taken when manually removing the machined workpieces! The workpieces can
still be very hot even though they are cooled while being machined!
2.8 Special types of hazards
YOU MUST NOT CARRY OUT WORKS IN CLOSE VICINITY OF THE

MACHINE THAT CAUSES FLYING SPARKS (E. G. GRINDING)!
THERE IS A RISK OF FIRE!
2.8.1 Electrical
• Use only original circuit breakers with the prescribed current and voltage ratings.
Switch off the machine immediately when a malfunction in the electrical supply of
the machine is discovered!
• Work done on the electrical equipment or operating materials of the machine
may only be carried out by an electrician or by trained personnel under the
guidance and supervision of an electrician in accordance with the regulations

• Machine and equipment parts on which inspection, maintenance and repair work
must be done may not carry current or be under voltage when conducting such
work! Switch off the corresponding equipment!
• The electrical equipment of a machine is to be inspected regularly. Defects such
as loose connections must be repaired immediately!
2.8.2 Hydraulic and pneumatic systems (if present)

• Work on the pneumatic and hydraulic equipment may only be carried out by
persons with special knowledge and experience in pneumatics!
• All lines, hoses and threaded connections must be inspected regularly for leaks
and other recognizable external damage! Repair damage immediately! Oil
spraying out of the machine can cause injury and burns and can also harm the
environment.
• Depressurize any sections of the system and compressed air lines
(hydraulic/compressed air) before beginning the repair work!
• Do not confuse the hydraulic and compressed air lines!
• Exchange the hydraulic hoses in suitable intervals even when you cannot find
any defects that may affect the safety of the machine.
2.8.3 Oil, grease and other chemical substances

• You must observe the applicable safety regulations for the product when
handling oil, grease and other chemical substances!
• Take care when handling hot operational and auxiliary materials! You may burn
or scald yourself!

2.9 Danger through vertical axes and tilted axes
THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF ACCIDENT AND INJURY FOR THE

USER IN CASE OF VERTICAL OR TILTED AXES BECAUSE THEY
CAN FALL DOWN OR START MOVING WHEN NOT EXPECTED!
IN SPITE OF SAFETY DEVICES (MOTOR BRAKES, FIXING

DEVICES ETC.) THE STAY BELOW THE VERTICAL AXIS OR AT
THE TILTED AXIS RESPECTIVELY MUST BE LIMITED AS FAR
AS POSSIBLE IN CASE OF MANUAL WORK AND FORBIDDEN
IN CASE OF SET UP WORK!
2.10 Emergency OFF

• To immediately stop the machine in case of an emergency press down the red
Emergency OFF button on the machine operator panel (see also book A User
information, Chapter 3 Product Description)!
Figure 2-1: Picture of the Emergency OFF button on the machine TC600

2.11 Fire and explosion hazards/other hazards

Machine tools, e.g. for turning, milling, grinding, etc., that work with cutting oils, emulsions
(even water-based emulsions with a concentration >10%) can catch fire suddenly, even
when working dry. Explosive mixtures can also form in the closed working area when
using machine tools. When working dry, very fine metal particles may also be produced
that can lead to a dust explosion.
We would especially like to point out that the use of cutting oils of any kind as well as of
emulsions with concentrations >10% or dry work can only be done when the machine is
equipped with the corresponding fire and explosion prevention equipment. This
equipment can be purchased separately as an option. If the machine operator decides not
to use this equipment, then he or she must accept the fact that the machine's uses are
limited and that he or she assumes the risk of a fire or explosion when using cutting oils
or when working dry.
F
SPINNER DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY WHEN
THE MACHINE OPERATOR IGNORES THESE FIRE AND
EXPLOSION HAZARDS OR USES THE MACHINE WITHOUT
THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT REQUIRED TO USE THE MACHINE!
There is still a small potential for danger that cannot be eliminated even if you have taken
all safety precautions. These dangers may only arise under certain circumstances or
cannot be recognized as hazardous. We would especially like to point out that you should
pay attention every time you use the machine. Inattention can lead to bodily injury and
damaged equipment.
2.12 Danger during machining bar material
WHEN MACHINING BAR MATERIAL NEVER INTRODUCE THE

BAR INTO THE SPINDEL WHEN THE SPINDLE IS STILL
RUNNING! THERE IS A RISK TO BE HIT AND HURT BY TURNING
MACHINE ELEMENTS!
THE BAR MATERIAL MUST NOT BE LONGER THAN THE
LENGTH OF THE SPINDLE UNLESS A BARFEEDER IS USED!
WITHOUT BAR FEEDER THE BAR MATERIAL MUST NOT JUT
OUT OF THE SPINDLE! THERE IS RISK TO BE HURT BY
TURNING AND POSSIBLY SNAPED OFF BARS!

2.13 Risk for the health because of the pulverization of the coolant
WHEN MACHINING PIECES USING COOLANT, THE RESULT IS A

VERY FINE PULVERIZATION OF THE COOLANT! THIS
COOLANT MIST CAN COME OUT DURING THE MACHINING
THROUGH OPENINGS WHICH RESULT FROM THE DESIGN OF
THE MACHINE (E.G DISCHARGE SLIDE OF THE PART
CATCHER ETC.) OR AFTER THE MACHINING WHEN OPENING
THE SAFETY DOOR! BREATHING IN THIS MIST CAN BE A HIGH
RISK FOR THE HEALTH AND MUST BE AVOIDED! TO KEEP THE
LEVEL OF THE COOLANT MIST ALREADY LOW FROM THE
BEGINNING OF THE MACHINING WE RECOMMEND TO INSTALL
A SUITABLE ELECTROSTATIC EXHAUSTER!
2.14 Danger from chuck and chuck jaws

The machine casing is only designed to retain flying chuck jaws for chuck types and
chuck diameters approved and factory-fitted by Spinner for the particular machine. Under
no circumstances should the operator fit a chuck with a greater diameter or jaw weight
without also reducing the rotational speed to a safe level.
For customised jaws with a diameter </= the diameter specified in the technical data, it
should be checked whether any parts that could come loose are > the jaw weight. If this is
the case, the speed must again be reduced to a safe level.
Generally, the maximum spindle speed must be kept below the maximum rotational
speed for the chuck as specified by the chuck manufacturer.
F ON MACHINES FACTORY-EQUIPPED WITH CHUCKS, IT MAY

BE NECESSARY TO RESTRICT THE MAXIMUM SPINDLE
SPEED TO THE MAXIMUM ROTATIONAL SPEED OF THE
CHUCK AS SPECIFIED BY THE CHUCK MANUFACTURER.

The following warning signs and labels are located on the machine to illustrate this point:
This sign illustrates the relationship between the

d
V =π × Smax < 50m/sec permissible circumferential chuck speed and the
60 safety door resistance class. The max. spindle speed
V
Smax results from the diameter of the chuck and the
Smax
 1  permissible circumferential chuck speed of the safety
 min  door.
d [m]
This sign indicates the safe distance (>20cm) the

operator must be away from the machine/safety door
when the spindle/machine is running. This distance
must be maintained because the door may become
deformed when a chuck jaw or the workpiece flies
off.
> 20 cm !
This sign indicates the max. permissible spindle

speed depending on the type of chuck used. The
chuck speed is specified by the chuck manufacturer
or limited by the safety door resistance class.
S max. !

2.14.1 Mounting top jaws

When mounting top jaws take care of using screws with the correct length. Use screws of
the quality class 12.9.
Screw M6 M8 M10 M12 M16 M20

Torque 10 30 45 70 170 300
2.14.2 Clamping force
WHEN ADJUSTING THE CLAMPING PRESSURE NOTE THE

MAXIMUM ADMISSIBLE CLAMPING FORCE OF THE CHUCK!
TOO HIGHLY ADJUSTED CLAMPING FORCES CAN DAMAGE
THE CHUCK! JAWS, PARTS OF THE CHUCK OR THE
WORKPIECE CAN THEN FLY OFF! THERE IS A HIGH DANGER
OF BODILY INJURY!
SEE CORRESPONDING DIAGRAM IN CHAPTER „PRODUCT

DESCRIPTION“!

2.15 Customer´s own pressurized air functions

IT IS THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT
PRESSURIZED AIR FUNCTIONS CONNECTED/SET-UP ON THE
PRESSURIZED AIR CONNECTIONS PROVIDED ON THE
MACHINE WHICH THEY HAVE RECEIVED FROM SPINNER, ARE
COMPLIANT TO THE RELEVANT SAFETY STANDARDS. NO
DANGER TO THE PERSONNEL OR MACHINE MAY RESULT IN
NORMAL OPERATION, WITH THE EMERGENCY-STOP OF THE
MACHINE, DURING A RESET, AS A RESULT OF PRESSURE
LOSS OR WHEN OPENING A SAFETY DOOR AS A RESULT OF
THESE PRESSURIZED AIR FUNCTIONS!
2.16 Avoiding water pollution

An absolute impermeability to leaks cannot be guaranteed under every mounting and
application condition with every machine. A danger of cooling lubricant loss when
inserting and removing workpieces or due to the rupture of a hydraulic connection within
the system can lead to the emergence of lubricant oil in special individual cases causing
contamination of the ground.
The operator of the machine has to undertake the following measures depending on the
installation site of the machine and onsite conditions as well as the national regulations
which apply:
− THE MACHINE MUST BE INSTALLED IN A SUITABLE,

RESISTANT AND LIQUID SEALED COLLECTION PAN,
WHEREBY THE COLLECTION VOLUME OF THE PAN MAY
NOT BE LESS THAN 10 % OF THE STORED QUANTITY OR
THE CONTENT OF THE LARGEST CONTAINER!
− ALL HOSES, LINES (INCLUDING PRESSURELESS RETURN

LINES) AND TANKS SHOULD BE INSPECTED REGURLARY
TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE SEALED!
CONTACT THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY IF

SURFACE RIVERS/STREAM BECOMES CONTAMINATED!

The ratings plate and the CE symbol are located for the series TC600 on the left side of
the machine.
The ratings plate contains the following statements: Machine number, machine type,
voltage, operation current, nominal current of the safety device and frequency.
3.5 Safety equipment

The seriesTC600 come with a number of passive and active safety devices as standard
equipment. These devices guarantee maximum safety for the operating personnel when
using the machine. It is not permitted to remove this safety equipment or make it
inoperative as this significantly increases the risk of injury or accident.
YOU MAY NOT REMOVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT ON THE

MACHINE OR MAKE IT INOPERATIVE! THIS SIGNIFICANTLY
INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY OR ACCIDENT!
1) Emergency OFF: The Emergency OFF button is located on the operator panel
of the machine control system (see 3-6). It is used to shut down the entire
machine system and are triggered by pressing the button or by a machine
malfunction. It is unlocked again by turning slightly in the direction of the arrow
(see also the picture of the Emergency Off button in Book A User information,
Chapter 2 Basic safety information).
THE EMERGERNCY OFF BUTTON MAY ONLY BE UNLOCKED

AFTER THE REASON WHY THE EMERGENCY OFF WAS
TRIGGERED HAS BEEN CORRECTED! OTHERWISE THERE IS A
HIGH RISK OF INJURY OR ACCIDENT!
2) Safety door: The safety door prevents persons from reaching into the working
area while the machine is running. There is a locking switch to lock the door.
During first starting up the machine the door is unlocked. The closed door is
locked by a one-time opening and subsequent closing or by pressing the NC
start button. While doing this the key-operated switch must be turned to the left
position. The locked door is unlocked by turning the key-operated switch to the
right position or by pressing the NC-stop button.

THE SAFETY DOOR MUST ALWAYS REMAIN CLOSED! THE

KEY-OPERATED SWITCH ON THE SAFETY DOOR MAY NOT BE
DAMAGED, REMOVED OR MADE INOPERATIVE!
3) Safety glass: The safety door is equipped with a high-impact resistant plastic
screen. If a workpiece were to become loose and fly off the chucking tool, then
the safety glass will prevent the workpiece from breaking through. However, in
spite of this safety feature, the operator is still not allowed to stand directly in the
flight path of the spindle, and therefore of the workpiece.
THE SAFETY GLASS MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY

AFTER IT IS BROKEN OR WHEN IT IS CRACKED! IT SHOULD
ALSO BE REPLACED WHEN IT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH A
LOOSE WORKPIECE, EVEN IF NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE
SAFETY GLASS CAN BE FOUND! REPLACE THE SAFETY
GLASSES AFTER 2 YEARS AT THE LATEST FOR AGEING
REASONS!
4) Setting up mode: This one allows to move the axes only with a max.of 2m/min.
ONLY TRAINED PERSONNEL ARE ALLOWED TO WORK IN THE

PERMISSION MODE!
5) Pressure monitors: The pressure monitors are located in the hydraulic unit.
They trigger an emergency off as soon as the pressure of the lines drops below
a preset value.
THE DEFAULT SETTINGS OF THE PRESSURE MONITORS MAY

NOT BE CHANGED!
6) Machine housing: The machine housing protect the operator from rotating and
moving machine parts.

3.6 Warning plates and safety information on the machine

1.2.1 Moving with a lifting truck

The machines in the TC600 production series can be moved using a fork lift or lifting truck
with sufficient lifting and carrying capacity (note that the machine weighs 5,000 kg!) when
the coolant tank/chip conveyor have been removed before. One comes carefully under
the machine from the front, as far under as possible, and then lifts only as much as is
necessary (see Figure 1-1). Mind the balance. The forks of the fork lift or lifting truck must
be at least 2.4 metres long.
WHEN MOVING THE FORKLIFT TRUCK UNDER THE MACHINE

ONE MUST ABSOLUTELY ENSURE THAT THEY DO NOT KNOCK
AGAINST THE MACHINE HOUSING! ONLY LIFT THE MACHINE
UNDER THE MACHINE BASE AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 1-1!

1.3 Transportation over short distances
1.3.1 Packing the machine

The machine must be prepared for transportation before it can be packed. The steps
required for this are described in this chapter under 1.1.
For transportation over short distances the machine from the TC600 production series
stands on a pallet and is screwed to it at the openings in the machine base using screws.
One just uses PE plastic protective sheeting with the appropriate size to cover the goods
to be transported (see Figure 1-3). It is therefore necessary to take great care when
loading and handling the machine to avoid damaging the machine guard. One should
avoid transportation on open vehicles because of the possible negative effects of
moisture.
Fixing screws
Figure 1-3: Transportation over short distance

1.3.2 Unpacking the machine

1. Remove the PE plastic protective sheeting. Check the delivery for damage.
2. Remove the screws which hold the machine to the pallet.
The machine can then be lifted off the pallet using a fork lift.
1.4 Transportation overseas
1.4.1 Packing the machine

The machine must be prepared for transportation before it can be packed. The steps
required for this are described in this chapter under 1.1.
For the purposes of sea transport the machine from the TC600 production range stands
on a pallet and is screwed to it at the openings in the machine base using screws. Two
pieces of PE plastic protective sheeting with the appropriate size are used to cover the
goods. Here one of the pieces of sheeting is pulled up over the machine from below
before the machine is placed on the pallet. A wooden crate is made for the machine
which is different from the system used for transportation over short distances. This
packaging offers a much greater level of protection against damage and environmental
influences compared to open transportation (see Figure 1-5).
F
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO LIFT UP THE WALLS OF THE CRATE
WITH A LIFTING TRUCK OR FORK LIFT TO MAKE IT EASIER
TO SCREW THEM TOGETHER (SEE FIGURE 1-4).
Figure 1-4: Assembly of the crate walls in preparation for transportation by sea

Figure 1-5: Transportation overseas
1.4.2 Unpacking the machine

1. Remove the crate cover and the crate walls.
F IT IS RECOMMENDED TO SUPPORT THE WALLS OF THE

CRATE WITH A LIFTING TRUCK OR FORK LIFT SO THAT
THEY CANNOT FALL DOWN WHEN THE SCREWS ARE
REMOVED (SEE FIGURE 1-4).
2. Remove the upper PE plastic protective sheeting and pull the second one
downwards. Check the delivery for damage.
3. Remove the screws which join the machine to the pallet.
The machine can then be lifted off the pallet using a forklift truck.
1.5 Storage
1.5.1 Introduction
The machine was packed professionally for shipping from the manufacturer to the
customer so as to adequately prevent any damage to the machine during transportation.
The type and quality of the packaging as well as the storage conditions are the deciding
factors in determining how long the machine can be placed in storage after transportation.
The packaging from the manufacturer should therefore not be damaged or changed in
any way.
DAMAGED OR ALTERED PACKAGING CAN SHORTEN THE

STORAGE TIME AFTER TRANSPORTATION! FOR THIS REASON,
DO NOT DAMAGE OR ALTER THE PACKAGING IN ANY WAY!

