SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 accident­free 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 Installation

(1) Please be noted about a primary power supply as follows.

• 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.

• 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).

(2) 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

vibrations or shock.

• The permissible ambient temperature range for the control enclosure is 5 to 40°C.

• The permissible ambient humidity range for the control enclosure is relative humidity 50%

or less at 40°C (no condensation).

• 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.

(3) When turning on the power, turn on the main power disconnect switch first, then the CONTROL

ON switch on the operation panel.

5327-E P-(ii)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

3. Precautions Relating to Manual/Continuous Operation

(1) Follow the instruction manual during operation.

(2) Do not operate the machine with the front cover, chuck cover, or another protective cover

removed.

(3) Close the front cover before starting the machine.

(4) When machining the initial workpiece, check for machine operations, run the machine under no

load to check for interference among components, cut the workpiece in the single block mode,
and then start continuous operation.

(5) Ensure your safety before rotating the spindle or moving a machine part.

(6) Do not touch chips or workpiece while the spindle is rotating.

(7) Do not stop a rotating part with hand or another means.

(8) Check that the condition of hydraulic chuck jaws as mounted, operating pressure, and

maximum permissible revolving speed.

(9) Check the condition and location of the cutting tool as mounted.

(10) Check the tool offset value.

(11) Check the zero offset value.

(12) Check that the SPINDLE OVERRIDE and FEEDRATE OVERRIDE dials on the NC operation

panel are set to 100%.

(13) When moving the turret, check the software limits for X- and Z-axes or the locations of limit

switch dogs to prevent interference with the chuck and tailstock.

(14) Check the location of the turret.

(15) Check the location of the tailstock.

(16) Cut workpieces with a transmitted power and torque within the permissible range.

(17) Chuck each workpiece firmly.

(18) Check that the coolant nozzle is properly located.

4. 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.

5327-E P-(iii)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

5. 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 maitenance 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.

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.

6. General Precautions

(1) Keep the vicinity of the machine clean and tidy.

(2) Wear appropriate clothing while working, and follow the instructions of someone with sufficient

training.

(3) Make sure that your clothes and hair cannot become entangled in the machine. Machine

operators must wear safety equipment such as safety shoes and goggles.

5327-E P-(iv)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(4) Machine operators must read the instruction manual carefully and make sure of the correct

procedure before operating the machine.

(5) Memorize the position of the emergency stop button so that you can press it immediately at any

time and from any position.

(6) Do not access the inside of the control panel, transformer, motor, etc., since they contain high-

voltage terminals and other components which are extremely dangerous.

(7) If two or more persons must work together, establish signals so that they can communicate to

confirm safety before proceeding to each new step.

(MSB)

1. Notes for Using Gauging MSB

1-1. Notes

General notes for using maker subprograms (MSB) for gauging are presented below.

1-1-1. NOEX Command

In the single block mode, sequences preceded by NOEX are excluded in single block operation.
This speeds up internal processing for checking and correcting the program in single block
operation.
When specifying the NOEX command, the restrictions stated below apply.

• NOEX cannot be specified before axis movement commands.

NOEX G00 Z100......................×

• NOEX cannot be specified before an IF statement.

NOEX IF [AA EQ 0] N004........×

• NOEX cannot be specified before a GOTO statement.

NOEX GOTO N004..................×

• NOEX cannot be specified before a sequence number/label.

NOEX can be specified after a sequence number/label.

NOEX N001 V1 = 100..............×

N001 NOEX V1 = 100.............{

• NOEX cannot be specified before a CALL statement.

NOEX CALL OWMXA...............×

In modes other than the single block mode, NOEX has no influence on the execution of a program.
If NOEX is specified in a variable setting sequence, the execution time is shortened since the
sequence is excluded from single block processing. The operation itself does not vary regardless of
whether or not NOEX is specified.

SECTION 1 MAKER SUBPROGRAMS FOR GAUGING (MSB)

1-1-2. Judging Local Variable Definition Using IF Statement

N2 IF Local-variable-name N3

5327-E P-2

(1)

(2)

(3) (4)

LE61129R0200700030001

(1) Specify the sequence name of this block.

(2) This indicates that this sequence is the IF statement sequence.

(3) Specify the local variable name whose defined/undefined status is to be checked. Note that a

local variable name may not be enclosed by brackets ([ ]).

