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 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 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.
5309-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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
6. 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 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.
5309-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.
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.
(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 high-
voltage 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.

2. Chuck (jig) pressure switching
2-1. No. 1 chuck (jig)

(1) Outline
The clamping pressure for the first chuck (jig) can be switched between high and low levels.
• If the Chuck Clamp command is given using the pushbutton or code M148 or from the
robot/loader with the workpiece unclamped, the workpiece is clamped at the high pressure.
• Giving the M148 command with the workpiece clamped at the low pressure changes the
pressure from the low to the high level.
Giving the Chuck Clamp command using the pushbutton or from the robot/loader with the
workpiece clamped at the low pressure does not changes the pressure.
• Giving the Chuck Unclamp command using the pushbutton or code M149 or from the
robot/loader also gives the high pressure command.
• An M code command for low pressure clamping (M385) has been added. The Chuck
Clamp command accompanies the low pressure command.
Purpose: A higher clamping force may deform the workpice and consequently affects the
machining accuracy. Using the high pressure for rough grinding and the low pres-
sure for finishing improves the machining accuracy.
(2) Conditions for supporting the function

The chuck pressure switching function is supported when the fixture control is effective and the
following parameter set to "1."
Machine user parameter No.15-3 CHUCK, SIT CONFIRMATION, TAILSTOCK
27 High/low chuck pressure is made switchable.
0...Chuck pressure is not switchable.

Note
• With the workpiece unclamped, the M340 command does not turn the work sit condition monitor
on and will be immediately answered.
This only applies when the chuck is provided.
• The M340 command is immediately answered when the work sit condition monitor is on and the
M341 command is immediately answered when it is off.
• The commands are ignored and immediately answered when the machine has been locked.
1-2. Entering the sit condition monitoring mode

The work sit condition monitoring mode can be entered in either of the following ways.
(1) The M340 command starts the workpiece seating air blow (answered) and, after the timer (see
section 7 "Seating Timer") counts up, initiates the sit condition monitoring mode where the work
sit confirmation signal is checked.
(2) If the Chuck Clamp PB command is accepted with the sit condition monitor switch on, it starts
the workpiece seating air blow and, after the workpiece is completely clamped and the timer
(see section 7 "Seating Timer") counts up, initiates the sit condition monitoring mode where the
work sit confirmation signal is checked.
This only applies when the chuck is provided.
The sit condition monitor is activated in either of the aforementioned ways and operates as
described below depending on the status of the work sit confirmation signal at that time.
• Sit condition confirmation signal: On

...The system starts continuously monitoring the sit condition confirmation signal.
(The air blow does not turn off.)
• Sit condition confirmation signal: Off

2: The closing of the door was not confirmed.
MC SYSTEM PARAMETER DOOR

1 Door open/close watching timer
Default: 0
Min. value: 1
Max. value: 600
Programmable unit: 0.1 sec
Note
If the parameter is set to 0, it will be reset to the maximum value (600).
1-4. Notes
• The SOL remains off while alarm A is pending or the power is saved.
• The power-off condition is retained and the SOL is kept on during power-up.
Note that, after alarm A is released or the power saving mode is exited or during power-up, the
SOL only turns on when the command and confirmation LS have the same status.
In other words, the Door Open SOL turns on if the "Door Open" LS is found to be on after the
system is powered off and on with the operation door open.
If the "Door Open" LS is found to be off, the Door Open SOL turns off.
In this case, the SOL turns on when an M code command is given.

2. Operation door closing operation with both hands
2-1. Linking the dual-palm starting and operation door closing

sequences
To prevent inadvertent operations and ensure the safety, the system can only be started by pressing
two start buttons with both hands. The two pushbuttons include the NC Start and dual-palm start
buttons.
The start command and operation door closing sequence are linked with each other to eliminate the
need for closing the operation door and improve the operability.
When the operation door is closed, the safety, which is the purpose of the dual-palm start button,
has been ensured and the system can be started with one hand as in usual cases.
(1) Pre-requisite conditions

The dual-palm start button is effective under the condition described below.
The operation door is open in the automatic operation mode and either of the following
conditions exists.
• Starting at the head of the program.
• Starting after M00/M01.
Note that the dual-palm start button is ineffective under the condition described below
even if the above conditions are met.
• The "robot/loader standby position" (iRTRF_b) has been set to "0" for type B or C
robot/loader interface in the linked mode.
With machine user parameter "Robot/loader interface," 2 "Makes cycle start & robot
standby position interlock ineffective" set to "1," the above condition will be
ignored.
(2) Specifications
If both the NC Start button and dual-palm start button are pressed, the operation door closes.
After the door completely closes (the "Door Close" LS turns on), the both inputs turn off to start
the NC.
The NC Start button and dual-palm start button input signals should turn on/off one second later
or earlier than the other.
Note
This function is only effective when the operation door is not closed. With the door closed, single-
palm starting applies as in usual cases.

