Mount the tool holders in the stock­ers.
Click [Close Magazine Cover].
Check the information displayed in VPanel.
Installing no more than the number required to accomplish cutting is sucient. Keeping four installed always is not neces­sary. Also, you are free to mount tool holders in whichever stocker numbers you prefer. It can be convenient to decide on and use a system that is easy to remember, such as mounting a draft-cutting tool holder in stocker No. 1, a semi-nishing tool in No. 2, and so on.
Important Note on the Destination for Tool-holder Return
When the spindle is gripping the tool holder from stocker No. 1, for example, never mount another tool in No. 1. Doing so makes it impossible to return the tool holder currently gripped. This unit employs a xed-address system, in which a tool holder taken from stocker No. 1 is always returned to No. 1.

4-1 What's the Tool-length Offset?
What's the Tool-length Offset?
This feature keeps the position of the tool tip from changing during cutting, even when you change among tools of dierent lengths. This is useful when you want to use multiple tools selectively to cut a single workpiece. Note, however, that this requires measuring the lengths of the respective tools and saving their adjustment (oset) values in advance. The gure below shows an example where the gauge surface of the tool holders is used as the reference.
Tool-length Automatic-measurement Feature
This unit also provides a feature for measuring the tool length automatically. Using this can be convenient because it performs all tasks up through saving the adjustment value in a single step.
☞ P. 59, "4-2 Automatic Measurement of Tool Length"
How to Determine the Adjustment Values
When you measure tool length yourself, you make the distance from the reference position to the tool tip the adjustment (oset) value. However, it's best to decide on a clearly dened reference position. This gure shows an example where you decide on the reference tool and use the position of its tool tip as the reference. (In this case, the adjustment value for the reference tool is zero.) It's important to note that adjustment values may be positive or negative. The value is positive when the tip is lower than the reference position or negative when higher than reference position.

4-2 Automatic Measurement of Tool Length
What's Automatic Measurement of Tool Length?
This feature automatically measures tool length using the Z-origin sensor and registers its adjustment value. You can perform batch registration for a number of tools at one time.
Important !
When performing automatic measurement of tool length, check that no cutting waste and the like is present on the Z-origin sensor and tool. Otherwise, correct measurement may be impossible and the intended cutting results cannot be obtained.
Automatic-measurement Procedure
Procedure
Mount tool holders in the magazine.

Click [OK].
Click [OK] to nish measuring. Detach the sensor cable.
This completes the registration of the adjustment values and the preparations for starting tool-length oset. To use tool­length oset in actual operations, refer to the pages indicated below.
☞ P. 68, "5-2 Examples of Usage of Tool-length Offset (RML-1 Mode)" ☞ P. 69, "5-3 Examples of Usage of Tool-length Offset (NC-code Mode)"
WARNING
After performing automatic measurement of tool length, never needlessly perform replacement with a different tool.
Doing so makes the adjustment value incompatible with the tool length, which may result in cutting-in at an unintended depth. Errors or mistakes may cause the tool to break and be thrown off forcefully, leading to danger of injury.

To Make the Tool Descend Rapidly
When it takes a long time for the tool to make contact with the sensor, turn the hand wheel on the handy panel counterclock­wise. Be careful not to make the tool collide with the sensor. A collision makes accurate detection impossible. If a collision occurs, redo the operation from the beginning.

Procedure
In VPanel, click the [Length Offset] icon.
Enter the adjustment value. Click [OK].
About the Offset Numbers
The numbers displayed in the [Length Oset] dialog box are the oset numbers. In the NC-code mode, the oset numbers may not necessarily be identical to the stocker numbers. It's important to remember that, for example, oset No. 2 may be assigned to stocker No. 1. In the RML-1 mode, it's not necessary to be aware of any dierences between stocker numbers and the oset numbers.

A tool that is longer than the adjustment value per­forms cutting-in that is deeper than intended. In such cases, increase the value. Conversely, if the cutting-in depth is too shallow, reduce the value.

