SPECIFICATIONS 3-3
a built-in AC motor. Direction of spindle rotation: When viewed from above the spindle, clockwise (CW) is the forward ro­tation direction and counterclockwise (CCW) is the reverse rotation direction. The cooling/lubrication method for the spindle differs depending on the spindle specifications.
Cooling Method Lubrication Method
Spindle core cooling/Jacket cooling Oil air lubrication
Table 3-2:
2. Feed Axis
The feed axis consists of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, and it is driven by the servomotor and ball screws.
3. Ta bl e
The table consists of the B-axis (inclined axis) and the C-axis (rotating axis), and it is driven by the DD motor. Each of the B-axis and C-axis includes a clamp mechanism.
4. Automatic Tool Changer (ATC)
Motion of the spindle to the tool change position of the tool magazine automatically changes the spindle-clamped tool with the tool in the tool magazine. The tool magazine has a disk type. A large capacity tool magazine is an option.
5. Temperature Controller
The temperature controller feeds cooling oil to the machine for absorbing the heat generated during the machining process.
6. Hydraulic Unit
The hydraulic unit is of a pressure accumulation type, supplying hydraulic oil at a constant pressure to the spindle.
7. Air Unit
The air unit performs cleaning and depressurization of the air supplied to the machine.
8. Chip Disposal Device/Cutting Fluid Supply Unit (Other than Graphite Specifications)
The cutting fluid supply unit discharges cutting fluid for cooling the workpiece and tool and for clean­ing the machining chamber. The collected chips are discharged outside the machine by the lift-up chip conveyor.
9. Dust Collector (Graphite Specifications)
The dust collector reduces the pressure inside of the machining chamber and collects airborne dust. Dust and chips will fall on both sides of the Y-axis cover and be discharged to the chip bucket. The collected dust is separated by a filter and collected in the dust car at the bottom of the dust collector.
10. Controller
The NC unit executes NC programs and controls the feed axis servomotor and spindle drive motor. The machine controller (MTC) manages the tool data and workpiece data for performing overall con­trol of the machine.

6.3.4.1 Tool Handling Precautions
CAUTION!
When handling tools, wear protective gloves, and be careful to prevent injuries due to the tool tip edge. Be careful that the tool does not drop.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the tools immediately after machining because they may be hot.
CAUTION!
Pay attention to the orientation of the tool tip, orientation of the tool shank, and number of the gripper where the tool is inserted. If a tool is inserted into the wrong gripper or is inserted in the wrong orientation, the machine may be damaged, or a tool may break and fly out, resulting in injury or another accident.
CAUTION!
Use tools that satisfy the tool limits. If a tool is used that exceeds the limits, the machine may be damaged or break down, or a tool may break and fly out, resulting in injury or an­other accident.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the bladed tools are firmly secured in the tool shank.
NOTICE! Use tools and tool shanks that are compatible with the machine specifications.
NOTICE! Check that there is no dust adhering to the shank, flange end face, or gripper.
NOTICE! Ensure a lubrication pipe is installed to all tools regardless of whether through-spindle
coolant is provided to them. If through-spindle coolant is accidentally discharged, cutting fluid will become mixed in­side the spindle, which could cause premature breakdown of the spindle. No lubrication pipe is required for the shank of the automatic workpiece measuring unit (it cannot be attached).
NOTICE! When attaching a lubrication pipe to a tool shank, apply Locktite adhesive to the threads
so that the lubrication pipe does not become loose.

- When starting in synchronization with the rotation of the spindle during automat­ic operation Press the [Machining Chamber Flush Coolant Sync] button on the function screen (button lit) or command the M1787 using the M code. To cancel the synchronization, either press [Machining Chamber Flush Coolant Sync] again (button off) or command M1786 with M code.
REMARK The discharge cycle of machining chamber flush coolant is terrace
cleaning coolant (15 seconds), table side cleaning coolant (15 sec­onds), base coolant (15 seconds), and coolant stop (15 seconds).
REMARK The coolant discharge time can be changed by setting the machine
parameter No. 07271 and the coolant stop time can be changed by setting the machine parameter No. 07937.

