Acceleration (Unit: mm/s2 )

The maximum acceleration value during acceleration and deceleration movement, improve (including straight and curved motion) processing capabilities. If acceleration value is too big, it may cause the motor losing steps, tremble and even squeak; Setting value too small, will cut down the operating speed of the entire graph. System default: linear acceleration is 800 mm/s2, curve acceleration is 1000mm/s2, the proposed curve acceleration is 1-1.5 times of the linear acceleration value.

Start Speed (Unit: mm/min)

Start speed of motion axis from stationary state. Not starting from 0, but starting directly from a certain speed, so it can shorten the overall processing time, but this speed shouldn’t be too high.

5.3.4 Manual switching coordinate system

Including machine coordinate system and work coordinate system.

Machine coordinate system is a fixed position, the origin point of machine coordinate is always a fixed position relative to the machine; its coordinate value is called mechanical values, the origin of coordinate is the origin of the machine or called reference point. So, at any time, a point in space can be uniquely determined by a mechanical coordinate system. Because of reference point is the calculation basis of machine coordinates movement, all of those operations such as power on the machine or abnormal release and so on have to return to the reference point which is refers to return machine ZERO.

Work coordinate system used more greatly than other coordinates system in processing. Usually, in processing, we describe a processing position is always relative to a certain point on the workpiece, whereas the workpiece on the machine tool's position relative to the mechanical origin is often change, so it is necessary to introduce a set of more convenient coordinate system during processing, that is work coordinate system. The origin of work coordinate system is a fixed point relative to the workpiece, but it is floating relative to the machine coordinate origin.

RichAuto-B18 provides 1 machine coordinate system and 9 work coordinate systems. Press

“ ” + “ ” can switch the machine coordinate system and work coordinate system;

press “ ” + “Number button 1-9” can switch among different work coordinate systems.

Schematic diagram of coordinate system:

Note: The system cannot set workpiece origin under machine coordinate system. User should switch to work coordinate first, and then set workpiece origin.

5.7 Additional parameters introduction

1) Pulse equivalent calculation：（MACHINE SETUP）

Rotary axis (pul/ °), formula = pulses per revolution / angles per revolution（360°）

2) Work origin offset：（AUTO PRO SETUP, Unit：mm）

For Z axis work origin which locates in the center of a material or not at the surface of

the material，then user can set the Z axis origin offset value. For example：A rectangular

wooden pillar, its work origin is at the center, however, the normal work origin can only

be set on the material surface, thus we use the “Work origin offset” function. The offset

can be a positive value or a negative value. If Z axis moves down, it should be a negative

value; If Z axis moves up, it should be a positive value. For X, Y and A axis work origin

offset value is set in the same rule.

3) Rotary axis mark：(SYSTEM SETUP-Function Confi)

The user can choose a name for the rotary axis, there are 3 options can be selected from this menu: A/B/C, modify as required. After that the system requires a reboot.

9 To ol setting methods detailed explanation

The process of tool setting is process of setting work coordinate system specific location in the machine tool coordinate system.

There are 3 ways for tool setting: Direct tool setting, Fixed calibration and Mobile calibration

9.1 Direct Tool Setting

Manually move down Z axis and make sure the tool bit touches the material surface. Of course, user should reduce the motion speed of Z axis when the cutter is the most nearest the plane.

To confirm the contact position between the tool and the workpiece by eye-measurement

or tool bit touch the workpiece surface. Then press “Z→0” to finish the tool setting.

9.2 Fixed calibration

Tool setter electrical wiring diagram:

Wiring diagram Tool setter real picture

Tool setter wiring: The dsp controller tool setting input signal (X5) is normally open state when ex- factory. Normally open type：The Tool setter signal CUTTER should be connected to the wiring board input port –X5, COM connects to GND-INPUT SIGNAL. X4: system default normally open. Normally closed：Firstly, modify the input voltage level of X5 to normally closed, then connect CUTTER signal to X5, COM to GND-INPUT SIGNAL. The Over travel protection signal wiring method is similar to CUTTER signal. It can be connected

to X7-E-stop signal.

Fixed calibration diagram:

Fixed calibration: Means to execute tool setting operation at a certain fixed position on the

machine table. During machining, the cutter tool wear or fracture that needs replacement. However, the blade

length and tool clamping position will change after tool changing. The system can execute “fixed calibration” to re-confirm the tool offset value.

Instructions：

1) Set Tool setter position

Get into “MACHINESETUP--C.A.D Position” to set Tool setter position, including “Inplace”&“Inposition”.

In position(positioning): Press“ ”, screen displays “Press OK key to set point position by

manual mode, it’s very simple but not accurate, press cancel to set by number”. Recommend to choose manual mode.

In place: Move X,Y axis to the place where is over the Tool setter, press “ ”.

2) First time tool setting / Tool setting after tool changing

Manual move Z axis to the surface of workpiece, and set workpiece origin of X, Y, Z, A axis.

