Configuration & installation
The Rotoclear S3 is available in two versions: adhesive version and screw version.
Adhesive version
In the adhesive version, a adhesive flange is glued to the inside of the machine window. The unit is then mounted onto this firmly adhesive flange.
Typical applications – adhesive version
- The adhesive version of the Rotoclear S3 is our all-rounder.
- Can be used on laminated safety glass or polycarbonate windows.
- Suitable for milling machines, lathes, and mill-turn centers (DIN EN 12417 and DIN EN ISO 23125)
Advantages – adhesive version
Although slightly more expensive than the screw version, the adhesive version offers a number of benefits:
No drilling required – ideal for laminated safety glass
Can be installed vertically – no need to remove the machine window
Easy and safe adhesive process – no specially trained staff required
Complete adhesive accessories included in the delivery scope
Installation steps – adhesive version
Installation may vary slightly depending on the window material (just polycarbonate or laminated safety glass) - here are the steps summarized for both variations.
- Define the position and orientation of the Rotoclear S3 on the machine window
- Thoroughly clean and degrease the inside of the window
- Mark the exact position
- Apply adhesive template (polycarbonate only) and remove protective film from the ring area
- Apply primer (polycarbonate only) and allow to air-dry
- Remove adhesive template (polycarbonate only)
- Position and firmly press on the adhesive flange
- Fill adhesive pockets with two-component adhesive
- Allow adhesive to cure (approx. 6 h)
- Mount and screw on the stator of the Rotoclear S3
- Clean the outside and apply the cover
- Connect power and, if required, sealing air

Screw version
With the screw-on version, a screw flange is inserted through drilled holes in the machine window. The device is then mounted on the screw flange from the inside
Typical applications – screw version
- Suitable only if the machine window can be drilled without problems
- Can be used exclusively on polycarbonate windows
- Designed only for milling machines
Advantages – screw version
In the right application area, the screw version offers these benefits:
More cost-effective than the adhesive version
No adhesive curing required – machine can be put back into operation faster
Vertical installation possible – no need to remove the window
All accessories required for the screw-on version installation process are included in the scope of delivery
Installation steps – screw version
Installation is somewhat faster than the adhesive version but requires precision. Extra care must be taken during drilling and clamping, as polycarbonate windows can be sensitive to stress or aging.
We recommend installation by qualified personnel. Please check for cracks or clouding and replace the machine window if necessary.
- Define the position and orientation of the Rotoclear S3 on the machine window
- Position and secure the drilling template on the outside of the machine window
- Drill the hole pattern into the polycarbonate window according to the template
- Thoroughly clean the inside of the machine window
- Insert the screw flange into the drilled holes from the outside
- Fasten the device on the inside
- Connect power and, if required, sealing air