5309-E P-60
a. Turning-on timing of NC Start and dual-palm start buttons

The one should be pressed within a second after the other is pressed. The door closes if
both are pressed within a second.
If the one is not pressed within a second after the other is pressed, the operation door does
not close and the NC does not start. In this case, the following alarm message appears.
"4727 Alarm D Dual palm cycle start 1"
Code 1: The two start pushbuttons do not become activated within one second.
This alarm is released when both pushbutton inputs turn off.
b. Turning-off timing of NC Start and dual-palm start buttons

With the operation door closed, the one should be pressed within a second after the other
is pressed. The NC starts if both are pressed within a second.
If the one is not pressed within a second after the other is pressed, the NC does not start
(the operation door remains closed). In this case, the following alarm message appears
(after the elapse of one second).
"4727 Alarm D Dual palm cycle start 2"
Code 2: The two start pushbuttons do not become inactivated within one second.
This alarm is released when the NC is reset or started next as described below.
(As the operation door has been closed, the NC can be started next with one hand only.)
ME61048R0200600050002
c. If either turns off before the operation door completely closes (the "Door Closed" LS turns
on), the door stops closing and starts opening to prevent the NC from starting.
5309-E P-61
(3) Sequences under special conditions
a. If the door closing sequence is not linked, the NC Start signal turns on without performing
the door closing sequence.
[Prerequisite conditions]
This applies under the following conditions with the operation door open.
• Starting in the MDI mode.
• Starting in the manual operation mode.
• One of the following conditions exists in the automatic operation mode.
• Starting with the machine locked.
• Starting by sequence number search or cursor search.
• Starting after completion of block search by return search operation with the
predominant sequence return function.
• Starting after internal operation stop by the predominant sequence return func-
tion.
• Starting after sequence return.
• Starting with Single Block on.
* Note that, for starting at the head of the program or after M00/M11, the door closes
as usual even with Single Block on.
• Starting after a pause.
[Content of sequence]
A signal rise triggers the start.
The off-timing is not checked. Only the on-timing is checked.
ME61048R0200600050003
b. Single-palm starting
With the door closed, the NC starts when the NC Start button is pressed.
• The dual-palm start button input will be ignored.

(The NC does not start if the dual-palm start button is pressed.)
• For type S door interlock, the NC does not start if the NC Start button is pressed after
power-up with the door closed.
5309-E P-62
c. For type B or C robot/loader interface

For the conditions for starting via the robot/loader interface, see Section 1 "Specifications
for Robot/loader Interface."
2-2. Operation door closing operation with both hands

(1) Outline
The door close pushbuttons should need to be operated with both hands to prevent entangle-
ment by the door.
The two pushbuttons include the Door Close and dual-palm start buttons.
Note
The Door Open button is operated with one hand as usual (should be pressed solely).
(2) Specifications
If the time lag between the two inputs used for dual-palm door closing operation does not
exceed one second, the Door Close signal turns on.
If either or both of the two inputs turn off before the "Door Closed" LS turns on, the "Door
Closed" LS remains off and the Door Open signal turns on.
After the "Door Closed" LS turns on, the Door Close signal remains on regardless of the status
of the two inputs.
If the time lag between the two inputs used for dual-palm door closing operation exceeds one
second, the following alarm message appears and the operation door does not close.
"4728 Alarm D Dual palm operation 1"
(3) Door status monitoring

If the relevant limit switch does not respond to the Door Open/Close command (Door Open/
Close SOL) within the time preset by the parameter, the following alarm message appears and
the Door Open/Close SOL turns off.
"1738 Alarm A Door open/close answer *" (*: code)
Code 1: The opening of the door was not confirmed.

2: The closing of the door was not confirmed.
MC SYSTEM PARAMETER DOOR

1 Door open/close watching timer
Default: 0
Min. value: 1
Max. value: 600
Programmable unit: 0.1 sec
Note
If the parameter is set to 0, it will be reset to the maximum value (600).
5309-E P-63
2-3. Ineffective M code commands

For the system where dual-palm starting and door closing sequences are linked, the door closing
sequence starts as the dual-palm start button is pressed and, after confirmation of the door closed
condition, the Program Start command is accepted.
Therefore, the M code Door Close command in the program becomes unnecessary.
The M code command is made ineffective to prevent entanglement, which would occur if the M code
Door Close command remains effective.
[Specifications]
The M code Door Close command (M32) is ignored without raising an alarm (immediately
answered).
Note that the M code Door Close command (M32) remains effective for the robot/loader inter-
face type in the linked mode.
Note that the M code Door Open command remains effective in any case.
3. Prevention of entanglement by automatic operation door

A rubber switch is provided at the contact part of the door edge and its status is continuously moni-
tored to prevent entanglement by the operation door.
3-1. Content of sequence

(1) Front safety rubber switch check upon the issue of Door Close command
If entanglement has been detected when the Door Close command is given, the following alarm
message appears and the door does not close regardless of the operation mode.
"1723 Alarm A Door interlock 10"
(2) Front safety rubber switch check during door closing sequence
If entanglement is detected during the door closing sequence, the door stops closing and starts
opening regardless of the operation mode.
• The door opening sequence ends when the "Door Open" LS turns on or the RESET button
is pressed.
• After the door opening sequence is cancelled by the rubber safety door switch:
a. If the M code Door Close command is given:

If the Open command is given from the robot/loader:
"1723 Alarm A Door interlock 11"
b. If the Door Close command is given using the pushbutton, no alarm is raised.
When the door opening sequence is triggered by the rubber safety door switch input,
the door continues to open until the "Door Open" LS turns on regardless of the
pushbutton status.

