Caution

Do not operate the machine with plenty of chip in the trough of chip conveyor.

3.2 Warming-up Operation of Spindle

Caution

It is important to keep status of bearing in good condition by lubrication, etc., to make the spindle rotate normally. Sudden rotation of the spindle may cause sticking of the bearings because of shortage of lubricating oil at the bearing section. To get the best performance of the spindle function by correct operation, warming-up operation as below-mentioned is necessary.

Warming-up operation for every starting (30 minutes)

[1] 10 minutes at 30% of the maximum spindle rotation [2] 10 minutes at 50% of the maximum spindle rotation [3] 10 minutes at 80% of the maximum spindle rotation

Conduct warming-up operation in the above order, [1], [2], [3]

1 - 15

3.3 Procedure of Zero Return

Manual zero return must be done after power turned on, to initiate the basic machine coordinate system.

Method 1 of zero return

1) Make a mode push button switch to “Feed”.

2) Press the [ZERO RETURN] key.

3) Move a tool head to zero point by rapid traverse (25% override). The tool head stops at zero point and a confirmation lamp of zero point of the axis turns on.

Method 2 of zero return

1) Make a mode to “Feed”.

2) If the X and Z axes locate near the zero point, move it opposite direction (Minus) from zero point about 100mm.

3) Press in the order of “X +” and “Z +” and the lamps of zero point turn on.

4) Release a finger from the switch after the lamp turned on.

Execute zero point return of each axis by the operations above.

Caution

1. Execute zero return of axis one by one for safety.

(At first, do it from X-axis.)

2. Pay attention of interference with the tailstock at the time of zero return.

3. 100% of rapid traverse override is effective after zero return is performed.

1 - 16

3.4 At the End of Operation

1) Clean up the machine. Stop the chip conveyor after all chips

carried out from the conveyor.

2) Confirm the machine stopped completely.

— In case of the handle feed —

1) Select the axis by the axis push button switch.

2) Fine feed can be done by the manual handle.

• When select 1/1: One division is

0.001mm

• When select 10/1: One division is

0.01mm

• When select 100/1: One division is

0.1mm

In case of the spindle indexing C axis, the unit becomes a degree.

4.2 Operating Method of Q-setter

A tool position compensating value can be get easily, since a tool position compensation is inputted automatically by touching a tool tip to the Q-setter.

In case of the turret rotates, a cursor changes automatically due to a tool face number correspond an offset number.

1) Confirm the zero return condition of the X and Z axes.

If confirmation lamp is not lit, execute manual zero return.

2) Make a mode to manual mode (Handle or feed).

3) Pull out the Q setter A screen changes to the offset screen

automatically and display the “Q-setter” and inform a ready of complete condition of preparation.

4) Call a tool compensation required. Make a mode to “Feed”.

1 - 20

5) Confirm a tool face on the turret and offset number.

A tool face selected at this moment is recognized by a cursor position.

Note) Set a wear compensating amount

zero, if it is not zero.

9) Execute a tool tip measurement by touching a tool tip to the sensor twice or so.

Confirm a tool compensation amount on the screen.

10) Retract a tool tip from the sensor to safety zone by handle feed. A safety zone is a position which is not interfered a tool and sensor even if the turret rotates.

11) Get a compensation amount for the other tool in turn as the same method.

OTHERS Reference In case of thread cutting tool

In case of thread cutting tool, a tool compensation value of Z value is obtained by the side of insert as described by Fig. 1 and 2, effective length of thread becomes short by “Width T” due to position of cutting edge is different. Therefore, get a tool compensation amount by the Q setter as Fig. 1 then execute incremental compensation input to minus side (In case of Fig. 2, plus side), so correct effective length of thread can be get as Fig. 3.

4.4 How to Shape Soft Jaw

In order to manufacture precision products of high commercial value, without flaws on workpiece, a soft jaw is formed. By forming a soft jaw matching with the chuck, cutting work can be performed safely and steadily thus the accuracy of processed goods will improve. For shaping a soft jaw, there are two methods; one is to utilize the simple soft jaw forming function, the other is to form one by manual operation.

4.4.1 Shaping by utilizing Simple Soft Jaw Forming Function

On the soft jaw forming screen, input necessary data of “Jaw form” and “Cutting conditions” according to the guiding message appears on the screen. By pressing the start button, the forming of a soft jaw is processed automatically.

(1) Operation

1) The part where a ring (core metal) is to be attached is processed and a ring is attached.

