Preface
The content of this manual is the latest edition. However, we are constantly improving the design of
our machine tools so that the illustrations and descriptions may vary from the machine you received.
This means that the machine you received is the latest improved model to better fulfill your
requirements. Your WELE machine is designed and built for maximum ease and safety of
operation. However, some previously accepted shop practices may not reflect current safety
regulations and procedures, and should be re-examined to insure compliance with the current safety
and health standards.

We recommend that all shop supervisors, maintenance personnel, machine and tool operators be
advised of the importance of safety maintenance, setup and operation of WELE built equipment.

There are lots of descriptions in the manual about what ought or not to do, but it still can't cover all
the details. When you think about the possibility of some operations, please refer to the instructions
or informations described in the instruction manuals enclosed with the machine, they are:

1) Operation and Maintenance Manual


2) Mechanism Assembly Drawing And Part List
3) Paramter list, LADDER (export only), DRAWING, CD
4) Operator's Manual (operation & programming, supplied by the manufacturer of the CNC
controller.)
5) Maintenance Manual (supplied by the manufacturer of the CNC controller )

Besides, in the next chapter of this manual, there are safety related descriptions for attention. These
matters for attention contain the essential informations to the operators while operating, and
maintaining. Fail to follow these instructions may result in great damage on the machine or the
operator.

2.1 Descriptions of mechanical design and construction


The machine consists of column, machine bed, saddle, magazine and the ATC system, spindle
head, and table. Every part is designed for the high precision of long-term and durable cutting
performances. The following are the descriptions of the parts:

A. Column
The column is made of one piece. The thick walls and reinforcement ribs give the
machining unsurpassed rigidity and prevent any bending or twisting that may affect
machining accuracy. The rigid column construction supports the cutting load
symmetrically; thus bending movement and thermal deflection is minimized

B. Machine bed
The machine bed is the foundation of the machining center structure. In addition to
providing rigidity and support for the sliding members, machine alignment is maintained
through the precision leveling of this structure.

C. Saddle
The saddle supports the table movement on the guideways, it is the foundation of the
straight precision of X-direction. Its one piece structure strengthens the rigidity of
guideways and maintains the straightness.

D. Magazine and the ATC system


A Standard magazine can store tools. The ATC time, tool to tool is 8 seconds.

E. Spindle head
The spindle head for rigidity reason, a square-shaped cross section headstock was
designed. The front bearing to assure efficient power transmission to the spindle nose
and to enable heavy duty machining supports the spindle to maintain sensitivity and
accuracy to the cutting area.

F. Table
The table size not only allows for the machining of large parts but also increases the
productivity of small to medium sized parts as they can be set up and processed at one
time.

6. Setting and Adjusting

6.1 Structural Setting and Adjusting


6.1.1 Adjusting of gibs
The surface of the guideway is machined, hardened and ground so that the smoothness and
geometric accuracy is excellent; Turcite B is attached to the surface of sliding part, automatic
lubrication is applied to the sliding surface to reduce the friction and worn-out. Moreover, to
ensure the sliding surface being contacted properly with the guideway, we apply a rigid-type
fixing of the gibs. If the gib is too tight that makes friction too large, it will cause the poor
lubrication and worn-out of the sliding surface. To ensure the required dynamic accuracy, the
tightness of gib needs some adjustment. Please refer to the following procedure to adjust it.
 

 
6-2
 
a. Adjustment of X-axis gibs (Table)

  6. Setting and Adjusting 6-5
 
6.1.2 Leveling ajusting
When the machine is settled on its foundation, it’s necessary to level it precisely. The good
leveling of the machine can keep the machine’s geometric accuracy, eliminate the twist of the bed,
and keep the straightness of the slide ways. Bad leveling will cause poor work piece surface,
vibration, and even the breakdown of the machine. The procedure of leveling:
a. Move the table and saddle to the middle of their strokes.
b. Put the level on the center of the table. Then perform the leveling.
c. Adjust the perpendicularity between the table surface and the spindle center line.
d. Make sure the leveling bolts are firmly supported on their foundations.
e. Check the level again in six months after installation.
 
