machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

Additional Safety for CNC Mills/Lathes
You can be seriously injured or killed by getting clothing, jewelry, or long hair entangled with
rotating cutter/spindle. You can be severely cut or have fingers amputated from contact with
rotating cutters. You can be blinded or struck by broken cutting tools, metal chips, workpieces,
or adjustment tools thrown from the rotating spindle with great force. To reduce your risk of
serious injury when operating this machine, completely heed and understand the following:
UNDERSTAND ALL CONTROLS. Make sure
you understand the function and proper use of all
controls before starting. This will help you avoid
making mistakes that result in serious injury.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. DO NOT wear
loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back
long hair. Keep all guards in place and secure.
Always allow spindle to stop on its own. DO NOT
stop spindle using your hand or any other object.
EYE INJURIES. Operator and bystanders MUST
wear ANSI-approved safety glasses to help protect eyes from thrown metal shards and chips.
USE CORRECT SPINDLE SPEED. Follow recommended speeds and feeds for each size and
type of cutting tool. This helps avoid tool breakage
during operation and ensures best cutting results.
INSPECT CUTTING TOOL. Inspect cutting tools
for sharpness, chips, or cracks before each use.
Replace dull, chipped, or cracked cutting tools
immediately.
UNATTENDED MACHINE. Operator MUST be
present to immediately stop machine in case of
malfunction to prevent injury to bystanders and
machine damage.
POWER DISRUPTION. In event of power outage
during operation, turn spindle switch OFF to avoid
a possible sudden startup once power is restored.
SECURE WORKPIECE TO TABLE. Clamp workpiece to table or secure in a vise mounted to table,
so workpiece cannot unexpectedly shift or spin
during operation. NEVER hold workpiece by hand
during operation.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. To reduce risk of
electrocution or injury from unexpected startup,
make sure mill/drill is turned OFF, disconnected
from power, and all moving parts have come to
a complete stop before changing cutting tools or
starting any inspection, adjustment, or maintenance procedure.
CLEAN MACHINE SAFELY. Metal chips or shavings can be razor sharp. DO NOT clear chips
by hand or compressed air that can force chips
farther into machine—use a brush or vacuum
instead. Never clear chips while spindle is turning.
PROPERLY MAINTAIN MACHINE.Keep
machine in proper working condition to help
ensure that it functions safely and all guards and
other components work as intended. Perform routine inspections and all necessary maintenance.
Never operate machine with damaged or worn
parts that can break or result in unexpected movement during operation.

WARNING!
When chipping magnesia materials (aluminum-/magnesium alloys), spontaneously
inflammable or explosive particles (powder, dust, chips) might be generated, which
might cause a fire and/or explosion.
Magnesium is a dangerous material. In case of a fire with magnesium, only use
appropriate and admitted extinguishing agents. Never extinguish using water. If
burning magnesium is extinguished with water, this might lead to dangerous reactions
(hydrogen gas). Water would be decomposed in its components hydrogen (H) and
oxygen (O).
Only the following extinguishing agents are permissible:
solid extinguishing agent of fire class D (fires involving metals)
dry covering salts for magnesium
a mixture of sand and cast chips