2.6 Installation
The machine should only be installed by trained service technicians from the Spinner
company or its representatives. You must be familiar with the operation and handling of
the machine, and you must study the technical product documentation and the machine
documentation.
It is recommended to transport the machine to its installation site while it is still in its
packaging as long as there is enough space there to unpack the machine (see Book B
Assembly/Disassembly, Chapter 1 Transportation and storage for information on how to
unpack the machine). Inspect the delivery after removing the transportation packaging to
make sure that the delivery is complete and undamaged (i.e. free of damage due to
transportation and storage).
The installation at the installation site is done on the delivered disks). Put them between
the machine base and the floor. If bigger adjustment is necessary we recommend to use
wedge pads or other levelling elements.
If the machine is used without a barfeeder (option) there is no need to anchor the
machine on the floor otherwise the barfeeder and the machine must be attached to the
floor. This is necessary to keep the alignment between the barfeeder and the spindle of
the machine. For the attachment the machine base has recesses with the corresponding
drillings. We recommend to use anchoring screws of a length of 100-150mm (fixing
accessories are not delivered with the machine).
You need to carry out the following steps to install the machine:
1. If used remove the transportation clamp that held the safety door during the
transportation.
2. Remove all bags of desiccant.
3. Clean all preserved machine parts with a clean cloth.
4. Check the oil level of the central lubrication reservoir and of the hydraulic tank.
Refill the corresponding reservoirs with oil if necessary. Use the oil indicated in
book C Operation/Maintenance, chapter 5 Maintenance.
5. Push the coolant tank / chip conveyor (option) under the machine. Connect the
chip conveyor the coolant pump and the high pressure pump to the machine (see
right side of the machine).
See electric diagram

6. Fill the coolant tank with coolant indicated in book C Operation/Maintenance,

chapter 5 Maintenance (for the location of the coolant tank see book A User
information, chapter 3 Product description).
THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFIED SAFETY MEASURES MUST

BE OBEYED WHEN HANDLING COOLANTS! THIS WORK
CONSTITUTES A HEALTH RISK!

2 Setting up the machine

2.1 Linear position measuring system

The machines from the series TC600 are equipped with a linear position measuring
system to enable the clamping monitoring of the workpiece. While clamping a workpiece
the monitoring checks weather the cylinder is within the indicated tolerance. If not, the
workpiece is not safely clamed. The machining will not be started. A corresponding error
message is displayed. The following figure shows the location of the measuring system at
the end of the clamping cylinder.
Linear position

THE MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE LINEAR MEASURING

SYSTEM IS DONE IN THE FACTORY AND MUST NOT BE CHANGED
BY THE CUSTOMER! CHANGES OF THE ADJUSTMENT CAN DAMAGE
THE MACHINE, THE CHUCK OR THE WORKPIECE!
2.1.1 Adjusting the clamping parameters (Siemens)

To display the actual position of the clamping cylinder as well to fix the clamping stroke
limits you can call up the CLAMPING PARAMETERS screen in the Siemens control
system. To do this, press the PARAMETERS key, than the softkey „Clamping
parameters“.

Figure 2-2: Screen for clamping parameters
The value of the parameter Actual position can neither be adjusted nor be changed.
This parameter only indicates the position of the clamping cylinder while it moves. The
value is read by the sensor and shown by this parameter.
The values for Collet below A), Workpiece from B), Workpiece up to C) and Collet
over D) can be changed. To do this, position the cursor on the corresponding input area,
enter the needed value by means of the keys at the control panel and confirm the entry
with the INPUT key.
The values are determined as follows: Mount the clamping chuck. Move the clamping
cylinder without having a workpiece in the chuck completely in spindle nose direction (in
case of clamping direction at the front = clamped without part, in case of clamping
direction at the back = unclamped). Read the value indicated under Actual position, and
enter this one for example mines 5 into Collet over D). Move the clamping cylinder
without having a workpiece in the chuck completely away from the spindle nose to the
back (in case of clamping direction at the back = clamped without part, in case of
clamping direction at the front = unclamped). Read the value indicated under Actual
position, and enter this one for example plus 5 into Collet below A). Clamp a workpiece
and read the value indicated under Actual position. Complete your adjustment of the
values considering the Actual position by indicating a tolerance. Within this tolerance the
workpiece is clamped. The tolerance is indicated by Workpiece fom B) and Workpiece
upto C). You get a window of values within which the workpiece is well clamped.

THE TOLERANCE MUST BE SELECTED IN THE WAY THAT THE

WORKPIECE IS STILL SAFELY CLAMPED! THE CLAMPING FORCE
WILL DECREASE USING TOO HIGH TOLERANCE VALUES! THE
WORKPIECE CAN BE THROWN OUT OF THE CHUCK AND CAUSE
SERIOUSE DAMAGES TO THE MACHINE!
THE VALUES FOR COLLET BELOW A) AND COLLET OVER D) CAN

NOT BE WITHIN THE WINDOW OF VALUES!
To adjust the clamping direction position the cursor on this area. Than press the
TOGGLE key to change between FRONT and BACK. Confirm you adjustment with
INPUT.
F AN ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE DISPLAYED WHEN MAKING

ILLOGICAL ADJUSTMENTSG.
F WHEN THE MACHINE IS ADPTED TO ANOTHER WORKPIECE

THE ABOVE MENTIONED VALUES MUST BE DETERMINED
AND ENTERED ONCE AGAINE.
2.2 Centre of gravity of the workpiece

IF THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY OF THE WORKPIECE DOES NOT
CORRESPOND WITH THE TURNING CENTRE OF THE
CLAMPING DEVICE (E. G. IN CASE OF NOT ROUND OR
EXCENTRIC WORKPIECES ECT.) THEN A COUNTERWEIGHT
MUST BE USED FOR THE BALANCE! IF THE WORKPIECE IS
TURNED WITHOUT PREVIOUS BALANCEING IT COULD COME
OFF THE CLAMPING DEVICE WITH HIGH SPEED AND CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURIES OR DAMAGE THE MACHINE!

C Operation/Maintenance Machine specific options of the control Siemens 840D-SL

3 Machine specific options of the control

Siemens 840D-SL

3.1 Introduction
This chapter cannot present in detail all the capabilities of the Siemens control system
840D-SL. The following descriptions refer for the most part to machine specific options.
Please refer to the Siemens manuals for more detailed information such as how to use G-
functions for motions or M-functions, S-words, T-words and D-words (additional
functions). The manual contains precise instructions on DIN programming (DIN66025)
and complete lists of all G-functions.
Example:
Test MPF (Main program test))
N05 M3 S2000 (Spindle speed 2000 rpm, clockwise rotation)
N10 T1 D1 (Turn turret to position 1, tool correction D1)
N15 G0 X100 Z20 (Moving X and Z in rapid feed)
N20 G1 X0 F0.2 (Feed 0.2mm/rotation)
N25 ....
N30 ....
N35 M5 (Spindle Stop)
N40 M30 (End of program)
Additional functions:
The additional functions, operating functions and auxiliary functions contain information
about the machining technology. A maximum of 5 M-functions, 1 S-function, 1 T-function
and 1 D-function can be programmed in the same block.
T-functions:
The programmed tool name switches the corresponding station to its machining position
(e.g. T="MILLER" ⇒ turret station 1 if the tool named "MILLER" is located in station 1). If
a number is entered as the name, the tool call proceeds as T="8", T=8, or T8. All three
call variants are equally acceptable.
S-functions:
Generally the S-function contains the spindle speed. See Siemens programming manual
for special cases.
S2-functions:
Generally the S2-function contains the speed of the live tools (e. g. M2=3 S2=1500
means clockwise rotation 1500 1/min).
M-functions:
The M-functions are partially laid down in DIN 66025. A lot of M-functions are determined
by the manufacturer. See chapter 3.11.

Examples:
N0025 T1D1 (Tool 1, tool correction 1)

N0035 M3 S2000 (Spindle speed=2000 1/min, clockwise rotation)

By means of the button Drives ON / Start forced security check you switch ON the drives
and start the forced security check.
During the forced security check special safety parts of the machine are checked.
F IF A FORCED SECURITY CHECK IS NECESSARY (A

CORRESPONDING ALARM IS DISPLAYED) IT IS NOT
POSSIBLE TO OPEN THE SAFETY DOORS.
A forced security check is necessary:

a) When booting the machine
b) When the machine runs > 8h AND opening the door is called up (So machining
parts >8h is possible without problems)

3.4 Setting up mode

In the setting up mode the machine can be operated with limited functionality, and can
therefore be operated when the safety door is open. To enter the setting mode, the key-
operated switch for the safety door must be turned to the „2 o´clock position“ (see
Chapter 3.2.2 for the location of the switch).
When the safety door is open, the following functionality is available in the setting up
mode:
• In the JOG operating mode

By selecting the corresponding axis and pressing the + or - button and in
addition the permission button the axes and spindles can be moved with
reduced speed. Incremental positioning is also possible. The spindles can be
moved by hand because they are not in position regulation. Turret mode is
also possible when the safety door is open. During the rotation of the turret
keep pressed at the same time the key T+/T- and the permission button.
• In the MDA operating mode
No functions are possible.
• In the AUTO operating mode
No functions are possible.

• Diagnostic menu

3.7 The tool management

One accesses the tool list over the softkeys "Parameter” à "Tool list" (see Figure 3-6).
Figure 3-6: The tool list

3.7.1 Setting up tools

In order to work with tools, the tools must first be set up in the tool list. To do this, move
the cursor on to the turret station in which the tool is to be set up and press the "New tool"
soft-key. You can select the tool type as well as the cutting-edge position with additional
soft-keys.
3.7.1.1 Naming tools

Every tool must be assigned a unique name. The name may be a maximum of 17
characters long and may contain letters (A..Z), numbers (0..9), the underscore character
(_) and periods (.). Space characters are not permitted in tool names!
If a number is used as the name, then the name must match the turret tool station
number (a tool named "1" must therefore be set up in turret station 1 - it is not permitted
to set it in turret station 2). Numbers greater than the highest turret tool station number
may be used for all turret tool stations.
3.7.1.2 Replacement tools (option)

In principle, Siemens tool management allows the set-up of several tools designated with
the same name (as replacement tools for particular tool management functions, such as
piece quantity counting, tool-life monitoring, etc.). These identically named tools are then
differentiated from one another by the so-called Duplo-number function.
However, this function is very problematic (and can lead to unintentional machining with
the wrong tool). If it is not attentively used, it will normally be blocked by machine data
when implemented on machines. The function can be activated when needed (contact the
Service Department for more information).
3.7.1.3 Placing two tools in one turret tool station (option)

Under certain circumstances it may be necessary to place two different tools in one turret
tool station (e.g. when working with certain special tools that combine different tool types
in one tool). This can be achieved with the "Place two tools in one turret tool station"
option. The function can be activated when needed (contact the Service Department for
more information). In the tool list, the first tool in a turret position is designated as 1/1, 2/1,
3/1 ... 12/1, tool in a turret position is subsequently designated 1/2, 2/2, 3/2 ... 12/2.

G18 Normal machining by drilling; the tool is set up as drill (Tool type 500-540)
G19 Machining the surface area; the tool is set up as shank end mill without rounding
off of the edge or as drill (tool type 110-250)

3.7.3 Tool changing via manual swinging of the turret

The turret can be swung manually using the "-T" and "+T" keys. Manual turret swinging
results in the automatic selection of the tool that is presently located in the target position
(as long as a tool is present). If there is no tool located in the target position, then the
previously active tool is deselected.
Under certain operating conditions, it may not be possible to automatically select the new
tool. In this case only the previously active tool is deselected.
3.7.4 Programmed tool change
3.7.4.1 Programming a tool change on the DIN interface

Programming of a tool proceeds via T="Name". In this case, "Name" is the name that the
tool was assigned during setup. Name can be a description of the tool (e.g.
ROUGHING_TOOL) or a number (e.g. 8). If a number is entered as the name, the tool
call proceeds as T="8", T=8, or T8. All three call variants are equally acceptable.
3.7.4.2 Programming a tool change on the ShopTurn interface

• In the ShopTurn interface a manual tool change is performed via "T,S,M" ⇒ "Tools" ⇒
select the tool in the tool list (or enter the tool name directly) ⇒ "In manual".
• A tool change in the program takes place in the respective programming screen.
• With MDA and G-code statements in the program, the programming is performed the
same as in the DIN interface.
3.7.5 Rotation direction of the turret

Generally the control of the machine itself determines independently the rotation direction
of the turret to reach the programmed tool on the shortest way. But sometimes it is
necessary to determine the rotation direction of the turret when for example a complete
rotation of the turret is not possible because of some appliances in the working area and
so the turret must not be moved passing certain stations.
3.7.5.1 Determine the direction of the turret rotation by blocking some turret stations
In the tool list certain turret stations can be marked as blocked. The result is that the turret
can not move to these stations anymore. Programming in this case a turret rotation which
would pass by a blocked tool station for the shortest way than the control would select the
other rotation direction, the longer way. Please observe the following when using this
function:
• You only can block tool stations which lie directly next to each other, that means that
the blocked tool stations must be in an unbroken succession.
• You only must set a tool station blocking on the first or the last tool stations (for
example „station 1 and 2 blocked“ or „station 12 blocked“ (in case of a 12-fold turret)
allowed, „station 5 and 6 blocked“ not allowed
• In the tool manager there must not be any tool on one of the blocked tool stations (if
necessary unload)
• Changes of the configuration of the tool station blockings are only activated after
rebooting the machine control or after starting manually the tool manager cycle
TOOL_MAN (start TOOL_MAN in MDA mode)
3.7.6 Measuring up the tools

1. Select the soft-key "Equipment" > "Length manually" (in ShopTurn: "Measure
tool" > "Manually")
2. Touch the tool at the diameter (X-axis) or on the flat surface (Z-axis, e.g. Ø30
mm or 2 mm).

3. Select the x-axis using the soft-key.

4. Enter the current position (in the x-axis as the radius, e.g. 15 mm for Ø=30 mm).
5. Press the "Set length" soft-key. The geometry data is created.
6. Terminate the input screen with "Exit".
3.7.7 Entry of wear parameters

1. Select the "Tool wear" soft-key.
2. Position the soft-key on the entry field "∆ length X" or "∆ length Z".
3. Press the Edit key . Place the cursor at the end of the input field.
4. Enter the correction values with the prefix + or -.
5. Press the yellow Enter key . The correction value will be added automatically
to the previously existing wear values.
ENTER THE CORRECTION VALUE AS A RADIUS!
3.7.8 Initializing the tool management

Initialization of tool management is generally only necessary during the first
commissioning of the machine and must not be carried out again subsequently. However,
a new initialization may be necessary in individual cases later on, e.g. during certain
software upgrades or the occurrence of certain errors.
Tool management is initialized by the cycle call REVOLVER. Initialization erases all
stored tool data. If certain tool profile data is necessary for usage later on, then this
information is to backed up before initialization (e.g. via the ShopTurn user interface using
"Progr. Manager" ⇒ "Miscellaneous" ⇒ "Data Backup"). After initialization, the data can
be loaded again. The active tool must be deselected before initialization begins (T0).