(4) Specify the sequence name of the destination block to which the program jumps if the specified

local variable has been defined.

The IF statement judges whether or not the specified local variable has been defined and causes a
jump to the N3 block if it has been defined.
If it has not been defined, the next block is executed.
Example:N1000 IF ABC N2000
If local variable ABC has been defined, the program jumps to the N2000 block.
If not, the program proceeds to the next block.

1-1-3. Calculating the Measured Value (Sensor Contact Point, Program Coordinate

System) (Gauging in the Z-axis Direction)

Measured value = VSKPZ [*] - VZOFZ - VZSHZ - VETFZ (* = 1 or 2)
After the execution of the G30 gauging cycle, the coordinate value of the contact point (in the
machine coordinate system) is set at VSKPZ.

X

Z

Machine zero

Contact point VSKPZ [*]

Measured

Zero offset

Zero shift

value

Tool offset value

value

LE61129R0200700040001

Measured value - Target value (MSP):
The difference between the “measured value” and the “target value (MSP)” is calculated as the
amount of variation and judgment is carried out based on this amount of variation.

[Supplement]

The coordinate value of the contact point is set at either variable VSKPZ [1] or VSKPZ [2]. In the
touch setter gauging cycle, the contact point coordinate value is set at VSKPZ [2]. In the touch
sensor gauging cycle (master ring gauging cycle, work gauging cycle), it is set at VSKPZ [1]. This
is also true for VSKPX [1] and VSKPX [2].

1-2. Control Statements

In gauging programs, the following control statements are used:

(1) GOTO statement

(2) IF statement

(3) CALL statement

(4) RTS statement

These control statements are all entered at the beginning of a block or immediately after the
“sequence name” which comes first in a block. They must be followed by a space or a tab code. If
no space or tab code is entered following a control statement, an alarm occurs.
However, note that since a left bracket “[“ is specified following IF statement, no space or tab code is
required after an IF instruction.
Example:

5327-E P-3

SECTION 1 MAKER SUBPROGRAMS FOR GAUGING (MSB)

N1001 GOTO N2000

Enter a space or a tab code

NLAP1 GOTO NLAP2

LE61129R0200700050001

Specify either a space or a tab code immediately after an element consisting of two or more
consecutive address characters such as a sequence name or control code.

[Supplement]

A sequence name means a code that is used to identify a block in a program. It consists of four
alphanumeric digits following address N.
Sequence names can be expressed in two ways: [N] [4-digit number] and [N] [Alphabet] [3-digit
alphanumerics]
In this manual, sequence names include both of these two types of expression.

SECTION 1 MAKER SUBPROGRAMS FOR GAUGING (MSB)

1-2-1. GOTO Statement (Unconditional Branch)

(1) Programming format

N0 GOTO N1

5327-E P-4

(a)

(b)

(c)

(a) Sequence name of this block. The sequence name may be omitted.
(b) Indicates a GOTO statement.
(c) Sequence name of the destination of branching. A branch destination sequence name
must always be specified.

LE61129R0200700060001

[Supplement]

The branch destination sequence name “N1” must be present in the same block where the control
statement (GOTO) is specified.

(2) Function

Program branches to the specified block (N1) unconditionally.
With a two-saddle model, branching from the turret A side program to the turret B side program
or from the turret B side program to the turret A side program is not allowed.

SECTION 1 MAKER SUBPROGRAMS FOR GAUGING (MSB)

1-2-2. IF Statement (Conditional Branch)

(1) Programming format

N0 IF [Qualification] N1

5327-E P-5

(a)

(b)

(c) (d)

(a) Sequence name of this block. The sequence name may be omitted.
(b) Indicates an IF statement.
(c) There are two qualification states resulting from the comparison operation: "true" and "false."
The qualification must be enclosed by brackets ([ ]).
(d) The sequence name of the destination of branching that occurs if the result of qualification is
"true". The branch destination sequence name must always be specified.

LE61129R0200700070001

(2) Function

The program jumps to the specified block if the result of [qualification] is true.
If the result if false, the next block is executed.
Example:

N1000 IF [V1 EQ 10] N2000

This stands for "EQUAL".

LE61129R0200700070002

In the example program above, if “10” is set for variable V1 (V1 = 10), the program jumps to the
N2000 block. In other cases, the next block is executed.

