Initial State
The initial state of the drill is defined as follows:
•
The drill motor and cooling pump are stopped
•
The carriage/drill is in the upper position
•
There is no work piece in the clamping device
Functional Diagram - Drilling Sequence
The entire drilling sequence can be divided into the following sections:
•
Insert work piece (manual)
•
If required, set switch for coolant (depending on the material)
•
Start the machine with the start button (drill motor starts up)
•
Clamp the work piece with the selected clamp pressure
•
Start the cooling pump (if coolant selected)
•
Lower drill and carriage to the bottom target position (drill)
•
Wait 0.5 seconds at lower target position (drill)
•
Raise drill with carriage to upper target position
•
Remove work piece, turn off drill motor and cooling pump
•
Remove work piece (manual)

Selecting the Structure of the Sequencer
Before you write the program for the sequencer, you should include a concept
phase in which you break down the drilling operation into single steps. The basis of
the concept design is the technological drawing and the flowchart.
