6) – MACHINE ORIGINS
The origins correspond to the departure points of each axis (axis reference). These
origins are generated automatically by sensors on the machine (see Chapter 3.1.4) –
st
sensors). The reference of the 1 tool and the stopping point for worn grinders are
obtained manually.
To gain access to the origins page, the 1st tool reference and the modification of the
stop point position for worn grinders, when you are on the "home" page, press key
R4. This will bring you to an intermediate page. On this page, press key R4 again to
go to the "machine origins" page.

R10 - Activation or deactivation of 1 tool reference mode .........................
6.1) - X, Y AND Z AXIS ORIGINS
The origins are obtained automatically. The machine shall be positioned very close
to the stops, as the machine travels by about 3m/min.
Two cases must be considered :

- If the storing unit stand in the middle or on the left of the work station on axis X, the
machine should be on the right of the storing unit (looking at the rear rail support).
- If the storing unit stands on the right of the workstation the machine should be left of
the storing unit exit before the start of the origin cycle.
If you use the Z stop, you shall select, through key R7, the stop type of use you want
before the start of the origins.
If you disable the Z stop, this one will go down to its lower position while the other
origin will take place.
If stop Z is activated, the stop Z origin will start first, followed by the other X and Y
origins.
If you have not the optional Z stop, only the origins of axes X and Y shall be dealt
with.
To start the origin cycle, press key F2 “cycle start”, the drawings in the page will
come to life and the origins will take place.
If you have only the origins to deal with, you are able to quit the page by pressing key
R9. If not, see the next two chapters.
0523 02 21 002 Page 25

st
6.2) - REFERENCE OF 1 TOOL IN MAGAZINE
If the machine is equipped with a magazine with automatic tool change, define the
st
position of the 1 tool in the magazine. This reference does not need to be reset
st
systematically after the origins. That is why, after setting the reference of the 1 tool,
note the value of words MW50 and MW51. If their respective values do not change,
st
there is no point redoing the 1 tool reference.
To set the 1st tool reference, it is advisable to remove the tool under the spindle so as
to simulate the pickup of the 1st tool.
The 1st tool in the magazine is the one closest to the wall rail and on the left for a
central and lefthand magazine. For a righthand magazine, the 1st tool is the one
closest to the righthand console side.
Activate the 1st tool reference mode with key R10 (the red LED lights up and the red
LED of the R6 VAL key flashes). Move the machine manually in the magazine,
taking care not to knock against anything because the movements are free, as
far as the end point of the magazine. Position the tool in its location as accurately
as possible, then validate (using key R6 VAL) this new position. The values of MW50
and MW51 will change. At this time, you can exit from the magazine in manual
mode.
Caution: Remember to lift the head before exiting the magazine and pay
attention to manual movements in the magazine.
If you only require to set the 1st tool reference, you can exit from the page by pressing
key R9. Otherwise, see the following chapter.
On exit from the page, the 1st tool reference mode is cancelled automatically.
If you want to deactivate the 1st tool reference mode, press key R10 a second time.
0523 02 21 002 Page 26

6.3) – MACHINE STOPPING POINT POSITION FOR WORN GRINDERS OR AT
CYCLE END
For various reasons, the "machine stopping point" for worn grinding stones or at
cycle end may be unsuitable. Therefore, we make it possible to change this stopping
point and put it where you want it. The stopping point on the righthand side and on
the left-hand side of the magazine may differ in the case of a central magazine.
To modify the stopping point, activate the mode with key R8 (the red LED lights up
and the red LED of the R6 VAL key flashes). Move the machine on the work site to
the desired point and validate the new position with key R6 VAL. The values of
words MW848 and MW849 will change.
For the machine to stop at its origin, MW848 and MW849 must be set to zero.
Therefore, to cancel a point on the work site, activate the mode. Then, once the red
LED of key R4 is flashing, press key R4. The point will be canceled and will become
the machine origin.
If you only need to modify the machine stopping point, you can exit from the page by
pressing key R9. Otherwise, see the previous chapter.
On exit from the page the “Machine stopping point” is cancelled automatically.
If you want to deactivate the "machine stopping point" mode, press key R8 a second
time.
0523 02 21 002 Page 27

6.4)-MEASURE OF THE TOOL ON Z AXIS FOR CALIBRATION
To do so, when you are in page “welcome”, press key R4 to go first to an

intermediate page. Then press key R7 to reach the wanted pages.
R7 - From the intermediate page = access to page : Measure of the tool
On Z axis for calibration. .........................................................................................
This function allows to settle the tool height in relation to the table for the calibration
of the work piece by the wanted height.
This tool measure has to be made from an accurate place previously chosen on the
table as a reference. You shall notice in the page after the word MW67 : the wanted
dimension between the reference table point and the height of the work piece. This
value may be quoted by tenth of millimeter. The value of MW67maybe different on
the right or left side of the workstation, as far as a central storing unit is concerned.
One measure point is enough for one side. Then you must go to the other side, go
back to above page and just change the value of the word MW67 corresponding to
this present side.
To start this cycle of measures, the abrasive 0 must be under the spindle, the you
press key F2 “cycle start”. The measure is obtained automatically. The cycle is over
when the head has moved back to the slider top.
Quit the page by pressing key R9.
0523 02 21 002 Page 28

7) CONFIGURATION OF MAGAZINE
For access to the "magazine configuration" page, when you are on the "home" page,
you must press key R7. This will bring you to an intermediate page. On this page,
press key R3 to go to the machine configuration page.
R3 - On the intermediate page = magazine configuration page access ....
The table does not represent the arrangement of the magazine but is a simple way of
determining the abrasives in each position.
When the machine seeks a tool from the magazine, the tool choice is made by
abrasive and then by its state of wear. Priority goes to a tool that has been started
and second priority to a new tool if there is none already in course. A worn tool will
never be taken from the magazine. It would be necessary to change the grinders
and declare it as new in the logic controller (see Chapter 15.3) – CONTROL OF
WORN GRINDERS IN MAGAZINE).
To set the magazine configuration, opposite each location used, chose the abrasive
you have put in the magazine. The choice is obtained with the lists of graphic
objects. There are 9 possible abrasives ranging from 0 to 8 and an unused location
declaration to stipulate that the location is not being used.
0523 02 21 002 Page 29

You can have as many locations as you want with the same abrasive.
It is essential to give the logic controller the information that the location is not
being used for any free location in the magazine.
In the magazine configuration, it is absolutely essential to declare all the universal

joint tools, because the principle of starting for the work-piece is different. For more
information about the universal joint, see Chapter 19) – UNIVERSAL JOINT.
To establish the configuration of the magazine with universal joints, opposite each
location used with a universal joint, declare whether it concerns a universal joint by
means of the graphic objects lists (add a cross).
It is absolutely prohibited to declare two different tools with the same abrasive.
The machine would take the 1st abrasive started, whether it is a universal joint
or not.
To exit from the page, press key R10. This will bring you to the abrasives
configuration page.