 
6.1.3 Adjusting of pull stud kick-out amount
There is a 5mm gap between the top of pull stud and the collet cap, and it is required to have a
0.8mm kick-out amount to ensure the completely unclamping. The following is the procedure to
adjust the gap:
a. Tool is not completely unclamped (please refer to Figure 6-1)
(1) The most possible reason is that the collet cap does not hit the pull stud during the
unclamping. Adjust the bolt on the bottom of the piston-rod of the unclamping cylinder to
shift its position.
(2) After the adjustment, secure the locking nut of the mentioned bolt, and check whether the
limit switches of the unclamping cylinder can be activated normally.
(3) In handle mode, check the unclamping function several times, make sure this function is
ok. Then it is allowed to perform the automatic tool changing.
(4) If the ambient temperature is very low, the oil of the unclamping system may become
much viscous and then cause a slower response. In this case, please manually unclamp the
tool several times to rise the oil temperature.

Figure 6-1 Tool is not completely unclamped

 
6-6
 
b. Adjust the amount of kick-out (please refer to Figure 6-2)
(1) While without spindle tool, adjust the bolt on the bottom of the piston-rod of the
unclamping cylinder to get the 5mm gap between this bolt and the top of the drawbar.
(2) Mount the tool holder, which has no tool, in the spindle. Apply an indicator and set the
probe to touch the tool holder. Manually push the tool holder upwards and unclamp the
tool holder. If the kick-out amount is not 08.mm, please adjust the mentioned bolt again
until ok.
(3) Secure the locking nut of the mentioned bolt after the adjustment.

7.1 Preventive Maintenance

To press the emergency stop button or turn off the main


power before to start the maintenance work. 

 
 
It is a very important factor in maintenance to keep the machine clean. Humidity, mist, oil and
dust will accelerate corrosion on the electrical contact parts that operate intermitted. In order to
execute the maintenance plan effectively, make a schedule for maintenance and observe it
strictly is important even if the scheduled maintenance time interferes with production schedule.
This can lengthen the lives of machine and control system service. It is important to keep the
maintenance record of the control system. It will help you make stock plan and estimated
service lines of the component parts. Preventive maintenance can be held in daily, weekly,
monthly, every 6 months and Yearly maintenance. All of them can be followed the list below.
Checking each item listed below, correcting any abnormal condition and recording all data
properly are the responsibilities of maintenance. Make sure the E-stop button has been
depressed and the main power switch has been turned off before taking care of the following
maintenance. For safety reason, we recommend you to restore all of the data that has been
provided or setting in the controller. Keep all maintenance data in several copies. For your
reference, please follow our data format.

7.1.1 Inspection before starting, after starting and end of daily operation
a. Inspection before starting
1. Check over the oil level of the oil cooler, air machine, coolant pump, and lubricant pump,
etc.
2. Exhaust the water accumulated in the air conditioning unit.
3. The operator should dress up himself and put on protection devices.
4. Please check over the connection condition of the power source.
5. Please check over the piping connections of coolant and air circuits.
6. The working area around the machine should be free from obstructions.
7. All doors should be kept close right before the starting of the machine.
8. All screws should be securely held, including the clamping status of jigs and fixture.
9. Make sure all the safety devices are in place and functioning.
10. Before being engaged in machining, check the vibration of the tool and spindle and make
sure that there are no unusual phenomena.

b. Inspection after starting


1. Please check over the lubrication condition of all the slide surfaces.
2. Please check whether the lighting device is working normally or not.
3. Please check the readings on the coolant pump gauge, oil cooler, air machine and
lubricant pump whether they are in the specified working range or not.
4. Please check the whole machine whether there are any abnormal sound or condition or
not.
5. Please make sure the supply condition of electricity is normal.
6. Please check whether there is any rupture on the piping element or not.
7. Please check whether there is any leakage between the guards or not.
8. Please check the machine whether there is any abnormal vibration on the moving axes or
not.
9. Please make sure all the machining precision is under the tolerance.