2) The tool used for a soft jaw forming is indexed at the cutting position.

3) On the screen of work coordinates system (General F4/WORK COORDINATES ), press the F6/SOFT JAW FORM key to get the

window screen for soft jaw forming.

4) Select either outside jaw forming or inside jaw forming by pressing the corresponding key F4/OUTSIDE JAW FORM or F5/INSIDE JAW FORM .

5) Input the data on the jaw shape and cutting conditions. For details, see paragraph (3) of this section.

6) Rotate the spindle in the manual mode and move the tool to the position of the end face of the jaw. Then press the F3/JAW END FACE SETTING key, and answering to a message “Jaw End Face Position Setting? Y-Yes or N-No”, input “Y” to effect the setting.

7) Press the F9/LOCUS CHECK key in the MDI mode and check the locus of the cutting program. When not in the MDI mode, a message is displayed with a request “Change the mode into MDI”.

During locus check, dry run and machine lock become effective, although the lamp in the operation panel does not light on.

Also, MST code is not outputted. Preset the coordinate system (tool tip position), when locus check is completed, also

at time of midway resetting. By turning “Single Block” ON, and pressing the PROGRAM [START] button, the locus

can be displayed per each block. To recheck the movement of the locus, press the F9/LOCUS CHECK key.

8) Move the tool away from the jaw end face in Z direction by about 5mm, and make positioning of the starting point of jaw cutting. For this positioning, the X axis position is arbitrary, but it is safer to set it within the range of the actual cutting diameter. (When moving the tool, take care not to have the tool interfered with other machine parts.)

9) In the MDI mode, press the start button and execute the soft jaw cutting program. Press the SOFT JAW FORMING COMPLETE key, when the soft jaw forming is

10) completed.

Answering the query whether terminating the process, input Y to complete the soft

jaw.)

E: Depth of the second step (If value 0 is set, the shape of jaw formed is a single step

jaw.) T: Taper amount of the gripping portion F: Necking depth G: The maximum amount of cutting margin (If value 0 is set, cutting proceeds to Z

direction in rough cutting (See Note 1). If value larger than 0 is set, copy cutting is

performed in rough cutting (See Note 1)) Ι: Setting of necking width (relieving width) J: Bolt position 1 K: Input the amount of the jaw protruding from the chuck diameter with +/- sign.

(based on the chuck diameter) Cutting speed, Revolution: The condition relevant to spindle revolution. Input appropriate

values either in cutting speed or revolution. Feed speed: The feed speed for rough an finish cutting. Cut-in amount: Cut-in amount in the rough cutting.

Caution

1) Before starting soft jaw forming, make jaw end face position setting. A warning is

issued, If locus check or soft jaw forming is executing without making the end face position setting.

2) Clamp the maximum spindle revolution during the soft jaw forming with the parameter

setting value (No.5156).

3) Attention should be paid to the tool tip shape, when executing copy cutting and

necking processing.

4) The maximum value of the margin (G) is the value where the margin is considered to

be uniform both directions of diameter and lengthwise. When the margin in two directions are different, the larger value should be taken as the maximum value of the margin for the setting.

5) Use decimal point, for inputting the value of dimensions.

6) When attaching a jaw, make sure that the jaw does not protrude beyond the outside

diameter of the chuck.

7) For jaws, always use the standard soft jaw.

8) When processing a thin workpiece, chucking pressure may be lowered for avoiding

deformation of the workpiece, In such cases, take care not to set the spindle revolution speed too high.

1) Search one word each and alter if after confirmation.

2) Alter words collectively (or after words continuously with display an altering condition). The words to be altered collectively are maximum 400,000 words.

A method to search a word is the same as the word search, words combined one character of alphabet (or “#” mark) and numerals becomes the number search as words showing the numeral value and recognize it with or without a decimal point. For example, of changing “X.1” to “X.5”, a row of characters such as “X0.1”, “X0.100”, “X00.10”, “X.1” or “X.100” which coincide with “X.1” as numeral value, become the object of alteration and change all to “X.5”. Also, if adding a “?” mark on the word to be changed as “X.1?” such as changing “X.1?” to

“X.5”, a row of characters “X.1” becomes the object of alteration, then “X1” becomes “X.5” and “X.100” becomes “X.500”, however, “X.01”, “X0.100” and “X00.10” does not have the row of

character “X.1” so it does not become an object of alteration.

Outline of operation