8) – ABRASIVE CONFIGURATION
To have access to the page “abrasives configuration”, when you are in the page
"welcome", just press key R7. you obtain an intermediate page. From this page,
press key R5 to go to page “ abrasives configuration”.
R5 - On the intermediate page = access to abrasive configuration page ..
8.1) – DIAMETER, OVERRIDING, WATERINGS.
R6 - Configuration of the values for the automatic reduction of work

pieces ........................................................................................................
R8 - access to Page: setting heads type B ...............................................
R10 - Access to next page..........................................................................
0523 02 21 002 Page 31

The configuration is based on the abrasive. Without a tool change, it will follow the
abrasive in the course of polishing. Therefore, it is impossible to have two tools with
the same abrasive and different data.
The machine must be informed of the diameter and the desired overrun for each
abrasive, because apprenticeship is on the outside of the work-pieces. The spindle
watering type has to be selected :
• 0 = No spindle watering
• 1 = Watering with electro valve Nr 1
If your machine has only one electro valve, choice is made between 0 and 1.
For each abrasive, you also have to choose if you wish the return washing.
The diameter, overflow and the choice of spindle watering are adjusted with digital
values in millimeters, whereas the choice of the return washing draws on lists of
graphic objects. To confirm the return washing, choose the cross.
Key R6 gains access to the values adjustment page for automatic reduction of pieces
size per abrasive.
Key R8 gains access to the head B time delay adjustment per abrasive page.
Key R10 gains access to the spindle rotation speed adjustment page or ensures exit
from the configuration mode if the machine is equipped with a single-speed motor
(see Chapter 8.3.).
If a universal joint is mounted under the spindle, adjustments will be made identically,
but with a panel reserved for universal joints. All the configurations for the universal
joint will be memorized separately and will be accessible if a universal joint is
mounted under the spindle.

8.2) - TYPE B HEAD ADJUSTMENT
R6 - Activation of head B adjustment mode ..............................................
R8 - Direct access to adjustment abrasive selection text ..........................
R9 - Return to previous page ....................................................................
The type B heads operate with a working time and a rest time. For heads of the
same type, the adjustment is the same, but it is possible to mix heads of different
types in the same magazine. That is why the adjustment is by abrasive. However, if
you use the same type of head for all the different abrasives, set the same time for all
the abrasives.
0523 02 21 002 Page 33

To obtain type B head oscillation during polishing, you must select (using key R1) the
desired abrasive or abrasives using a type B head.
The working time and rest time are adjusted in seconds using digital values.
It is possible (for a given abrasive) to check the adjustment of head B. Press key R6
to activate the adjustment mode (the red LED of the key lights up). With key R8,
select the list of graphic for choosing the abrasive you want to check and choose the
desired abrasive. At this time, the head mounted on the machine will oscillate around
the values linked with the selected abrasive. If necessary, modify the working time or
the rest time of the chosen abrasive. You will see immediately that the oscillation will
change. Repeat the operation for all the desired abrasives. Press key R6 to
deactivate the type B head adjustment mode. On exit from the page, this mode will
also be deactivated.
To exit from the page, press key R9 which will bring you to the abrasives
configuration page.
8.3) – SPINDLE ROTATION SPEED
There are three possible cases for flat polishers. Single-speed motors, two-speed
motors and motors with frequency variation. Depending on the option of your
machine, when you are on the abrasive configuration page, pressing key R10 will
bring you either to the adjustment page or to the 1st intermediate page.
R10 - access to next page ..........................................................................
8.3.1) – Single-speed motor
For a machine with a single-speed spindle motor, there is no available adjustment.
0523 02 21 002 Page 34

8.3.2) – Dual-speed motor
The choice of spindle running speed is made using the graphic objects lists. The
choice is made on the high speed column. The choice corresponds to the selected
speed.
R9 - Return to previous page (abrasives configuration page) ...................
R10 - access to next page (1st intermediate page) .....................................
If a universal joint is mounted under the spindle, adjustments will be made in the
same way, but with a table reserved for universal joints. All the configurations for the
universal joint will be memorized separately and will be accessible if a universal joint
is mounted under the spindle.
0523 02 21 002 Page 35

8 3.3) – Motor with frequency variation
The choice of spindle running speed is obtained with digital values in rpm. Simply
write the desired speed against the desired abrasive.
R9 - Return to previous page (abrasives configuration page) ...................
R10 - access to next page (1st intermediate page) ....................................
If a universal joint is mounted under the spindle, adjustments will be in the same way,
but with a table reserved for universal joints. All the configurations for the universal
joint will be memorized separately and will be accessible if a universal joint is
mounted under the spindle.
0523 02 21 002 Page 36

8.4) AUTOMATIC MODIFICATON OF THE WORKPIECE SIZE
To have access to the page configuration of the values for automatic modification of the
work piece size : when you are in page « abrasive configuration », press key R6, you obtain
the page configuration of the values for the automatic modification of the work piece size.
R6 - From page « abrasive configuration » you have access to the values allowing the
automatic modification of the work piece size........................................................
Through this function, the work piece size per abrasive can be modified. Such modification
can be made on any sides.
However, modifying the work piece size with the same abrasive is identical for all the work
piece of the batch in progress having the option : automatic modification of the selected size.
The selection of the option « automatic modification of the work piece size » is
forbidden for the irregular shapes and for the cardan coupling work.
0523 02 21 002 Page 37

The selection of the automatic modification of the work piece size is made during the
learning. A safety system avoid any selection of the irregular shape : after two points being
processed, selecting the automatic modification of a work piece size gets possible. However
it is possible to modify a selection as a whole for all work piece in the summary table of the
work to be carried out on each piece (see chapter 11). In this table there is no more safety,
but should the selection be processed on irregular shape, there will be no influence.
The values configured in this table have been computed and applied in taking account of the
overriding values. This automatic modification of the work piece is valid for the grinding
wheel in progress. For the next abrasive the initial overriding values are taken up again,
unless there is another automatic modification of the work piece size to be processed.
EXAMPLE
X+ X- Y+ Y- DIAMETRE DEBORDEMENT
-75 mm -75 mm -75 mm -75 mm 500 mm 100 mm
-150 mm -150 mm -150 mm -150 mm 500 mm 100 mm
0 0 0 0 500 mm 100 mm
1- Position of head axis processed at the time of learning

2- Position of head axis after computing of normal overriding (500 mm and 100 mm)
without any modification of piece size.
3- Position of head axis including overriding and piece size modification with abrasive 0
(-75mm)
(-150mm)
(0mm). The position is the same as number 2 one.
0523 02 21 002 Page 38

The modification of each and all abrasives included maybe +1500mm maxi to -1500mm.
This permits the tool to go back or out completely (in the case of a mechanical stop) for
abrasive 0, without any interference to the work piece size.
the automatic modification of the work piece size works for the abrasive in progress, but
there is no modification to the memory of the processed piece. But it’s all the way round with
the modification of the piece size on manual mode during the polishing cycle that work in an
irreversible way(see chapter 21.3)
The modification of a piece size on manual mode of polishing cycle is forbidden, if the piece
in progress have been selected with the optional automatic modification of the piece size.
0523 02 21 002 Page 39

9) – CUT PROGRAMS
9.1) – EXPLANATION OF CUT PROGRAMS
th
If the machine is equipped with 8 cut programs (programs 0 to 7), a 9 program
(program 8) will be provided for canceling the work on one or several work-pieces,
when necessary for a specific reason. The reasons for the different programs is to
be able to work differently from one piece to the next or to work with work-pieces of
different material on the same site.
It is possible to adjust:
• The number of perimeters (99 max).
• The number of cross lines (99 max).
• The super finish number 99 max).
• The cross line pitch offset width (400 mm max).
• The machine speed of movement (from 1 to 20 m/min).
• The super finish pitch offset width (500 mm max).
All these values are assigned by abrasive, and there are 9 possible abrasives per
program.
A program of cuts must be assigned for each work-piece to be polished. This is

carried out during the apprenticeship process, one work-piece after the other, or
generally in the table summarizing the work on the work-pieces to be polished. See
the chapters concerned.
For access to the cut programs page, when you are on the "home" page, press key
R7. This will bring you to an intermediate page. On this page, press key R4 to go to
the cut programs page.
R4 - On the intermediate page =cut program page access ......................

