AI Description

Capabilities

This Atlas horizontal slotting machine from Schlenker & Cie. is a precision tool for cutting slots, keyways, and grooves into metal workpieces. With an adjustable stroke length ranging from 20mm to 500mm, it handles both fine detail work and larger material removal tasks. The included original machine vise provides secure workpiece holding, essential for accurate cuts.

Industries & Uses

Small to mid-sized metal fabrication shops, tool and die makers, and maintenance departments rely on shapers for creating internal features that mills and lathes can't easily access. It's ideal for producing keyways in shafts, cutting internal grooves, and finishing slots in castings or forgings—work that's common in automotive, machinery, and general manufacturing.

What to Check When Buying

When evaluating this 1974 model, inspect the slideways and bearings for wear, as these directly affect precision and cut quality. Request maintenance records and test the stroke length adjustment mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Check the vise for alignment and clamping force. Ask about recent spindle service, coolant system condition, and whether the machine has been regularly used or idle for extended periods. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician is highly recommended for a machine of this age.