APC operation OK When “Pallet on APC” is ON in the link mode, this
[iPWOK] signal notifies the NC that the work is ready. If this
signal goes OFF when the “System link mode” is
ON, the NC immediately stops the APC operation.
• When the APC operation OK signal goes
OFF during APC operation in the system link
mode, the following alarm occurs:
“1774 Alarm A Robot/loader state 20”

• If the APC operation OK signal is OFF in the
system link mode, the NC inhibits APC man-
ual operations such as 1 cycle, return cycle,
and 1 step operation, and turns OFF the APC
operation enable LED.
However, when “1” is set at item “3. Axis

move:STANDBY POS. I/L is made effective” of

This section describes the operation and behavior of a semi-dry unit (Bluebe EcoBooster EP Series).
1. Semi-Dry Coolant
1-1. Related Commands

The semi-dry coolant discharge can be specified with “the M code command and RT command in
the same block” or “manual operation”.
Regardless of whether the command is given with M code or by manual operation, the last-specified
command remains effective.
1-2. M Code Command and RT Command in the Same Block
1-2-1. M Code Commands
During/after axis During machine

M code Description Sequence restart
movement lock
During axis move- Immediate answer Immediate answer
M285 Semi-dry coolant ON
ment without action without action
Immediate answer Immediate answer
M09 Semi-dry coolant OFF After axis movement
without action without action
1-2-2. RT Command
On receiving an RT command, the machine turns ON and OFF the pump-driving solenoid valve and
supplies oil by the amount required for the purpose of machining.
The pump ON/OFF intervals (pump operation frequency) can be specified in 10 steps.
Command Format
Specify the RT command by entering RT=* (*: an integer between 1 and 10 inclusive) in the block
which includes M285 in the part program.
The larger is the RT command value, the more frequent is the pump operation. This results in
increase in the oil supply amount.
[Example command format]

M285 RT=4
Improper Command Alarm
If the RT value is less than 1 or larger than 10, the following alarm occurs and retains the RT
command specified before occurrence of the alarm.
Alarm B 2784 Data word: RT*

Code*: Improper command value in hexadecimals
5309-E P-87
1-2-3. Pump Operation
When the RT command is normally executed (without alarm 2874) by oil mist ON signal, the
machine turns ON and OFF the oil mist unit according to the RT command.
The initial RT command value is “4”.
When the power is turned OFF and then ON, the RT value becomes the value specified last.
1-2-4. Pump Operation Timing at Each RT Setting
The diagram below shows the pump ON/OFF timing at each RT value.

1-3. Manual Operation

Press the [MIST] switch on the additional panel, and press [F3] (SEMI DRY THRU). The machine
discharges semi-dry coolant. The pump operation frequency conforms to the RT value specified
last.
Manual operation is not affected by the selected NC operation mode.

ALL COOLANTS OFF button

ME61048R0200900100001
• When the above panel button is pressed, the machine turns off the semi-dry coolant output.
When this button is pressed again, the machine restarts discharging the semi-dry coolant.
• If the semi-dry coolant ON command is issued when all the coolants are stopped, the machine
ignores the command. In this case, press the ALL COOLANTS OFF button and then issue the
semi-dry coolant ON command.
* If the semi-dry coolant OFF command is issued before canceling the temporary stop of all
the coolants, the machine does not output the semi-dry coolant even if the ALL COOLANTS
OFF button is pressed.
• The coolant temporary stop ON/OFF state is backed up, and the last command remains
effective after the power is re-supplied.
5309-E P-89
1-5. Linkage with Chip Conveyor

When “1” is set at the following parameter, the machine rotates the internal conveyor in forward
direction while the semi-dry coolant signal is ON.
Machine User Parameter COOLANT

Chip conveyor turn on with dry coolant
0: Chip conveyor is not linked with dry coolant.
42
1: Chip conveyor is linked with dry coolant.
Initial value: 0
1-6. Semi-Dry Unit Low Level Alarm

The following alarm occurs if the oil mist unit level normal signal kept OFF for three seconds or
longer during activation of the semidry coolant unit.
3728 Alarm C Oil mist unit

Code 2-> The oil mist level normal signal kept OFF for more than three seconds when an oil mist
command was issued.