R9 - Return to previous page (1st intermediate page) ..............................
The program number is at the top left of the table. To change program, press briefly
on the R4 key to increase the number and R6 to decrease it. Press by slow pulses
so that the display has the time needed to refresh its variables. You can then change
all the desired values.
You can modify the variables during polishing in these tables, but they will be taken
into consideration on the next work-piece and not the one being worked on.
Key R9 provides access to the intermediate page (choice of configuration tables)
9.3) – SCAN AMPLITUDE .............................................
The scan cycle is described by a movement on the X linear axis and the Y sine axis.
The amplitude of the sine wave is adjustable from 20 to 80 mm. Selection is
performed using a numeric variable.
0523 02 21 002 Page 41

10) –PROGRAMS OF PRESSURES
10.1) – EXPLANATION ABOUT THE PRESSURE PROGRAMMES
The machine has 6 pressure programs (from 0 to 5). This permits to work in different
ways from one piece to another or to work pieces of various materials in the same
work station.
It is possible to set:
• The proper pressure (0 to 6 bar on air mode, 0 to 100% on hydraulic).
• The pressure or counter-pressure mode (only on air mode).
All these values can be allotted per abrasive and there are 9 possible abrasives per
programme.
One pressure programme has to be allotted per piece to be polished. This is done
during the learning operation, either piece after piece or as a whole in the summary
table for the work of pieces to be polished see the relating chapters.
10.2) – SETTING AND MODIFICATION OF PRESSURE PROGRAMMES
R2 - Incrementation of the program number ........................................
R4 - Decrementation of the program Number ......................................
R9 - Backing to previous page (1st intermediate page) .......................
The program number is displayed on the top left top of the table hand. To change the
program, give pulses to keys R2 to increase the and R4 to decrease this number.
The pulses must be slow pulses enough to let the screen the necessary time for
displaying its variables. Then You may change all the wanted values.
0523 02 21 002 Page 42

Hydraulic pressure program
Pneumatic pressure program
It is possible to modify the variables in those tables while polishing, but they will be
taken into account on the next piece and not on the one working.
Depending on the machine option (pneumatic or hydraulic), the screen will display the
table corresponding to your machine's option. For a machine with 2 pressures, the
table that appears will depend on the type of actuator connected to the machine.
0523 02 21 002 Page 43

For pneumatic applications, the pressure value will be chosen with exact values of 0
to 6 bar. It is possible to select whether to work by pressure or counter-pressure by
abrasive. The choice will be obtained using a list of graphic objects.
In hydraulic mode, the pressure value is chosen as a percentage because of the non-
linearity of the proportional control. Values range from 0 to 100. Therefore, the
spindle pressure gauge must indicate what each percentage corresponds to.
The variables during polishing can be modified in these tables, but they will be taken
into consideration on the next part and not the part on which work is taking place.
Key R9 provides access to the intermediate page (choice of configuration tables).
11) – TABLE SUMMARIZING WORK ON WORK-PIECES TO BE POLISHED
For access to the summary table page, when you are on the "home" page, press key
R7. This will bring you to an intermediate page.
From this page, pressure key R7 to go to the summary table page.
R7 - On the intermediate page =access to summary table page ..............
In the summary tables, following values to be settled are found :

• The number of cut programs.
• The number of pressure programs.
• The selection of automatic change of the pieces size
Those 3 values are split in 2 tables (pieces 1 to 32 and pieces 33 to 48)
• The depth stop
• The total depth.
Those 2 values are on a same table, different from other tables in a page
that can be reached if z stop option with depth stop is selected.
0523 02 21 002 Page 44

• The height for pieces calibration
This value is in a table different from the other tables in a page that can be
reached if Z stop option with calibration is selected.
The variables can be modified during polishing in these tables, but will only be taken
into account starting from the next work-piece, and not on the one currently being
worked on.
Table summarizing work on work-pieces with Z stop option
For a central magazine, you have the possibility of having 48 pieces on either side,
ranging from number 1 to number 48 for the two sides. Nevertheless, you will have
different programming between work-piece 1 on the right-hand side and work-piece 1
on the left-hand side, for instance. This can be explained by the fact that the
summary table on your screen corresponds to the work on the side where the
machine is located.
Any modification in the work to be carried out on the work-pieces will be on the
side where the machine is located. An icon to the top left of the table will
indicate the side you are using.

12) – APPRENTICESHIP OF PARTS TO BE POLISHED
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE IRREGULAR SHAPES ON YOUR MACHINE, the

apprenticeship run-through will be in the same way, except that some icons,
and therefore some functions, will be inaccessible to you. For instance, you
will not have the possibility of point modification or insertion because this is
reserved for irregular shapes. The drawings of the icon will be slightly
different (rectangle instead of irregular shape), but their function will remain
identical.
For access to the apprenticeship page, when you are on the "home" page, press key
R3. This will bring you to the 1st apprenticeship page.
R3 - Site initialization ................................................................................
R5 - Stone apprenticeship
R4 -Start square meter calculation ...........................................................
R7 -Point modification or insertion ............................................................
0523 02 21 002 Page 48

The chronological order of apprenticeship is:
• Site initialization (except for addition of work-pieces)
• Work-piece apprenticeship
• Modification or insertion of a point (only if there is a doubt concerning one
or several parts).
It is possible to:
• Take into consideration the entirety of a site.
• Add one or several work-pieces.
• Modify or insert one or several points to one or several work-pieces.
• Repeat the apprenticeship for a complete part.
All of the actions carried out during apprenticeship will be on the side where
the machine is to be found.
12.1) – SITE INITIALIZATION
Before apprenticeship on a new site, it is absolutely essential to initialize the

previous site unless you want to:
• Add one or several work-pieces,
• Modify or insert one or several points on one or several work-pieces.
• Repeat the apprenticeship of a complete work-piece.
To initialize the site, press key R3. The graphic on the page will review the items with
question marks to indicate that there are no more work-pieces in memory for the side
on which you are working.

12.2) – POINT APPRENTICESHIP (continued)
12.2.1) – Work-piece number
Before acknowledging a work-piece, remember to check the work-piece number

