Operator Training
This training is competency based and hands on with practical application
in mind. To ensure its usability, all the information covered is cross-refer-
enced to the Operation Guide.
This process requires machining a test part and involves basic program-
ming, part set-up, program prove out, and operation. With assistance from
the FSE, the part is developed in steps that reinforce earlier steps, and
adds new ones. A final test part is given for the operators to complete by
themselves.
The FSE covers:
• Machine Overview
- Major machine components and control and function operations are
explained, including checks and PM (Preventive Maintenance).
- Proper procedures for power On and power Off, machine reference,
tool changing, and basic alarm recovery are demonstrated.
- Operation of the control panels and display are explained, demon-
strated, and practiced.
• Job Set-up
- Finding program zero and assigning work coordinate offsets is
practiced.
- Finding and assigning tool offsets is practiced.
- Tool assignment is practiced.
• Control Operation
- All screens and functions are explained and demonstrated. All com-
mon screens and their operation are practiced.
- Program search, entry, and editing are explained and practiced.
- MDI (Manual Data Input) operation is explained and performed.
- Program Restart is performed and practiced.
Operator Training
1. This training can be modified, to some extent, to suit the needs of your personnel.
2. Specific questions will be answered on the spot when possible or referred to the
appropriate personnel at your distributor or Makino.
3. Although FSEs are familiar with programming, they are not programming experts.
The FSE can assist in preparing programs for training, answer programming ques-
tions, or refer you to an applications engineer, if needed. The FSE cannot set up
your manufacturing process.
