SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
4291-E P-(i)
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The machine is equipped with safety devices which serve to protect personnel and the machine
itself from hazards arising from unforeseen accidents. However, operators must not rely exclusively
on these safety devices: they must also become fully familiar with the safety guidelines presented
below to ensure accident-free operation.
This instruction manual and the warning signs attached to the machine cover only those hazards
which Okuma can predict. Be aware that they do not cover all possible hazards.
1. Precautions Relating to Machine Installation
(1) Install the machine at a site where the following conditions (the conditions for achievement of
the guaranteed accuracy) apply.
• Ambient temperature:17 to 25°C
• Ambient humidity:40% to 75% at 20°C (no condensation)
• Site not subject to direct sunlight or excessive vibration; environment as free of dust, acid,
corrosive gases, and salt spray as possible.
(2) Prepare a primary power supply that complies with the following requirements.
• Voltage: 200 V
• Voltage fluctuation: ±10% max.
• Power supply frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Do not draw the primary power supply from a distribution panel that also supplies a major
noise source (for example, an electric welder or electric discharge machine) since this could
cause malfunction of the CNC unit.

Eeoemm6pl002
• If possible, connect the machine to a ground not used by any other equipment. If there is no
choice but to use a common ground, the other equipment must not generate a large amount
of noise (such as an electric welder or electric discharge machine).
(3) Installation Environment
Observe the following points when installing the control enclosure.
• Make sure that the CNC unit will not be subject to direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the control enclosure will not be splashed with chips, water, or oil.
• Make sure that the control enclosure and operation panel are not subject to excessive vibra-
tions or shock.
• The permissible ambient temperature range for the control enclosure is 0 to 40°C.
• The permissible ambient humidity range for the control enclosure is 30 to 95% (no conden-
sation).
• The maximum altitude at which the control enclosure can be used is 1000 m (3281ft.).
2. Points to Check before Turning on the Power
(1) Close all the doors of the control enclosure and operation panel to prevent the entry of water,
chips, and dust.
(2) Make absolutely sure that there is nobody near the moving parts of the machine, and that there
are no obstacles around the machine, before starting machine operation.
Eeoemm6pl003
(3) When turning on the power, turn on the main power disconnect switch first, then the CONTROL
ON switch on the operation panel.
3. Precautions Relating to Operation
4291-E P-(ii)
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(1) After turning on the power, carry out inspection and adjustment in accordance with the daily
inspection procedure described in this instruction manual.
(2) Use tools whose dimensions and type are appropriate for the work undertaken and the machine
specifications. Do not use badly worn tools since they can cause accidents.
(3) Do not, for any reason, touch the spindle or tool while spindle indexing is in progress since the
spindle could rotate: this is dangerous.
(4) Check that the workpiece and tool are properly secured.
(5) Never touch a workpiece or tool while it is rotating: this is extremely dangerous.
(6) Do not remove chips by hand while machining is in progress since this is dangerous. Always
stop the machine first, then remove the chips with a brush or broom.
(7) Do not operate the machine with any of the safety devices removed. Do not operate the
machine with any of the covers removed unless it is necessary to do so.
(8) Always stop the machine before mounting or removing a tool.
(9) Do not approach or touch any moving part of the machine while it is operating.
(10) Do not touch any switch or button with wet hands. This is extremely dangerous.
(11) Before using any switch or button on the operation panel, check that it is the one intended.
4. Precautions Relating to the ATC
(1) The tool clamps of the magazine, spindle, etc., are designed for reliability, but it is possible that
a tool could be released and fall in the event of an unforeseen accident, exposing you to danger:
do not touch or approach the ATC mechanism during ATC operation.
(2) Always inspect and change tools in the magazine in the manual magazine interrupt mode.
Eeoemm6pl004
Eeoemm6pl005
(3) Remove chips adhering to the magazine at appropriate intervals since they can cause misoper-
ation. Do not use compressed air to remove these chips since it will only push the chips further
in.
(4) If the ATC stops during operation for some reason and it has to be inspected without turning the
power off, do not touch the ATC since it may start moving suddenly.
5. On Finishing Work
(1) On finishing work, clean the vicinity of the machine.
(2) Return the ATC, APC and other equipment to the predetermined retraction position.
(3) Always turn off the power to the machine before leaving it.
(4) To turn off the power, turn off the CONTROL ON switch on the operation panel first, then the
main power disconnect switch.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
6. Precautions during Maintenance Inspection and When Trouble Occurs
In order to prevent unforeseen accidents, damage to the machine, etc., it is essential to observe the
following points when performing maintenance inspections or during checking when trouble has
occurred.
(1) When trouble occurs, press the emergency stop button on the operation panel to stop the
machine.
(2) Consult the person responsible for maintenance to determine what corrective measures need to
be taken.
(3) If two or more persons must work together, establish signals so that they can communicate to
confirm safety before proceeding to each new step.
(4) Use only the specified replacement parts and fuses.
(5) Always turn the power off before starting inspection or changing parts.
(6) When parts are removed during inspection or repair work, always replace them as they were
and secure them properly with their screws, etc.
(7) When carrying out inspections in which measuring instruments are used - for example voltage
checks - make sure the instrument is properly calibrated.
(8) Do not keep combustible materials or metals inside the control enclosure or terminal box.
(9) Check that cables and wires are free of damage: damaged cables and wires will cause current
leakage and electric shocks.
(10) Maintenance inside the Control Enclosure
a) Switch the main power disconnect switch OFF before opening the control enclosure door.
Eeoemm6pl007
b) Even when the main power disconnect switch is OFF, there may some residual charge in the
MCS drive unit (servo/spindle), and for this reason only service personnel are permitted to
perform any work on this unit. Even then, they must observe the following precautions.
• MCS drive unit (servo/spindle)
The residual voltage discharges two minutes after the main switch is turned OFF.
c) The control enclosure contains the NC unit, and the NC unit has a printed circuit board
whose memory stores the machining programs, parameters, etc. In order to ensure that the
contents of this memory will be retained even when the power is switched off, the memory is
supplied with power by a battery. Depending on how the printed circuit boards are handled,
the contents of the memory may be destroyed and for this reason only service personnel
should handle these boards.
(11) Periodic Inspection of the Control Enclosure
a) Cleaning the cooling unit
The cooling unit in the door of the control enclosure serves to prevent excessive temperature
rise inside the control enclosure and increase the reliability of the NC unit. Inspect the following points every three months.
• Is the fan motor inside the cooling unit working?
The motor is normal if there is a strong draft from the unit.
• Is the external air inlet blocked?
If it is blocked, clean it with compressed air.
7. General Precautions
4291-E P-(iv)

