During set-up take note that the bearings of the high-speed spindle have to be run
in first after a longer period of standstill (several months) or after transport.
During
initial set-up the spindle should run at 10 000 rpm for several hours.
Normal warm-up of 3 to 10 minutes (at 20 000 rpm) of the spindle is automatically
controlled by BoardMaster. The duration of this warm-up depends on the length of
time the system has been off. During warm-up no speeds exceeding 20,000 rpm
will be allowed. Programmed speed above 20,000RPM will be allowed after the
warm-up time.
3.4 After switching on
When it has been switched on, the equipment moves to limit switches -X and -Y,
and the system then halts in the tool change position. It is then able to accept
commands from the machine drivers. If the equipment does not move when it has
been switched on, check the following:
1. Is the POWER LED on (is on only after successful initialization) ?
2. Are all cables properly inserted ?
3. If necessary, check the fuses at the input power connection!
3.5 Function test with BoardMaster
CAUTION! Make sure that nothing is in the machine operating area when the
first functional test is taking place!
First check that the baud rate for the serial interface used is set to
9600 baud, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity bit and hardware handshake
. Also check that
Channel
and the correct interface have been selected in BoardMaster under
Machine Connect...
Consult the BoardMaster Manual if you need help.
Now using BoardMaster:
1. turn on the motor (first the motor will turn at a maximum of 20,000 rpm)
2. raise/lower the head
3. switch off the motor
4. move the head manually using the cursor keys on the BoardMaster function
bar.
5. If the equipment does not move, check the interface configuration, the
connecting cable as well as the PC interface.