Press “ ”execute the first time tool setting. The system will record value of offset

automatically. Start the processing after first time tool setting.

After the tool changed or tool bit broken, press “ ”+“ ” to start second time tool setting, system will automatically restore to current Z axis workpiece coordinate origin.

北京锐志天宏科技股份有限公司

55

Beijing RichAuto S&T Co., Ltd.

Second time tool setting completed, start processing.

Note: After the tool changed or tool bit broken off, the system can automatically calculate Z

offset and save it when executes the tool setting command, after tool setting user can start

processing directly without press “Z→0”.

9.3 Mobile calibration

Mobile calibration is suitable for materials such as wood working, acrylic, plastic, aluminum, iron, steel etc. material. Generally, the tool touch plate can be used to do the mobile calibration, as it is economical, simple and convenient.

Tool touch plate wiring:

1. The white wire alligator clip connects to X5(TS) input port on the wiring board.

2. The black wire connects to GND on the input terminal of the wiring board.

Touch plate real picture

Touch plate wiring diagram

Usage method:

Connect the wire to the wiring board(X5 port), and connect the alligator clip to GND port on the

interface board input terminal (or clamp it to the spindle, and ensure the spindle has been connected to earth wire). Put the tool touch-off plate on the surface of the workpiece, move X Y axis over the tool plate,

press “ ”, Z axis will move down slowly until touches the plate and feedback its tool

setting signal to the controller, then Z axis automatically lift up, tool setting complete.

Note:

After connected the tool touch-off plate, start the machine (don’t start the spindle). Don't put alligator clip on the spindle immediately, but to start automatically tool setting function first, and then use the alligator clip touch the tool touch-off plate quickly, in order to check whether Z axis has the action of tool setting. To ensure there is no problem with the spindle, and then realize the automatically tool setting.

The system “C.A.D thickness” value is default as 0, so the user should measure the real thickness of the tool touch plate and input the value into the system, under “Machine setup”—“C.A.D thickness”, after that user could use mobile calibration.

10 Pulse equivalent calculation

10.1 Stepper motor drive

10.1.1 Linear axis

Unit：Pul/mm Formula = pulses per revolution / distance per revolution

Numerator：

Pulses per revolution formula: (360 °/stepper angle* Driver subdivision)

(Some stepper drivers mark pulse number directly).

Denominator：

Distance/revolution formula：

► Screw drive = screw pitch*mechanical transmission ratio(reduction ratio) ► Rack（straight）drive = rack module*gear teeth number*π*mechanical transmission ratio

(reduction ratio)

► Rack（helical）drive = rack module*gear teeth number*π*mechanical transmission

ratio(reduction ratio)/cos（helical angle）

► Pulley & belt drive = π*pulley diameter*mechanical transmission ratio(reduction ratio)

 Screw drive：

E.g.1:Driver nameplate 1 E.g.2:Driver nameplate2 Motor nameplate/ stepper angle=1.8°

Explain: Stepper angle is the data of motor, means the angle of motor rotating for a single step. Driver subdivision is set in the driver. In E.g.1, Pulse/rev is Pulses per revolution of stepper motor, so that the user only needs to select a relative value according to the actual dial code. For example: If user choose 3200 Pulse/rev, indicates (360 °/stepper angle)* Driver subdivision=3200. In E.g.2, the MSTEP means subdivision number. So, if the stepper angle is 1.8°, selected subdivision is 16, then (360 °/stepper angle)* subdivision=(360°/1.8)*16=3200. The use should use correct computational method according to the actural marks of stepper motor driver nameplate.

Screw pitch (above picture): The distance that the nut moves when the ball screw makes one

rotation.

Transmission ratio: The reduction rate or angular velocity ratio of the front drive sprocket to the

end driven wheel.  Rack drive： ► Straight teeth：

10.2 Proportion calculation method

If there is an error when calculate it according to the formula or cannot get relevant data to

calculate, it can be calculated according to the proportion method. Suppose handle pulse

equivalent is A, press " " switching to distance mode, set a distance B, measuring the

number of actual moving distance C, then the actual pulse equivalent = A × B ÷ C.

For example: Suppose handle pulse equivalent A = 400, distance B = 100, actual distance C =

80, then the actual pulse equivalent = 400 × 100 ÷ 80 = 500

Repeat calculation for several times until you get the correct pulse equivalent value.

4) There is no any reaction while insert into the U-disk. Change a genuine brand of U-disk, such

as SanDisk, FOUNDER U-disk etc.

5) If the U-disk interface is weak connection，user can copy files into inner memory space of

the controller for temporary solution.

6) Program contains non-standard G codes, or some illegal characters. The system does not

recognize them and interrupt handling. Recommend using professional simulation software

to review the program whether there is an illegal character. Delete all illegal characters.

11.2 FAQ in practical operation

After the machining, the cutting size doesn’t match the actual size in processing file

1) Pulse equivalent is wrong.