Chapter 4 Tool-length Offset
4-3 Entering Adjustment Values Yourself
Page 66
4-4 Starting Tool-length Offset
When Tool-length Offset Starts
Tool-length oset is activated in the following cases. In each of these cases, the osets are applied according to the registered adjustment values. (You can use the [Magazine] dialog box to view and check the adjustment values.) Note, however, that the adjustment values are all zero by default, and unless you change them, no osets are applied.
RML-1 Mode
In the RML-1 mode, osets are always applied according to the registered adjustment values. The oset is applied when a tool-grasping operation is performed, whether according to a command from the computer or by a manual tool-change.
NC-code Mode
In the NC-code mode, no osets are applied unless an oset-start command is given in the NC program. Note, however, that osets are applied only during manual feed after a manual tool-change.
Tool-length Offset in a Manual Tool-change
The following events occur as a result of oset application due to a manual tool-change.
Manual Feed
The Z-axis coordinate view is updated to reect the tool-length oset.
Cutting Operations in the RML-1 Mode
If the program you're using doesn't support the ATC (that is, if it's a program incapable of automatic tool-change), you can still perform cutting by grasping the tool using manual tool-change. Tool-length oset is applied at this time as well. Note, however, that this does not occur in the NC-code mode.
Correspondences Between Stocker Numbers and Offset Numbers
RML-1 Mode
Being aware of any dierences between stocker numbers and oset numbers is not necessary. In the RML-1 mode, the stocker numbers and the oset numbers are always identical.
NC-code Mode
In the NC-code mode, it's necessary to be aware of any dierences between stocker numbers and oset numbers. For instance, oset No. 2 may be assigned to stocker No. 1. The combinations are all specied by the NC program.
Manual Tool-change
In manual tool-changes, the stocker number and the oset number are always the same. Oset No. 2, for example, can never been assigned to stocker No. 1, not even in the NC-code mode.

Actual Size That Can Be Cut
Creating an object of the size of the full axis travel is not necessarily possible. Because a certain amount of clearance in the X-, Y-, and Z-axis directions is required for no-load feed of the tool, the allowable size of the workpiece is reduced by a cor­responding amount. Also, the possible cutting-in depth is generally determined by the length of the tool. Using a lengthy tool to achieve deep cutting reduces the clearance in the Z-axis direction, which further reduces the allowable size of the workpiece.
The size of what you can cut varies according to the shape of the object you want to create and the tool you use. Give careful thought to this ahead of time, before you start work.

5-2 Examples of Usage of Tool-length Offset (RML-1 Mode)
Example of Operations up to Starting Cutting
This section explains some important points about using an ATC-compatible program to perform cutting with multiple tools.
Mount the Tools
Decide on the tools to use for draft cutting, nishing, and so on, and mount them in the magazine. Once you've mounted them, it's important not to replace them with others until after you've nished cutting.
☞ P. 52, "3-2 Mounting the Tool Holders"
Register the Adjustment Values
Use automatic measurement of tool length or another method to register the adjustment values.
☞ P. 57, "Chapter 4 - Tool-length Offset"
Make the Program Settings
Use the stocker numbers specify which tools to use and when to use them.
Set the Z-axis Origin
It's a good idea to set the Z-axis origin only after you've registered the adjustment values. It's sucient to make the setting for just one of the tools in the magazine. For more information, refer to the following section.
☞ P. 68, "Example of Setting the Z-axis Origin"
Start Cutting
When you send the cutting data, the tool specied by the program is grasped and cutting starts. The tool-length oset is applied at this time, and the cutting-in depth stays the same even after changing to the next tool.
Example of Setting the Z-axis Origin
Procedure
Use manual tool-change to grasp any one of the tools.
You may grasp any tool whose adjustment value has already been registered.
Set the Z-axis origin for the gripped tool.
Do this regardless of whether blade alignment was performed manually or by using a tool sensor.
Return the tool to the magazine.

☞ P. 57, "Chapter 4 - Tool-length Offset"
Specify the Commands in the NC Program
Specify the tools to use by their stocker numbers. At the same time, also specify the oset numbers assigned to the correspond­ing stocker numbers. Depending on the NC program, oset No. 2, for example, may be assigned to stocker No. 1, making the settings complex. Normally you should assign oset No. 1 to stocker No. 1, oset No. 2 to stocker No. 2, and so on.
☞ "NC Code Reference Manual"
Set the Z-axis Origin
It's a good idea to set the Z-axis origin only after you've registered the adjustment values. It's sucient to make the setting for just one of the tools in the magazine. For more information, refer to the following section.
☞ P. 70, "Example of Setting the Z-axis Origin"

Important Note on Setting the Z-axis Origin
The procedure described above is valid only when oset No. 1 is assigned to stocker No. 1, oset No. 2 is assigned to stocker No. 2, and so on. Even when you want to make no associations between stocker numbers and oset numbers, it's necessary for the stocker number to be identical to the oset number for at least one tool. Set the Z-axis origin for a tool whose stocker number and oset number are the same.

