feed (machining) using two specific values initial and final tool feed. This function is enabled by entering the two tool feed values.
• chamfering: once having machined the slot it is possible with this function to chamfer slot edges to 45° in automatic.
• tangential slots: this function allows the operator to machine in automatic two or more UNI 7515-76 tangential slots of any width.
The machine is supplied with an electro-pump for the cooling system with a 130 l/min capacity and a metal housing containing the automatic pumps which can be programmed for managing the lubrication system used for greasing the ram, tables and head gears.