(3) Evaluation of defined or undefined local variables by IF statement

N2 IF Local-variable name N3

(a)

(b)

(c) (d)

(a) Sequence name of this block.
(b) Indicates an IF statement.
(c) Local variable name whose defined/not defined status is to be evaluated. A variable name
may not be enclosed by brackets ([ ]).
(d) Sequence name of the destination of branching that occurs if the specified local variable

has been defined.

Whether the specified local variable has been defined or not is judged; if it has been

defined, the program jumps to the N3 block.

If it has not been defined, the next block is executed.

LE61129R0200700070003

SECTION 1 MAKER SUBPROGRAMS FOR GAUGING (MSB)

Example:

:
N1000 IF ABC N2000
:
:
N2000

In the example program above, if local variable ABC has been defined, the program jumps to
the N2000 block.

(c) Program name of the subprogram to be called. The program name must always be specified.
(d) The number of times the called subprogram should be repeated. The programmable range of

this repetition is from 1 to 9999. If the Q word is omitted, "Q1" is assumed.

(e) Set variables that are used in the subprogram to be called.

LE61129R0200700080001

(2) Function

The CALL statement calls and executes the specified subprogram (O1).
If variables are set in “variable setting set”, the specified variables are all registered.
Example: N1000 CALL O1234 XP1=150 ZP1=100
Calls and executes subprogram O1234 and registers variables XP1 and ZP1.

1-2-4. RTS Statement (Subprogram End Code)

(1) Programming format

N0 RST

(b)

(a)

(a) Sequence name of this block. The sequence name may be omitted.
(b) Indicates the end of the subprogram (RTS statement).

(2) Function

The RTS statement must always be specified at the end of a subprogram.
When this block is executed, the called subprogram ends and the program returns to the block
next to the CALL statement block.
Variables registered by the execution of the CALL statement and those registered in the called
subprogram are discarded.
Example:

5327-E P-7

LE61129R0200700090001

LE61129R0200700090002

When N1000 in the main program is executed, program execution jumps to O1234 in the
subprogram and that subprogram is executed. After that, when the RTS statement in N050 is
executed, program execution jumps to the N1001 block and the blocks in the main program are
executed from N1001.
Variables XP1 and ZP1 are discarded.

2. Touch Setter Gauging and Touch Sensor Gauging

2-1. Overview

2-1-1. General Description of MSB

This section covers the list, flow chart, variable table and other information relating to the touch
setter M/A and touch sensor gauging function, taking the following maker subprogram (MSB) as an
example.

LMSA300A.MSB

The name of the gauging control software is expressed as indicated below.

LMS*????.MSB

*: Indicates the content of the gauging software.

????: Indicates the gauging software version.

In this manual, the gauging control software is represented by “MSB”.
MSBs largely differ from other control software in their contents.
Other control software is used to control signals from the machine and also input/output of part
programs and/or user’s commands.
In contrast, MSBs have the same format as part programs, and they may be considered to be
control software that executes gauging cycles instead of an operator.
In the explanation below, LMSA300A.MSB (tool nose gauging using a touch sensor) is used as an
example. A variety of MSBs exist in addition to this program and the internal specification is specific
to the individual programs. However, the basic programming format, variables to be used, etc. are
common to all MSBs.

5327-E P-8

2-2. Variable Tables

The variables used in MSBs are explained in this section.

(1) Common variables (different from common variables V1 to V200 used for parameter setting)

(2) System variables 1 (used for reading and correcting various types of data)

(3) System variables 2 (used for transmitting data between turret A and turret)

(4) System variables 3 (used as counter for gauging functions)

(5) System variables 4 (used for screen display)

(6) Input/output variables (used for input/output)

SECTION 1 MAKER SUBPROGRAMS FOR GAUGING (MSB)

(1) Common variables V1 to V200 used for setting parameters are used in common for turrets A

and B. On the other hand, the common variables VS01 to VS32 indicated above are turret
dependent.
That is, turrets A and B have an independent VS01, for example, and the VS01 for turret A must
be specified and called out from turret A, while the VS01 for turret B must be specified and
called out from turret B.

(2) Note that these common variables (VS01 to VS32) will be used in other MSBs in addition to the

gauging cycle discussed here. Therefore, if these common variables are used as variables
transferred between subprograms, numerical values might be changed during the transfer.
When these common variables are used, their processing must end within the same
subprogram.
