on the situation. In any case, important information that must always be observed is described.
DANGER
Not applicable in this manual.
WARNING
1. Items related to operation
If the operation start position is set in a block which is in the middle of the program and
the program is started, the program before the set block is not executed. Please
confirm that G and F modal and coordinate values are appropriate. If there are
coordinate system shift commands or M, S, T and B commands before the block set as
the start position, carry out the required commands using the MDI, etc. If the program is
run from the set block without carrying out these operations, there is a danger of
interference with the machine or of machine operation at an unexpected speed, which
may result in breakage of tools or machine tool or may cause damage to the operators.
Under the constant surface speed control (during G96 modal), if the axis targeted for
the constant surface speed control moves toward the spindle center, the spindle
rotation speed will increase and may exceed the allowable speed of the workpiece or
chuck, etc. In this case, the workpiece, etc. may jump out during machining, which
may result in breakage of tools or machine tool or may cause damage to the
operators.
1. Items related to product and manual
For items described as "Restrictions" or "Usable State" in this manual, the instruction
manual issued by the machine tool builder takes precedence over this manual.
Items not described in this manual must be interpreted as "not possible".
This manual is written on the assumption that all option functions are added. Confirm
with the specifications issued by the machine tool builder before starting use.
Refer to the Instruction Manual issued by each machine tool builder for details on
each machine tool.
Some screens and functions may differ depending on the NC system (or its version),
and some functions may not be possible. Please confirm the specifications before
use.
CAUTION
(Continued on next page)
2. Items related to installation and assembly
Ground the signal cables to ensure stable system operation. Also ground the NC unit
main frame, power distribution panel and machine to one point, so they all have the
same potential.
3. Items related to preparation before use
Always set the stored stroke limit. Failure to set this could result in collision with the
machine end.
Always turn the power OFF before connecting/disconnecting the I/O device cable.
Failure to do so could damage the I/O device and NC unit.
4. Items related to screen operation
NAVI MILL uses the following variables in order to operate the NC program.
NC program mode Variables used by NAVI MILL
User macro mode #150 to #179
MTB macro mode #450 to #479
When NC program mode is user macro mode, do not use common variables. If those
variables are written over, malfunction will be resulted. If mistakenly written them over,
turn the NC power OFF after securing your safety. When the power is turned ON
again, the system recovers the data.
NC program mode is specified on the Preferences screen.
When either "TOOL REG No." or "HOLE CYCLE" is input in the hole drilling screen,
the feedrate and spindle speed are automatically determined using the data in the tool
file screen and the cutting condition file screen. In the same way, when "TOOL REG
No." is input in the face cutting screen, the contour cutting screen and the pocket
screen, the feedrate and spindle speed are automatically determined. Note that the
feedrate and spindle speed of each process determined once will not be changed by
changing the data in the tool file screen and the cutting condition file screen.
CAUTION
5. Items related to operation
Stay out of the moveable range of the machine during automatic operation. During
rotation, keep hands, feet and face away from the spindle.
Carry out dry operation before actually machining, and confirm the machining program,
tool offset and workpiece coordinate system offset.
If the operation start position is set from a block in the program and the program is
started, the program before the set block is not executed. If there are coordinate
system shift commands or M, S, T, and B commands before the block set as the
starting position, carry out the required commands using the MDI, etc. There is a
danger of interference with the machine if the operation is started from the set starting
position block without carrying out these operations.
Program so the mirror image function is turned ON/OFF at the mirror image center.
The mirror image center will deviate if the function is turned ON/OFF at a position
other than the mirror image center.
(Continued on next page)
6. Items related to faults and abnormalities
If the battery low warning is issued, save the machining programs, tool data and
parameters in an input/output device, and then replace the battery. When the battery
alarm is issued, the machining programs, tool data and parameters may be destroyed.
Reload the data after replacing the battery.
If the axis overruns or emits an abnormal noise, immediately press the emergency
stop button and stop the axis movement.
7. Items related to maintenance
Incorrect connections may damage the devices, so connect the cables to the
specified connectors.
Do not apply voltages other than those indicated according to specification on the
connector. Doing so may lead to destruction or damage.
Do not connect or disconnect the connection cables between each unit while the
power is ON.
Do not connect or disconnect the PCBs while the power is ON.
Do not connect the cable by pulling on the cable wire.
Do not short circuit, charge, overheat, incinerate or disassemble the battery.
Dispose the spent battery according to local laws.
Dispose the spent cooling fan according to local laws.
Do not replace the control unit while the power is ON.
Do not replace the operation panel I/O unit while the power is ON.
Do not replace the control section power supply PCB while the power is ON.
Do not replace the expansion PCB while the power is ON.
Do not replace the memory cassette while the power is ON.
Do not replace the cooling fan while the power is ON.
Do not replace the battery while the power is ON.
Be careful that metal cutting chips, etc., do not come into contact with the connector
contacts of the memory cassette.
Do not replace the high-speed program server unit while the power is ON.
