A-24 OPERATION PANELS
<When the single block function is valid>
When the
(START) switch is pressed after pressing the single block switch
and the
indicator in the switch is lit, the machine stops after the execution of one block of commands.
To execute the next block of commands, press the
(START) switch again.
<When the single block function is invalid>
The program is executed continuously when the
(START) switch is pressed.
WARNING
1.
If the single block function is made valid during automatic operation,
the next block is stored in the buffer register. To stop the process
currently being executed in order to execute another process in this
condition (i.e., with the data for the next block stored in the buffer
register), clear the data in the buffer register by pressing the
(RESET) key. If you attempt to execute another process while the
data is still stored in the buffer memory, the machine will operate in
an unexpected manner, and this could cause accidents involving
serious injuries or damage to the machine.
2.
If the door interlock function is "released" while the single block
function is valid, it constitutes a very dangerous situation since the
door is unlocked and can be opened even while the machine is
operating, regardless of the state of the DOOR UNLOCK switch
(locked or unlocked), the selected mode, or executed operation
(automatic operation and manual operation). If the necessary
operation requires work to be carried out with the door open while
the machine is operating, this work must be limited only to that
which is absolutely necessary and must be carried out very
carefully.
Carrying out work with the door open while the machine is operating
will cause injuries due to the operator being entangled in the rotating
parts of the machine, crushed by its moving parts, being struck by a
workpiece or chuck jaws that have flown out of the machine, or
being splashed by chips and coolant.
