0.1.1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR MACHINE OPERATORS

In order to carry out maintenance on the halted machines, the following sign must be displayed:
DO NOT SWITCH ON – MACHINE HALTED FOR MAINTENANCE
Maintenance operations must only be carried out when the general electrical switch is in
the OFF position.
Maintenance operations may only be carried out if the machine is completely halted and
the main motor is switched off.
This rule must be applied in the following cases in particular:
Maintenance
Adjustments
Inspections and checks
Repair work
Lubrication
Cleaning
The machine contains devices which accumulate electrical energy, and so it is necessary
to wait for approximately 10 minutes after switching off the machine, in order to enable the
internal devices to discharge any dangerous tension.
In order to reduce the danger of accidents on the machine, no more than one person must
be present at a time.
Before starting up the machine, ensure that all the covers and accident-prevention devices
are in position and that they are fastened in accordance with these instructions.

0.1.1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHECKING THE ELECTRICAL DEVICES

It is dangerous for people to come into contact with the electrical parts under tension, even
those at low voltage. For this reason, qualified personnel only, i.e. professional
electricians, are permitted to operate on the electrical system of the machine.
The machine contains apparatus which accumulate energy, therefore it is necessary to
wait approximately 10 minutes after switching it off in order to enable the internal devices
to discharge any dangerous tension.
Before operating on the electrical parts of the machine, the following instructions must be
followed:
Before opening the electrical panel, switch the general switch to the OFF position.
Remove the main fuses.
Use a voltmeter to test all the input terminals to ensure that the power supply (electrical
current) is switched off.
Should it be necessary to work without switching off the current, particular care must be
taken, and the tools used must be in optimal condition and type-tested.
All work in which it is necessary to touch non-isolated contacts or terminals, or in which
they could be touched accidentally, must be carried out with the power switched off.
Whenever any connection is made on the machine, the earth wire (Yellow/Green) must be
connected first.
Whenever any electrical cable is disconnected, the earth wire (Yellow/Green) must be
disconnected last.
All additional components successively connected to the machine must be positioned
downstream of the general switch.
On all occasions of operation on an electrical component a second person must be
present who is able to intervene in the case of accidents caused by electricity and to
guarantee the safety of the first.

0.1.1 SCREEN MAINTENANCE
To keep the screen in perfect working conditions:
1. Keep it cleaned
2. Do not place BB Spring Technology coiling machine in areas which are lacking in
ventilation. Maintain always a proper ventilation to protect the screen and the coiling
machine from overheating and assure a continuous good working.
The touchscreen requires few maintenance: it is suggested to clean the glass surface of
the touchscreen periodically. The most suitable product to clear it, is a solution made of
denatured alcohol and water (half and half). It is possible to use also denatured alcohol
only.
Anyway follow carefully the manufacturer directions if using solvents.
• It is important to avoid the use of chemical product, caustic type, on the

touchscreen. Do not use vinegar base solutions. Do not use petrol or similar.
• Use a soft, and not abrasive, cloth when cleaning.
• Wet the cloth before cleaning the screen. Spray the cleaning solution on the cloth
and never directly on the screen, in order to avoid any infiltration into the display or
to stain the frame.
• Always handle the touchscreen with care.
The front side of the NC is built in such a way to protect the inside parts from any
infiltration (shaving, dust, fluids, …) which could seriously damage the control and create
dangerous situations.
It is necessary to check the seals and closing doors conditions periodically and replace
them if damaged.

2.4 REGULATION OF THE SPEED FEEDING (OVERRIDE)
The speed regulator allows the operator to vary the feeding speed (in percentage) compared with
the speed set in the spring program. The regulator allows the operator to change the speed during
the productive cycle in a simple and fast way, without modifying the data memorized in the used
program.
If the already memorized values must be varied, it is recommended to act on the program: the
regulator must be used only for temporary speed modifications.
To use the OVERRIDE regulator, it is necessary:
• To visualize the quote window, pushing on QUOTE in the menu bar at the bottom.
• To place the pen on the OVERRIDE regulator and move towards right to increase the
speed or towards left to decrease it.
IMPORTANT:
If the regulator is on the 0% position, the machine will act with a feeding speed equal to 0,
so no axis will be moved (The machine is in START cycle, but the axis are stopped)

4 PROGRAMMING
4.1 OPERATIONAL MODES
The machine automatically goes in MANUAL or AUTOMATIC mode
Pushing the START key, the automatic cycle is active and the production
is initiated.
If the DEBUG key is active, the cycle is performed proportional to the
speed of the handwheel
Pushing the END CYCLE key, the machine stops as soon as possible.
Premendo il pulsante fine ciclo, la macchina si arresta a fine molla nel più
breve tempo possibile. Because of the quick pre-calculation of the
Numerical Control, it is possible that with simple springs, other 3-4 springs
can be produced after having pushed the key. A different icon signals that
the cycle is arrested.
Pushing the STOP key, the machine stops immediately. It is possible to
continue the cycle by pushing the START key or to cancel the operation
by pushing again this key that, in the meanwhile, has a different icon.
When the machine is not in production through one of the previous cases, then it is in
MANUAL mode.
To select the axis, it is enough to select a field of the axis column (in the table of the
program) and then move the handwheel.

The trigger of the DEBUG function can be made only when the machine is switched off
and the program is regularly saved.
When this key is activated, the Numerical Control is in DEBUG function.

When the key is lightened, by pushing start, the production cycle acts through a speed
proportional to the speed of the handwheel.
In the table the line n execution is highlighted.
To stop the DEBUG function, push the END CYCLE key and wait the stop by moving the
handwheel, or press STOP or RESET to stop immediately.

5 AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS
5.1 GENERALITIES
The auxiliary functions of the Numerical Control are the following:
• Entry functions
• Exit functions
• Feeler functions
To use these functions, it is necessary to write the function “M” in the column “COMMAND”
and in the line of the program.
5.2 ENTRY FUNCTIONS

These functions let the numerical control to check if there is an external signal which
obstructs the usual program working.
The machine, with the entry checking function, stops until when the signal arrives to the
relevant entry.
The entry functions concerning the two available entries are :
M0 Stop cycle in Hold and restart with start button

M50 Wait for descent of INP1 input entry
M51 Wait for ascent of INP1 input entry
M60 Wait for descent of INP2 input entry
M61 Wait for ascent of INP2 input entry
5.3 EXIT FUNCTIONS

These functions let the numerical control to activated the optional exits.
M10 Reset OUT1 exit

M11 Set OUT1 exit
M20 Reset OUT2 exit
M21 Set OUT2 exit
5.4 PROBE FUNCTIONS

6 TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 GENERAL DATA

Every time the machine is switched its Numeric Control runs a self-test of the electronic
devices. After this self-test it is possible to proceed performing the various phases of the
machine starting (see chapter 5).
The last alarm signal activated are visualised in a window (as in figure 13.1a, on this
window there are the code and the description of the alarm.
The production cycle may continue only when the source of the error shown on the page
"ALARM" is eliminated and the key CLEAR is pushed (2).
The correct elimination of the error source will be confirmed by the fact that the alarm
window will disappear.
ATTENTION!
If you require the intervention of the technicians of BB SPRING TECHNOLOGY to
eliminate the source of an alarm, please communicate always the identification and the
code of the alarm, visualized in the window "ALARM". This speed up the identification of
the error source.
