Installation Checklist
15. Install coolant pump and coolant wash fittings as they are removed during shipment. Install
hoses labeled 1 through 4 to the corresponding fittings labeled 1 through 4. Refer to section 2.10.
16. Temporarily fasten the left side X axis way cover and front Y axis way cover prior to homing.
This is to ensure we don’t damage these covers by accident. We say temporarily because you
should remove it again to check lubrication as step 18 states.
17. Press SET HOME to home machine.
Did the X axis home properly?
Did the Y axis home properly?
Did the Z axis home properly?
Did the ATC home properly? Station # 1 should be at the tool change position.
18. Jog the X, Y and Z axis back and forth until the linear guide surfaces are well lubricated. Oil
should be visible on all the linear guide surfaces and ball screws. Once lubrication is verified,
attach all way covers.
19. Go to DRO mode and move each axis in a positive direction.
Select the X axis, does the table move to the left when turning EHW CW?
Select the Y axis, does the saddle move toward the operator when turning the EHW CW?
Select the Z axis, does the head move up when turning the EHW CW?
Check that 1 click of the EHW in FAST mode is 0.100”
20. Double check the motor index angle for each axis using service code 505. Index angles must
be checked in the positive direction, towards the homing switch. If this needs to be modified on
the Z axis, then re-set the tool change height with service code 501.
21. If you have the EHW option then perform these checks:
Make sure the EHW’s on each axis work properly in FINE and COURSE mode.
In Tool Room Ops, pull out the Z EHW from its parked position and move the head up as high as
it can go and confirm you get a flashing Z EHW SOFT LIMIT message.
In Production Ops, pull out the Z EHW from its parked position and try to run a program. Verify
the control produces a fault message stating the Z EHW must be parked.
22. Final test each axis by using the JOG button. Verify the machine does not hit the hard stop on
the machine. Re-adjust Home switch cam if it does. If the Z axis is adjusted, then service code
501 may need to be performed. The soft limits are set in service code 505, adjust as required but
this should come from the factory with no changes necessary.
23. Install Y axis way cover bracket between front and rear way cover. Install the lower 3 sheet
metal skirt covers on the front and sides of the machine.