3.8 Moving the sub-spindle to the dead stop (optional)

The sub-spindle axis Z can be programmed with torque limitation. This is necessary when
the sub-spindle is used as a tailstock, for example, or when the sub-spindle with an
integrated dead stop moves hard towards a workpiece and this should sit well against the
dead stop. The program commands are as follows:
FXS[Z2]=1 Select “Move to the dead stop”

FXS[Z2]=0 De-select “Move to the dead stop”
FXST[Z2]=0-100 Select the clamping torque as a % of the motor torque
FXSW[Z2]=2 Select the width of the monitoring window as 2mm
FXS[Z2]=0/1 The command for the selection of the torque limiting must be in the
same program block, in which the axial movement for the dead stop is
programmed. A position must be programmed here which is at least 2
mm behind the actual stop. Once the dead stop has been de-selected
an axial movement of the Z-axis away from the stop must
programmed. There is inherent danger here of damaging the
machine.
FXST[Z2]=0-100 For programming in a program block with an FXS-command or in any

desired program block after selecting torque limiting. These will first
become active in the next program block in which an axial movement
is programmed. If this command is not programmed in then the stored
value of the setting record 43510 “FIXED_STOP_TORQUE” will be
used instead. No more than 40% of the motor torque should be
selected in order to avoid causing damage.
FXSW[Z2]= As long as the Z-axis is sitting at the dead stop its position will be
monitored so that a break off of the stop can be observed, for
example. The window should be selected to be as small as possible. If
this value is not selected the program will take the value stored in the
setting record 43520 “FIXED STOPPED WINDOW”.
$AA_FXS[axis] This system variable delivers the status of „Traveling to fixed stop“ for
the specified axis:
0: Axis is not at the stop
1: The stop was approached successfully
(Axis is in fixed-stop monitoring window)
2: Fixed-stop approach was not successfully
3: Travel to fixed stop activated
4: Stop was recognized
5: Travel to fixed stop will be deselected
The interrogation of the system variable in the part program triggers a
preprocessing.

USE OF THE FUNCTION „DEAD STOP“ REQUIRES A GOOD

DEAL OF CARE ON THE PART OF THE PROGRAMMER, SINCE
THE MAXIMUM SETTABLE TORQUE CANNOT BE LIMITED BY
THE MANUFACTURER! ONE SHOULD NEVER RUN AT 100% OF
THE POSSIBLE MOTOR TORQUE, SINCE THE FORCES
GENERATED COULD LEAD TO SELF-DESTRUCTION OF THE
FEED SPINDLE OR TO EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO OTHER
MACHINE PARTS! THUS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE TORQUE
SHOULD BE LIMITED TO 40%!

3.9 Programming the C-Axis

The programming runs according to DIN 66025. Additional information to the explanation
given below can be found in the SIEMENS-manual "Programming Instructions” - Chapter
on Cylindrical Interpolation and Transmit.
The following commands are used in the programming of the C-axis:
C_AXIS_ON Select the main spindle on the C-axis with the reference point C=0
degrees
SPOS[3]=0 Select the sub-spindle on the C-axis with the reference point C=0
degrees
C_AXIS_OF De-select the C-axis (main, sub-spindle)
C1=15 The main spindle is positioned to 15 degrees
C3=15 The sub-spindle is positioned to 15 degrees
TRAFOOF De-select all co-ordinate transformations (Tracyl, Transmit)
DIAMON Select diameter programming
DIAMOF De-select diameter programming
TRACYL Select cylindrical interpolation (machining in the ZY=G19 plane)
TRANSMIT Select TRANSMIT (diameter programming XY=G17 plane)
Conditions for calling up TRACYL and TRANSMIT:

TRACYL TRAFOOF, SPOS=0
TRANSMIT TRAFOOF, SPOS=0, G40, DIAMOF
Conditions after calling up TRACYL and TRANSMIT:

TRACYL G19, DIAMON
TRANSMIT G17, G94
An example:
N020 C_AXIS_ON
N030 SPOS=0 Select the main spindle C-axis with the reference point C=0

N050 C1=15 F800 Milling at feedrate degrees/min
N100 C_AXIS_OF Swing out C axis (spindle mode)
3.9.1 Absolute programming of the C-axis

Rapid traverse: G0 G90 G94 C1=...
Feedrate: G1 G90 G94 C1=...F...
C= angle in degrees, -360° ≤ C ≤ 360°
F= feedrate in degrees/minute, max. value = 10000

3.9.2 Relative programming of the C-axis

Rapid traverse: G0 G91 G94 C1=...
Feedrate: G1 G91 G94 C1=...F...
C= angle in degrees, -99999° ≤ C ≤ 99999°
F= feedrate in degrees/minute, max. value = 10000
3.9.3 Conversion of the feedrate mm/min in degrees/min

The conversion is only necessary when one must operate without the software option
"Cylindrical interpolation”:
Degrees/min = (F x 180) / (π x r)
r = Radius of the workpiece in mm; F = Feedrate for milling in mm/min
An example:
F = 100mm/min The desired miller feedrate

r = 20mm The radius of the workpiece which should be milled
Degrees/min = (100 x 180) / 3.14 x 20)

Degrees/min = 286.47
One must program a feedrate of 286 degrees/min in order for the miller, when moving
around the workpiece, to be travelling at a calculated feedrate of ca. 100 mm/min.
3.9.4 Cylindrical interpolation

Cylindrical interpolation allows simple programming of any desired contours on the
surface of the casing. One programs:
TRACYL (100,1) for the partial diameter, 100mm, the machining spindle
TRACYL (150,2) for the partial diameter 150mm, the second spindle
TRAFOOF De-select TRACYL

2) One programs in the ZY-plane.
3) The external diameter of the workpiece is defined in the TRACYL-command.
4) The feed axis is the X-axis.
5) Miller radius correction is possible using G41/G42.
Tool definition:
1) The machining tool is defined as an end mill cutter type 120.
2) L1=X1; L2=Z1; L3=0
3) Enter the miller radius when using G41 or G42

3.9.5 Transmit
The co-ordinate transformation TRANSMIT allows milling of the rear-side of rotary

3.10 Measuring sensor

In the following you will find a short description of the function of the "Mida"- measuring
sensor with infrared transmission as work piece measuring sensor
3.10.1 Installation
The measuring head is fixed on a tool holder so it can be mounted to the slide or any
turret station. This turret station corresponds to the tool number of the measuring sensor.
When programming this tool number the infrared LEDs at the measuring head point to
the receiver module which is fixed in the working area. The green LED in the receiver
indicates a correct adjustment of the receiver but also the radiation with a light or heat
source. The yellow one indicates its power supply.
3.10.2 Activation
The measuring sensor is activated in a parts program using M58. At the same time the
monitoring of the infrared transmission is started. During the initiation procedure (1.5 sec.)
the read access as well as the feed of all axes are blocked in channel 1. The message
"Wait for initiation of measuring head" is displayed. After that the measuring head is
operational for 2:15min (message: Measuring head operational). If the measuring sensor
is moved within this period of time the period restarts. A new initiation with M58 is only
carried out when the standby period had been run out before, or the monitoring had been
deactivated otherwise (e. g. with M59).
Starting the measuring head for test reasons is also possible by pressing the Start/Reset-
button on the Interface-Unit E48. In this case no message will be displayed.
3.10.3 Deactivation
The measuring head deactivates itself automatically after 2:15min. It can also be
deactivated using M59, Reset or the next T-command. All corresponding messages of the
measuring-head will then disappear except "Battery low".
Switching the probe longer than 2:15min will generate an error message.
3.10.4 Adjustment
After mounting the measuring sensor there must be set up a tool correction using the
number of the tool station where the sensor is mounted. For that move the axes in
succession to a known machine position using the command MEAS (see programming
sample). Then enter the difference between the known position and the measured
position (variable $AA_MM[axis]) into the tool correction of this axis. This has to be done
respectively for all considered axes if one of the following parameters has changed:
- Feed rate during measuring

- Length of touch-probe
- Used angle piece
- Mounting position of the crash-part
- Measuring direction
If necessary set up several cutting edges.

N70 G0 Z100 ; Moving the measuring sensor away from
the work piece
N80 M59 ; Switching off the monitoring of the
measuring sensor
3.10.5 Feedrate for measuring

1. With a feed rate up to 600mm/min there can be measured positions with a
accuracy in a range of 1 µm. If the turret is indexed between 2 measurements we
cannot warranty this accuracy.
2. The feed rate for measuring must be in a range within the axis can be stopped
after having measured, without being damaged. Maximum speed around
3000mm/min.
3. Measure always with the same feed rate you applied when setting up the tool
correction for the measuring sensor.

PROGRAMME ALWAYS M58 AT THE HEAD OF A MEASURING PROCEDURE TO

MAKE SURE THAT THE MEASURING HEAD IS STILL ACTIVE AT THE
MEASURING-POINT. WHEN THE STANDBY TIME RUNS OUT DURING A
MEASURING SENTENCE THIS WILL LEAD TO AN INCORRECT MEASURING
OUTCOME. IN THIS CASE THE MACHINE STOPS, AN ALARM MESSAGE IS
DISPLAYED AND THE MEASURING MUST BE REPEATED.
IN SPITE OF THE CURRENT MESSAGE "MEASURING HEAD READY"
RESPECTIVELY "MEASURING HEAD SWITCHED" A MOVEMENT OF THE
MEASURING HEAD WILL ONLY BE STOPPED BY A MEAS SENTENCE. IN ALL
OTHER CASES THE MEASURING SENSOR CAN BE DESTROYED.
THE OPERATOR/PROGRAMMER HIMSELF MUST AVOID THE COLLISION OF
THE MEASURING SENSOR WITH THE WALLS OF THE WORKING AREA, THE
SPINDLE OR THE WORK PIECE!
3.10.6 Error messages

700500 Error with measurement device
Cause The transmission between the measuring head and the receiver
could not be established or has been prematurely interrupted
(obstacle in the communication link, transmitter and receiver are not
correctly aligned, the battery is too low, the measuring head is not
installed, the standby time has run out during the current measuring
sentence).
Reaction Read lock and feed lock
Solution RESET, remedy the cause, restart program
700532 Low battery measurement transmitter

Cause Battery power too low, dirt on the transmitter or receiver respectively
both are not correctly aligned.
Reaction None
Solution Replace the 9V battery of the measuring head or dismantle the head.
Note If the period between the measuring procedures is underneath 2min
15s, the measuring head remains constantly activated and the life
span of the battery is accordingly short.

3.11 UNIMAG-interface description
3.11.1 Safety information

We point out that the function and circuit descriptions in this chapter must absolutely be
kept.
The departure from the instructions of this description is only permitted after consulting
Spinner.
The declaration of conformity delivered with this machine (EC Machine direction Machine
98/37/EC) and the CE sign are only valid for the extended machine when the type and
make of the peripheral unit were arranged with Spinner.
The CE declaration of conformity is no more valid in case of the non-compliance of these

points.
3.11.2 Conditions for a safe operation of the machine
3.11.2.1 Safe cutoff of the bar feeder when the safety door of the machine is open
The main danger of the turning machine is that the bar is pushed while the safety door of
the machine is open and the operator is still working in the working area.
The signal SAFETY DOOR CLOSED (PIN18-19) was intended for the safe cutoff of the
machine.
The following circuit principle must be observed in the bar feeder:

Signal Safety door closed
On the one hand the pushing of the bar must safely be enabled by means of this signal,
on the other hand it must also block the pushing of the bar when the safety door is open.
Both signals must absolutely be processed by a contact in intrinsically safe technology.

Ideally, both signals enable directly the 2 motor contactors respectively they block these
contactors when the safety door is open.
IT IS NOT PERMITTED TO PROCESS BOTH SIGNALS IN THE

SOFTWARE (PMC) OF THE BAR FEEDER!

3.11.3 Structure NC-parts program

The UNIMAG-interface is a universal feed-interface over which feed units or magazines
from the majority of manufacturers can be driven. The following syntax must be observed
in order to obtain a smooth NC programming sequence:

program)

F $A_OUT[16]:
− $A_OUT[16] IS SET FROM THE FEED

− BAR END REACHED, $A_OUT[16]=TRUE
− BAR END NOT REACHED, $A_OUT[16] REMAINS ZERO
− $A_OUT[16] IS RESET IN THE NC-PROGRAM, $A_OUT[16]=FALSE
F $A_OUT[15]:
− $A_OUT[15] IS SET BY THE LATHE IF A BAR CHANGE HAS

OCCURRED AFTER THE END OF THE BAR AND THE NC PROGRAM
HAS BEEN AUTOMATICALLY RESTARTED.
− $A_OUT[15] IS AUTOMATICALLY RESET AS SOON AS
$A-OUT[16] IS RESET IN THE NC PROGRAM.
M-functions that can be used in the NC programs for handling bar loaders or
magazines:
M53: Query if the feed is in motion. Sets a load block until the supply unit is not moving
any more. (Only active when MD14512[101], bit 1 = 1)
M54: Move START (Only active when MD14512[100], bit 3 = 1)

Does not move or is stopped when:
• No material is present (Only active when bit 7 of MD14512
$MN_USER_DATA_HEX[100] is equal to 1, See page 8 )
• Emergency OFF
• Bar feeder or magazine malfunction
• NC reset
• Doors open
• M68 or collet is closed (or M154)
M68: Close collet and move STOP

(M48 for TM-series machines when the interface for Spindle B is active)
M69: Open collet and move START

(M49 for TM-series machines when the interface for Spindle B is active))
Does not move or is stopped when:
• No material present (when material is available again, the Move signal is sent
again)
• Emergency OFF
• Bar feeder or magazine malfunction
• NC reset
• Doors open
• M68 or collet is closed
• M 30 and M 2 terminate moving

M153: START Loading Cycle at Beginning of Program (see also 0, Example 6)

• M153 triggers a loading cycle at the beginning of the program followed by a
program restart if there is no material available. The spindle must be released
for this to be done.
• If M153 is programmed when there is no material available and the spindle is
clamped, then processing is aborted and message "701259 Release main
spindle to change bar" is triggered.
• M153 does not trigger any action when material is available.
M154: STOP Move
• A move command triggered by M54 or M69 is stopped or suppressed with M154
(Example: "M69 M154" opens the spindle without advancing it)
In the case of magazines which have an automatic bar change one should ensure that
the collet is opened at the end of the program when the end of the bar is reached.
The command M54 "move" is only necessary for hydro-static feeders with non-gripping
moving heads (e.g. SAMECA-Monosam). The "normal" moving command during the
period that the collet is open is issued automatically with the M-function M69 and
cancelled with M68. M54 can also, however, be used as pure move/acknowledgement
function by setting options bits, that is the move command will only be issued with M54
and the read release for the next NC-block will be locked out until the M-function from the
bar feed has been acknowledged.
When feeding out the bar the stop should first of all be positioned at a safe distance from
the bar and then moved axially in the direction of the bar, to ensure that the bar is pushed
back if the finished part was not cut off.
One should basically observe the program structure given above. Other programming
sequences do exist, however, (e.g. issue the bar at the beginning of the program) while
fulfilling the general conditions which apply (see programming example).
Single or series machining can be selected with the key on the machine control
console. In the case of single part machining (LED OFF) the program stops after M30
while in the case of series part machining (LED ON) an NC start is executed automatically
after M30 and the program will run endlessly.
3.11.4 Signal description for the interface

• From the feed device to the lathe
No fault existing:
This signal is "high” for as long as there is no fault on the bar feed. If a fault is
reported (signal is "low”) then the lathe shifts over to the Emergency Stop
condition.
Material in place:
This signal is generally "high”. The signal will be "low” the end of the bar is
reached and at the end of the program, a bar change is triggered with M30
and an open collet. The Move signal triggered by M69 is reset by the low
signal.