c. Inspection at the end of daily operation


1. The cleaning of the machine must be complete and thorough after finishing the daily
operation. Try to find out the unusual condition of the machine. (Though the air
compressor may be helpful to clean the chips, the operator still should be careful when
operating it.)
2. The dust on the fans of the filters in the enclosure should be cleaned regularly.
3. Turn the power off after operation. The procedure are shown as follows:
1) Push the “EMERGENCY STOP” button on the operation panel.

 
  7. Maintenance 7-3
 
2) Push the “POWER OFF” switch on the operation panel.
3) Turn off the main switch breaker in the enclosure.
4. Clean the chips up in the chip tank.
5. Because the relays or other electrical elements may be still in high temperature after
turning the power, please do not touch them.
6. If the remaining is under lower limit, replenish the specified oil into tanks. Replace the oil
with new one immediately if the quality of the oil deteriorated.
7. It is necessary to make a review about the machine at the end of operation in order to
maintain the optimum condition of the machine.
8. Please sweep the chips in the interior of the machine into the chip tank.

9.4 Manipulation for Stopping Operation


 All personnel must know the locations of Emergency Stop
  buttons and how to use them in case of emergency situations.

 
9.4.1 Emergent stop
In case of any emergency cases, press the button which is nearest button as soon as possible.
Machine will be stopped immediately. CRT screen will display the alarm message “Not ready”.
After the emergency situation has solved, twist the switch clockwise to release the pushbutton.
 
9.4.2 Other stops
There are several methods to stop machine during machine in AUTO or MDI operation. The
descriptions are as below:

9.4.2.1 Program Stop (M00)


Stops program, stops spindle, turns coolant OFF, "Tool release" push-button is activated.
[Feedhold] light flashes intermittently.
Cycle operation is stopped after a block containing M00 is executed. When the program is
stopped, all existing modal information remains unchanged as in single block operation. The
cycle operation can be restarted by specifying a CNC start. It is the programmer's
responsibility to program an M03, M04, M13, or M14 to restart spindle and turn coolant on
when restarting the program after an M00 program stop.
 
9.4.2.2 Optional Stop (M01)
Performs the same function as M00 but will not stop the cycle unless [Optional Stop]
push-button is activated (illuminated) before the block containing the M01 is read by the
control. If “Optional Stop” is not activated, the cycle will continue without stopping. When
active, the “Cycle Start” light goes out, “Optional Stop” lights up and [Feed Hold] light is

 
  9. Power On and Power Off 9-5
 
illuminated. This function is useful when it is necessary to gauge the workpiece during setup.
Pushing “Cycle Start” push-button allows program to continue. It is the programmer's
responsibility to program an M03, M04, M08, M13 or M14 to restart spindle and turn
coolant on when restarting program after an M01 Optional Stop.
ON: Press the button, button lamp will light up.
M01
Machine will be stopped after the block containing the M01 is read by the
control. Machine will be restarted after release the Optional Stop
push-button.
OFF: Release the button, button lamp will go out.
Machine will continue without stopping after the block containing the M01
is read by the control.
 
9.4.2.3 End of Program (M02, M30)
The M02 or M30 is used at the end of the program. It is usually the last block programmed.
It stops the spindle and turns coolant off. [Cycle Start] light goes out and Feedhold light
flashes intermittently. When entering a program in memory from MDI keyboard, placing
M30 at end of program will cause program to automatically return to stop when M30 is
encountered in the enabled program.
 
9.4.2.4 Feedhold button
The axial movement will be feedhold temporary when this push button has
been depressed while machine is in operation at the mode of AUTO or MDI
selection. But spindle and coolant will be active continuously.
The light will be light up when Feedhold button has been depressed.
.The feed will be decelerated when machine axis is moving.
.Dwell will be cancelled when program is in G04 status.
M, S, T or B action will be executed till end of single block.