1.14.1 Using lifting equipment
WARNING!
The use of unstable lifting and load suspension equipment that might break under load
can cause severe injuries or even death. Observe the accident prevention regulations
issued by your Employers Liability Insurance Association or other supervisory
authorities responsible for your company.
Check that the lifting and load-suspension equipment are of sufficient load-bearing
capability and are in perfect condition.
Fasten the loads carefully.
Never walk under suspended loads!
1.14.2 Mechanical maintenance work
Remove or install protection safety devices before starting or after completing any maintenance work; this include:
If you remove protective or safety devices, re-fit them immediately after the completing the
work.
Check if they are working properly!
1.15 Unattended Operation
CNC machines are designed for unattended operation. However, it may not be safe to let your
machining process run unmonitored. As it is the shop owner’s responsibility to set up the
machine safely and use best practice machining techniques, it is also their responsibility to
manage the progress of these methods. The machining process must be monitored to prevent
damage in case of a hazardous situation.
For example, if there is a risk of fire due to the machined material, an appropriate fire suppression system must be installed to reduce the risk of harm to personnel, equipment and the building. Have a specialist supplier install monitoring tools, before allowing machines to run
unattended.
It is especially important to select monitoring equipment that can immediately perform an appropriate action without human intervention to prevent an accident, should a problem be detected.
1.16 Accident report
Inform your supervisors immediately in the event of accidents, possible sources of danger
and any actions which almost led to an accident (near misses).
There are many possible causes for "near misses".
The sooner they are notified, the quicker the causes can be eliminated.
INFORMATION
We provide information about the specific dangers when working with and on the CNC machine
in the descriptions for these types of work.
1.17 Electrical system
Have the machine and/or the electric equipment checked regularly. Immediately eliminate all
defects such as loose connections, defective wires, etc.
-20-
Model G0876 (Mfd. Since 12/22)
A second person must be present during work on live components to disconnect the power in
the event of an emergency. Disconnect the machine immediately if there is a malfunction in the
in case of failure of the power supply!
The operator of the machine must ensure that the electrical systems and operating equipment
are inspected with regards to their proper condition, namely,
by a qualified electrician or under the supervision and direction of a qualified electrician,
prior to initial commissioning and after modifications or repairs, prior to recommissioning
and at certain intervals.
The deadlines must be set so that arising, foreseeable defects can be detected in a timely manner.
The relevant electro-technical rules must be followed during the inspection.
The inspection prior to initial commissioning is not required if the operator receives confirmation from the manufacturer or installer that the electrical systems and operating equipment comply with the accident prevention regulations, see conformity declaration.
Permanently installed electrical systems and operating equipment are considered constantly
monitored if they are continually serviced by qualified electricians and inspected by means of
measurements in the scope of operation (e.g. monitoring the insulation resistance).
1.18 Inspection deadlines
Define and document the inspection deadlines for the machine.
1.19 Clamping devices for workpieces and tools
ATTENTION!
Attention when taking over existing clamping devices. Pleased thoroughly check that
the clamping device is appropriate for your CNC machine.

POWER SUPPLY
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

not properly grounded
and connected to power
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

