1.1 PRE-START CHECKING STEPS
1.1.1 OIL RESERVOIR Examine the oil levels. Both should be filled before the levels are one inch from the
bottom of the reservoir. The spindle oil reservoir may have oil in it fo r up to six months.
The way lube oil reservoir may run out of oil in one week.
1.1.2 AIR PRESSURE
NOTE
VMCs with linear way systems require grease. See the Maintenance Manual for specifications on the
way lube and the spindle oil.
Visually inspect the air pressure gauge to verify that it is set to at least 80-100 PSI. Air
is used to change belt ranges in the spindle, orient the spindle, activate the tool in-out
cylinder, and for the air blast during a tool change. The tool changer gauge should not
exceed 120 PSI.

Most new VMC models release water collected in the water reservoir automatically . It is
advisable to place an additional water trap in the air line going to the machine.
Replenish the flood coolant level to avoid running out of coolant during execution of the
program.

3.3.1 MANUAL TOOL LOADING AND UNLOADING
A tool can be manually loaded or unloaded into the spindle by using the TOOL IN/OUT
hard key.
1. The tool holder must be held in the left hand with the thumb and the first finger
grasping the holder below the “V” groove. No other fingers should have contact with
the holder or the tool in the holder. The area below the “V” groove is called the safe
zone. The safe zone is the only place where the tool holder should be held.
2. When unloading a tool from the spindle, grasp the tool in the safe zone and press
the TOOL IN/OUT hard key. Keep the TOOL IN/OUT hard key pressed until the
tool is completely out of the spindle.
When loading a tool into the spindle, grasp the tool in the safe zone and press the
TOOL IN/OUT hard key. Place the holder into the spindle after pressing the TOOL IN/
OUT hard key, not before. The keys on the nose of the spindle must fit into the key-
ways on the tool holder flange. Release the TOOL IN/OUT hard key to lock the tool into
the spindle.
NOTE
When loading a holder into the spindle, inspect the taper for chips and dents. Remove any chips or
dents from the taper with a flat stone.

FADAL MACHINING CENTERS
4.1 COORDINATE SYSTEMS
Machine coordinate system (MCS)
The machine coordinate system is based on the machine axes that are designated X1,
Y1, Z1, A1 and B1 in the actual value display. At the reference point (alignment
position) all machine axes = 0. Tool and pallet change positions are defined in MCS.
MCS
32 OFFSETS MAN_0124_R1
SIEMENS OPERATOR MANUAL
The Work Coordinate System (WCS)
The workpiece coordinate system is based on the MCS with offsets to shift the
workpiece to zero. Workpiece programming is done in WCS using the workpiece axes
designations X, Y, Z, A and B. The WCS includes all active offsets including the Base
Offset, Settable Work (Zero) Offset and the Tool Offset.
WCS
In the MANUAL operating mode it is possible to change between the WCS and MCS by
toggling the Act. Val. MCS soft key.
AUGUST 2005 OFFSETS 33
FADAL MACHINING CENTERS
4.2 OFFSETS The most commonly used offsets are the Base Offset, Zero (Work) Offset, and Tool Offset. These offsets are combined together to define the WCS relative to the MCS Machine Zero (Cold Start) position.
4.2.1 BASE OFFSET The Base Offset is always active unless G153 is programmed in the movement block
(non-modal command). The Base Offset can be set to zero. The Base Offset is used to
set the “Home” position relative to the Machine Zero. Based on the current axis position
the Base Offset can be calculated and entered into the CNC via the SET Base or
Measure Workpiece soft keys in the Manual screens (X, Y and Z only, no A or B). The
Base Offset can also be manually entered for all the axes via the Zero Offset screen.
4.2.2 ZERO OFFSET Zero Offsets (Fixture Offset) 1-8 (ZO1,ZO2,..., ZO8) are programmed via commands
G54 - G57 and G505 - G508, the active ZO (example ZO3) is displayed in the light blue
field below the axis actual value display. Based on the current axis position, Zero
Offsets can be calculated and entered into the CNC via the Measure Workpiece soft
keys in the main Manual screens (X, Y & Z only, no A and B). Zero Offsets can also be
entered manually for all axes via the Zero offset screen.
4.2.3 TOOL OFFSET The tool changer allows each tool with its own offset for tool length and diameter, and
tool wear settings for length and diameter. Tool Offsets for the active Tool number (e.g.
T3) are activated with the command D1, the offset is deactivated with the command D0.
The tool offset D1 is always activated as part of a tool change. Tool offset values for
both length and diameter based on measured values can be calculated and entered
into the CNC via the measure Tool screens in the main Manual screens. Tool offsets
can also be entered manually via the Tool List screen.

The point where the tools will be set, is called a gauge point. This is a common starting
position for all the tools. This is where the programmer has established the Z axis zero
position for the part program (not to be confused with Z zero at the MCS position).
To set the TLO (Tool Length Offset) manually:
1. Locate all tools specified for the program and load the tools into tool holders. Place
the holders close to the machine. Place the machine in the Manual Mode.
2. Load tool #1 into the spindle using the TOOL IN/OUT button.
3. Place a gauge block, of any available size, on top of the part.

5.1 FINDING MACHINE REFERENCE (COLD START)
The FADAL machine tool has software limits and does not contain position limit
switches. Therefore, the machine tool must be physically located at set alignment
marks. The Siemens control automatically powers on in the machine reference mode. It
is recommended that the machine be shut down at its axis alignment position to simplify
the Power On procedure.
To align each axis, place the machine in JOG:
1. Press the MPG hard key until the LED above the key is lit.
2. Find the alignment marks for each axis using the axis selector switch and the MPG.
3. Press the REF hard key button “reference point return”. Use the Axis selector
switch to select the desired axis.
Select the X axis then press + hard key button.
Select the Y axis then press + hard key button.
Select the Z axis then press + hard key button.
Select the A axis then press + hard key button.
Select the B axis then press + hard key button.
When each axis has completed finding the reference position this symbol will
appear to the left of the axis. Press the JOG, MPG or AUTO hard keys to exit the
Reference submode.
NOTE
In the reference mode the position display will indicate the actual position in WCS (X, Y, Z) or MCS
(X1, Y1, Z1). The ACT. VAL. MCS soft key can be used to toggle between the WCS and MCS
coordinate display.
