2. INSTRUCTION
2.1 Description of machine design and construction
The basic machine consists of the Machine bed, Table, The bridge, Saddle, Spindle
Carrier, Dual hydraulic counter balance system and Auto tool changing system.
(Refer to Figure 2-1). All of which are designed to give high precision for long term
and heavy duty cutting performance over many years of machining operation. All of
which are described as below:

Figure 2-1Over View of SP type Machine layout
The main components of the machine are as below:
1. Tool magazine 12. Chip and coolant through
2. Magazine sheet metal 13. Y axial way cover
3. Magazine operator door 14. Carriage
4. ATC operation panel 15. X axial way telescopic cover
The machine bed is the foundation of the machining center structure. In addition to
providing rigidity and support for the sliding members, machine alignment is
maintained through the precision leveling of this structure.
2.1.2 The bridge
The bridge is made of one piece, which means columns and beam in one piece.
The thick walls and reinforcement ribs give the machining unsurpassed rigidity and
prevent any bending or twisting that may affect machining accuracy. The bridge is
bolted to the side of the machine bed. The upper linear way bearing is located 75
mm (2.9") behind the lower linear bearing. This step design greatly reduces
headstock overhang for added stability and helps maintain machining accuracy
during heavy cutting operations. The column is bolted to the side of the table base
to ensure the best accuracy alignment and squareness and to allow for maximum
rigidity. The double column construction supports the cutting load symmetrically;
thus bending movement and thermal deflection is minimized.
AWEA SP/LP Series Manual - Chapter 2. INSTRUCTION 2-2
2.1.3 The table
The largest table size not only allows for the machining of large parts but also
increases the productivity of small to medium sized parts as they can be set up and
processed at one time. The wide distance between the columns all allows for extra
clearance for larger work pieces.
2.1.4 The spindle head
The large front bearing to assure efficient power transmission to the spindle nose
and to enable heavy duty machining supports the spindle. For rigidity, a
square-shaped cross section headstock was designed. In addition, with only 90 mm
from the spindle centerline to Z axis, so rigidity is unsurpassed. A floating hydraulic
cylinder keeps the spindle bearing from being pushed during tool change cycle.
This assured long term machine accuracy and spindle life. The counter-balance
system for the headstock consists of two hydraulic cylinders, which are arranged to
perfectly balance the distribution of the weight of the headstock. The twin hydraulic
cylinders are symmetrically placed to ensure equal lading to the way area and to
maintain sensitivity and accuracy to the cutting area.
The spindle temperature is kept constant by use of oil recirculating heat exchanger,
which reduces heat generation. Harmonized temperature between spindle head
and machine body assures minimum spindle expansion at high speeds rotation in
long time continuous use.

AWEA
2.1.5 The feed system
A custom designed safety device is used on all feed systems to protect the machine
from damage caused by accidental, incorrect programming or accidental operator
error. If tool head interference occurs, a unique torque limiter clutch protects the
machine from major damage. Operations are then restored quickly and easily with
a simple manual realignment of the clutch. Use of low friction linear bearing (X and
Y axes) and Turcite B (Z axis) which has outstanding vibration dampening
characteristics, This allows for high efficiency, high stability, high accuracy for long
term machining and machine life.
The guide ways and ball screw are automatically lubricated. The lubricant is
collected in a reservoir. So that the area keep clean and also extends the life of the
coolant. The entire guide way is fully covered by telescopic covers and coolant
recovery is ensured. Build-in spiral chip conveyor and flood coolant flushing
minimized cleaning time.
2.1.6 The ATC and Magazine
AWEA SP/LP Series Manual - Chapter 2. INSTRUCTION 2-3
Unique ATC assures safe and easy tool storage and construction assures
interference free work setting and trouble-free operation. A standard magazine can
store 32 tools (60 option) of maximum size Φ125 mm X 350 mm ( Φ50" X 13.8")
and weight 20 kg (44 LB) ATC time, tool to tool : 8 seconds. Tools are always
protected from coolant, chips and dust by the automatic tool magazine door. The
door is automatically opened and closed by program command when changing
tools.
Especially design lock pin mechanisms are used to prevent the gripper failure while
the arm is rotating. A unique hydra-pneumatic cylinder is used to limit the transfer
force, which prevents damage if any malfunction occurs.
Microcomputer controlled random pot coding assures tool selection from magazine
in the shortest bi-direction tool path. The control p
the front side of the cabinet along with the foot release switch. The operator can
manually exchange tools with ease.

2.2 Coordination
Machining centers use the right-hand co-ordinate system to describe the
relationship of the axes. This relationship is in accordance with E.I.A. RS-267-A and
I.S.O. R841 Axis and Motion Nomenclature. The right-hand co-ordinate system
also establishes the direction of cutter motion with respect to the workpiece. The
programming exercise depends on the programmer visualizing the workpiece to be
fixed, and that the cutter does all the moving, (theoretical cutter motion). It is also
essential that the programmer view the workpiece from the normal operator
position, looking through the tool from the machine spindle. A theoretical cutter
motions to the back of current position in the Y axis origin which is created by a
similar movement of the table to the front of current position.

CAUTION
CAUTION
To prevent damage to control, machine tool or drives during shut down, follow the
Power-Down procedure listed below:
A. Establish a condition that ensures that the machine tool will not be damaged
when control is shutdown. Ideally, establish an end-of-program condition with
all axes at Home position. If this can not be accomplished, a cycle stop is
adequate, but try to position the axes clear of the workpieces.
B. Press Emergency Stop push-button. If rotating, spindle will dynamically brake
to a stop. Any axis motion will also cease. Power is removed from axes drive
motors and spindle driving motor, thus disabling axes and spindle.
C. Press Power OFF push-button.
D. Turn disconnect switch OFF and turn Air switch OFF.
Note: The machine is placed in E-Stop before the control is turned OFF is to
remove power in two distinct steps; first from the drive motor, then from the drives.
Removing all power at once can damage the machine.
All personnel must know the location of
Emergency Stop buttons and how to use them in
case of Emergency.
‧ALWAYS lock the Main Switch by locker to protect
unauthorized personnel.
