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.

5238-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.

5238-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.

5238-E P-(iv)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(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.

(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 highvoltage 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.

SECTION 1 PROGRAM CONFIGURATIONS

SECTION 1 PROGRAM CONFIGURATIONS

1.Program Types

For OSP-P200L, three kinds of programs are used: schedule programs, main programs, and subprograms. The following briefly explains these three kinds of programs.

Schedule Program

When more than one type of workpiece is machined in continuous operation using a bar feeder or other equipment, multiple main programs are used. A schedule program is used to specify the order in which the main programs are executed and the number of times the individual main program is executed. Using a schedule program makes it possible to carry out untended operation easily.

It is not necessary to assign a program name. The END code must be specified at the end of a schedule program. For details, refer to SECTION 14, "SCHEDULE PROGRAMS".

Main Program

A main program contains a series of commands to machine one type of workpiece. Subprograms can be called from a main program to simplify programming.

A main program begins with a program name which begins with address character "O" and ends with M02 or M30.

Subprogram

A subprogram can be called from a main program or another subprogram. There are two types of subprograms: those written and supplied by Okuma (maker subprogram), and those written by the customer (user subprogram).

The program name, which must start with "O", is required at the beginning of the subprogram. The RTS command must be specified at the end of the subprogram. For details, refer to SECTION 13, USER TASK.

•Program file format

Main file name: Max. 16 alphanumeric characters starting with an alphabet Extension: Max. 3 alphabetic characters

•••.

Main file name Extension

LE33013R0300300010001

• Extensions

SDF : Schedule program file MIN : Main program file

SSB : System subprogram file SUB : User subprogram file

5238-E P-2

SECTION 1 PROGRAM CONFIGURATIONS

2.Program Name

With the OSP-P200L, programs are called and executed by designating the program name or program number assigned to the beginning of individual programs. This simplifies programs.

A program name that contains only numbers is called a program number.

Program Name Designation

•Enter letters of the alphabet (A to Z) or numbers (0 to 9) following address character "O". Note that no space is allowed between "O" and a letter of the alphabet or a number. Similarly, no space is allowed between letters of the alphabet and numbers.

•Up to four characters can be used.

•An alphabetic character can only be used in a program name if it begins with an alphabetic character. Although a program beginning with an alphabetic character can contain a number in it, one that begins with a number cannot contain an alphabetic character.

•A block which contains a program name must not contain other commands.

•A program name may not be used for a schedule program.

•The program name assigned to a subprogram must begin with address character "O", but this is not mandatory for main programs.

•Since program names are handled in units of characters, the following names are judged to be different program names.

•O0123 and O123

•O00 and O0

•Do not assign the same name to more than one program, otherwise it will not be possible to select the intended program.

5238-E P-3

SECTION 1 PROGRAM CONFIGURATIONS

3.Sequence Name

All blocks in a program are assigned a sequence name that begins with address character "N" followed by an alphanumeric sequence.

Functions such as a sequence search function, a sequence stop function and a branching function can be used for blocks assigned a sequence name.

A sequence name that contains only numbers is called a sequence number.

Sequence Name Designation

6.Block Delete

[Function]

This function allows the operator to specify whether specific blocks are executed or ignored in automatic mode operation.

Blocks preceded by "/" are ignored during automatic mode operation if the BLOCK DELETE switch on the machine operation panel is set on. If the switch is off, the blocks are executed normally. When the block skip function is activated, the entire block is ignored.

[Supplement]

•The slash "/" code must be placed at either the start of a block or immediately after a sequence name (number). If it is placed in another position in a block, it will cause an alarm.

•The slash "/" may not be contained in the program name block.

•Blocks which contain a "/" code are also subject to the sequence search function, regardless of the BLOCK DELETE switch position.

•The block delete function is not possible during SINGLE BLOCK mode. The succeeding block is executed, and then the operation stops.

7.Comment Function (CONTROL OUT/IN)

A program may be made easier to understand by using comments in parentheses.

•Comments must be parenthesized to distinguish them from general operation information.

•Comments are also subject to TV and TH checks.

8.Program Storage Memory Capacity

The NC uses memory to store machining programs. The memory capacity is selectable depending on the size of the machining program. For execution, a program is transferred from the memory to the operation buffer (RAM). The capacity of the operation buffer is indicated by one program capacity.

If the size of the program to be executed is large, it is necessary to expand the one program capacity. The one program capacity can be selected from 320 m (1049.92 ft), 640 m (2099.84 ft.), 1280 m (4199.68 ft.), to expand program storage capacity.

9.Variable Limits

On execution of a command that specifies axis movement to a target point beyond the variable limit in the positive direction, the specified target point is replaced with the variable limit in the positive direction.

For commands specifying axis movement to a target point beyond the variable limit in the negative direction, axis movement is not executed and an alarm occurs.

10.Determining Feedrate for Cutting along C-Axis

10-1. Cutting by Controlling the C-axis Only

Although it is possible to machine a workpiece by controlling the C-axis, tool movement distance in unit time (one minute) differs according to the diameter of the position to be machined because the feedrate is specified in units of deg/min. This must be taken into consideration when making a program.

[Memo]

To match the unit of the C-axis feed command with the X- and/or Z-axis command, the feedrate command (F) should be calculated by converting 360 into 500 mm. This conversion should also be carried out when only a C-axis command is given.

Example:

90°

200φ

50φ

B

90°

A

Axis movement distance along slot A: π 50/4 = 39 mm

Axis movement distance along slot B: π 200/4 = 156 mm

Therefore, if cutting is carried out at a feedrate of 100 mm per minute, the feedrate (deg/min) of the C-axis is calculated as follows:

Along slot A(deg/min) 100/39 90 = 230

Along slot B(deg/min) 100/156 90 = 58

Convert the unit of feed from "deg/min" into "mm/min".

Slot A: (mm/min) 230/360 500 = 320 (F320)

Slot B: (mm/min) 58/360 500 = 80 (F80)

SECTION 2 COORDINATE SYSTEMS AND COMMANDS

SECTION 2 COORDINATE SYSTEMS AND COMMANDS

1.Coordinate Systems

1-1. Coordinate Systems and Values

To move the tool to a target position, the reference coordinate system must be set first to define the target position, and the target position is defined by coordinate values in the set coordinate system. There are the three types of coordinate system indicated below. A program coordinate system is used for programming.

•Encoder coordinate system

•Machine coordinate system

•Program coordinate system

1-2. Encoder Coordinate System

An encoder is used to detect the position of a numerically controlled axis. The encoder coordinate system is established based on the position data output by the encoder.

The position data directly output from the encoder is not displayed on the screen, and this coordinate system may be disregarded in daily operation.

1-3. Machine Coordinate System

The reference point in the machine is referred to as the machine zero and the coordinate system which has its origin at the machine zero is called the machine coordinate system. The machine zero is set for each individual machine using system parameters and it is not necessary to change the setting after the installation of the machine.

If "0" is set for the encoder zero point offset (system parameter), the machine coordinate system agrees with the encoder coordinate system.

1-4. Program Coordinate System

The coordinate system used as the reference for program commands is called the program coordinate system.

The position of the origin of the program coordinate system varies according to the kind of workpieces to be machined and the origin is set at the required position by setting the zero offset data. The program coordinate system used for machining a specific kind of workpiece is thus defined based on the set origin.

5238-E P-17

SECTION 2 COORDINATE SYSTEMS AND COMMANDS

Although the origin of a program coordinate system (program zero) can be set at any position, it is usually set on the centerline of a workpiece for the X-axis and at the left end face of workpiece for the Z-axis.
