4.2.6 Cube machining
1. Hold the support door and unlatch it. Move the support door carefully to
its open position. Ensure that the door is completely open and held at the
magnetic counter holder.
2. Place the appropriate workpiece.
3. Actuate the lower workpiece clamping.
4. Push the workpiece against the left-hand side limit stop and against the
lower workpiece clamping.
5. Move the pressure unit for the body against the workpiece.
6. Clamp the workpiece at the top, side and rear.
7. Start the desired program.
8. The machining begins.
9. After completion of the machining program, the support travels to the
programmed wait position.
10. Enter the safety area.
11. Unclamp the workpiece.
12. Remove the workpiece.
4.2.7 Working with the machine software
A detailed description for working with the machine program can be found in
the separate "Workshop programming" operating instructions.
These contain all information required for creating jobs for your machining
centre.
Note:
You can also find the "Workshop programming" operating in-
structions at our internet homepage.
4.2.8 Replacing worn tools
Once a tool is worn, replace it to ensure a perfect cutting pattern and to mini-
mise standstill times.
1. Remove the tool holder with the broken or worn tool from the spindle.
2. Clamp the tool holder in the tool mounting aid or some other suitable
clamping tool.
3. Loosen the screw joint at the tool holder to relieve the collet using an
open-end spanner.
4. Remove the worn tool and loosely insert a new tool.
5. Set the length of the tool to that stored in the machine parameters.
6. Clamp the tool in the collet using a hook spanner.
7. Remove the tool holder from the clamping device and transfer the new
length of the tool to the machine parameters.
8. Load the tool holder with the new tool in the previously used tool maga-
zine slot.
9. You can now continue the machining as usual.
Note:
At the last machining location immediately before the tool break-
age, it is possible that the material to be machined has ceased
glowing and the material is greatly hardened at the edges. This
results in much increased wear during the new approach and re-
duced service life of the new tool. Consequently, we recommend
the replacement of the tools prior to the tool breakage.