(digital edge at top of table). After initialization, it will be set to 1 and without
initialization, it will be the last previous apprenticeship value.
On validation of the last point (without the universal joint), the work-piece number will
be incremented automatically by 1. With the universal joint, the work-piece number
will be incremented automatically by 1 after validation of the startup point.
12.2.2) – Point apprenticeship
There are 2 numerical edges concerning the point number. These are red and non-
modifiable edges. The top one corresponds to the point number you must take into
consideration and the bottom one to the number of points already taken into
consideration for the work-piece.
Apprenticeship will be obtained by moving the machine manually to the desired points
(sighting will be by the spindle central water jet). Pointing will be on the work-piece
edges.
The points will be validated by the R8 Val key, except for the last point which will use
the R6 END key.
• Rectangular work-pieces:
To determine the position of a rectangular work-piece, 2 points are enough.
The points will use the edge of the work-pieces. The 2 points must be
diagonally opposite. There is no acknowledgment direction. You validate
the first point with the key R8 VAL and the 2nd with the key R6 END. The 2nd
point is validated with key R6 END as a way of indicating that the shape is
rectangular.
An event message appears if the two points are aligned so that you can
restart on the second point.
If you do not have a universal joint in the spindle, when the last point is
validated, the work-piece number will be incremented automatically by 1.
If you have a universal joint in the spindle, a graph will appear to inform you
that you must move the machine where you want polishing to begin on the
0523 02 21 002 Page 51

work-piece. Therefore, move the machine to the desired point inside the
work-piece and validate the universal joint starting point using key R8 VAL. At
this time, the work-piece number will be incremented automatically by 1.
• Irregular work-pieces:
To determine the position of an irregular work-piece, at least 3 points will be
required. These points must be taken from the edge of the work-piece at
strategic locations so as to determine the shape. The points must be taken by
turning about the work-piece in a clockwise direction. There is no specific
starting point for apprenticeship. A specific starting point will be calculated
automatically by the machine (except when a universal joint is being used, in
which case you will determine the starting point within the work-piece).
The points are validated with key R8 VAL, except for the last, which is
validated with the key R6 END. There is no need closing the work-piece with
a point (i.e., placing the last point in the same place as the 1st).
There is no way of producing a work-piece with reentrant angles. If you use 3
points forming a reentrance angle during apprenticeship, the machine will
detect it and display a message. The 3rd point will not be validated and will
have to be done over again.
However, be careful because the error can come from the previous point. In
this case, delete the previous point (see following chapter) and start again
from this point. The same principle applies if the 3 points are aligned.
If you do not have a universal joint in the spindle, on validation of the last
point, the work-piece number will be incremented automatically by 1.
If you have a universal joint in the spindle, a graph will appear asking you to
move the machine to the place where you want polishing to begin on the
work-piece. Therefore, move the machine to the desired point inside the
work-piece and validate the starting point of the universal joint with key R8
VAL. At this time, the work-piece number will be incremented automatically
by 1.
0523 02 21 002 Page 52

Here are 2 examples of configuration:
0523 02 21 002 Page 53

12.2.3) – Deletion of a work-piece point
Until the last point of the work-piece has been validated and the work-piece number
incremented, it will be impossible to eliminate the previous point or points. Simply
press key R4. Each pressure on the key corresponds to the deletion of a point. You
can check it by looking at the point number in progress and the number of total points
currently registered against the work-piece.
12.2.4) – Elimination of all the work-piece points
has been incremented, it will be impossible to eliminate in one stroke all the points of
a current work-piece. Simply press key R2, then restart the entire work-piece from
the beginning.
12.2.5) – Cut and pressure program numbers and selection of automatic

modification of the pieces size
has been incremented, it is possible to change the cut and pressure program
number. This will concern the black numerical edges on the left of the table.
If you forget to change the program numbers during apprenticeship, a summary table
will enable you to change them later and globally for all the parts. See Chapter 11) –
TABLE SUMMARIZING WORK ON WORK-PIECES TO BE POLISHED.
Press key R5 to select the automatic modification of the pieces size. To cancel this
selection, press again on key R5. You can also make this selection after the first
point is taken into account.

0523 02 21 002 Page 55

Z stop apprenticeship is a way of determining the high point (tangent point) of the
work-piece. This point is determined manually by establishing a tangent with the tool.
You will need to carry out Z stop apprenticeship before validating the last point so
that the work-piece number corresponds to that of the current work-piece. On this
page, you will be unable to change the work-piece number for safety reasons.
On this page, you will therefore read:
• The work-piece number.
• The current position of the Z stop.
On this page you can modify:
• The depth of cut in mm.
• The total depth in mm.
In chronological order, here is the detection of the work-piece tangent and the
information needed for future work:
• Enter the depth of cut (P).
• Enter the total depth (T).
• Put the spindle into rotation with key R1.
• Make sure that the stop is high enough to be able to lower the slide. If
not, raise stop Z with key R4.
• Lower the slide with key F12.
• Lower stop Z at high speed with key R6 to come as close as possible to
the surface.
• Then lower at slow speed and/or by jogging with keys R8 and R10 for
tangent setting. The tangent is detected by eye or by ear.
• Validate with key R8 VAL.
• Raise the slide with key F10.
• Stop spindle rotation with key R3.
• Raise stop Z slightly to prepare for the next work-piece.
Apprenticeship is over. Exit from the page is by key R9.

If you want to change the depth of cut or total values, a summary table enables you
to change them later and globally for all the work-pieces (See Chapter 11 – TABLE
SUMMARIZING WORK ON WORK-PIECES TO BE POKLISHED).

12.3.2) Learning of the mechanical stop per calibration in
pressure
R2- Validation of the calibration height .......................................................
R9- Return to previous page (point learning page) ....................................
You have to enter the learning of stop Z, before validation the last point as the work
piece number must correspond to this of the work piece in progress. In this page you
cannot change the piece number of security .
So you can read this page :
. The piece number.
And in this page you may modify
. The calibration height in mm.
You must write the wanted calibration height for the piece in progress. Just now, the
red LED of key R2 is blinking, warning that you are allowed to validate. Should the
written value incompatible with the machine, a message points to the error. So, the
value comes back to zero and has to be written again.
When the good value has been entered, it comes back zero so meaning that you are
able to return to the page « learning of points » in order to end the learning of the
piece in progress.

Teach in of the Z stop permits to determine the high point (slab touching point) of the
slab. This point is determined manually when you touch the slab with the tool.
You have to make the teach in of the Z stop before you have made the validation of
the last point in order that the slab number might correspond to the slab in process.
0523 02 21 002 Page 58

In this page, you can not change the slab number for safety reasons.
In this page, you can read :
• The slab number,
• The current position of the Z stop.
In this page, you can modify :
• The depth stop in millimeters.
• The total depth in millimeters.
The detection of the slab tangent is made as follows :
• choose the depth (P).
• put the spindle in rotation with keyhR1.
• Make sure that the stop is enough high to be able to keep the slider down : if not, put the
stop Z up with key R 4
• Put the slider down with key F 12

12.4) – APPRENTICESHIP OF THE OPENINGS
When in the point apprenticeship page, press the R10 key to open the «
apprenticeship of openings » page.
12.4.1) – Apprenticeship of openings
R4 - Cancel the current opening points ....................................................
R8 - Validate the opening points ..............................................................
R9 - Return to the previous page (apprenticeship of the work-piece

points) ........................................................................................................
R10 - Opening adjustment page ................................................................
Before entering an opening, check the opening’s number (black numeric field at the
top of the table). After initialization, it is at 1, and without initialization it is at the last
value entered during the previous apprenticeship.
When validating the last point, the opening number is incremented by 1

automatically. You can change the opening number, as long as an opening’s 1st point
has not been entered.
0523 02 21 002 Page 60

There are 2 numeric fields related with the point number. They are the red, non-
modifiable, fields. The top one is the point number which you must take into account
and the bottom one is the number of points already entered for the opening.
Apprenticeship is performed by moving the machine manually to the points required
(targeting is performed using the spindle’s central water jet). Pointing is performed on
the opening edges. To validate the points, use the R8 val key. Unlike the work-piece
points, there is no END key for the last point. To validate the opening, press the R8
Val key a second time. To determine the position of an opening, 2 points are
sufficient. The 2 points must be diagonally opposed. There is no
acknowledgement direction
The maximum number of openings is 30.
12.4.2) – Adjusting openings
In the points apprenticeship page, press the R10 key to open the « openings
adjustment » page.
R9 - Return to the previous page (apprenticeship of the work-piece points

or special configuration page) .............................................................
In this page you can adjust:

• The anticipated relief on the opening.
• The anticipated lowering on the work-piece.
• The relief time (head lift height).
0523 02 21 002 Page 61

• The minimum width between an opening and the work-piece edges in order to
prevent cutting above the opening.
12.5) - POINT MODIFICATION OR INSERTION

This function is a way of verifying one or several complicated parts if you have doubts
about acknowledgment, and of modifying or inserting points in the event of need.
This function is inactive for a rectangular part.
0523 02 21 002 Page 62

The principle operates work-piece by work-piece. Select a work-piece to be checked
and/or modified and the speed at which you want its movements to take place.
Movements are along the points taken into consideration during apprenticeship,
without allowing for overflow. Therefore, it is advisable to begin by a continuous
cycle (selected by key R5) so as to check all the points. Then, if necessary, work
point by point so as to modify or insert the important points.
For the continuous cycle, you will need to:

• Choose the work-piece.
•
• Select the speed of movement.
• Select the continuous cycle with key R5 ...............................
• Press the F2 cycle start key.
The cycle will be run by moving from point to point. No modification will be
possible. The machine will stop at the last point.
For the point-by-point cycle, you will need to:
• Choice the work-piece.
•
• Select the speed of movement.
• Select the point-by-point cycle with key R5 ...........................
• Press cycle start key F2.
The cycle will be run from point to point, but stopping at all the points. Press
the "cycle start" button on each point to go to the next point. To exit from the
cycle, go to the last point and press key R6 END. Never exit from the page
to do anything else before the cycle is completed (the red LED of the
"cycle start" key F2 must be unlit).
• Modification of a point:
When the machine stops at a point to be modified, you must:
• Move the machine exactly where you want to pace the point.
• Activate the point modification mode with key R8. .......................
Press the "cycle start" key to go to the next point.
• Point insertion:
You can only insert a point from point number 2 because the
machine inserts points between the point where you are and the
0523 02 21 002 Page 63

previous point. Therefore, go to the place where you want to insert
a point.
When the machine stops at a point and you want to insert one, you
must:
•
• Move the machine to where you want to insert the point.
• Activate the point modification mode with key R10 ................
Press the cycle start key. The machine will start again from the
previous point and show you the location of the new point.
Once the modification is done, you exit from the page using key R9.
13) – AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGE
The machine can be equipped with an automatic tool change. The tool change is a
way of establishing operational independence without manual action.
Selection is with key F5 (see Chapter 3.1.1) – console). When the red LED of the
key is on, you will have selected the automatic tool change. When it is off, the
change of grind is by hand.
An icon in the call-up strip at the top of the screen indicates the selection you have
made.
Do not confuse "automatic tool changing" with "special tool change" which
only enables it to seek automatically a designated tool in the magazine. This
takes place outside the automatic polishing cycle.
Automatic tool changing cannot be deactivated if there is a memorized "night" worn

grinder. The memorization of the "night" worn grinder must be canceled to be able to
deactivate the automatic tool change.
0523 02 21 002 Page 64

13.1) – WITHOUT AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGE
When a machine is working without automatic tool change, the grinders on the head
mounted on the machine must be changed manually.
After the cycle start, the machine will polish all the work-pieces. At the end of
polishing, the machine will either relocate at the machine origin or go to the special
stopping point for worn grinders if this point is different from the origin point (Chapter
6.3).
13.2) – WITH AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGE
When the machine is working with an automatic tool change, the machine begins its
polishing cycle with the initial abrasive as designated on the automatic page and
terminates with the fine abrasive designated on that page. No manual action is
needed except in the case of a worn grinder and when there is no more of the
desired abrasive in the magazine.
See also Chapter 15) – WORN GRINDERS for complementary information relating to
worn grinders.
14) – AUTOMATIC SITE SEQUENCING
The machine can be equipped with a central magazine. This magazine, placed at the
center of the running track, provides for more accurate site control. The machine can
work on one side of the magazine while, on the other side, the operator can load or
unload in total safety. But to optimize the use of the site at night, we have made it
possible to sequence the two sites together (both sides).
Selection is carried out using key F3 (See Chapter 3.1.1) – console). When the red
LED of the key is on, you will have selected the "site sequencing" mode. When it is
off, the machine will stay on its own side at the end of the job. An icon in the
reminder strip at the top of the screen enables you to see the selection you have
made. It is essential that the automatic tool change is selected so as to be able
to select the mode with automatic site sequencing.
0523 02 21 002 Page 65

Do not confuse site sequencing with special side change, which is a way of
going from one side to the other automatically. This takes place outside the
automatic polishing cycle. Changing from one side to another can be useful
for apprenticeship tasks or for other reasons. This change of sides cannot be
carried out manually with the manipulator.
14.1) – WITHOUT SITE SEQUENCING
When the machine is working without site sequencing, it does all the work
programmed for the side on which it is located and stops at the end on the same
side.
14.2) – WITH SITE SEQUENCING
When the machine is operating with site sequencing, at the end of its work on the
first site, it automatically switches to the other. It begins its work with the starting
abrasive on the side where it has just arrived, and terminates with the fine abrasive
on that side.
The fact that there is a selection on start abrasive and fine abrasive for each left and
right site makes it possible to work differently For instance in the evening before
leaving, you can ask for the sequencing of the sites with abrasive 2 as start abrasive
for the sequenced site. The machine will finish the site currently being polished using
the selected fine abrasive and begin the 2nd site with the desired stating abrasive,
then polish through to the selected fine abrasive.
Once it has changed to the other side, the "site sequencing" mode will be canceled.
See also Chapter 15) – WORN GRINDERS for complementary information about
worn grinders.
0523 02 21 002 Page 66

15) – WORN GRINDERS
The machine is equipped with a worn grinder detection sensor, whether the machine
is or is not equipped with an automatic tool change.
The selection of the worn grinders principle is obtained with key F1 (see Chapter
3.1.1) – console). When the red LED of the key is on, you have selected the "night
worn grinders" principle. When it is off, you have selected the "day worn grinders"
principle. An icon in the reminder strip at the top of the screen enables you to see
the selection made. It is essential that the automatic tool change is active to
enable you to select the "night worn grinders" principle.
15.1) – DAY WORN GRINDERS PRINCIPLE
15.1.1) – Without automatic tool change
When the sensor is activated, the spindle rises, rotation stops and the machine is
returned to its stopping point (origin or point determined by you). You have to
change the grinders by hand, then press key F2 for "cycle start" to restart the cycle.
The machine will return to the part on which the worn grinders were detected.
Polishing will resume at the beginning of all the abrasive cuts underway or as a
continuity of the cuts already made. This depends on the configuration chosen in
Chapter 22) – MACHINE SPECIAL CONFIGURATION.
15.1.2) – With automatic tool change
When the sensor is activated, the spindle rises, rotation stops and the machine
returns to its origin. It tests whether there are any other new or initiated abrasives
identical to the one being used. There are two possible solutions:
0523 02 21 002 Page 67