Note 1: If mode selector turns to Handle mode while program is executing, the
NC will be shift to machine block status.
Note 2: NC will be alert while program is executing, then NC will be shift to

the operator‘s door. The drawbar will stay in the open position as long as the
button is held depressed. The button light will flash in 30 seconds valid for
tool unclamping from Spindle. The spindle unclamping function will be
invalid once light flashing stopped. This push-button is available only when
spindle rotation is stopped and machine is out of cycle.

9.4.2.6 Reset
The Reset push-button is active anytime after the control is ON. It cancels
active spindle speed and slide motions, resets G and M codes to start-up
conditions, and cancels active offsets. If Tool Change is progressing when
[Reset] is pressed, ATC will progress continuously until “Reset” is held
depressed. “Reset” is also used to clear an alarm state after fault has been
corrected. To return a program in memory to the beginning, press

The block end point PB moves to the point PB' by the amount of manual
movement, and vectors VB1 and VB2 at PB also move to VB1' and VB2'. Vectors
VC1 and VC2 between the next two blocks PB - PC and PC - PD are discarded
and new vectors VC1' and VC2' (VC2' = VC2 in the example above) are produced
from the relation between PB' - PC and PC - PD. However, since VB2' is not a

11. Troubleshooting Guide


This chapter is to guide operator and service personnel in discovering and resolving the errors
or malfunctions emerging from the Programmable Machine Controller (PMC), and the other
alarms from NC or Servo system may be described in the relevant controller manuals supplied
by the controller manufacturer, such as FANUC, MITSUBISHI, SIMENS, HEIDENHAIN, etc.
It depends on the controller attached on your machine. If the following content still can not
help your machine function normally, please check the items described as followed: (1)
Conditions of your machine (as much detailed as possible), (2) Machine Model, (3) Serial No.
(These are all on the machine nameplate), and then contact our Representative or our office in
your territory.
In case of any short circuit or thermal break will be generated by any mechanical overloaded or
mistaken operation, while the electrical malfunction occurs, a prior knowledge of the
components governing the various machine functions can be very useful in segregating the
error of specific area from the control circuit.
As long as the error area has been diagnosed, the electrical components controlling that
function should be checked for proper operation. The coils of any of the electrically held
control devices included within the error area should be checked to inspect if they are in the
proper condition; energized or de-energized as specified in the electrical diagrams. This can be
accomplished by checking the condition of the indicating mechanism on the control device. If
a coil is found to be in the abnormal condition; then the components and related circuitry
controlling the condition of that component must be checked using a volt-ohm meter or similar
checking device. First checks must be certain that 220 Volt supply is being delivered to the
error area. The circuit components will generally operate within a range of 198 to 240 volts. If
the supply voltage is lower than the minimum value, it may be inadequate to energize the
circuit components. In this case, check the transformer output to check if it is within the
prescribed range (220 Volt +/-10%). If not, check the power source to see if line voltage is
being delivered to the electrical system. If the power source and transformer outputs appear to
be adequate, but the voltage being delivered to the error area is low; there is probably a “short”
somewhere in system between the transformer and the error area. The error of malfunction
component will be indicted by checking across each of the circuit components with the proper
voltage being supplied to the error area: the loss of voltage will be detected.
It is quite possible that the coil of the electrically held control device is in the proper condition,
but a system malfunction still exists. In this case, the related circuit components controlling the
condition of that coil would appear to be functioning properly and electrically, thereby
indicting that it is unnecessary to check out the circuit as previously described. In this situation,
the contacts should be inspected for mechanical binding, corrosion, dirt, dust, welded contacts
or similar abnormality.
If the components formerly checked appear to be functioning properly and an error still exists,
check the electrical circuit for such abnormalities as the defective motor, broken or loose
wiring, stuck solenoid, short circuit, etc.
The ordinary component problems and their possible or conceivable factors and reference
remedies are described in this chapter.