Feed-in position reached:

This signal is given out by magazines with automatic bar change. If a new bar
is pushed into the machine when a bar change occurs then the signal must be
"high” on reaching the feed-in position. The positive edge of this signal starts
operating the lathe after changing bars.
Feed is in motion:
This signal is "high”, when the slide is in motion. If the M-function M53 is
programmed in the lathe, the read release will be locked out while this signal
is "high”.
Max. slider position reached / optimization of the remaining piece:

This signal is "high” as soon as the slider has reached its maximum position in
the lathe. An analysis of the optimization of the remaining piece is not
available at this time. With the option "Optimisation of remaining piece" you
can optimally utilise the rest of the piece - as long as the bar feeder support
this function. If the rest of the piece is not long enough to machine another
workpiece, then the lathe is informed of this by a signal. The signal can be
polled in the NC program using the system variable $A_IN[8]. Once the
current workpiece is complete, the program can go to a subprogram that
machines one or more shorter pieces (see also 0, Example 5)
Emergency-Stop:
The Emergency-Stop is executed on two channels at once. If the contacts are
opened, the Emergency-Stop on the lathe will be triggered and all drives are
stopped.
Caution: The two contacts must be the free contacts of the Emergency OFF
button on the bar loader.
Identification of the dummy plug:

The dummy plug which is supplied with the machine must be inserted if the
lathe is going to be run without feed.
Spindle release
This signal is "high” when the feed unit is ready and the lathe can begin the
machining operation.
The signals "No fault reported”, "Material in place”, "Emergency-Stop” and "Insertion
position reached” (only with magazines) must be supplied by the feed unit. All other
signal can be supplied by the feed unit but are not necessary for operation of the lathe.
• Signals going from the lathe to the feed unit:
Door closed (Permission signal):

This signal is "high” when the safety door is locked. When the signal is "low",
then the supply feed may not push any bars into the working area.

No Emergency OFF for the lathe (Supply mode on):

This signal is "high” when there is no Emergency-Stop condition existing on
the lathe. If this signal drops to zero, then all supply feed drives must be
safely stopped immediately.
Move axis:
This signal is "high” when the feed unit can move on its axis.
Start loading cycle:

This signal is "high” for ca. 2 seconds when a new bar should be loaded (only
in the case of magazines with automatic bar changing).
The clamping device is closed:

This signal is "high” when the clamping device of the lathe is closed.
The machine also supplies 24V DC and 3-phase 400V AC. One is referred to
the electrical circuit diagram for the pin allocation.

3.11.5 Option bits

The optional machine data listed in the following applies to SPINNER machines with PLC
software version 6.2 and higher. In older versions of the software, the option bits in data
blocks. Contact Spinner to obtain the addresses when needed. needed.
F NOT ALL SETTING OPTIONS FUNCTION WILL ALL TYPES OF BAR

LOADERS!
MD14512[100]
Bit 0 = 1 UNIMAG-interface active
This bit must be set to 1 for the PLC-block for the interface to be
processed.
Bit 1 = 1 Bar feed without automatic bar change
This bit must equal 1 for feed units while it must be 0 for magazines with
a bar change
Bit 2 = 1 Generally move when the spindle is running
The output will be move "high” if this bit is set to 1 as soon as the spindle
turns (should be 1, for example, for hydro-static bar feeds).
Bit 3 = 1 M54 release "Axial movement”
The output will be move "high” when M54 is programmed. M54 will only
be reset by an Emergency Stop, a fault on the feed unit, failing to be in
the operating mode AUTO, when the door is open and Reset. M54 will
also be suppressed for as long as the bar end is waiting. (except: see Bit
7)
Bit 4 = 1 Without shuttling of the magazines
This bit should be set to 1 if there be shuttling of the spindles when there
is automatic insertion of a new bar by the magazine.
Bit 5 = 1 Without a renewed program start after the end of the bar has been
reached. If this bit is not set, an NC start at the program end (without a
bar change!) is executed after the “end of bar” signal has occurred, and
the bar change will only be executed in the following program run.
This bit must be set to 0 with bar feeds which issue the “end of bar” signal
after the chucking tools have closed.
Bit 6 = 1 General movement in the operating mode "AUTOMATIC”
This bit should only be set in exceptional cases.
Bit 7 = 1 M54 "Move” also further when the bar end has been reached (reset by
M68)
This bit must be 1 when, for example, the bar is fed out at the beginning
of the program and the machining of the part must be completed when
the bar end appears. An appropriate length of remaining bar must be
present for magazines.
MD14512[101]
Bit 0 = 1 With detection M53 Supply unit in motion
If M53 is programmed and the signal Supply unit in motion is "high”, then
the read in release is locked out until the supply movement has been
completed.
Bit 1 = 1 The bit is only relevant for machines from the product range TM.
Bit 2 = 1 The bit is only relevant for machines from the product range TM.
Bit 3 = 1 Automatic NC-Start also when the spindle is released.

A condition for an automatic NC-start during series part production is an

opened spindle at the end of the program (M30). If this bit is set to 1 then
this condition does not have to be met (e. g. for Autoturn
programs/programming of the bar feeder by means of cycles).
Appropriate NC-programming must ensure that the collet is open for a
change of bar by a magazine.
Bit 4 = 1 Without Emergency-Stop for a fault UNIMAG
An Emergency-Stop is normally triggered if the bar feed reports a fault.
This is not the case when this bit = 1.
Bit 5 = 1 With a spindle lock-out from the feed unit
It is possible to get the feed unit to lock out or free up the spindle.
Bit 6 = 1 With M54 as an axial movement/acknowledgement function
The command "Move” is only given out with M54 and the read in release
for the NC-program block is locked out until the feed unit acknowledges
the M-function.
Bit 7 = 1 With optimization of the remaining piece.
When programming the bar feed via the turning cycles support /
ShopTurn, the signal "Max. slider position reached / optimization of the
remaining piece" can be evaluated. If this signal is issued by the bar
feeder, then the program calls a subprogram that can produce shorter
parts, for example, when the remaining length is not long enough any
more to produce a normal part.
MD14512[102]:
Bit 0 = 1 Interrupt move command in M30
This bit is only intended for use in special applications.
Bit 1 = 1 move permanently
For certain feed rates, the NC program must output a move command
again after clamping the spindle. When programming with turning cycle
support / ShopTurn, this is done by setting these bits.
Bit 2 = 1 "Start load cycle" signal present until "Material in place" appears
For certain feed units, this signal must be present until the feed unit
signals "Material in place" (the "Start load cycle" signal is only present for
two seconds by default).
Bit 7 = 1 Enable the turning cycle support / ShopTurn
When this bit is set, the bar feeder can be programmed with turning cycle
support and in ShopTurn.
MD14512[103]:
With the bits in MD14512[103], individual functions and possible selections are enabled in
the cycle support. If cycle support is not used, then MD14512[103] is irrelevant.
Bit 0 = 1 Loader can position itself automatically when advancing (servo-loader)
This bit may only be set for servo-loaders. This bit may not be set for feed
units requiring a stop.
Bit 1 = 1 Loader can position itself automatically when changing bars
This bit may only be set for feed units that are able to position the bar
automatically after changing a bar. This bit may not be set for feed units
requiring a stop to change bars.
Bit 2 = 1 Enable “Positions >Z3>Z4” selection (multiple movements possible in the
program)
When this bit is set, multiple advances are enabled in the program (for
various machining operations).
Bit 3 = 1 Enable shuttle function

When this bit is set, you can select whether or not the spindle is to be
shuttled during a bar change (can also differ from MD14512[100], bit 4 - if
individual programs require this).
Bit 4 = 1 Enable selection of the X-position
When this bit is set, you can select any X-position when advancing (the
default value is always X=0 when advancing).
Bit 5 = 1 Remaining piece removal, then bar change
If this bit is set, the selection of “Remaining piece removal, then bar
change” is possible. Hereby a special movement command is still issued
at the end of the bar before the bar change.
Bit 6 = 1 Movement only with program start
If this bit is set, the selection of “Movement only with program start” and
“Movement only with program/page start” is possible. Hereby the first
movement command is only executed in the first program run (or if
applicable after a bar change) and enables a program start without having
to exactly position the bar beforehand.
Bit 7 = 1 Do not move, only bar start machining
If this bit is set, the selection of “Do not move, only bar start machining” is
possible. Hereby the bar will not be pushed forward, but rather only a
machining at bar start is undertaken (only for special applications).
MD14512[104]: Delay after program termination by M37 in 100ms
This MD is relevant to the proper function of the bar loader cycle in
ShopTurn. The default value of 20 should be used under normal
circumstances and should only be changed after consulting Spinner
Service.
MD14512[108]: Maximum time for a bar change in seconds
If a bar change cannot be completed during this time period once it has
been started, then an alarm is triggered and the program is aborted. This
value can be increased if necessary (if the bar loader takes too long to
change bars). The default value is 30 seconds.

3.11.6 A programming example

All programs shown here are examples. We do not give any guarantees for their
correctness or that they will run properly.
In the following programming example a bar is used with í 30 mm from which parts with a
length of 20 mm are cut off.
Measured tools: Parting tool, a right hand cutter T1 D1

left hand cutter T1 D2
Stop T2 D1
Example 1:
- for a magazine or feed unit with a remaining piece length of 0, that is no more parts will
be machined once the end of the bar has been reached
- issuing of the bar at the end of the program
- in the bar start program we are assuming that the new bar has been laid in the spindle
until its end is just behind the spindle nose. The new bar is let out and cut off to a
dimension of Z0.

Example 3:
- for a magazine infeedable remaining bar ends which means that there still enough bar
material left to machine one more part.
- no bar start program since the magazine moves in the new bar to an exact dimension
(Z-22) and the new bar head is sufficiently level.

Comment:
The M54 programmed here lengthens the move command including going beyond the bar
end up to M68. The length of the remaining piece of bar must be adequate to allow the
last piece to be machined.

N0280 M37 (Program end from subprogram)
The following points must be observed:

• In the "Residual piece" program, bar feeding must be programmed before
machining. Reason: Calling the subprogram from the main program proceeds
after machining e.g. at the stage where forward movement of the bar stock must
take place. Therefore the subprogram must begin with the bar feed (naturally
with reduced part length).
• After machining in "Residual piece" program, a jump to the program start with
GOTOB takes place. A M30 must not be programmed here under any
circumstances since this would only end the subprogram and subsequently the
main program would be continued at the call-up point (danger of collision!).
• If the end of bar is detected in the "Residual piece" program, then a jump to the
program end (for the bar change) will take place as it would in the standard
programming. A M30 must not be programmed here under any circumstances
since this would only end the subprogram and subsequently the main program
would be continued at the call-up point (danger of collision!). Use rather the M-
function M37 to end the program for a subsequent bar change (this ends the
subprogram and main program)
• The function "Residual piece" is only possible when the bar feed supports this
function and then emits the relevant signal.
• The option bit MD14512[101], bit 7 must be set to 1.

Example 6:
- It should be possible to start the program even if the bar is not yet in the spindle. In this
case, the spindle must be released when the program starts. M153 executes the load
cycle and then restarts the program.

3.11.7 Programming the Unimag interface with turning cycle support (with or
without ShopTurn)
This section does not apply to the TM-series of machines!
The BARLOAD cycle is available for programming the bar loader. You can set the
parameters for this cycle easily using the cycle support (standard machine) or using the
ShopTurn Program Editor.
The screen is called up in the Program Editor via "Equipment" > "Bar Loader" and in the
ShopTurn Program Editor via "Various" > "Equipment" > "Bar Loader".
3.11.7.1 Structure of the NC program when using the BARLOAD cycle
Start
• Pushing bar at the beginning of the bar

Bar feeder
• Possibly program for biginning of bar
Bar changing Machining
Bar feeder • Allways pushing bar
End
If end of bar
If not end of bar
The structure corresponds to the usual program structure (without the BARLOAD cycle)
except that all program statements affecting the bar loader are now performed by the
BARLOAD cycle. The parameters for the Unimag interface are set as before via the
option bytes DBB100, 101 and 102.
The option bit MD14512[101], bit 3 (automatic NC start even when the spindle is
clamped) must be set.
The following points absolutely must be taken into account when programming using
cycle support:
• The specified program structure absolutely must be followed. Program
structures differing from the prescribed structure (e.g. general move commands
at the beginning of the program) are not possible. In such cases, the bar feed
function must be programmed without cycle support, i.e. as described in 3.10.1 /
3.10.4.
• A call to the bar loader cycle with the "Advance at bar start" parameter must be
located at the beginning of the program. No movement commands may be
placed before this call (only the zero point offset may be selected, for example)

• A call to the bar loader cycle with the "Continuous feed" parameter must be
located at the end of the program. No program statements may be placed after
this call (only the M30 command is permitted).
• Any further advancement of the bar loader must be performed as shown in
3.11.7.7.
The following parameters can be set in the screen

(the inputs marked with a # are only available when
programming under ShopTurn) Depending on the
type of loader used (i.e. depending on
MD14512[103]), only some of the selections
possible here are described.
• When should the bar be moved forward?

Possible selections: Continuous feed or Bar start only
This specifies when the bar is to be advanced forward. Bar start only must be placed at
the beginning of the program to call the first cycle, and Continuous feed must be set for
all other calls. If Bar start only is selected, the cycle is not processed further if the
machine is not at the beginning of the bar.
• Pos.: (Position to advance bar)

Possible selections: Do not start, Toolchange.point# , maximum or specify:
This specifies which positions the axis can be moved to for advancement purposes:
• For servo-loaders, the best option is to move away from the spindle (Do not start if the
axes are already far enough away; Toolchange.point# (= the toolchange point specified in
the header of the ShopTurn program) or maximum (= move to the software limit switch +
in X and Z)).
• When working with a stop, select specify. You can then specify a tool (stop) in the T#
field; X and Z0 specify the start position for the motion, Z1 the end position (if not at the
start of the bar), Z2 the end position when at the start of the bar, F the desired feed, DT0
the dwell time after the "Release spindle" command, DZ0 the actual motion in the
direction of the Z-axis, DT1 the dwell time after the "Clamp spindle" command and DZ1
the return motion in the direction of the Z-axis (before moving upwards in the direction of
the X-axis). See also the diagram.
• At the beginning of the bar: (actions when starting a bar)

Possible selections: No action, Chip / Cut off# or Subprogram:
This specifies which action will be executed after advancing the bar if machining started
at the beginning of the bar.
If you select Chip / Cut off #, a strike removal cycle or a cut-off cycle is performed. This
cycle is programmed after the bar loader cycle and appears in the ShopTurn program
linked to the bar loader cycle. It is important that this cycle is only processed if at the
beginning of the bar beforehand, otherwise it is skipped (see also 3.10.5.1)
If you select Subprogram, you can enter the name of a subprogram in Name: that is then
called as the bar start program (see also 3.10.5.2).