• If yes: The machine will go to the magazine to take the new
head with new or started abrasives. At the exit of the magazine, it will
return to the work-piece in which worn grinders were detected and begin
polishing at the start of all the abrasive cuts underway, or as a continuity
from the cuts already made. This will depend on the solution chosen in
• If no: The machine will go to its stopping point if it is different

from the origin (point determined by you). You will need to change the
grinders by hand, then press "cycle start" key F2 to restart the cycle. The
machine will return to the part on which the worn grinders were detected to
restart polishing at the beginning of all the abrasive cuts underway, or as a
continuity of the cuts already made. This depends on the configuration
chosen in Chapter 22) – MACHINE SPECIAL CONFIGURATION.
15.2) – NIGHT WORN GRINDERS PRINCIPLE
This mode can only be used with the automatic tool change active.
When the sensor has been activated, the spindle rises, rotation stops and the
machine is relocated at its origin. It tests for a new or started abrasive identical to the
one underway. There are two possible solutions:
• If yes: The machine will go to the magazine to take the new

head with new or started abrasives. At the exit of the magazine, it will
return to the work-piece in which worn grinders were detected and begin
polishing at the start of all the abrasive cuts underway, or as a continuity
from the cuts already made. This will depend on the solution chosen in
• If no: The machine deactivates the "site chaining" mode

and deactivates the "night worn grinders principle" mode.
0523 02 21 002 Page 68

The machine memorizes the parts remaining to be processed, including the
work-piece on which the worn grinder was detected. The abrasive number is
incremented by 1 (unless it is the last one to go through) and the machine will
change tools in the magazine so as to be able to finish the part of the site that
is still possible. In this way, at least one finished site will remain the next
morning (a display of the used abrasives in the magazine, of the part where
the "night worn grinders" took place, and with which abrasive the "worn
grinders" occurred).
If a new worn grinder comes in during the end of polishing, the machine will
behave as in the "day worn grinders" configuration.
Once the first part of the work-piece is finished (the next morning), change the
grinders in the magazine and inform the machine of the fact using the function
for managing worn grinders in the magazine. Press "cycle start" key F2. The
machine will finish the site automatically on the work-pieces remaining from
the previous evening, with the right abrasive and without programming. At
this time, it is possible to reactivate the site chaining mode, but not the
night grinders principle.
Whatever happens (emergency shutdown or other safety feature), on each

restart, the machine will continue its recovery after the "night" principle worn
grinders until the total completion of the site work.
If you want to interrupt the restarting of "night worn grinders", you must cancel
the restart (recovery) after "night worn grinders". See Chapter 22 =
MACHINE SPECIAL CONFIGURATION.
The reactivation of the "night worn grinders" principle is only possible

at the end of the restart, or after its deactivation.
Note: If worn grinders are detected using the "night" principle and this is the
last abrasive to go through and there is no longer any of the same abrasive in
the magazine, the machine will stop at its origin or at the stopping point and
wait until the grinders are changed by hand, in the same way as for the night
principle. The machine will have to be restarted using the "cycle start" key F2.
0523 02 21 002 Page 69

15.3) – CONTROL OF WORN GRINDERS IN MAGAZINE
When you declare several locations (tools) to have the same abrasive, the machine
can automatically change the worn grinders and recover new ones. But when the
machine deposits the worn grinders, it will memorize that such and such a location
has worn grinders (so as to no longer have to come back and fetch them).
Therefore, once you have put new grinders in these locations (tools), you must
indicate this to the machine. That is the role of this function.
For access to the "worn grinders management in magazine" page, when you are on
the "reception" page, you must press key R7. This will bring you to an intermediate
page. From this page, press key R8 to go to the "worn grinders in magazine
management" page.
R8 - On the intermediate page =access to worn grinder management

page
R5 - New grinder activation ......................................................................
On the numerical edge, indicate the location where you have put the new grinders,
then press key R5 to validate the new grinders. Repeat the operation for all the
locations where the grinders have been replaced.
Exit from the function is by key R9 .............................................................
0523 02 21 002 Page 70

16) – RECOVERY AFTER GRINDERS X
To gain access to the "recovery after grinder X" page, when you are on the
"reception" page, press key R7. This will bring you to an intermediate page. From
this page, press key R10 to go to the "recovery after grinder X" page.
R10 - On the intermediate page =access to recovery page after grinder X
R10 - New table (work-piece 25 to 48) .......................................................
The table of work-pieces to be produced is split in 2 by a 24-work-piece module. A

work-piece to be handled (polished) is shown by a checked box, and a work-piece
not to be processed by an empty box. Selection is by a graphic object list. Move
though the desired list and choose the desired graphic.
Before making any modification, the table is empty, You need to choose the pieces
you want to polish another time. It is impossible to declare a work-piece as needing
to be produced if it has not been taken into consideration. Conversely, a work-piece
that you have just declared as not requiring attention can be returned to ready for
processing by means of this table.
0523 02 21 002 Page 71

Any change made in this table cannot be effected anywhere else (or by
apprenticeship which initializes this table when you initialize all the pieces).
The selection of the "recovery after grinder X" principle is carried out using key F7
(see Chapter 3.1.1) – console). When the red LED of the key is on, it means that you
will have selected the recovery after grinder X mode. When it is off, the machine
works in its normal mode.
If the "recovery with grinder X" function is activated, the next job will be
carried out with the work-pieces selected from the previous table alone. This
work will take place with abrasive under the spindle or with the required abrasive in
the magazine if automatic tool change is activated. At the end of the work with this
abrasive, on return to the origin, the recovery with grinder X mode is deactivated
automatically. If the machine works with an automatic tool change, it will change
tools to take the next abrasive and polish all the parts taken into consideration during
apprenticeship.
The selection of the work-pieces to be processed in the table can be carried out
during the polishing cycle, but activation of the "recovery after grinder X" mode by
key F7 is only possible when the machine is at a stop.
When there is a worn grinder used in the night principle, the "recovery after grinder
X" mode is deactivated automatically.

17) – SPECIAL SIDE CHANGE
This function is only available for machines with a central magazine. To
change sides, there is no need to select the "site chaining" mode.
For access to the special side change page, when you are on the "home" page,
press key R4. This brings you to an intermediate page. On this page, press key R8
to go to the special side change page.
R8 - On the intermediate page = access to side change page .................
Note: When you are on the intermediate page, if you press the cycle start button F2,
the machine will return automatically to its origin.
Whatever the position of the machine on the site, when you are on this page, if you
press cycle start key F2, the machine will first go to its origin, then change to the
other side of the site. It will stop on the origin on the other side.
Exit from this function is by key R9 ............................................................
0523 02 21 002 Page 73

18) – SPECIAL TOOL CHANGE
To go to the page "special tool change" from the page “welcome” you must press key
R4. So getting to an intermediate page.
Then you will press key R6 to reach the page "special tool change"
.
R6 - From the intermediate page = access to page “tool change” ...........
Note: When you are on the intermediate page, if you press key F2 "cycle start", the
machine will return to its origin automatically.
A list of pictograms allows you to select the type of abrasive that you want to take out
of the storing unit. It is possible to remove the tool under spindle and go out again
without any tool. To do so you shall have to select the pictogram being cross out.
once the selection is over and whatever the position of the machine in the work
station, when you are in this page, if you press key F2 “cycle start”, the machine will
go first to its origin and then will go to fetch or remove to the select tool. The cycle is
over when the machine has been out of the storing unit and stopping at the origin
point that t started from.
Quit the function through key R9................................................................
0523 02 21 002 Page 74

19) – UNIVERSAL JOINT
The particularity of the universal joint is its polishing cycle. The spindle only turns
when the universal joint is applying pressure to a work-piece (changeover from one
piece to another is by rotation at a halt). When the machine reaches a work-piece,
the head is lowered and, after a time delay, begins to rotate, and the machine starts.
At the end of the work-piece, rotation stops and, after a delay, the head rises so as to
be able to move on to the next part.
It is possible to accomplish a cycle shutdown with a universal joint during polishing.