Anchored assembly
Use the anchored assembly in order to attain a firm connection to the ground. An anchored
assembly is always reasonable if parts are manufactured to the maximum capacity of the CNC
machine.
ATTENTION!
An insufficient rigidity of the substructure leads to superposition of vibrations between
the CNC machine and the substructure (natural frequency of the components). Critical
speeds and moves in the axis with displeasing vibrations are rapidly achieved in case of
insufficient rigidity of the whole system and will lead to bad milling results.
Check the correct alignment of the machine after a few days of usage.
3.3.4 Corrosion protection
A corrosion protection is applied on the machine table and on the guiding surfaces for trans-
port and storage. Remove the anti-corrosive agent from the CNC machine before first commissioning. Therefore, we recommend you to use paraffin.
Model G0876 (Mfd. Since 12/22)
-27-
3.3.5Electrical connection
Check the fusing (fuse) of your electrical supply according to the technical instructions
regarding the total connected power of the milling machine.
Firmly connect the machine.
CAUTION!
Install the connection cable of the machine in such a way that people will not stumble
over it.
Please verify if the type of current, voltage and protection fuse correspond to the values specified. A protective earth ground wire connection must be available.
With an internal EMC filter the leakage current of the frequency converter of milling spindle is
greater than 3.5 mA. We ask for due attention while executing machine tests within
the framework of industrial safety guidelines.
ATTENTION!
When delivered the machine is equipped with a plug for electrical connection. It only
serves for acceptance and test purposes. In order to operate the machine it is necessary
to remove this plug and to connect the machine directly with a power supply.
Firmly connect the CNC machine to the terminal box. It is not allowed to connect the machine
using a standard 16A CEE plug, since the stray current of the frequency converter is exceeding the admissible value of 3.5mA.
ATTENTION!
Depending on the quality of the network, there is a risk of machine malfunctions under
extreme conditions. If necessary and in order to exclude retroactive effects on the
internal power supply system, the operator should install a line filter on the machine.
Therefore, at workplaces with lots of powerful consumers, it might also be necessary to
use a system for network compensation. Please consult your electricity supplier
regarding this.
ATTENTION!
Frequency converters (drive regulators) might trigger the Fl circuit breaker of your
electrical supply. In order to avoid malfunction, an Fl circuit breaker switch sensitive to
pulse current or to universal current may be required.
ATTENTION!
Ensure that all 3 phases (L1, L2, L3) and the ground wire are connected correctly.
The neutral conductor (N) of its power supply is not connected.
-28-
Model G0876 (Mfd. Since 12/22)
3.3.6Current in the Protective Earth Ground Wire
The degree of the leakage current in the protective earthing conductor depends on whether the
internal EMC filter in the Emerson M200 frequency converter is used for spindle rotation speed
control or not. The standard frequency converter is fitted with an internal EMC filter. Instructions
on how to remove the internal filter is in the converter manual.
With the EMC filter, the leakage current is 15.4 mA AC 230V 50Hz (1 phase supply, phase-
neutral power supply, neutral point earthed).
Without an EMC filter, the leakage current is <1.9 mA (phase-neutral power supply, neutral
point earthed).
Therefore, a fixed earth connection is required and the minimum cross section of the protective
earthing conductor must conform to local safety regulations for devices with high leakage current. This is achieved by providing a permanent fixed earthing connection with two independent conductors, each having a cross section the same as the power supply cord or greater. To
simplify this, the converter is provided with two earth terminals. Both earthing connections are
required to comply with the standard EN 61800-5-1.
Since a direct current may be caused by the frequency converter in the protective earthing conductor, if an upstream residual current device (ELCB / RCD) is required in the network, the following guidelines must be followed:
There are three common types of FI (ELCB / RCD):
AC - to detect AC fault currents
A - to detect AC fault currents and pulsating DC fault currents (provided the DC current
reaches zero at least once every half cycle).
B - to detect AC fault currents, pulsating DC fault currents and smooth DC residual currents.
Type AC should never be used in converters.
Type A can only be used for single-phase converters.
Type B must be used for 3-phase converters.
When using an external EMC filter, to avoid false error shutdowns, a time delay of at least 50
ms is required. The leakage current can exceed the threshold trigger value for an error shutdown if the phases are not switched on at the same time.
Line systems
The CNC milling machine is designed for TN and TT line systems with a grounded neutral
point.
Prohibited operation
Operation on TN line systems with grounded external conductors is prohibited.
Operation on TT line systems without grounded neutral points is prohibited.
Operation on IT line systems is not permitted. In an IT line system, all of the conductors are
insulated with respect to the PE protective conductor – or connected to the PE protective conductor through an impedance. Operation on an IT line system is not permitted.
Permissible line supplies
Operation on TN and TT line systems
TN line system
The TN line system in accordance with IEC 60364-1 (2005) transmits the PE conductor to the
installation via a conductor. Generally, in a TN line system the neutral point is grounded There
are versions of a TN line supply with a grounded line the conductor, e.g. with grounded L1.
A TN line system can transfer the neutral conductor N and the PE protective conductor either
separately or combined.
Model G0876 (Mfd. Since 12/22)
-29-
TT system
In a TT line system, the transformer grounding and the installation grounding are independent
of one another. There are TT line supplies where the neutral conductor N is either transferred –
or not.
3.3.7 Connection compressed air supply

