made using the correct procedure.
P. 41, "Installing the Windows-based Driver"
Is VPanel displaying an error message?
P. 91, "Responding to an Error Message"
Is the connection method correct when con-
necting multiple units?
The connection method may be incorrect when con-
necting more than one machine. Confirm the correct
method.
P. 41,"Connecting Multiple Units"
The spindle doesn't rotate.
Are front covers open?
For safety, the spindle does not rotate when are front
covers are open. Close both the upper and lower front
covers.
Is a large amount of cutting waste present?
Clean away any cutting waste. Clean the area around the
spindle especially carefully.
P. 84, "Care and Maintenance of the Cutting Machine"
Has a setting been made to keep the spindle
from rotating?
In VPanel, click the [Setup], then click the [Modeling
Machine] tab. Here, select the [Control spindle via com-
mands] check box.
Abnormal cutting is performed.
Have the origin been set at correct location?
If jig-location detection, or detection of the reference
position for cutting is not carried out correctly, the origin
point may not be set at the correct location. If the origin
point is not set at the correct location, cutting at an un-
intended location or at the wrong depth may occur.
Is the misalignment of centers of workpiece
height and A axis updated to the cutting
data?
The centers of workpiece height and A axis are not
aligned, when you’re using a cylindrical workpiece with-
out levels or a block workpiece. Create a cutting data with
caution on this point.
P. 73, "Misalignment of centers of workpiece height
and A axis (Offset)"
Jig detection failed.
Is the jig, detection pin, sensor or detection
attachment dirt?
Clean away any grime on the jig, detection pin, sensor, or
detection attachment. Soiling due to buildup of cutting
waste or the like on any of these may impede correct
sensor operation, making correct detection of the jig
impossible.
The feed rate or spindle speed is wrong.
Has an override been set?
An override changes the feed rate or spindle speed.
Check the settings for overrides. Unless you have a
special reason for changing them, leave all overrides
set at 100%.
P. 80, "Override"
The cutting results are not attractive.
Is the workpiece securely mounted in place?
Redo loading of the workpiece. Fasten in place securely,
so that the workpiece will not slip out of place or come
loose because of tool pressure or vibration during cut-
ting.
Is the tool firmly secured in place?
Retighten the collet to secure in place firmly.
P. 76, "Installing a Tool"
Is the tool tip worn?
If the tip of the tool is worn, replace with a new tool.
Installation is impossible
If installation quits partway through, or if the wizard does
not appear when you make the connection with a USB
cable,
take action as follows.