BASIC OPERATION 6-25
Function Name Function Description
Lift-up chip conveyor
In normal cases, the lift-up chip conveyor performs forward start and stop operation in coordination with machining (discharge of cutting fluid).
To operate manually for maintenance or other purposes, use the procedure below to start and stop operation.
1. Press the “Manual Intervention” switch on the lift-up chip conveyor operation panel to turn on Manual Intervention mode.
2. Run in the forward or reverse direction.
- To run in the forward direction, press the “Forward Rotation Start” switch. To stop, press the “Forward Rotation Start” switch again.
- To run in the reverse direction, press the “Reverse Rotation Start” switch. The conveyor is operated while the switch is held down, and it stops when the switch is released.
3. Press the “Manual Intervention” switch to turn off Manual Intervention mode.
WARNING!
Be careful because the lift-up chip conveyor may start operation im­mediately after Manual Intervention mode is turned off.
REMARK If the lift-up chip conveyor is stopped for 30 seconds or longer, an
alarm occurs, and the machine comes to a stop. The machine pa­rameter No. 07024 setting can be used to disable issuing of an alarm.
Coolant pause When the coolant pause is turned on, the discharge of all cutting fluid is temporarily
stopped. When it is turned off, the supply of cutting fluid that was temporarily stopped is restarted. The coolant pause can be turned on and off using the switches on the main opera­tion panel, buttons on the Function screen, or M codes. To stop coolant using an M code, use M312. To restart the discharge of cutting fluid that was stopped by M312, use M313.
Coolant stop and pre-orientation
Through-spindle air
This is a function that performs the spindle orientation, the coolant stop, and the opening of the ATC shutter simultaneously with axis movement for reducing the ma­chining time. This function uses M319.
The through-spindle air is a function that discharges air from the tool tip for pre­venting the adhesion of chips to the workpiece and tool. The through-spindle air is started or stopped by the buttons on the Function screen or by M codes. To start using an M code, use M77. To stop, use M9 or M712. After the through-spindle air is started, if an M6 command is issued, the through-spindle air is automatically stopped. Then, the operation will not be started automatically.
REMARK For tools using the through-spindle, the through-spindle must be
enabled in the settings on the Tool Data screen beforehand.

6-26 BASIC OPERATION
Function Name Function Description
Through-spindle coolant
Through-spindle coolant is an option. Through-spindle coolant is discharges cutting fluid from the tool tip during machin­ing for cooling, lubricating, and cleaning the workpiece and tool. The through-spindle coolant is started and stopped by the buttons on the Function screen or by M codes. To start using an M code, use M26. To stop, use M9 or M795. After the through-spindle coolant is started, if an M6 command is issued, the through-spindle coolant is automatically stopped. Then, the operation will not be started automatically.
NOTICE! Frequent and repeated starting and stopping of the through-spin-
dle coolant can reduce the lifespan of the electromagnetic contac­tors, which can cause the motor circuit breaker to trip or cause premature breakdown of the pump. Either reduce the frequency of starts and stops as much as possible, or perform continuous operation.
REMARK For tools using the through-spindle, the through-spindle must be
enabled in the settings on the Tool Data screen beforehand.
Terrace cleaning coolant
Overhead shower coolant
REMARK After through-spindle coolant is stopped, the cutting fluid remain-
ing in the tool or spindle is drawn back (suction). The drawback time can be set for each tool in the Tool Data screen.
REMARK For precautions on the tools using through-spindle coolant, refer to
“6.3.4 Removing and Mounting Tools”.
The terrace cleaning coolant is a function that discharges cutting fluid to the terrace in the machining chamber for washing the oil pan. The terrace cleaning coolant starts/stops in conjunction with the base coolant. When operating manually, use the button on the function screen or M code to start/ stop. To start using an M code, use M887. To stop, use M886. However, terrace cleaning coolant that is started in coordination with machining cannot be stopped manually. If you do not want to coordinate the function with machining, cancel the setting of synchronization using machine parameter No. 07245.
The overhead shower coolant is an option. The overhead shower coolant is a function that discharges cutting fluid from the ceiling inside the machining chamber for cleaning the inside of the machining chamber and cooling the workpiece and tool. When manually operating overhead shower coolant, start or stop by the buttons on the Function screen or by M codes. To start using an M code, use M97. To stop, use M9 or M724.
NOTICE! When machining materials, discharge coolant from the overhead
shower. Chips will accumulate and may become an obstruction.