• At end of bar: (actions when finishing a bar)

Possible selections: No action, Bar change or Subprogram:
This specifies which action will be executed if the end of bar signal arrives when
advancing the bar.
• If you select Bar change, the program is aborted and the bar is changed. If the bar
change was successful, the program is restarted (see also 3.11.7.5).
- In Pos.: (position for the bar change) you specify which positions the axes are to be
#
moved to for advancement purposes. (The Do not start, Toolchange.point and
maximum parameters are the same as described above (see also the diagram);
specify: >X3/Z3 (=move to positions X3 and Z3 using rapid advance, then wait at this
position until the bar change) or specify: >Z3>Z0 or specify: >Z3>Z4 (=move first to
position Z3 using rapid advance; the machine waits there until the dwell time DT3 (to
remove scraps) has expired, and then the axes are moved to position Z0 or Z4 (to
change the bar)).
Note that the selection specify: >Z3>Z0 may only be used when Continuous feed was
selected with Pos.: specify (only then will the mandatory parameter Z0 contain data).
Otherwise the data entered cannot be applied to the program with "Apply".
- In Shuttle spindle / Stop spindle you choose if the spindle is to stand still or shuttle
when changing a bar (even if a different response was programmed using the optional
machine data). In SP you can enter the spindle position or the start position for
shuttling the spindle. When the value -1 is entered, then the spindle is not positioned.
• If you select Subprogram, you can enter the name of a subprogram in Name: that is
then called as the end of bar program. Once this subprogram has finished, the main
program is aborted and a bar change is performed (see also 3.11.7.6).
• Remaining piece: (actions for remaining piece detection) (The "Remaining piece" input
field only appears when the option bit for optimisation of remaining piece is set).
Possible selections: No action , Subprogram 1x or Subpr. to end of bar:
This specifies which actions are to be executed if the remaining piece signal is present
when the BARLOAD cycle is called (only works when the option bit for optimisation of
remaining piece is set).
• If you select Subprogram 1x, you can enter the name of a subprogram in Name:. This
subprogram is executed one time only. If an end of bar signal is present after the
subprogram has completed execution, then a bar change is performed. If an end of bar
signal does not appear after the subprogram has completed execution, machining is
terminated (see also 3.11.7.8).
• If you select Subpr. to end of bar, you can enter the name of a subprogram in Name:.
This subprogram is executed until the end of bar signal appears. The bar is then changed
and the main program is restarted (see also 3.11.7.9).
The possible operations with subprograms for detecting remaining pieces only works, of
course, if the subprogram contains statements to advance the bar. (If the bar is not

advanced, the end of bar signal naturally can never appear and the program is stuck in an
endless loop).
The following program examples show the use of cycle support in various cases:

following example: statement N45 (Chip) is linked to statement N40 (Bar loader)) and is
only processed if a bar change was performed beforehand.

MAIN PROGRAM
Start
Cycle BARLOAD

The bar is changed when the end of the current bar is signalled. You must specify the
positions the axes will move to for the bar change:
• For loaders that position themselves automatically after changing the bar, you can
select between "Do not start", "Toolchange point", "maximum", and "specify:>X3/Z3".
• For loaders that do not position themselves automatically after changing the bar, select
"specify:>Z3>Z0". In this case you must specify the same position for Z0 as in the first
bar loader cycle (at the beginning of the program). If this parameter is incorrectly
programmed, there may be a collision when the new bar is inserted!

A subprogram is called at the end of the bar. The subprogram must be located in the
same workpiece as the main program. The name of the subprogram is entered in the
screen.
• After the end of the bar has been machined, the subprogram must move the axes to
the correct position for a bar change. Otherwise a collision will occur when
changing the bar!
• When the subprogram terminates, a bar change is executed and then the main
program is restarted.

• Move bar always

Barloader

When the bar is advanced multiple times, the same position must be specified in each call
of the bar loader for the end position for a bar change (Z0 or Z4) as was specified for the
start position Z0 in the first bar loader cycle (at the beginning of the program). If this
parameter is incorrectly programmed, there may be a collision when the new bar is
inserted!
• The following diagram shows a correct set of parameters:
Z0 Z1 Z2
Beginning of bar
Stangenanfang In each advance, the end
position (Z0 in 1st advance,
1. Advance

Z0 Z1 Z3 Z4 in 2nd) is the same as the
" >Z3>Z0 " start position Z0 at the
beginning of the bar
2. Advance Z4 Z0 Z1 Z3

• The following diagram shows an invalid set of parameters:

the bar is changed.
• Otherwise the remaining piece is machined one time only. After that, the main program
checks if the end of the bar has been reached (and changes the bar, if necessary). If
the end of the bar has not been reached yet, then processing is terminated.

restarted.
3.11.8 Diagnostic aids
3.11.8.1 Bar loader screen, clamping parameters

The following screens appear when the "Clamping parameters" > "Bar loader" softkeys
are pressed. The screen shows the status of the signals relevant to the bar loader and the
Unimag interface. You can check here which signals were faulty or did not appear in case
of a malfunction:
• In the column on the left you see the signals sent by the lathe to the loader or from the
loader to the lathe. These signals correspond to the signals on the Unimag interface
(see also 3.10.2 for the meanings of each signal)
• In the column on the right you see the internal signals:
− M53 programmed: An M53 command was programmed. There is a "read from NC"
block active until the "Feed in motion" signal drops back down to 0.
− M54 ‘Advance programmed: An advance was programmed with M54. There is a
"read from NC" block active until the loader acknowledges the advance with "Feed-
in position reached".
− End of bar: The end of bar indicator ($A_OUT[16]) is set if the "Material in place"
signal from the loader drops to 0. $A_OUT[16] must be reset by the NC program
after a bar change.
− NC start indicator (PLC): in certain configurations, the PLC prevents an NC start.
This indicator is set in this case.
− NC start indicator (ShopTurn): In ShopTurn programs, an NC restart may not be
initiated again after M30 since the restart is realised by an internal program loop.
This indicator is therefore set in a ShopTurn program during the first bar loader call.

− M30 stored: With this indicator, an M30 is stored until the NC restart is performed
(or the program is aborted due to a reset or a malfunction).
− M30 programmed: If an M30 was programmed in the NC program, then this is
indicated for a short time (approx. 1 second) using this signal.
− M37 programmed: If an M37 was programmed in the BARLOAD cycle or in the NC
program, then this is indicated for a short time (approx. 1 second) using this signal.
A program cancellation triggered by M153 (to change the bar) is also indicated by
this signal.
− Load cycle step 1: This signal corresponds to the operating message "700142
UNIMAG load cycle step 1 active"
− Shuttle spindle: This signal indicates that the PLC has requested the spindle to be
shuttled.
− NC start: This signal is set to 1 for a short time (approx. 1 second) when the NC is
restarted after advancing/changing the bar.
• With the softkeys "Set end of bar" and "Reset end of bar", you can set or reset the end
of bar signal ($A_OUT[16]) in case of a malfunction or a program abort. This
determines whether or not the beginning of bar machining is executed the next time
the program is started. These softkeys are not intended for use in normal program
modes and can only be used when the key-operated switch is set to 3.
3.11.8.2 Differences in the internal execution between ISO / ShopTurn

• In CNC-ISO, an M30 (or an M37 when cycle support and end of bar machining is
used) is programmed after each workpiece (with the corresponding advancement of
the bar), which then terminates the program. The NC is placed each time in the
Reset state.
A bar change is performed depending on whether or not the end of bar signal appears.
The program is then restarted by the PLC.
• In ShopTurn, execution jumps to the beginning of the program (using the ShopTurn
cycle F_END.SPF) after each workpiece (with the corresponding advancement of the
bar) as long as no end of bar signal has appeared. This means the program is not
terminated. The NC is always in the active state in this case.
An M37 is only programmed (using the bar loader cycle BARLOAD.SPF), which then
terminates the program, when the end of bar signal arrives. A bar change is then
performed and the program is restarted by the PLC.

3.13 Tool measuring with sensor arm in case of control 840D

The measuring of the tools is automatically done with the "Tool setter" (option). For that
the tool must be pre-positioned by means of the hand wheel. Then a measuring cycle
must be called up in the MDA mode or by means of an input mask.
3.13.1 Measuring procedure in the MDA mode

1. Install the tool in the tool management with a tool name, the cutting edge number
D and the radius of the tool.
2. Turn in the tool to be measured. Turn also the tool setter into the working area.
Position the tool to be measured about 2-3 mm in front of the corresponding
touch probe.
3. Change to the MDA mode. Set the feed override to 50%. Enter the following
bloc:
L801(T_NAME,D_NUMBER,T_HOLDER_ANGLE,[DUPLO_NR])
(respectively. L802, L803, L804 according to the used touch probe)
T_NAME = T name; Note that the name must be in quotation marks
D_NUMBER = D number
T_HOLDER_ANGLE = Straight (0) or 90° angled (1) tool holder
DUPLO_NO = Duplo no. of the tool if the option "Replacement tool" is used.
The input of this parameter is optional and normally not necessary.
Example:
L801("3",1,1)
4. Press the NC-Start key. The tool moves forward to the sensor and then 5 mm
back. The measured tool length is entered into the tool correction.
The following figure shows which cycle must be used for each cutting edge.
L802
L803 L801
L804
Figure 3-11: Tool measuring

3.13.2 Measurement procedure with input screen

There is an input screen available for operating the toolsetter. You
can use this screen to comfortably measure tools. In the JOG
operating mode the screen is called via the soft-keys "Equipment"
⇒ "Toolsetter", and in the ShopTurn-Manual mode via the soft-keys
"Measure tool" ⇒ "Toolsetter"
• The screen displays the currently selected tool, the current cutter
number as well as the Duplo-number of the tool.
• If a new tool is selected using "+T" or "-T", the screen display will be
updated.
• The toggle key can switch between the various cutters of the tool to be measured (as long
as a second cutter has been set up for the tool).
• The desired motion can be selected using four softkeys on the toolsetter screen ("X-",
"X+", "Z-" or "+"). The selected motion direction is shown on the display.
• The screen also displays the actual tool length of the selected cutter for the tool to be
measured as well as the selected axis (X or Z).
Procedure for measuring:

• Select the tool to be measured
• Swing in the toolsetter
• Call the screen up and fill in all settings (tool, cutter, motion direction)
• Using JOG, position the tool 2-3 mm from the desired toolsetter switching surface
• Press NC Start. The toolsetter cycle is started and the tool is measured
• The newly measured tool length is displayed after the measurement procedure is
completed
• If additional tools are to be measured, use "+T" or "-T" to select the next tool. The screen
should not be exited until the process is complete
• After all tools have been measured, exit the screen with "Exit"
THERE IS A GREAT DANGER OF COLLISION DURING MANUAL

SWINGING OF THE TURRET WHILE WORKING WITH THE
TOOLSETTER. CONSEQUENTLY, MANUAL SWINGING WHILE
THE TOOLSETTER SCREEN IS ACTIVE IS ONLY POSSSIBLE
WITH KEY-OPERATED SWITCH SETTING 2 OR 3. BEFORE
SWINGING, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
TURRET IS MOVED SUFFICIENTLY AWAY FROM THE
TOOLSETTER!

3.13.3 Reference points

When a tool is mounted on the inner circle of the turret, in the tool management the
distance between the outer and inner circle is added to the X-value of this tool.

3.14 CNC tailstock (optional)
CNC-tailstock
Figure 3-13: CNC tailstock

The tailstock is moved as a CNC axis (Z2 axis) when the optional CNC tailstock is used.
The CNC tailstock does not have a quill that can be individually moved out. Instead, when
clamping a workpiece with the help of the tailstock the entire tailstock is pressed against
the workpiece with the "Move to dead stop" function. The clamping force acting on the
tailstock can be programmed. This makes it possible to clamp sensitive and easily
deformable workpieces with accordingly lower forces.
The CNC tailstock can either be programmed directly with cycles or through a cycle
support input screen.
As long as the tailstock is not clamped it can be moved in the JOG mode just like any
other axis. However, if you attempt to move the clamped tailstock in the JOG mode, then
alarm "20092 Z2 axis: Move to dead stop still active" is output.
3.14.1 Programming the CNC tailstock directly

The MOVE_TAILSTOCK cycle was created to move the tailstock.
The cycle is called with the following parameters:
MOVE_TAILSTOCK(_POS, _TRQ, _DPOS, _TOL, _F0, _F1, _MOD)
Meaning of the individual parameters:
_POS:
End position to be moved to. The cycle decides if the tailstock needs to be clamped or
released from _POS and the current tailstock position if _MOD is not specified. When the
tailstock is to be clamped, _POS must be selected so that this position is not reached, but
the clamping position actually reached is slightly farther than _POS (because otherwise if
_POS is reached during the clamping procedure, then the alarm "20091 Dead stop not
reached" is output).
_POS is always based on the position of the tip of the tailstock. This position deviates
from the Z2 position by a certain amount that is stored in the variable
TAILSTOCK_OFFSET_Z (the size of the deviation depends on the tailstock tip used and
can be modified if necessary by changing the value of the TAILSTOCK_OFFSET_Z
variable and using a different tip).
_POS must always be specified for clamping. When releasing, specification of _POS is
optional if _DPOS and _MOD are specified.
_TRQ:
Clamping force in daN. _TRQ must always be specified when the tailstock is to be
clamped.

_DPOS:
Last section of travel before clamping / after release. In this section the tailstock moves at
a reduced feed rate (_F1). Specification of _DPOS is optional. If _DPOS is not specified,
the cycle uses a value of 5 mm. Minimum input value for _DPOS is 5 mm when clamping
and 0 mm when releasing.
_TOL:
Tolerance in the clamped state. If the tailstock is already clamped, then its maximum
movement is stored in this parameter. Otherwise alarm "20093 Motion monitor on the
stop was triggered" is output. If the spindle is in motion, then an Emergency OFF is
triggered.
Specification of _TOL is optional. If _TOL is not specified, the cycle uses a value of 1 mm.
Maximum input value for _TOL is 2 mm.
_F0:
Feed for movement towards/away from the workpiece. This feed value is used for the
movement towards/away from the workpiece when not in the last section of travel
(_DPOS). Specification of _F0 is optional. If _F0 is not specified, then the movement
towards/away from workpiece is performed at rapid speed.
_F1:
Feed for movement towards/away from the workpiece in the last section of travel
(_DPOS). Specification of _F1 is optional. If _F1 not specified, the cycle uses a value of
200 mm/min when clamping and 1500 mm/min when releasing. The maximum input value
for _F1 is 500 mm/min.
_MOD:
Use this parameter to specify if the workpiece is to be clamped or released. Specifying
the value 1 for _MOD means "clamp", the value 2 means "release". Specification of
_MOD is optional and is a safety feature to prevent the desired procedure from being
performed when it cannot be performed correctly due to the tailstock being in the wrong
position before calling the cycle.
3.14.2 Tailstock operation in the manual mode using the input screen
An input screen is available for the tailstock functions. The tailstock functions can be
comfortably operated in this screen. The screen is called in the JOG mode or in the
ShopTurn-Manual mode via the "Equipment" softkey.
You can choose between the "Clamp workpiece" and "Release workpiece" functions.
When you select a function, only those parameters needed for the particular function are
displayed. The current position of the X and Z2 axes are shown on the screen for
information purposes. You can switch between the display of the current MCS and current
TCS using a softkey.
The desired function is selected using the vertical softkeys. The variable Pa indicates the
current position of the tip of the tailstock (Pa cannot be changed as it is only for
informational purposes). The names of the other parameters and their meanings are
described in section 3.14.1. The selected function is called by pressing the NC Start
button.
You leave the screen with "Exit" after terminating all functions.

The functions can only be executed when the machine is in an "NC Start" ready state.
3.14.3 Moving the tailstock with the foot pedal

Using the optional foot pedal you can also move the tailstock without having to press any
buttons. This is advantageous, for example, when you need both hands to insert a heavy
workpiece.
You clamp with the left foot pedal and release with the right foot pedal.
WHEN MOVING THE TAILSTOCK WITH THE FOOT PEDAL,
F THE LAST PARAMETERS ENTERED IN THE INPUT SCREEN

ARE ALWAYS USED (SEE ALSO 3.14.2). THESE PARAMETERS
REMAIN VALID UNTIL NEW VALUES ARE ENTERED IN THE
SCREEN. THAT IS WHY YOU CAN ONLY ENTER
PARAMETERS FOR SAFETY REASONS WHEN THE KEY-
OPERATED SWITCH IS SET TO 2 OR 3.
IF MOTION IS PERFORMED WHEN THE DOORS ARE CLOSED

AND LOCKED, THEN TAPPING ON THE FOOT PEDAL
F
TRIGGERS THE EXECUTION OF THE ENTIRE MOVEMENT.
IF MOTION IS PERFORMED WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPEN,
THEN THE FOOT PEDAL MUST BE HELD DOWN DURING THE
ENTIRE MOVEMENT. IF YOU RELEASE THE FOOT PEDAL,
THE MOVEMENT IS STOPPED IMMEDIATELY.
3.14.4 Programming the tailstock in the program editor

There is also an input screen for the tailstock functions in the program editor. You can
integrate the tailstock functions in a CNC program here. The screen is called up via
"Equipment" (in the ShopTurn mode: "Various" ⇒ " Equipment"). The same functions are
available here as in the screen for the manual mode. You select the particular function
here using the toggle key or the "Alternative" softkey. The current axis position and the
current position of the tip of the tailstock Pa are not displayed in this screen.
See section 3.14.2 for descriptions of the various functions.