1-1-2. General Points Relating to Animation
4291-E P-5
SECTION 1 REAL 3D ANIMATED SIMULATION
(1) Animation speed
There is a limit on the feedrate that can be displayed by the animation function.
If the feedrate exceeds this limit during animation, the message “ANIM SPEED OVER” is displayed, and removal of stock and the tool path are not shown.
To clear the “ANIM SPEED OVER” error, perform one of the following:
• Select ERASE.
• Reset the NC.
• Change the range or angle.
1-1-3. High-speed Drawing
Programmed tool paths can be drawn at a high speed when the machine lock mode is set. ON/OFF
setting for the single block function is valid during high-speed drawing.
1-1-4. Cutting Time Display
The execution time of a program differs depending on whether or not the machine lock function is
set.
(1) Machine lock function ON
Length of timer required for axis movements is calculated at the completion of each block and
added. In this calculation, the time spent for the execution of S, T, M commands and G04 is disregarded.
Cutting time is calculated based on the feedrates that are obtained by “programmed F value x
override value (the value valid at the start of a block)”. For rapid feed operation, time is calculated assuming override setting of 100%.
Eeoemm6f1004
Eeoemm6f1005
Eeoemm6f1006
(2) Machine lock function OFF
Total machine operating time is calculated.
SECTION 1 REAL 3D ANIMATED SIMULATION
1-1-5. Selection of Material Shape and Tool Shape
4291-E P-6
The material shape and tool shape used for the 3D animated simulation function are included in all
programs created using the IGF function, so they are automatically set when a program created
using the IGF function is called.
[Supplement]
When the tool shape has to be changed, refer to ANIMATED SIMULATION (2D), Tool Shape Definition.
1-1-6. System Variables
The following system variables can be referred to and updated from an NC program.
Application of System Variable System Variable Name Possible Settings
Section designation VSCTA 0 (Non-sectional display)

1-1-7. Return Search
It is possible to designate if tool path during return search is drawn in 3D animation by selecting [F2]
(RESTART) or by the procedure for selecting return search from the MAIN PRG_OPER.
[Supplement]
If return search tool path is drawn, it will take a longer time than the time required for return search
without 3D animation drawing.
1-1-8. Processing at the Selection of NC Program
It is possible to set whether or not “automatic scaling” and “material drawing” are automatically executed after reading the NC program. This setting is made when selecting NC program.
1-1-9. Other Considerations
(1) On switching between 2D and 3D animation during execution of a main program, the screen is
temporarily cleared, then drawing starts again. Drawing starts from the point where the switchover was made, with no trace of the cutting up to that point remaining.
(2) When the graphic display is displayed in a pop-up window by selecting the ANIMATE ON/OFF
function key on screens other than the ANIMATED SIMULATION screen, such as the ACTUAL
POSITION screen and program display screens, the type of display (2D or 3D) is determined by
the mode selected on the ANIMATED SIMULATION screen.

2-1. Features and Main Functions
4291-E P-7
The animated simulation (2D) function displays the tool paths and the portion being machined in
graduated painting patterns according to the machined depth, thus simulates the removal of stock
from the material.
The animated simulation (2D) function makes the following possible.
• Display of both split view and solid view.
In the display of split view, display in two planes (split display) is possible.
Switchover between these two modes of display is possible at any time.
