5225-E P-(i)SAFETY PRECAUTIONSSAFETY PRECAUTIONSThe 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 accident-free 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 EnvironmentObserve 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 40C. The permissible ambient humidity range for the control enclosure is relative humidity 50%

or less at 40C (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.

5225-E P-(ii)SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

3. Precautions Relating to Operation

(1) After turning on the power, carry out inspection and adjustment in accordance with the daily

inspection procedure described in this instruction manual.

(2) Use tools whose dimensions and type are appropriate for the work undertaken and the machine specifications. Do not use badly worn tools since they can cause accidents.

(3) Do not, for any reason, touch the spindle or tool while spindle indexing is in progress since the spindle could rotate: this is dangerous.

(4) Check that the workpiece and tool are properly secured.

(5) Never touch a workpiece or tool while it is rotating: this is extremely dangerous.

(6) Do not remove chips by hand while machining is in progress since this is dangerous. Always stop the machine first, then remove the chips with a brush or broom.

(7) Do not operate the machine with any of the safety devices removed. Do not operate the machine with any of the covers removed unless it is necessary to do so.

(8) Always stop the machine before mounting or removing a tool.

(9) Do not approach or touch any moving part of the machine while it is operating.

(10) Do not touch any switch or button with wet hands. This is extremely dangerous.

(11) Before using any switch or button on the operation panel, check that it is the one intended.

4. Precautions Relating to the ATC(1) The tool clamps of the magazine, spindle, etc., are designed for reliability, but it is possible that

a tool could be released and fall in the event of an unforeseen accident, exposing you to danger: do not touch or approach the ATC mechanism during ATC operation.

(2) Always inspect and change tools in the magazine in the manual magazine interrupt mode.

(3) Remove chips adhering to the magazine at appropriate intervals since they can cause misoperation. Do not use compressed air to remove these chips since it will only push the chips further in.

(4) If the ATC stops during operation for some reason and it has to be inspected without turning the power off, do not touch the ATC since it may start moving suddenly.

5. 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.

5225-E P-(iii)SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

6. Precautions during Maintenance Inspection and When

Trouble OccursIn order to prevent unforeseen accidents, damage to the machine, etc., it is essential to observe the following points when performing maintenance 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.

5225-E P-(iv)SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(11) Periodic Inspection of the Control Enclosurea. Cleaning the cooling unitThe 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.

7. 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.

General Points Relating to Animation(1) Animation speedThere is a limit on the feedrate that can be displayed by the animation function.If the feedrate exceeds this limit during animation, the message ANIM. SPEED OVER is displayed, and removal of stock and the tool path are not shown.To clear the ANIM. SPEED OVER error, perform one of the following:

Select [F4] (ERASE). Reset the NC. Change the range or angle.

Fig.1-3 Screen Display by ANIM. SPEED OVER

High-speed Drawing

High-speed drawing takes place by selecting [F7] (HIGH DRAW) from the function menu with the machine lock activated. ON/OFF setting for the single block function is valid during high-speed drawing.

ME32095R1200300040001


Cutting Time DisplayThe execution time of a program differs depending on whether or not the machine lock function is set.

(1) Machine lock function ONLength of timer required for axis movements is calculated at the completion of each block and added. In this calculation, the time spent for the execution of S, T, M commands and G04 is disregarded.Cutting time is calculated based on the feedrates that are obtained by programmed F value x override value (the value valid at the start of a block). For rapid feed operation, time is calculated assuming override setting of 100%.

(2) Machine lock function OFFTotal machine operating time is calculated.

Selection of Material Shape and Tool Shape

The material shape and tool shape used for the 3D animated simulation function are included in all programs created using the IGF function, so they are automatically set when a program created using the IGF function is called.

[Supplement]

System Variables

The following system variables can be referred to and updated from an NC program.

Return Search

It is possible to designate if tool path during return search is drawn in 3D animation by selecting [F2] (RESTART) or by the procedure for selecting return search from [F1] (MAIN PRG_OPER).

[Supplement]

When the tool shape has to be changed, refer to 1-3. Tool Shape Definition in this subsection 3D Animated Simulation.

Application of System Variable System Variable Name Possible Settings

Section designation VSCTA 0 (Non-sectional display)1 Y-Z plane2 Z-X plane3 X-Y plane

Section position designation VSCTXVSCTYVSCTZ

-99999.999 ~ 99999.999-99999.999 ~ 99999.999-99999.999 ~ 99999.999

Transparent display designation

VTRSP 0 Standard display1 Transparent display

If return search tool path is drawn, it will take a longer time than the time required for return search without 3D animation drawing.


Processing at the Selection of NC ProgramIt is possible to set whether or not automatic scaling and material drawing are automatically executed after reading the NC program. This setting is made when selecting NC program.

Other Considerations

When the graphic display is displayed in a pop-up window by selecting the ANIMATE ON/OFF function key on screens other than the ANIMATED SIMULATION screen, such as the ACTUAL POSITION screen and program display screens, the type of display (2D or 3D) is determined by the mode selected on the ANIMATED SIMULATION screen.


1-1-2. Items Displayed on the Animated Simulation ScreenX, Y, ZIndicate the actual value of the individual axes in the work coordinate system.Symbol of - is displayed for the axis for which the mirror image is ON.

S, Co, H, DIndicate the spindle speed (S), the work coordinate system number (Co), the tool length offset number (H) and the cutter radius compensation number (D).

TIndicates the actual tool number and the next tool number.

FmIndicates the feedrate.