3.15 Data transmission

Parts programs can be stored from an USB stick or on an USB stick (see USB interface)
in the program manager.

3.16 Servo Turret
3.16.1 General
A tool turret is designated as a servo turret if the drive control unit can regulate the
motor's speed. This type of drive control is highly dynamic, thus allowing very brief
indexing times to be performed for a tool change. The concept can be realised using one
of two possible variants:
· Drive control by means of an external controller module
· Drive control by means of a CNC axis
The second variant offers an advantage in that the turret drive control behaves like an
additional axis on the CNC machine. That means that all CNC functions such as:
· feed rate control
· axis stop
· axis lock
· drive on/off
· Safety Integrated system
also affect the turret axis.
This functionality opens up an array of new possibilities for the operator to use with the
machine. For this reason, the servo turret of the series TC600 utilises the CNC axis.
3.16.2 Operation of the CNC Servo Turret
3.16.2.1 Jog mode

The control of the turret is accomplished using the +T/-T buttons. These buttons are
operational when the axis TURR (=B-axis) has been selected. If the axis is selected, the
turret is unlocked and tools can be changed out. Selecting another axis or the MDA or
Auto modes will lock the turret again.
3.16.2.1.1 Behaviour when working with unlocked door (excluding set-up mode)
If the door is unlocked and the key switch is not turned to set-up mode, then none of the
axes can be moved. This applies the turret axis as well.
3.16.2.1.2 Behaviour when working with unlocked door (during set-up mode)
In order to enable switching of the turret with realisable speeds, speeds of > 2m/min
circumferential speed or 50 RPM are required. So that the risk to the operator is
minimised as far as possible, turret movement involves the additional simultaneous
pressing of the "permission" button while pressing the +/-T button. If the "permission"
button is released, the TURR axis stops immediately. The turret will turn continuously with
the "permission" button „ pressed until the +/- T button is released. When the +/-T button
is released, the turret will rotate until it reaches the next valid tool position.

3.16.2.1.3 Behaviour when the door is locked

If the door is locked, the turret rotates as long as the +/- T button is pressed. If the button
is released, the turret will rotate until it reaches the next attainable turret position. It is not
necessary to press the "permission" button again.
General:
To avoid speeds dangerous to operator/equipment, the maximum feed rate is reduced
when the door is unlocked. When the door is locked, normal Jog speeds will be activated
again.
3.16.2.2 MDA/AUTO mode

The turret is programmed in the same manner as all other lathes using the Siemens
control system.
3.16.2.3 CNC turret with live tooling

If a live tool (a.k.a. powered tool) is available during a toolchange, then this tool will be
first referenced and then disengaged. In this way it is assured that the live tool will be
correctly engaged during the next tool selection.
An orientation of the live tool is likewise performed before the door or turret is unlocked.
It is not necessary to take the live tool out of operation during programming. This is
automatically achieved during orientation of the tool axis.
Note: Machining time is somewhat shorter because one less NC block is used and also
because the live tool is oriented during operation.
3.17 Special functionality of a Spray Gun

The machine can be optionally equipped with a spray gun.
Principle of operation: The spray gun is directly coupled to the pneumatic system. Special
handling is not necessary.

3.18 Creating a network connection to a Siemens 840D-SL
3.18.1 Network settings for the PC server

A TCP/IP protocol must be installed on the PC server according to the following example.
3.18.2 Parameterization of drive connection by means of the HMI User

interface
The setup of the drive connection (local, net or USB drives) as well as their softkeys is
done in a setup window which can be found under Start-up
In the window below the network connections can be defined or paramterized. These
connections, also called „logical drives“ can refer to a network connection as well as to in
internal drive, as for example an PCMCIA-memory card interface (Com-pactFlash Card)
and USB interface (also floppy disk drive connectable via USB).
Procedure
• Press the key „IBN“ (Start up).
• Press the key "Logische Laufwerke" (Logical drives).
• Press the key "Verbindungen" (Connections).
You will now see the window "Netzwerk-Verbindungen" (Network connections)

Press the select key to access the input areas "Typ" (type), "Anschluss" (connection) and
"Zugriffsstufe" (access level).
Type: No drive, USB local, USB global

when option is activated: Flash-Card (delivered CompactFlash
Card with HMI-Software)
Connections: Front (pre-assigned), X203, X204
Access level: 1 Producer
2 Service
3 User
4 Position of key operated switch 3
Note
To access the CompactFlash Card you need the option Memory expansion.
Input the other input areas manually. The text for the softkey can be as desired.

You have got the following possibilities to establish the connections:

Type Connection Path (input of the path)
No drive - -
USB local Front (pre-assigned) acttcu://0,2
X203 acttcu://2
X204 acttcu://1
USB global X203 Connection to the other TCUs
X204
Flash-Card .../user/sinumerik/data/... CompactFlash
Card in the NCU
NW Linux // Linux Name of computer/Linux
Release name
NW Windows // Windows Name of computer/
Windows Release Name
• A numerical adjustment is done from DOS (Windows) in the input area „Partition“
• The softkey text can have a length of two lines with a max. of 9 characters each one
• For the Windows release you must determine a user name and a password. If no user
name or password is given, a standard user (PCU20_USER and a standard password
is used.
• There are no user names and passwords necessary for the Linux (NFS) release, for
local/global net pathes (USB).
• In the menus "Program" and "Services" the first four softkeys of the established
connections are represented in the horizontal softkey bar. The next four softkeys for
the established connections are displayed by means of the extension key „>“in the 2nd
horizontal softkey bar.
• The selection of drives can be blocked by the corresponding setting of the access
level.
3.18.3 Network configuration: Settings

The necessary data for the networking of the components are input in the window
„Network configuration“. Only the TCP/IP protocol is supported and can be configurated in
the mask for the network startup.
After pressing the softkey "Netz-Konfig." (Net config.) under "IBN" (Start up) the following
window is displayed:

1. DHCP:
By means of the „Select“ key you select "Yes" or "No", it all depends on weather a DHCP
server is present or no
2. IP Addresses:
A clear IP address must be selected for each computer.
1. Subnet Mask:
A clear Subnet mask must be entered for the whole network
2. Gateway:
There is no gateway necessary for a local network
In case of a network in a company ask your systen administrator.
3. Name of computer:
The name is optional, since the name is only symbolic and can every time be replaced by
the IP address.
4. DNS:
When the DNS (Domain Name Server) disposes of the suitable assignment Computer -
IP-address, it´s not necessary to do any input here.
MAC address: Is clear (see on NCU 710 after X130). It is already known by the NCU and
automatically displayed.
The adjusted parameters are of the network connections are stored by means of the
softkey "Speichern" (Store).
3.18.4 Example: Network configuration

This chapter shows two possibilities of configuration:
1. A local independent network
2. A large net in a company
Local network
The most simple case is a small independent network

Important
In case of the Point to Point connection a special crossed cable is
necessary since no „Hub“ is used.
When you select „Yes“ in case of DHCP the data from the IP-address, Subnet Mask and
Gateway are automatically sent via a DHCP server and then displayed. These data can
not be overwriten. Enter manually the name of computer and the DNS-Domain.
When you select „No“ in case of DHCP because no server is present, you yourself must
determine and enter all data.
For local independent networks e address ranges are determined by the RFC 1597 in
order to avoid any conflict during the simultaneous use of the Internet.
10.0.0.0 > 10.255.255.255 (Class A-Net)
172.16.0.0 > 172.31.255.255 (Class B-Net)
192.168.0.0 > 192.168.255.255 (Class C-Net)
The IP-addresses for small networks should be selected from these ranges.
Network in a company
Since a network in a company is already existent you must ask the system administrator
for the adjustments and addresses. To get contact to the network of the company you use
a fix IP address. This IP address must be established from the corresponding
administrator for each NCU separately. The administrator places the name of the
computer at your disposal which corresponds with the adjusted IP address. Also a
corresponding SubnetMask for the network and a De-fault Gateway (Router) are still
necessary. If a DNS server should be used also its IP address and the DNS Domain must
be at your disposal.
Name of server (not absolutely necessary to be adjusted)

To give the computers symbolic names you can enter the users of the network you want
to get contact with.
Example
Name of server:
192.168.0.20 R2345
192.168.0.21 R2346
With these adjustments you can get contact to the computers R2345 and R2346 by their
symbolic names.

Operation:
The first entry of a line is created as IP address.
The second entry is the name of the computer. The already input data are displayed in
the upper half of the screen. You can change to the lower half of the screen by pressing
the softkey "Neu" (New) or "Bearbeiten" (Edit). This is to edit an entry.
You can change again to the upper half of the screen by pressing the softkey "Abbruch"
(Cancel) (chanages are not stored) or "Speichern" (Store) (changes are stores.
In case of external drives (net connections) the complete network path must be given
(\\name of computer\release names\path), the path being optional: \\R4711\work
pieces\sample\\R4812\workpieces.
These names must be existent on the network computer. For example the network
computer is named "\\R4812". On this computer the release name WORKPIECES must
be existent on any hard disk drive.
Types of files
The types of files must be created according to the requirements. They are evaluated and
displayed by the NCU. By the file extension the program manager can filter the files, that
means which files are visible and which are not. This filtering can be adjusted as follows:
When the softkeys "Neu" (New) or "Bearbeiten" (Edit) are selected you change to the
lower half of the window and another extension can be input or an already existent
extension can be edited. This proceeding is also finished with "Abbruch" (Cancel) (without
changes) or with "Speichern" (Store) (with changes.

3.19 SINUMERIK Safety Integrated
3.19.1 Short description

Sinumerik Safety Integrated offers prototype-tested safety functions which make highly
effective person and machine protection a practical possibility. All the safety functions
meet the safety requirements of the safety category 3 on accordance with EN 954-1 and
are integral elements of the basic system. Generally, all safety-relevant errors in the
system result in bringing any potentially dangerous movement to a safe halt or to a rapid,
contact-free electrical separation of the motor.
A diversified dual-channel system is formed using the existing multiprocessor structure.

The safety functions are integrated redundantly into the NC, the drive and the internal
PLC. The process variables and the safety-relevant system data are cross-compared.
Safety-oriented software and hardware functions are checked by an automated forced
speed-up at defined time intervals.
Figure 3-14: Acquisition-Analysis-Response
3.19.2 Function description

The safety functions are available in all operating modes. The are divided into the safety
integrated basic functions SI-1 and the extension SI-2.
3.19.2.1 Safe stopping (SI-1)

Safe stopping leads the drives safely from movement to stop when the monitoring of a
sensor responds (e.g. a light beam).
3.19.2.2 Stop reactions (SI-1)

The stop reactions shall bring the drives, guided by the appropriate demands on the
machine, to a safe standstill. A differentiation will be made between the stop variations
STOP A, B, C, D, E, F and the test stop. The nature of the stop reaction to a fault that

occurs in the system can be rigidly laid down or be configured by the machine
manufacturer. The way the various stop variations work are:
• Stop A:
The drive speed drifts down to a stop if no external braking mechanisms such as
armature short circuit and/or holding brake are applied. The axial arm pulls an
operational mode group stop after it, i.e. because of the fault in one axis, all
spindles and axes present in an operational group will be brought to a stop. The
safe stop (SH) is effective at the end of Stop A.
• Stop B
The drive is braked while being speed controlled at the current limit and brought
to the safe stop (SH).
• Stop C
The drive is braked while being speed controlled at the current limit and brought
to the safe operational stop (SBH).
• Stop D
The drive is braked as a unit (including simultaneous axes) per track and brought
to the safe operational stop (SBH).
• Stop E
The drive is braked as a unit (including the reverse movements) per track and
brought to the safe operational stop (SBH).
• Stop F
The Stop F response is firmly assigned to the cross-comparison of results and
data. This covers faults on the drive and control side. Depending on the
configuration, either a Stop B or Stop A response is triggered. The safe stop
(SH) is the final result.
Figure 3-15: Stop Variants

When configuring stop responses, the protection of the person has first priority. In
automatic operation, the optimum stop response for machine protection can be
configured when the safety door is closed.

IF THE ERROR MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED, IT SUFFICES TO

CANCEL THE ERROR WITH RESET IN ORDER TO CONTINUE
THE OPERATION OF THE MACHINE.
IF THE ERROR MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED, THE FAULT IS
F SO SERIOUS THAT THE MACHINE MUST BE SHUT DOWN

AND SWITCHED ON AGAIN IN ORDER TO CONTINUE THE
OPERATION OF THE MACHINE.
3.19.2.3 Test stop (SI-1)

With the test stop, the entire pulse disable path for each monitoring channel is tested
using the external protection circuits.
3.19.2.4 Safe stop (SI-1)

The safe stop serves as a safe disconnection of the power supply from the motor in the
case of a fault or in connection with a machine function. This takes place axis-specific and
contact-free. The machine manufacturer must take measures against movements taking
place after the disconnection of the power supply from the motor. Functional features: No
undesirable start up of the motor is possible, the power to the motor is safely interrupted,
no galvanic separation of the motor from the drive module takes place.
3.19.2.5 Safe operational stop (SI-1)

The function of safe operational stopping (SB) serves as a safe monitoring of the
standstill position of an axis/spindle. The drives are thereby fully operational in position
control or speed control. Safety areas can be infringed during active monitoring , e.g.
when setting up, without switching off the machine. Functional features: Axis remains
under control, configurable standstill tolerance window, configurable stop response when
the monitoring gives a response (Stop B or Stop A).
3.19.2.6 Safely reduced speed (SI-1)

The function of safe speed (SG) serves as a safe monitoring of the load-side speed of a
drive. The current speed of the drive is thereby compared cyclically at the monitoring
frequency with the limit value that is selected via the safety inputs. The limit values of
speed are defined in the machine data. Functional features: safe supervision of the load-
side speed limit values, adaptation of the supervisory limit values to the various operating
modes (e.g. test mode, setting up, automatic mode), configurable SG-specific stop
responses, configurable axis-specific stop responses.
3.19.2.7 Safe software limit switches

A working space/protected space demarcation or a travel range limit for a specific axis
can be put into practice by the use of software limit switches (SE). The use of hardware
limit switches on the mechanical side can be dispensed with. Two pairs of limit switches
are available per axis. Functional features: Safe software determination and analysis of
limit positions, configurable stop responses on overrunning limit positions, stop responses
on overrunning limit positions take place internally via software.

