SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1 WARNING, CAUTION, AND NOTE

This manual includes safety precautions for protecting the user and preventing damage to the machine. Precautions are classified into Warning and Caution according to their bearing on safety. Also, supplementary information is described as a Note. Read the Warning, Caution, and Note thoroughly before attempting to use the machine.

WARNING

Applied when there is a danger of the user being injured or when there is a damage of both the user being injured and the equipment being damaged if the approved procedure is not observed.

B-62694ENlOQ

CAUTION

Applied when there is a danger of the equipment being damaged, if the approved procedure is not observed.

NOTE

The Note is used to indicate supplementary information other than Warning and Caution.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL WARNINGS AND NOTES

WARNING

1. Before operating the machine, thoroughly check the entered data. Operating the machine with incorrect data may result in the machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.

2. Never attempt to perform a production run, such as actually machining a workpiece, without first checking the operation of the machine. a production run, ensure that the program command values, offsets, current position, external signals, and other settings are suitable for the operation to be performed. Also check that the machine operates correctly by performing a trial run using, for example, the single block,

feedrate override, or machine lock function or by operating the machine with neither a tool nor workpiece mounted.

3. Ensure that the specified feedrate is appropriate for the

intended operation. a maximum allowable feedrate. feedrate varies with the intended operation. manual provided with the machine to determine the maximum allowable feedrate. than the correct speed, it may behave unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.

4. When using a tool compensation function, thoroughly check the direction and amount of compensation. Operating the machine with incorrectly specified data may result in the machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.

5. The parameters for the CNC and PMC are factory-set. Usually, there is not need to change them. When, however, there is not alternative other than to change a parameter, ensure that you fully understand the function of the parameter before making any change. Failure to set a parameter correctly may result in the machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.

WARNING

Immediately after switching on the power, do not touch any of the keys on the MDI panel until the position display or alarm screen appears on the CNC unit. Some of the keys on the MDI panel are dedicated to maintenance or other special operations.

Pressing any of these keys may cause the machine to behave unexpectedly.

The operator’s manual supplied with a CNC unit provide an overall description of the machine’s functions, including any optional functions. will vary from one machine model to another.

Note that the optional functions

some functions described in the manuals may not actually

be available for a particular model.

Check the

specification of the machine if in doubt.

Some machine operations and screen functions may have been implemented at the request of the machinetool builder. When using such functions, refer to the manual supplied by the machine-tool builder for details of their use and any related cautions.

NOTE

1. Command programs, parameters, and variables are stored in nonvolatile memory in the CNC unit. Usually, they are retained even if the power is turned off. Such data may be deleted inadvertently, however, or it may prove necessary to delete all data from nonvolatile memory as part of error recovery.

To guard against the occurrence of the above, and assure

quick restoration of deleted data, backup all vital data, and keep the backup copy in a safe place.