Cleaning
WARNING
Before attempting cleaning, maintenance, or attachment or detachment of the air hose or any optional items, stop the supply of compressed air and allow the pressure to escape.
Allowing the equipment to remain under pressure poses a hazard of ying com­ponents.
WARNING
Never use a pneumatic blower.
This machine is not compatible with a pneumatic blower. Cutting waste may get
inside the machine and cause re or electrical shock.
WARNING
Never use a solvent such as gasoline, alcohol, or thinner to perform cleaning.
Doing so may cause re.
WARNING
Disconnect the power cord before performing cleaning or maintenance.
Attempting such operations while the machine is connected to a power source may result in injury or electrical shock.
WARNING
When using a vacuum cleaner to take up cutting waste, exercise caution to prevent
re or dust explosion.
Taking up ne cuttings using an ordinary vacuum cleaner may cause danger of re or explosion. Check with the manufacturer of the vacuum cleaner. When the
safety of use cannot be determined, clean using a brush or the like, without using the vacuum cleaner.
CAUTION
Caution: high temperatures.
The cutting tool and spindle motor become hot. Exercise caution to avoid re or
burns.
Carefully clean away cutting waste. Operating the machine with a large amount of cutting waste pres-
ent may cause malfunction.
Never apply lubrication anywhere except at specied locations. Never apply silicone substances (oil, grease, spray, etc.) to the machine. Doing so may cause poor
switch contact.
Bleeding Off Air Pressure
WARNING
Before attempting cleaning, maintenance, or attachment or detachment of the air hose or any optional items, stop the supply of compressed air and allow the pressure to escape.
Allowing the equipment to remain under pressure poses a hazard of ying com­ponents.
First, stop the supply of compressed air, and loosen the knob at the bottom of the air regula­tor a little at a time. Material may spray out of the drain at this time. Use a cloth or the like to catch the spray and keep it from scattering. After allow­ing the air to escape, retighten the knob.

7-3 What to Do If...
Important Notes on Performing Continuous Cutting for a Prolonged Period
When a Tool Holder Fails to Come Loose
Performing continuous cutting for a prolonged period with a single tool may cause the tool to fail to come loose from the spindle and interrupt cutting. This phenomenon is most likely to happen when the following four conditions all occur.
When the cutting load is large
When the end mill is comparatively thick (around 8 mm (0.3 in.)
or larger)
When cutting has been continued for an extended period
(around 24 hours or longer)
When the unit has been allowed to stand with the tool holder
remaining gripped for a prolonged period
How to Prevent the Problem
Make sure that the continuous cutting time using a single tool does not exceed 24 hours. Also, never allow the unit to stand with the tool holder remaining gripped for a prolonged period.
How to Correct the Problem If It Occurs
If the tool holder does not come loose, an error occurs and cut­ting is interrupted. If this happens, follow the procedure below to recover.
1. Shut down the modeling machine.
2. Start the modeling machine and tr y performing a forced release
of the tool.
☞ P. 50, "3-1 Starting and Quitting"
3. I f the tool does not come loose, lightly tap the front of the spindle
unit using a plastic hammer or wooden mallet.
Verication after Correcting the Problem
After correcting the problem, mount the tool holder in the stocker, then check to make sure the machine has correctly detected the tool holder. Operation is normal if the mounted tool is displayed in VPanel's main window.
The ATC doesn't operate.
Is the cable connected to the modeling machine?
Make sure the cable is connected securely. Also, make the con­nection while the power to the modeling machine is switched o and VPanel is shut down.
Is the compressed air at the correct pressure?
Check whether the pressure is within the specied values.
☞ P. 45, "2-6 Step 5: Supply Compressed Air"
Tool-change operations fail.
Are the tool holders mounted securely?
When mounting tool holders in stockers, t them in rmly, as far as they will go. Also check to make sure the locations where they are tted in are correct.
☞ P. 52, "3-2 Mounting the Tool Holders"
Have you adjusted the tool-change location?
If the adjustment is misaligned, correct tool-change is impos­sible. Try adjusting again.
☞ P. 46, "2-7 Step 6: Adjust the Tool-change Loca­tion"
Is the installation of the magazine unit appropriate?
If the mounted location of the magazine unit is misaligned, correct tool-change is impossible. Check the installed location again.