3.19.2.8 Safe software cams

A safe range identification for a specific axis can be put into practice by the use of safe
software cams (SN). Four pairs of cams are available per axis. Hardware solutions can be
dispensed with. Functional features: Safe software determination and analysis of cam
positions, defining safety areas, SN-dependent safe switching of safety functions.
3.19.2.9 Safe braking ramp (SI-2)

The function of a safe braking ramp (SBR) is based on the expectation that after demand
to stop, the speed has to reduce. When a stop demand is triggered, a speed limit value is
activated, this limit being formed from the current speed plus a speed tolerance given by
the machine data. This limit is compared with the current speed (must remain slower than
or equal to) and made to track it on each clock cycle. This means that a renewed
acceleration of the axis during the braking process is detected as quickly as possible and
triggers a further response. Functional features: Quickest possible detection of a renewed
acceleration of the axis during the braking operation, the SBR is automatically activated
when a Stop B or C is triggered, Stop A is triggered directly when the SBR responds.
3.19.2.10 Safe programmable logic (SI-2)

The safe programmable logic (SPL) allows firstly a direct connection between the safety-
oriented sensors and actuators and their internal logical connections. The connection
logic is integrated redundantly into the NC and the internal PLC. This allows the
configuration in the SINUMERIK Safety Integrated software of e.g. concepts for
emergency stop or for interlocking of safety doors. The emergency stop, together with the
"safe stop", can be put into practice - contact-free and using safe engineering - from the
evaluation logic to the power disconnection. Functional features: universal, programmable
logic using safe engineering, immediate activation of the logic after run-up, cyclic running
independently of user program, integrated timer for forced speed-up, effective in all
operational modes.
3.19.2.11 Safety-oriented input/output signals (SI-1)

The safety-oriented input and output signals (SGE/SGA) are the interface to the process.
These are digital signals that are dual-channel and go to and come from the system via
different peripheral devices (PLC and NC). The SGE/SGA do not have to be connected to
hardware terminals as a necessity. It is also possible, depending on the requirement, to
do this as a purely internal software signal processing using the safe programmable logic.
Functional features: select and deselect safety functions, select and switch limit values,
indication of status messages, issue cam signals, direct connection of sensors and
actuators.
3.19.3 Forced security check with SINUMERIK Safety Integrated

The forced security check serves to detect faults in the software and hardware of both
monitoring channels. The safety relevant parts in both channels must thereby run through
all safety relevant branches within a certain defined time frame. A fault in a monitoring
channel leads to deviations and is detected by cross-comparisons of data and of results.
The forced security check of the pulse disable path (test stop) must be incorporated into
the process – either as triggered by the user or automated. Examples are:
• when axes are at a standstill after the equipment is switched on
• on opening the safety door
• in a prescribed cycle (e.g. in an eight hour cycle)
• in automatic mode, dependent on time and events

The test of safety-relevant sensors and actuators is also part of the forced security check.
The entire signal chain, including the "safe programmable logic" (SPL) is thereby tested
for its operability.
So-called "dormant faults" in the safety-relevant data of both monitoring channels are
detected by cross-comparison. in the case of "changeable" information, there are
tolerance values laid down for machine data. The results from both channels may deviate
within those tolerances without triggering a reaction.

Operation/Maintenance Error diagnosis

4 Error diagnosis

4.1 Troubleshooting
When a failure arises first of all it is important to find out the reason of this failure.
Proceed as follows:
When? While which operation? Which failure?
Defining the failure
Remedy
Finding and getting rid of the

failure
1) When and how often? (frequency of failure)

2) While which operation?
3) Which failure arose?
1) When did the failure arise?

• Date and time?
• While running/while an operation? (How long did the running/operation last?)
• Did the failure arise while switching on the machine?
• Where there peaks in voltage, power failure or other failures in the power supply
main?
• How often did the failure arise:
- Once?
- Several times? (How often per hour/ per day / per month?)
2) While which operation did the failure arise?

• In which mode was the NC running when the failure arose? Typing-mode /
manual mode / automatic mode / referencing mode
• When in program running:
Where in the program?
Which number of program and line?
Which program?
While moving the axes?
While executing a M/S/T-code?
Failure specific to the program? Does a certain operation always trigger
the same failure? (Check if the failure happens again)
3) Which failure arose?

• Which alarm message has been displayed? (diagnosis screen)

- Number of alarm
- Text of alarm
• Which operation messages have been displayed? (diagnosis screen)
4) Other points to check

replacement tools in group '%4' possible
Process: An attempt was made to set up a new tool using the name of an
already installed tool.
Solution: Confirm the alarm with Reset and then name all tools using unique
names.
20091 Z2 axis has not reached the dead stop

Problem: During the clamping procedure of the tailstock using the
MOVE_TAILSTOCK cycle, the programmed end position _DPOS was
reached but no workpiece was detected.
Solution: Acknowledge the alarm with reset, check the parameter values for the
MOVE_TAILSTOCK cycle. If necessary, set _DPOS to a slightly larger
value so that the workpiece is clamped before _DPOS is reached.
20092 Z2 axis: "Move to dead stop" still active

Problem: An attempt was made to move the tailstock (Z2 axis) in the JOG mode
although the tailstock is still clamped.
Solution: Acknowledge the alarm with reset, release the tailstock and then move
in the JOG mode.
20093 Z2 axis: Motion monitor on the stop was triggered

Problem: The tailstock exceeded the _TOL tolerance value while in the clamped
state. If this alarm occurs during machining or while the spindle is
turning, then an Emergency OFF is also triggered.
Solution: Acknowledge the alarm with reset, check the tailstock and reclamp. If
necessary, enter a larger value for _TOL.
20094 Z2 axis: Function cancelled

Problem: The release of the impulse was blocked (for example because an
Emergency OFF is pending) while the tailstock was in the clamped
state.
Solution: Eliminate the reason for the blocking of the impulse (acknowledge the
Emergency OFF, for example), then acknowledge the alarm with reset.
Once the impulses are released again the tailstock is automatically
reclamped.

61301 Channel %1 Block %2: Probe not switching

Process: Either the tool was positioned more than 5 mm away from the
toolsetter during tool measurement with the toolsetter or the toolsetter
does not index.
Solution: Confirm the alarm with Reset, bring the tool nearer to the toolsetter (<
5 mm) and restart the tool measurement procedure. If the toolsetter
still does not index, please contact the Service Department as soon as
possible.
65001 Wrong Tool number T programmed

Process: An incorrect tool name was used while calling one of the following
cycles: L801, L802, L803, L80. (This alarm can only occur during direct
programming of cycles. Use of the ShopTurn Toolsetter input screen
precludes occurrence of this alarm).
Solution: Confirm the alarm with Reset and then call the cycle using correct tool
names.
65003 Wrong Edge number D programmed

Process: Cutter number <1 or >2 was used while calling one of the following
cycles: L801, L802, L803 or L804. (This alarm can only occur during

screen precludes occurrence of this alarm).
Solution: Confirm the alarm with Reset and then call the cycle using the correct
cutter number.
65004 Tool has wrong edge orientation

Process: The cutting-edge position defined for the tool is not compatible with the
selected direction of motion.
Solution: Confirm the alarm with Reset, check whether the correct cutting-edge
position for the tool is entered in the tool list and then restart the tool
measurement procedure.
65006 Block search not possible because Read-In is disabled

Process: A bloc search was started though read in is blocked.
Solution: Confirm the alarm with RESET, get rid of the cause for the blocked
read in. Start block search again.
65007 Tool exists more than one time. Toolchange not possible
Process: There are several tools in the turret with the same name. Therefore, a
tool selected with the T-command is not longer uniquely identified.
Solution: Confirm the alarm with Reset and then designate all tools using unique
names.
65008 Unselect tool before initializing the tool management!

Process: An attempt was made to start REVOLVER while a tool is still selected.
Solution: Confirm the alarm with Reset, use T0 to deselect the tool and then
restart REVOLVER.

66000 Illegal numbers used as tool names

Process: For at least one tool, a number was assigned as a tool name which did
not correspond to the turret tool station number (e.g. tool 2 installed at
turret tool station number 1)
Solution: Confirm the alarm with Reset and then correct the tool names.
66003 Further machining is not possible when the length of the remaining
piece of bar / part length is selected
Process: The length of the remaining piece of bar / part length for machining
with the bar feeder is set up precisely so that the "End of bar" signal is
output by the bar feeder after closing the chucking tool. When this
setting is used, the cooperation between the bar feeder and lathe is
unreliable.
Solution: Confirm the alarm with Reset. Set the value so that the end of bar
signal does not coincide exactly with the end of the feed movement.
66004 Syntax error in the cycle: check the input parameter values!
Problem: The MOVE_TAILSTOCK cycle was called with invalid parameters.
Solution: Acknowledge the alarm with reset, check the parameter values for the
MOVE_TAILSTOCK cycle.

Process: After the turret is switched (MDA/AUTO mode), the programmed tool
and the indexed tool are not identical.
Solution: Use RESET (12) to clear the Emergency stop and Alarm. Switch the
turret to JOG mode (3) using T+ or T- to different stations. Check
MB155 (current position of the turret). MB155 (in D-Format) must
coincide with the selected station, otherwise the signal generator is
defective.
700 013 Bar feeder malfunction

Process: There is a malfunction in the bar feeder unit.
Solution: See the Operating Manual of the bar feeder manufacturer.
700014 Main spindle clamping position monitor reacted

Process: The clamping cylinder has moved during the turning operation and the
workpiece was crushed or thrown out of the chuck. Or: Option empty
stroke monitoring ⇒ The program was started without a workpiece and
the clamping cylinder has reached the Empty position.
Solution: Adjust the clamping pressure. Recalibrate the position switch. Turn the
key-operated switch to position 2, this deactivates the stroke
monitoring.
700015 Main spindle pressure monitoring reacted

Process: The actual pressure in the clamping cylinder of the main spindle left
the permitted tolerance range while the spindle was running. The
spindle was stopped with the Emergency stop (1).
Solution: Check the adjustment of the pressure switch of the hydraulic system.
Correct it if necessary.
700018 Piece in main spindle not securely clamped

Process: Only in Option Empty monitoring ⇒ The program cannot be started
because the initiator Chuck empty has reacted.
Solution: Check whether the piece is correctly clamped. The initiator may need
to be recalibrated. To start the program without a piece, turn the key-
operated switch to position 2.
700020 Tailstock pressure monitoring reacted

Process: See Message700015
Solution: See Message700015

700023 Emergency stop from permission button

Process: The permission button was pressed all the way down and triggered an
emergency stop.
Solution: Release the permission button. Clear the Alarm with RESET.
700029 Check turret

Process: Tool change could not be implemented within 10s due to an error (e.g.
Bit error from position sensor or no Strobe, Preindex or Lock signal,...)
Solution: Clear the Emergency stop with RESET. Switch the turret to JOG mode
(3) using T+ or T-. The Alarm can only be cleared once the turret is
locked. (Note: this Alarm may be caused by other messages which
must first be cleared.)
700116 Tool-No. not allowed

Process: Invalid tool number was programmed
Solution: Program the tools in accordance with the valid tool numbering
convention
700118 Error: cutting without tool-selection not possible

Process: Selected machining with selected tool not possible (perhaps no tool
selected)
Solution: Select the suitable tool
700304 Tool is not fixed-place-coded!

Process: The current selected tool is not fixed-place coded. This error arises
when a not fixed-place coded tool is active and another tool is selected
with a T command.
Solution: Check in "Parameters" if all tools are defined as fixed-place coded
tools. Change if necessary.. (Only relevant to CNC-ISO in case of
MMC103 - in ShopTurn respec. in case of PCU20 and CNC-ISO all
tools are automatically set up as fixed-place coded tools). Confirm the
alarm with.
700306 Number of user machine data is wrong!

Process: One or more machine data are not correctly set.
Solution: Please contact the Spinner after-sales services when this error arises.
700308 Tool Management is incorrect and must be initialized!

Process: The system variables of the tool management contain incorrect values.
Solution: Confirm the alarm with RESET. If the error comes up immediately
again, the tool management must be re-initialized by starting
REVOLVER12. In this case all tool data will be lost. If the data is
needed again later it can be saved before the initialization (see
"Program manager" ⇒ "Others" ⇒ "Safe data" and re-transferred
again.

700309 Turret movement is not possible. Locations are locked.

Process: A turret rotation was programmed that would stop on a locked tool
station or exceed a locked tool station (e. g. by direction command
M13 / M14). That’s why the turning cannot be done.
Solution: Confirm the alarm with RESET. Cancel the tool station lock if you want
to turn the turret to a current locked tool station or select another
direction (M13 / M14) or program the rotation without pre-determined
direction.
700310 Configuration of turret location lock is invalid

Process: The configuration of the turret location lock is not complete and for this
it is not clear. If you want to lock a succession of tool locations than all
locations within this succession must be locked.
Solution: Correct the configuration of the turret location lock. Confirm the alarm
with RESET.
700311 Active turret location must not be locked!

Process: You tried to lock the turret location of the current selected tool.
Solution: Before you lock the current turret location turn the turret on or drop the
tool with T0. Confirm the alarm.
700312 Active tool is not valid any more

Process: A tool is still selected but the tool management does not definitely
know if the turret is still on the correct position.
Solution: Select the tool again. Confirm the alarm with RESET.
700316 Turret movement is not possible. Toolsetter in working area.

Process: An attempt was made to move the turret by means of +T or -T while
the toolsetter was swung in or while the Toolsetter input screen was
active. This operation is only possible with key-operated switch setting
2 or 3.
Solution: Confirm the alarm with Reset. Turn the key-operated switch to setting
2 or 3, or swing the toolsetter out and exit the Toolsetter input screen.
700317 Action not possible

Process: An attempt was made to start an action in either the input screens of
the tailstock or the Toolsetter. However, the machine is not presently in
a start-ready state due to one of the following reasons:
• Not all axes have been referenced
• There is a block on read-from-NC
• The safety door is not locked and the machine is not in permission
mode
Solution: Confirm the alarm with Reset. Remove the cause of the read-from-NC
block.

700329 Load / unload tool only possible in Reset state

Process: An attempt was made to load or remove a tool while the control system
mode was active (e.g. while a program was running)
Solution: Confirm the alarm with Reset. Make sure that the control system is in
the Reset state.
700416 ASUP 1 could not be initialized

Process: An ASUP could not be initialized due to an internal error
Solution: Hold down the Reset button for 5 seconds to confirm the alarm. If this
alarm is triggered several times, please contact the Service
Department as soon as possible.

700802 Timelimit: waiting for FB channel 1 is crossed

Process: A load block (program does not continue with the execution of the
parts program) occurred which lasted longer than the specified time
period (time can be parameterised up to a max. 20 seconds).An
emergency-STOP was triggered after expiry of this time period due to
safety reasons.
Solution: Use diagnostics to ascertain the actual/triggering message and then
eliminate cause.
700803 Timelimit: waiting for FB channel 2 is crossed

Process: See message 700802
Solution: See message 700802

Process: The oil level in the guideway oil reservoir is at a minimum
700050 Switch Feed on

Process: The axis feed was stopped with the red Feed STOP button. Switch the
feed back on with the green Feed On button. The spindle must be
switched on beforehand (see Message 700041).
700061 Rear main spindle clamping position not reached

Process: The clamping cylinder was moved to the rear clamping position in the
program with M68/M69 (dependent on rear clamping parameter S1),
but has not reached the corresponding position limit switch
Solution: Check the clamping unit, recalibrate initiator if necessary.

700062 Empty main spindle clamping position not reached

Process: M67 was used to program an empty stroke of the clamping cylinder to
check that no workpiece is still present in the spindle.
Solution: Remove stuck workpiece or check initiator.
700063 Front main spindle clamping pressure not in nominal range

Process: See Message 700060.

Process: The end position of the move programmed with M81 has not been
reached.
Solution: Put pneumatic cylinder in smooth operation mode, check the chokes
and silencers to see if they are plugged, check the hoses to see if they
are kinked. Check initiators (indicated with M81 in circuit diagram),
recalibrate if necessary. To do this, press the Emergency stop and
move the cylinder to both end positions in a depressurized state. The
initiator must light up at the end positions.

Process: See Message 700132
Solution: See Message 700132

Process: The command Load cycle Start was given to the bar magazine at
program end by the lathe. The bar loader removes scrap parts and
places a new bar in the guide channel.

Process: The bar loader has placed a new bar in the guide channel. After this
process, the input Material present is set to switch the spindle into
oscillation mode and the command Move is given.

Process: The bar loader has positioned the bar in the spindle and the signal
Insert position reached is set. The machine should now start the
machining program automatically. If the start does not occur when

Solution: Change to ShopTurn, press Reset (so that the machine is in the safe
RESET condition), then change back to CNC-ISO.
700863 Turret location lock is not active. Select tool!