2) User has selected the wrong tool bit which is not the same as it set in process file.

3) Check if there is any problem with the path processing file.

The screen displays “exceed limit” during processing

1) The machine hasn’t returned ZERO, lead the system is unable to confirm the actual

position. Solution is to go machine ZERO.

2) The reserved processing range is small than the actual file size after user set work piece

origin. Confirm the actual file size and then set a correct working origin.

3) Set wrong working origin in the process of creating processing file path. Check the file path,

and then generate the correct one.

Hard limit triggering

1) If the machine has connected with hard limit, the hard limit switch maybe damaged or the

voltage setup status on X6 is wrong.

2) System has not connected with hard limit signal：Confirm whether connect other signal wire

to hard limit X6 port, if not, check voltage setup normal or not. If normal, user could go to

“MACHINE SETUP”-“Input Confi” and DISABLE X6 port, then go to “SYSTEM SETUP”- “wipe

cache”. If still can’t solve this problem, user can upgrade the system.

Z axis（spindle） fall down abnormally（too fast）and cause Z feed amount too much during

processing

1) Z axis working speed exceed the fastest speed cause Z axis loses its steps when moving up. "

MACHINESETUP " - " Max Spd Limit "，set the safe speed.

2) The coupling is loosen or transmission mechanism slipping. Re-adjustment the connecting

parts.

3) The signal wire connected between the interface board and the motor driver has got

interference. Adjust the circuit.

4) Processing file error. Check processing file, try to download the correct processing file to U

disk or handle internal.

5) There is something wrong（plug loosen or wire damaged or wire diameter is too slimsy）with

the lines connecting Z axis motor and motor driver. Replace the lines.

Repeating the same processing file after returning back to the machine ZERO, Z axis cutting

depths are not as same as each other

1) Machining table is uneven or processing object not firmly fixed, re-milling the machine table

to adjust the flatness.

2) Z-axis origin detection switch repeat positioning accuracy error, causing Z axis homing error

each time. Replace a high-quality detection switch.

3) Too much interference in the Z-axis homing process to form a false Z origin. Re-adjust the

wiring.

The machine cannot stop after returning ZERO, and cause spindle hit the machine body

Double press“ ”to check input signal (Origin detection switch signal). To do self test.

Detect whether the signal is triggered or disconnected.

1) The origin detection switch is broken. Replace a new one.

2) The distance of the origin detection switch detection sheet beyond the detection range(This

problem is common occurs in optoelectronic and proximity switches) of the switch, adjust

the position of the test piece.

3) The origin detection switch to the interface board wiring aging or loosening. Check the

connections again.

4) The interface board is broken. Return back to us to repair.

5) 50-pin data cable is broken. Replace it with a new data cable.

The machine uniform moves to the reverse direction when backing to the machine ZERO

1) The origin detection switch types do not match with the definition of the corresponding

voltage level. Modify the voltage level in the controller. (Normally open type corresponds to

a level defined the direction of the arrow down, normally closed type corresponds to the

level defined arrow up).

2) The origin detection switch is broken. Replace a new one.

3) The origin detection switch connects interface board not well. Refresh the cable to confirm

the wiring is correct.

4) Too much interference, resulting in the illusion of the detection switch has been

triggered. Recalibrated the whole circuit.

5) The interface board is broken. Depot Repair.

6) 50-pin data cable is broken. Replace the data cable.

Abnormally running when processing or the actual file is different from theoretical file

1) The system program disorder.

2) Too much external interference lead the controller cannot work normally. Re-adjust overall

circuit. (The wires of weak current and strong current should be separately binding, the

inverter and other components should be separated connected each GND of themselves).

3) There is something wrong while converting the file format and the program appears illegal

characters or system unrecognized codes. Recommended to use third party simulation

software to review the program paths.

Start automatic tool setting, the tool does not stop after touching C.A.D (Tool sensor).

1) The cutter signal cable connects X5 maybe broken circuit.

2) The "GND" signal port on the interface board hasn’t been connected with spindle housing or

poor connection.

3) Go to “MACHINE SETUP”-“Input Confi” to confirm if X4 is enabled.

Coordinate value changes on screen, but the machine does not move

1) If it is one axis not moving, it maybe wiring problem. Change another normal terminal to this

axis wiring terminal, if it moves properly indicating the rear parts of motor driver have no

problem. Check if there is something wrong with interface board or 50-pin cable. If it is still

not moving, it is necessary to detect the corresponding drive and motor.

2) If all axes are not moving, firstly, check if there are problems in the 50-pin cable and

interface board,; secondly, if the interface board and 50-pin cable are normal, then user

should check the power supply of the motor drivers.

3) If debugged all above parts, but the machine still not move, then the mechanical parts

should be checked.

It is normal to the move from one position to another position, but when return from that

position to the original position is not normal

Mechanical assembly problem, guide screw may be not installed well.