This shutdown is a way of changing grinders in situ when the machine is not
equipped with universal joint grinder wear detection.
The configuration of the diameter, overflow, spindle coolant, return coolant and speed
of rotation are specific universal joint parameters. The parameters are selected
automatically as soon as a universal joint is mounted under the spindle. See Chapter
8) - ABRASIVES CONFIGURATION.
The configuration for the use of a universal joint in the magazine then uses the
magazine configuration. See Chapter 7.2) - MAGAZINE WITH UNIVERSAL JOINT.or
in the special configuration page if the machine has no magazine, See Chapter 22) –
MACHINE SPECIAL CONFIGURATION
If you only have one universal joint in the magazine and you only use it occasionally
with respect to the other types of heads, it is advisable to declare the universal joint
with an abrasive number 8 if it is not used by another head. This will enable you to
leave the universal joint and the other heads in the magazine at all times, without
modifying its configuration. To be able to use the universal joint, take the special tool
change universal joint and request abrasive 8. On exit from the magazine check
(only the 1st time) the configuration of the abrasives linked with the universal joint
(diameter, running speed overrun, etc.). You are then using the machine without an
automatic tool change and before each cycle start, you will select the abrasive with
which the universal joint will be polishing. The choice of abrasive corresponding to
the abrasive on the universal joint, on the console, means that the cuts and speeds
entered into the programs of cuts and pressures will be used correctly on the work-
pieces to be polished.
0523 02 21 002 Page 75

Should a universal joint per abrasive (abrasives O to 4 or 5) be used, the
reconfiguration of the storing unit between the heads type BS6, satellite, B and the
universal joint, is essential, as the tools are identified with their named abrasive. As
the same name of abrasive is used for the heads type BS6, satellite, B and the
universal joint, you will have to declare as “not used”, the tools that will not be used
for the polishing. See chapter 7)-STORING UNIT CONFIGURATION. In that case,
the machine with automatic tool changing shall be used. If the machine has been
equipped with the automatic worn-out wheels detection system, the machine will work
in a standard way. You can use the worn-out wheel principle, you will see relating
chapters.
If the universal joint has been mounted on the machine and that one or several work
pieces of the batch in progress have no universal joint starting point, a warning defect
“point to reach on x >to the ends” will appear in the screen, stopping the machine.
20) – MOTORIZED MECHANICAL STOP
There are three principles for using the stop :
• . Motorized mechanical stop with calibration in pressure. This means that the
operator indicates the wanted final height of the work piece. During the work, this
stop gets directly into its final position and the machine works applying its pressure
onto the work piece until it reaches the final position of the stop.
• Motorized mechanical stop with calibration in depth stop. It means that the operator
indicates the desired final value of the slab and the depth stop with which we will take
the material. This, after having made the tangent onto the slab to be machined which
gives the milling starting point.
• .Motorized mechanical stop with depth stop. The operator specifies the total depth of
the material to be removed and the depth of each pass. All this prior to entering with
the machine a point of tangency onto the work piece.
This mode is similar to a milling process.
No possible running of the Z stop with the universal joint, the hydraulic flow limiter
valve and the hydraulic valve for trueing.
0523 02 21 002 Page 76

Activation and deactivation of Z stop
In this page of the machine origins is decided whether the stop will be used or not,
and with which mode of running.
Selection is made through key R7
R7 – Deactivated stop ................................................................................
R7 – Stop with calibration in pressure ........................................................
R7 - Stop with calibration in depth stop ............................................................
R7 – Stop with depth of passes .................................................................
Various behavior of the stop according to its state :
. On doing the machine origins, if the stop is deactivated it automatically moves down
to its lower position. If the stop is activated, the origin of the stop is made, then this of
the other two axes X and Y.
. On going into the storing unit, if the stop is active, it moves down to its lower
position. If it has been deactivated it stays in its present position.
. On reaching a work piece :
- The stop is active, but there is no work to make with it : it moves down to its lower
position.
- - If it has been deactivated, it stays in its present position.
. On moving back to its origin on end of polishing cycle :
- If the stop is active it moves down to its lower position
- If it has been deactivated it stays in its present position.
. When the stop is active, it is forbidden to use the universal joint.
when the stop is activated with a universal joint under the spindle, this one is
automatically deactivated. So, if a cycle start is started with the universal joint a
defect will appear at once in the screen. Then the tool will have to be changed.
The operation of stop Z on automatic mode, whatever its working principle, is
dependant on being in abrasive 0.
As regards all the other abrasives, if the stop is active, at the moment of the
cycle start, it will move down to its lower position.
0523 02 21 002 Page 77

20.1) MECHANICAL STOP WITH CALIBRATION IN PRESSURE
Among the pages about the special cycles, there is one for fixing the position of the
tool in relation to the table.
See chapter 6.4) MEASURE OF THE TOOL ON AXIS Z FOR CALIBRATION.
This cycle is automatic.
The work to be carried out in pressure as regards the calibration in pressure shall be
configured on the learning of the slbas or in a summary table
The calibration in pressure of a work piece by the machine requires : to be in
abrasive 0, to have selected the Z stop in calibrating mode and to have a calibrated
height on the work pieces.
The running principle is as follows :
. The machine moves toward the piece. Once over the piece, the stop takes
its position at the final height to calibrate the piece. The head moves down and the
machine gets polishing under pressure until the spindle touches the stop. The follow-
up probe works as a reference, indicating that the spindle has reached the stop (the
height is ok).
There is a principle of memorization of the follow-up. If this one is off the stop more
than on second (after reaching it), it is considered that the surface has not been
straightened. When full pass will have been done with the follow-up being still in
contact with the stop, then the machine will work the number of crossed tracks
passes in the programme to ensure a good trueing and calibration of the work piece.
The number of passes may be between 0 and 99.
It is possible to mix a work-station with pieces to be calibrated and others not to be.
In that case, on reaching the work piece the machine verifies the height of calibration.
If it is different from 0, the machine works as said above. If it is equal to 0, the stop
moves down and the machine works under pressure with all the passes of the
programme relating to this work piece.
It is possible to work with the hydraulic valve if the machine works with calibration.
An informative page over the Z stop in course of polishing allows to see the position
of the stop. No value can be modified in calibration mode. Access to this page
through key R7 if you are in page “automatic cycle start” or in the page “modification
of values in course of polishing cycle.
R7 – Access to page : Information Z stop with calibration. .........................
0523 02 21 002 Page 78

20.2) – MECHANICAL STOP WITH CALIBRATION IN DEPTH STOP
There is one page, amongst the pages of special cycles, which permits to determine
the tool position according to the table. See chapter 6/4/ MEASURING TOOLING ON
AXLE Z FOR CALIBRATION. This cycle is automatic.
The calibration work to be done in depth stop is determined when teaching the slabs
or in a summering chart.
In order that the machine might calibrate a slab in depth stop, you must be working
with abrasive nr 0, having selected the Z stop in calibration mode (depth stop), having
a calibrating height on the slabs and a depth stop.
Aim of the Z stop in calibration and depth stop is to rectify a surface in order that the
flatness might be the better possible with a thickness of slab to obtained.
Function mode is the following :
• The machine moves towards the slab. Once on the slab, the stop is
positioned to the height of the tengenting point, the slider goes down onto the
stop and when the following sensor will give the information that the slider is
onto the stop, the machine will start the cycle. The machine will only process
crossed tracks (passes for periphery and super finishing will have
automatically been put to O). At the end of each pass, if the following sensor
has not left the stop, the stop goes down by one depth and the total depth
decreases (equals to one depth pass). If the following sensor has left the stop
during a minimum time (T27), at the end of the pass, the stop will not go down
and will begin another pass at the same level. The stop will go at the end of
the crossed tracks until the total depth equals to 0. At this moment, the
machine will do the passes number in crossed tracks indicated in the program
to ensure a good rectifying of the slab. This passes number can be within 0
and 99.
An information page about the Z stop in calibration permits to see where the stop is.
It is possible to change at each moment, during the rectification, the depth stop.