CUTTING TIMEIndicates the cutting time. Cutting time varies depending on whether or not the machine lock function is on.Machine lock function ON: Length of timer required for axis movements is calculated at the completion of each block and added. In this calculation, the time spent for the execution of S, T, M commands and G04 is disregarded. Cutting time is calculated based on the feedrates that are obtained by programmed F value x override value (the value valid at the start of a block). For rapid feed operation, time is calculated assuming override setting of 100%.Machine lock function OFF: Total machine operating time is counted. Note that the cutting time data is not cleared until the cycle start switch is pressed at the start of a program.

TRACE/ANIMATEIndicate the present mode of the graphic display screen.

Both TRACE and ANIMATED highlightedThe tool path, material, and tool are displayed, and stock removal is also shown.

Only TRACE highlightedOnly the tool path is displayed.

Only ANIMATE highlightedThe material and tool are displayed, and stock removal is also shown.The tool path is not displayed.

(scale)The line segment and a number shown at the bottom of the graphic data display area indicate the scale. The number shows the length, in the graphic coordinate system, of the displayed line segment.


1-1-3. Coordinate Systems for Graphic DisplayThe coordinate system used for graphic display depends on the machine type, H type or V type.

Coordinate system for V type machinesThe coordinate system where the Z-axis is taken as the vertical axis is assumed.

Coordinate system for H type machinesThe coordinate system where the Y-axis is taken as the vertical axis is assumed.

GRAPHIC DATAWhen [F3] (GRAPHIC DATA) is selected, the GRAPHIC DATA pop-up window is displayed.Environment for graphic drawing is set at the GRAPHIC DATA pop-up window.

[Supplement]

Data setting method is described below.

Selection of input fieldsTo change the data setting pages, use the page keys.To select the data input field within the same data setting page, use the cursor keys.

Inputting the dataFor inputting the data, either the value to be set is selected or a numeric value is directly input.

Input by selectionWhen the data item requires you to select the appropriate value, [F1] (MENU) is displayed in the function menu.Select [F1] (MENU) to display the selection items in the function menu. The item to be input should be selected from the displayed selection items.

Direct numeric value inputWhen the data item requires direct input of a numeric value, use the function menu ([F1] (SET) and [F2] (ADD)) as needed.Select the function menu first, input the numeric value and press the WRITE key.The function menu items provide the following function.

The GRAPHIC DATA window consists of six data setting pages.Page 4 and succeeding pages contain the items that are not used frequently. If PAGE LIMIT is set for EXIST displayed in page 3, pages 4 and later are not displayed.

[F1] (SET) The input value (the value displayed in the input buffer area) is directly used as the setting value.

[F2] (ADD) The input value (the value displayed in the input buffer area) is added to the presently set value to be set.

FRAME MOVING UNIT IN AREA CHANGE (dot)Set the distance (dot unit) the scale frame moves at each pressing of the page key after selecting [F2] (AREA CHANGE).

RATIO OF ROOM AREA IN AUTO SCALE (%)Set the margin of the drawing area that is obtained by the selection of [F7] (AUTO SCALE) as the ratio to the material.

ANGLE CHANGE PITCHSet the angle of rotation that corresponds to rotation by one pressing of a cursor key in the mode selected by pressing [F3] (ANGLE CHANGE).

ME32095R1200300250001

The frame moves by the set number of dots.

ME32095R1200300250002


AUTO SCALEWhen AUTO SCALE is selected, the material that is assigned the same spindle position and the rotary axis set at the GRAPHIC DATA window is searched from the registered materials, the graphic drawing area is automatically calculated and determined based on the material data.If necessary, margin can be taken around the material. This area can be set by percent to the material drawing area at the GRAPHIC DATA window.The auto scale function is valid only for the display given when automatic scaling is executed.If the material assigned the same conditions is not registered, No blank data error occurs.

HIGH DRAW

The high-speed drawing executes animated simulation at high speed.This function is valid when the machine lock function is ON in the automatic or MDI operation mode.Each time [F7] (HIGH DRAW) is selected, high-speed drawing mode is turned on and off.In the HIGH DRAW mode, animated drawing is executed for each block and path, envelope and enveloped figure are drawn in this order. The position tool is not drawn.The HIGH DRAW mode is cleared when the NC is reset or the program end command is executed.

[Supplement]

In the HIGH DRAW mode, G00 mode movement is executed in linear interpolation like G01. Therefore, the drawn path differs from the actual tool path.


AREA CHANGEThe area change function allows the drawing area where graphic is displayed to be set while viewing graphic display. The results of area change processing are displayed on the AREA CHANGE pop-up window.

Fig.1-15 AREA CHANGE Pop-up Window

Change the drawing area by moving the scale frame and the view point marker (+) using the page keys and the cursor keys.The scale frame is enlarged or reduced around the view point marker according to the selection of function menu [F1] (MAGNI.) and [F2] (REDUCE) or the pressing of the page keys.If a key is held pressed, the scale frame is continuously enlarged or reduced.The scale frame moves around the center according to the pressing of a cursor key. The direction of movement is the same as the direction represented by the cursor keys. The scale frame can be moved continuously by holding the cursor key.

[F1] (MAGNI.) or page key (): Enlarge (object in narrower range is drawn.) [F2] (REDUCE) or page key (): Reduction (object in wider range is drawn.)

[Supplement]

The drawing area may be enlarged up to 10 times the present range. However, it cannot be enlarged exceeding the limit of drawing area of 4.000 mm.The drawing area may be reduced up to 1/10 times the present range. However, it cannot be reduced exceeding the limit of drawing area of 9999.999 mm.