4General information about CNC
4.1Compensation of geometry
It is necessary to be able to measure any currently actual position of the CNC-controlled axis in
order to perform tool moves on workpieces.The measured value is related to a machine fixed
zero position and is compared to the target position which is predefined by the programs.
Required knowledge:
coordinate systems of the machine and workpiece
reference points of the machine, tool and workpiece
type of distance measurement
options of dimensioning and dimension compensation
Basics:
For chip removal relative moves between the tool and the workpiece are required. For programming all moves are related to the resting workpiece.
4.2Coordinate systems on CNC-machine tools
Types of coordinate systems
Coordinate systems allow the exact description of all points on a working plane, respectively in
an area.
Generally they are divided into
Cartesian coordinate system and
the polar coordinate system
4.2.1 Cartesian coordinate system
A Cartesian coordinate system also called a rectangular coordinate system possesses two
coordinate axes (two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system) or also three coordinate axes
(three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system) which are perpendicular to one another in
order to exactly describe the points.
On a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, e.g. on the X, Y-coordinate system, each
point is clearly defined on the plane by indicating the coordinates (X,Y).
The distance from the Y-axis is called the X-coordinate and the distance from the X-axis is
called Y-coordinate. Those coordinates may possess positive or negative algebraic signs.
The three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is required to display and determine the
position of special workpieces, e.g. milling parts.
In order to clearly describe a point in the space, three coordinates are required which are
named according to the corresponding axes X-, Y- or Z-coordinates.
Such three-dimensional coordinate systems with positive and negative areas on the coordinate
axis allow the exact description of any locations, e.g. in the working area of a milling machine,
independent from where the zero point of the workpiece is set.
-36-
Model G0876 (Mfd. Since 12/22)
4.2.2 Polar coordinate system
In the Cartesian coordinate system a point is described by e.g. its X- and Y-coordinate. For
rotation-symmetric outlines, e.g. circular drilling images the required coordinates can only be
calculated with considerable effort.
In the polar coordinate system a point is described by means of its distance (radius r) to the
coordinate origin and its angle (a) to the defined axis. The angle (a) is related to the X-axis of
the X, Y coordinate system. In opposite direction it is negative.
4.2.3 Machine coordinate system
The machine coordinate system of the CNC machine tool is determined by the manufacturer. It
cannot be changed. The position of the origin point for the machine coordinate system, also
called machine zero point cannot be changed.
Any tool moves are generally defined in a standardized, right-handed coordinate system.
Turns from +X to +Y are created in +Z direction, which result in a right-handed screw.
Z-axis:
According to the standard it is
equal to the working spindle or
continues in positive direction
starting from the workpiece.For
milling it continues directed to the
spindle perpendicular on the
clamping surface (only for perpendicular milling machines) for several spindles one main spindle is
determined.
X-axis:
Continues horizontally and parallel to the clamping surface
for vertical Z-axis: +X to the right
for horizontal Z-axis: +X to the left
.
Img.4-1:Vertical Z-axis
Y-axis:
At a right angle to the Z- and X- axis in a way that a right-handed coordinate system is resulting
4.2.4 Workpiece coordinate system
The workpiece coordinate system is determined by the programmer. It can be changed. The
location of the origin point for this workpiece coordinate system, also called workpiece origin
point is generally user-defined.

4.3NC mathematics
4.3.1 Basics of the coordinate calculation
For the CNC programming the corresponding points of the outline which is to be machined
need to be entered. In most cases if the drawing is suitable for NC purposes, it is possible to
directly transfer these coordinate points from the drawing. In some cases it may be necessary
to calculate the coordinates.
In the frame of the automation those coordinates are calculated by an NC programming system at external working places and the data are directly transferred to the machine. Therefore,
in most cases the NC programming is directly performed on the product (3D pattern) in the construction or in the process engineering department.
For the computer-aided programming the switch and path information are entered over the keyboard in the dialogue using the menu technique.
4.3.2 Parameters of a triangle
In order to calculate the missing coordinates the relations valid for a triangle are very useful.
There are several options to describe a triangle. Some of the following parameters e.g. corners,
angles or sides are being used.
4.3.3 Angle on a triangle
The angles on a triangle determine the type of triangle. Depending on the size of the individual
angles we distinguish between acute-angle, obtuse angle or rectangular triangles.
On triangles the following relation is applied:
the sum of the angles a, b and g in a triangle always amounts to 180°.
a + b + g = 180°
If two angles are known it is possible to determine the third unknown angle by means of this formula.
Rectangular triangle
The rectangular triangle has a special meaning in the analytic geometry as the sides of such a
triangle are having a definite mathematic relation to one another.
On a rectangular triangle the single sides are specially named.
The longest side is located opposite to the right angle and is named hypotenuse.
The two sides of the triangle which are forming the right angle are named cathetus.
The side opposite the angle a is named opposite leg.
The side adjacent to the angle a is named adjacent leg.
On a rectangular triangle the right angle is described by an quarter circle and a point in the
angle.
In a rectangular triangle it applies:
In a rectangular triangle you can calculate the missing leg if the other leg lengths are known. To
do so, use the Pythagorean theorem.