Nota : Before the cycle start, it is possible to make a selection if we want the
machine to begin the work with the stop positioned at the slab tangent level
or at the tangent level + pass depth. This permits to be sure to take material
from the first pass. This selection is made with key R 6 in page “automatic cycle
start” or in page “values modification” in polishing cycle process. If the selection
is made during the cycle, it will not be taken into account before the next slab.

20.3) MECHANICAL STOP WITH DEPTH OF PASSE
The purpose of working with stop Z and depth of pass is trueing a surface to obtain
the best flatness. No calibration is concerned. For each part shall be specified the
total depth of material to be taken out and what pass depth with. The machine works
like a milling machine.
The machine needs to be informed of the highest point of the part to know what
height the milling cycle has to be started. Such a point is named “tangency point”.
The principle of working is as follows :
. The machine travels toward the work piece. Once it is there the stop gets in position
to the height of the tangency point. The slider moves down to the stop. As soon as
the follow-up gives the information “SLIDER TOUCHING STOP”, the machine will
start its cycle. Only crossed-tracks shall be made, as the periphal and super finishing
functions are automatically set to 0. At the end of each pass, if the follow-up keeps
touching the stop, this one moves down by one depth pass, until the total depth has
been reached.
Should the follow-up leave the stop during a short time (T27) on end of pass, the stop
won’t move down but shall start a further pass at the same level. The stop will move
down at the end of each crossed track pass, until the depth 0 was reached.
Then the machine shall make the number of crossed tracks specified in the
programme to insure a good trueing of the work piece. This pass number may be
from 0 to 99.
An informative page about Z stop in course of polishing permits to follow the progress
of the stop. Changing the depth of pass or the total depth values is possible at
anytime of the operation in progress.
You can access to this page through key R7 if you are in page “automatic cycle start”
or in the page of modification of values in course of polishing cycle.

Note : Prior to starting the cycle, it is possible to select for the machine :
- either begins its work with the stop positioned tangentially to the work piece
- or at the tangency level plus one pass depth.
This allows making sure to take out some material right from the first pass. This
selection is done through key R6 in the page of automatic cycle start or in the page of
modification of the values in course of polishing cycle. If this selection is done in
course of cycle, it will be effective only for the next work piece.

22.3) – CYCLE RECOVERY CHOICE AFTER WORN GRINDERS A
When you have detected worn grinders on a work-piece, there are two possibilities of
recovery on the work-piece after the change of grinders:
• The machine recommences all the cuts on the work-piece.
• The machine resumes the cycle on the work-piece for the remaining
number of cuts.
The choice is the same for all the parts on the site and is made with respect to the
abrasive. For instance, choose abrasive 3. This means that for abrasives 0, 1 and 2,
subsequent to a worn grinder, the machine will resume its cycle on the work-piece
while continuing the cuts that had been started before grinder wear was detected.
For abrasives 3 and above, the machine will resume its cycle on the work-piece at
the beginning of the cuts.
22.4) – SELECTION OF UNIVERSAL JOINT IF MACHINE WITH NO MAGAZINE
In the case of a machine without magazine, selecting universal joint operation is

performed in this page. To select, press the R1 key:
• Green = universal joint active.

22.5) – SELECTION OF WORK WITH VALVE OR WITH HYDRAULIC FLOW RATE LIMITER
There is no way of using both the flow rate limiter and the hydraulic valve. To
select one, the other must be deactivated.
22.5.1) – Flow limiter B
The purpose of the flow limiter is to permit better dressing of the surface by limiting
the rate of descent of the slide. To adjust this time, you must temporize MN10.
In the case of a hydraulic pressure machine, it is possible to work without the flow
limiter (crossed abrasive) using abrasives "0 or 1" or "0 and 1". To make the choice,
you must:
• Select the graphic list B
• Choose from this list the desired graphic
22.5.2) – Hydraulic valve C
0523 02 21 002 Page 90

The purpose of the hydraulic valve is to provide better surface dressing by lowering
the slide using pulses calibrated over a period of time. Time adjustment uses time
delay MN10. See Chapter 26.1) DIAGNOSTIC PAGES.
If your machine has the valve option, for a hydraulic pressure machine, it will be
possible to work without the valve (crossed abrasive) using abrasive "0 or 1" or "0
and 1". To make your choice, you must:
• Select the graphic list C
• Choose from this list the desired graphic
3 texts will appear:
• Final number of perimeter cuts without new valve control. C1
• Final number of cross line cuts without new valve control. C2
• Activation time of valve in ms. C3
You must set a final number of cuts for the perimeter and the cross line
without the valve. The value can be 0. The valve activation time
corresponds to the depth of cut.
The configuration is now set.
The final number of cuts on the perimeter without any further valve control may be
used if there are no cross lines. This final number of cuts for the perimeter or the
cross line is used for refining the dressing of the work-pieces.

28) – VARIOUS STOPPAGES
28.1) – CYCLE END STOPPAGE
This stoppage occurs at the end of the polishing cycle, either to change the cycle if
there is no automatic grinder change or to wait for a new site and restart the polishing
cycle.
Restarting is by means of cycle start key F2 from the automatic polishing cycle
startup page.
28.2) – WORN GRINDER STOPPAGE
This stoppage occurs when the machine detects grinder wear on the site and there is
no longer a grinder in the magazine or there is no automatic grinder change. The
stopping position is either at the origin or at the special stopping point.
Restarting is by key F2 (cycle start), once the grinders have been changed from any
page.
28.3) – STOPPAGE DURING CYCLE OR PAUSE
This stoppage is a deliberate action using key F4 – stoppage during cycle. The
machine stops and the spindle rises while continuing to turn (except in the case of the
universal joint, when rotation stops and the spindle rises).
Restarting is by means of the cycle start key F2, from any page.
It is also possible to stop the machine entirely (polishing cycle) by pressing on

initialization key F6. At this time, the cycle is totally interrupted. Restarting is by
cycle start key F2 from the automatic polishing cycle start page.

28.7) – RESTARTING SUBSEQUENT TO STOPPAGE IN MAGAZINE
In the case of a machine with a central magazine, if a fault occurs while the machine
is in the magazine on the lefthand side origin, it will behave as if it were on the right.
Therefore, take the magazine manually out of the machine using the manipulator on
the righthand side. Reset the machine to the lefthand side using the special change
function. At this time, you can restart the current cycle.
0523 02 21 002 Page 108

29) – INFORMATION MESSAGES
There is an information message and machine manipulation and graphic help area.
(See Chapter 3.2.3) – Graphic screen). When a message or graphic appears, it will
normally disappear after 10 seconds or when the initialization key F6 is pressed.
Some messages will inform you of what you need to do for them to disappear.
