SAFETY PRACTICES DURING SETUP
"Setup" is the sequence of operations between turning the power to the machine ON and starting
mass production. It includes inputting of the program, shaping of soft jaws, setting of tool offsets,
program checking, and test cutting.
WARNING
1.
The machine should normally be operated by one, well-trained
person only.
In cases where more than one operator is essential, the operators
must cooperate carefully, communicating as fully as possible. If one
operator presses buttons on the operation panel or feeds machine
axes while another is replacing a workpiece, soft jaws, a fixture, or
cutting tool, etc., that operator, or someone standing close by, could
be entangled in the machine and seriously injured.
2.
In order to ensure operator safety, implement the following safety
measures during setup while the door is shut and the door interlock
function is released.
<To prevent starting of automatic operation>
1) Select the handle mode with the mode selection switch.
2) Unclamp the chuck.
3) Close the cover over the
(START) switch.
(Applies to machines equipped with covered switches.)
4) Set the spindle speed range to "Neutral".
(Applies only to machines equipped with a transmission.)
<To ensure operator safety if automatic operation is started by
mistake>
1) Set override switches (spindle speed, rapid traverse, cutting
feedrate) to the lowest position.
2) Switch the single block function ON.
3) Switch the machine lock function ON.
4) Establish the coolant OFF mode by pressing the coolant OFF
switch for longer than one second.