Process: One or more turret locations are locked. On account of preceded
alarms or because the turret has been turned manually (in case of
some turrets) the tool management does not clearly know the current
position of the turret. That’s why the location locks cannot be taken into
account in case of the automatic determination of the rotation direction
and it can be that all locked locations will be passed.
Solution: Select a tool. With it give also at the same time explicitly the rotation
direction M13 / M14. Or if there is any doubt turn the turret before
selecting the tool manually to the needed location (in this case the
turret will not turn anymore when selecting the tool).

C Operation/Maintenance Maintenance
Machine type: Universaldrehmaschine TC600

5 Maintenance

5.1 Introduction
The maintenance guidelines given in this document for SPINNER machines inform you on
how to carry out the required maintenance on the machines to retain the same precision,
availability and life span.
If the maintenance guidelines are not observed or if the specified maintenance intervals
are not maintained then this may lead to malfunctions when operating the machine and to
premature wear of the machine components. The operator of the machine must follow the
maintenance guidelines in order for a warranty claim to be granted by the SPINNER
company. Machine damage that is the result of a lack of care or maintenance or that is
due to non-adherence to the maintenance intervals are not covered by the warranty. We
therefore recommend that you keep a maintenance book in which all maintenance work
conducted is entered.
Inspection intervals can change depending on the intensity of use when machining, how
dirty the machining work is, the environmental conditions, any especially difficult operating
conditions, etc., and are to be changed accordingly by the operator, if necessary.
IF THE MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES ARE NOT OBSERVED OR IF

THE SPECIFIED MAINTENANCE INTERVALS ARE NOT
MAINTAINED, THEN THIS MAY LEAD TO MALFUNCTIONS WHEN
OPERATING THE MACHINE AND TO PREMATURE WEAR OF
THE MACHINE COMPONENTS!
5.2 Warranty information

SPINNER machines are manufactured with the greatest care and precision and are
subjected to numerous tests, functional and quality control checks before they are
delivered to the final customer. The geometry values and quality specifications
determined during these tests and checks are recorded in the machine log and serve as
base values and comparative values when inspecting the machine during a service call,
for example. There is a 1 year (= 2000 hours) replacement guarantee for
malfunctioning/defective machine components, mechanical assembly components or
assemblies as well as for electrical or electronic components belonging to the CNC
control system and the drive controller that malfunction or are defective due to premature
wear, poor materials or manufacturing defects. The following are not covered by the
warranty:
• Damage to the machine caused by operating errors such as machine collision or

crashes. In this case the machine tool must be completely inspected by a service
technician from the SPINNER company. In no case may the machine continue to
be operated. Additional machine components may become damaged or, when
parts relating to safety are damaged, the operating personnel may be injured.
SPINNER reserves the right to claim that damage to the machine may be the
result of a crash that occurred earlier even if the entire machine was inspected at
that time, and can reject a warranty claim for the free repair or exchange of the
assembly component.
• Damage to the machine caused by fire, the effects of water, other natural events
or natural disasters or by incorrect handling of the machine such as overloading
(e.g. belts that break due to overloading), results of impacts, crashes, gross
negligence, vandalism, etc.

• Damage to the machine caused by faulty repair work that was not done by a
SPINNER service technician or other authorized sales partners.
• The results of normal wear such as damage to the paint, scratches on the safety
glass of the safety door, wear to the wiper lips of the guideway cover, etc
5.3 General information on maintenance / care
5.3.1 Machine
You are to regularly remove chips left laying around in the working area. The cleaning
interval depends on the application and operating conditions. Never use compressed air
to do this. Instead, clean the working area using the emulsion from the cooling lubricant
system. Make sure that you do not point a concentrated stream directly at the labyrinth
packing of the spindle. This can allow water to penetrate and to cause premature wear.
Additionally, you should make sure that the machine is generally clean. It is
recommended to clean the machine regularly to prevent damage caused by too much
dirt. Also clean the machine when a technical engineer from Spinner (after-sales service)
is expected. You will help him to finish his work earlier.
ONLY CLEAN THE WORKING AREA WITH EMULSION FROM

THE COOLING LUBRICANT SYSTEM! DO NOT POINT A
CONCENTRATED STREAM DIRECTLY AT THE LABYRINTH
PACKING OF THE SPINDLE! THIS CAN ALLOW WATER TO
PENETRATE AND TO CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR!
CHECK REGULARLY ALL FANS AND VENTILATORS (E. G. OF

MOTORS, PUMPS, OF THE ELECTRIC CABINET ETC.) AND ALL
STRAINERS AND FILTERS OF MOUNTED AGGREGATES
WEATHER THEY ARE DIRTY! IF NECESSARY CLEAN THEM
IMMEDIATELY! THEY MUST NOT CLOG BY DIRT OR DUST! DIRT
AND DUST CAN HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THEIR FUNCTION
AND DAMAGE THE CORRESPONDING AGGREGATE OR EVEN THE
MACHINE!

5.3.2 Pneumatic system (when a part catcher is mounted) and hydraulic

system
Generally, you should make sure that the pneumatic and hydraulic system is in perfect
operating condition. Damaged hoses or couplings must be replaced immediately.
5.3.3 Safety doors

The safety door is equipped with a high-impact resistant Polycarbonate screen. If a
workpiece were to become loose and fly off the chucking tool, then the safety glass will
prevent the workpiece from breaking through. However, in spite of this safety feature, the
operator is still not allowed to stand directly in the flight path of the spindle, and therefore
of the workpiece.
THE SAFETY GLASS MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY

AFTER IT IS BROKEN OR WHEN IT IS CRACKED! IT SHOULD
ALSO BE REPLACED WHEN IT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH A
LOOSE WORKPIECE, EVEN IF NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE
SAFETY GLASS CAN BE FOUND! REPLACE THE SAFETY
GLASSES AFTER 2 YEARS AT THE LATEST FOR AGEING
REASONS!
5.4 Table of lubricants

The lubricants recommended for SPINNER machines are listed in a table in the following.
They guarantee safe and proper operation (see Table 5-1).
You can use similar, exchangeable products from all name-brand mineral oil companies.
You can check to see if you can use similar mineral oils other than those listed in the
table by consulting the technical departments of the corresponding mineral oil companies.
It should be noted that only lubricants with the same viscosity and similar base oils can be
mixed without this having a negative influence on the lubrication. Mixing differently
structured lubricants can have a negative effect on the operating temperature and
lubricating characteristics, and therefore negatively affect the lubricating performance.
Disregarding the lubricant information or using lubricants other than those recommended
in the table can lead to malfunctions when operating the machine and to premature wear
of machine components. Damage to the machine that is caused by the use of unsuitable
lubricants is not covered by the warranty.
MIXING DIFFERENTLY STRUCTURED LUBRICANTS CAN HAVE

A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE,
THE LUBRICATING CHARACTERISTICS AND THEREFORE
NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE LUBRICATING PERFORMANCE!

THE SIMPLE MAINTENANCE WORK (UP TO 2000h) DESCRIBED IN THE

TABLE ABOVE CAN BE DONE BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL OF THE
OPERATOR. ALL THE EXTENSIVE MAINTENANCE WORK (AFTER
2000h) SHOULD BE DONE BY A SERVICE ENGENEER FROM SPINNER.
F
IF YOU WANT, THE SPINNER COMPANY CAN GIVE A SPECIAL
TRAINING FOR THE OPERATOR´S MAINTENANCE STAFF SO THAT THE
EXTENSIVE MAINTENANCE WORK CAN BE DONE BY THE OPERATOR
HIMSELF. TO CONTROL IF ALL MAINTENANCE WORK HAS BEEN
DONE CORRECTLY WE RECOMMEND TO KEEP A MAINTENANCE
BOOK.
5.6 Replacing hose lines

The operator must also make sure that hose lines are replaced at suitable intervals even
when no hose defects are found that would affect the safety of the machine.
The usage life of hose lines should not exceed six years, including a maximum storage
duration of 2 years. Deviations from this usage life cycle can be determined in
accordance with current test values and user experience in the individual application
areas, particularly taking the usage conditions into account. Other standard values may
be decisive for hoses and hose lines made of thermoplastics. Deviations from the above-
mentioned usage life are only to be put into practice in as far as they do not conflict with
operating instructions from the manufacturer.
5.6.1 Inspection
Before commissioning the machine for the first time, knowledgeable and trained
personnel are to inspect hose lines; subsequently they are to be inspected at least once
per year to ensure safe operating condition. If defects are detected during an inspection,
such defects must be remedied immediately or suitable measures must be taken.

5.7 Replacing the double van / battery module

You can insert a 3V lithium battery into the double van / battery module. The battery is
already equipped with a cable with a length of 4cm, including the plug. To connect it to
the double van / battery module there is a suitable plug on a small circuit board.
Proceed as follows to replace the double van / battery module. Step 3 and 4 must only be
done when you also replace the battery:
1. Press the double van / battery module slightly to the back in order to unlock the
module from its front fixing.
2. Hold the double van / battery module forward at an angle and pull the plastic
fixing plate out of the recess of the Control Unit.
3. Take out the battery by first removing the plug.
4. Connect the plug of the battery cable to the counter plug in the double van
/battery module. Then insert the battery.
5. Hold the double van / battery module forward at an angle, the open side to the
top so that you can see the battery.
6. Insert the plastic fixing plate into the recess on the bottom of the Control Unit.
7. Move the double van / battery module upwards until the front locking clicks into
place.
The electric connection between the double van / battery module and the Control Unit is
done automatically.

5.8 Hydraulic clamping cylinder
5.8.1 Safety valves

VNK cylinders are equipped with 2 safety valves which can be controlled from outside.
They maintain the pressure in the cylinder chamber when the oil supply is reduced or
interrupted.
5.8.2 Clamping pressure

The minimum pressure is 5 bar.
5.8.3 Control of piston stroke

The control of the piston stroke is mounted at the back of the clamping cylinder. The
control is realised by a linear measuring system. How to adjust the system see book C
Operation/Maintenance, chapter 2 Setting up the machine.
5.8.4 Remarks for hydraulic cylinders
THE OUTLET MUST ALWAYS POINT DOWN.
THE HOSE FOR LEAKAGE OIL MUST NOT BEND. IF IT BENDS IT

WILL NARROW THE CROSS-SECTION FOR THE RETURN OF THE
F
OIL.
THE HOSE FOR LEAKAGE OIL MUST HAVE A CONSTANT SLOPE

TO THE HYDRAULIC UNIT. THERE MUST NOT FORM ANY POCKET
IN THE HOSE WHICH BLOCK THE OUTFLOW OF THE OIL.
5.8.5 Hydraulic unit and recommended oil types

The hydraulic unit must have an inlet filter with a fineness of 50-60µ and a pressure filter
with 10µ.
The oil types to be used for the rotating clamping cylinder are described in ISO 3448 Type
HM32. The most current trade names are:
SHELL-TELLUS 32
AGIP OSO 32
ESSO NUTO H32 (oder TERESSO 32)
MOBIL DTE 24 (oder DTE LIGHT)
DO NOT USE OIL WITH A HIGHER VISCOSITY BECAUSE THEY

CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGES TO THE CYLINDER IN CASE
OF HIGH SPEED OR COLD OIL!
Change the oil every 12-18 months.

5.8.6 Precautions
INCREASE THE SPEED OF THE CYLINDER STEP BY STEP AND

MAKE SURE THAT THE OIL HAS GOT A MINIMUM
TEMPERATURE OF 35°C BEFORE YOU RUN THE SPINDLE
WITH THE MAXIMUM SPEED!
NEVER RUN THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER WITHOUT HYDRAULIC

PRESSURE! THIS WOULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE
BEARINGS AND THE ROTATION GUIDE!
NEVER RUN THE CLAMPING CYLINDER WITH HIGH SPEED

WHEN THE OIL IS COLD! THIS WILL DAMAGE THE BEARINGS
AND THE OIL FEED! WE RECOMMEND TO CLAMP AND
RELEASE THE CYLINDER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE STARTING
THE PRODUCTION!
AFTER EACH COLLISION CHECK THE ROUNDNESS

(ROUNDNESS < 5/100)!
THE VNK CYLINDERS CONSIST OF 2 MAIN PARTS! ONE OF

THEM IS STATIONARY, THE OTHER ONE ROTATES WITH HIGH
SPEED! IF YOU DO NOT RESPECT THE OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS THERE IS ALWAYS THE
POSSIBILITY THAT BOTH PARTS COME IN CONTACT AND
SEIZE!
NEVER HOLD THE HANDS OR THE HEAD INTO THE SPINDLE

ROOM WHEN THE SPINDLE IS RUNNING! IF THE SPINDLE
SEIZE THIS CAN CAUSE FATAL INJURIES!
THE VNK CYLINDERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH AN OVERFLOW

OPENING SITUATED IN THE COOLANT COLLECTOR. WHEN
THE COOLANT DRAIN HOSE CLOGS UP THIS OPENING
PREVENTS THE COOLANT FROM GETTING INTO THE OIL
CIRCUIT. THEREFORE CHECK REGULARLY IF THE DRAIN
F
OPENING IN THE COOLANT COLLECTOR IS BLOCKED BY
CHIPS. IF NECESSARY REMOVE THEM.
WHEN DRILLING INNER HOLES THE CHIPS ARE

TRANSPORTED BACKWARDS TO THE CLAMPING CYLINDER.
THESE CHIPS MUST BE REMOVED REGULARLY IN ORDER TO
PREVENT THE CLAMPING CYLINDER FROM DAMAGES.

chosen.
- The pressure for the turret is preset in the factory to 30 bar (the adjusting screw is
sealed). There is also a pressure switch to monitor whether the turret is indexed
correctly.

To ensure problem-free operation, please observe the following:
• MONITOR THE FLUID LEVEL IN THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR

DAILY. A LEVEL INDICATOR IS LOCATED ON THE FRONT OF THE
HYDRAULIC UNIT. NOTE THAT THE LEVEL FLUCTUATES BECAUSE
OF THE DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF FLUID IN CIRCULATION. THE
INDICATOR MUST THEREFORE BE WATCHED FOR A FAIRLY LONG
TIME.
• ONLY FILL WITH THE FLUID PRESCRIBED IN THE MAINTENANCE
MANUAL
• ONLY CARRY OUT MAINTENANCE WORK WHEN THE SYSTEM IS
DEPRESSURISED.
• PAY ATTENTION TO THE PRESSURE MONITOR SETTING
(EMERGENCY OFF AS A SAFETY FEATURE).
• CHECK WEEKLY THE OPTICAL INDICATOR FOR THE DIRT DEGREE
OF THE OIL FILTER.
Very old or dirty fluid cannot be improved by topping up with new fluid. Never fill the oil
reservoir without using the filler filter. Only use oil that offers corrosion protection. Note
that hydraulic oils from different manufacturers or different oils from the same
manufacturer cannot necessarily simply be mixed. Your oil supplier can provide
information on the miscibility of oils as necessary.
IF HYDRAULIC OILS FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS OR

DIFFERENT OILS FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER ARE
MIXED, RESIDUES AND DEPOSITS MAY BUILD UP! IN SOME
CASES, THESE MAY LEAD TO MALFUCTIONS AND DAMAGE TO
THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM!

• THE FILLER NECKS MUST NOT BE REMOVED AND THE
INTEGRATED SIEVE MUST NOT BE DAMAGED
• THE SYSTEM MUST NOT BE OPENED DURING OPERATION
2.3 Maintenance and upkeep

Check the oil level in the central lubricating unit regularly. If the oil level is too low it must
be topped up. Only use oil specified in book C Operation/Maintenance, chapter 5
Maintenance.
When filling the central lubricating reservoir, ensure that everything is extremely clean.
Dirt particles in the oil circuit can cause malfunctions and negatively affect the machine´s
operation.
