SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2-3.
Running NC Programs Created Using the IGF Function
Eeospkkpl005
(1) Use the simulation function of the IGF function to check the operation before running an NC
program created using the IGF function to perform actual machining.
(2) Never run a program created using the IGF function to perform actual machining without check-
ing its operation. Run the program with no workpiece and make sure that there is no interfer-
ence, then cut a workpiece in the single block mode. If no problems are discovered, automatic
operation may be started.
(3) Confirm safety before performing operations involving spindle rotation or axis motion.
(4) Never touch the moving parts of the machine, chips, or the workpiece during machine opera-
tion.
(5) Check the tool offset values.
(6) Check the zero offset values.
(7) Make sure that all override settings on the machine operation panel are set to 100%. Or, if nec-
essary, use a lower override.
(8) If using a machine with a cover, always close the cover before starting operation. Do not oper-
ate the machine with any safety cover removed.
(9) Check carefully that the spindle speed, feedrates, infeeds, etc. specified in created programs
are within the permissible ranges for the tools, chuck, fixture, etc., used during operation.
3.
On Finishing Work
Eeospkkpl006
(1) On finishing work, clean the vicinity of the machine.
(2) Return all devices to their predetermined retraction positions.
(3) Always turn off the power to the machine before leaving it.
(4) Always quit the IGF function before turning off the power.
(5) To turn off the power, turn off the CONTROL ON switch on the operation panel first, then the
main power disconnect switch.
4.
When Performing Maintenance Inspections/When Trouble
Occurs
Eeospkkpl007
(1) To execute an emergency stop, press the emergency stop button on the operation panel.
(2) Consult the person responsible for maintenance to determine what corrective measures need
to be taken.
(3) Before contacting the service center after an alarm or error has occurred, write down all the rel-
evant alarm and error messages displayed.
(4) Carefully read this manual and the manuals relating to alarms and errors, machine and NC unit
operation, and parameters, etc., before taking corrective action during a maintenance inspec-
tion or in response to trouble. Strictly observe the cautions given in these manuals.