Model G0876 (Mfd. Since 12/22)
The Greek Pythagoras (from about 580 to 496 before Jesus Christ) had been the first person to
prove the following mathematic relation which had later on been named the Pythagorean the-
a
b
orem.
The sum of the cathetus square is equal to the hypotenuse square and expressed as a
equation:
a² + b² = c²
c
4.4Trigonometric functions
The trigonometric functions describe the relations between the angles and the sides of a rectangular triangle. With the help of these trigonometric functions it is possible to calculate
unknown leg lengths with an unknown angle and a known leg. It is depending on which side
and which angle are known in order to choose the appropriate trigonometric function e.g. the
sinus function, the cosine function or the tangent function.
For the calculation of unknown legs the corresponding equation needs to be transformed as
described in the following example:
Known are: the angle and the length of the adjacent leg
Looking for: the length of the opposite leg
It applies: tan alpha = opposite leg / adjacent leg
The results is:
opposite leg = adjacent leg x tan alpha

protection levels control different access rights.
The control system delivered from SIEMENS is set by default to the lowest protection level 7
(without password).
If the password is no longer known, the control system must be reinitialized with default
machine data. All passwords are then reset to default passwords for this software release.
ATTENTION!
Before you boot the control system with default machine data, make sure that you
havebacked up your data; otherwise, all data is lost after rebooting with the default

6.4Programming
For further working steps please proceed as described in the operating instructions "Part programming, system, programming and cycles“ for SINUMERIK 808D.
Manual resp. part programming:
For this kind of programming, the programs must be created manually and entered in the control unit. The direct programming in the DIN-Code is a complex method which requires lots of
skills. Nowadays this task is mostly taken over by CAD/CAM systems which directly create an
operating program using a graphical user interface.
Automatic programming:
Construction data are transmitted (semi-) automatically to an executable program by means of
the CAD/CAM program (for instance a 3D-CAD program including downstream co-processor).
For this kind of programming, a 3D model is designed using a PC. The motion-sequence of the
machine is calculated by means of an operating sequence which is predefined by the user.
These programs access the tool data base which includes all tool parameters (speed, feed,
diameter, etc.). Due to this systematic program structure, the user is able to create a complete
program in a short period of time without having any knowledge of the individual program commands and their syntax.

6.9Central lubrication system
The CNC machine is equipped with a central lubrication system.
The lubricating system is used to maintain an oil film on the slideways, the bearings, the ledges
and the ball screws and to reduce their wear.
In case of a failure or a fault in the central lubricating system, a stick-slip effect may occur. This
effect describes the jerky sliding of solid bodies moving opposite one another. For instance:
creaking doors and rattling windscreen wipers.
6.10Data interfaces and current collection
When connecting data interfaces make sure that the data cable runs to the control unit interface
via the shortest possible distance. The cable routing can be conducted along the measuring
system lines. However the cable in the switch cabinet must never be routed near the drive units
of the NC axis or the frequency converter itself. Electromagnetic radiation causes errors during
data transfer (EMC problems).
The control is equipped with the following data interfaces.
X130 Ethernet port (RJ45 connector, only 808D ADVANCED)
USB connection
Connection for power supply
6.11 Selecting the speed
The correct speed is an important factor for milling. The speed determines the cutting speed by
which the cutting edges cut the material. By selecting the correct cutting speed, the service life
of the tool is increased and the working result is optimized.
The optimum cutting speed mainly depends on the material and on the material of the tool. With
tools (milling cutters) made of hard metal or ceramic insert it is possible to work with higher
speeds than with tools made of high-alloy high speed steel (HSS). You will achieve the optimal
cutting speed by selecting the correct rotation speed.
In order to determine the correct cutting speed for your tool and for the material to be cut you
may refer to the following standard values or a table reference book.
The required speed is calculated as follows:
------------
n
=
d
-1
n = speed in min
V = cutting speed in m/min (meter per minute)
d = tool diameter in m (Meter)
(revolutions per minute)

The above mentioned indications are standard values. In some cases it may be advanta-
geous to increase or decrease these values.
When drilling a cooling or lubricating agent should be used.
For stainless materials (e.g. VA – or NIRO steel sheets) do not center as the material would
compact and the drill bit will become rapidly blunt.
The workpieces need to be tensed in flexibly and stably (vice, screw clamp).
INFORMATION
Friction during the cutting process causes high temperatures at the cutting edge of the tool. The
tool should be cooled during the milling process. By cooling with an appropriate coolant lubricant you will achieve a better working result and longer durability of the tool.
INFORMATION
Use a water-soluble and non-pollutant emulsion as a cooling agent. This can be acquired from
authorised distributors.
Make sure that the cooling agent is properly retrieved. Respect the environment when disposing of any lubricants and coolants. Follow the manufacturer’s disposal instructions.
INFORMATION
The CNC milling machine is lacquered with a one-component paint. Observe this fact when
selecting your cooling lubricant.
