6.1 Dorian Indexer Option
6.1.1 Field Installation Instructions
1.
Turn power on to the machine.
2.
Verify air has been hooked up to the machine. The air regulator is mounted to the
bottom left of the electrical cabinet.
3.
Make sure the on/off switch on the white box on top of the chip guard is turned on.
When it is on a green light will be illuminated.
4.
Go to SETUP mode under TOOL GROUPS to verify the indexer softkey is activated.
Then press the INDEXER key to activate the indexer. It will turn gray when
activated.
5.
Go to DRO mode and press
TOOL #
and enter a number from 1 to 8. The indexer
should move to this tool number. The tool number on the indexer is found right
above the tool slot. If the tool # in the control and on the indexer is in the wrong
position, enter Service Code 147 to re-initialize the indexer.
6.
To verify the indexer is working properly, run a program with all 8 tools. To run the
program, enter a home position in Setup Mode. Make sure you set the X and Z
absolute zero position 300 – 450 mm from the chuck. Set the home position to X =
3 and Z = 3. Run a program and make sure the indexer moves to the correct tool
stations programmed. Verify that the indexer positions to each tool station. If there
is a problem refer to the troubleshooting section.
6.1.2 Removing the Indexer from the Lathe
1.
Turn the main power off to the machine.
2.
Unhook the air line from the air regulator.
3.
Disconnect 2 air lines and 2 electrical lines. The 2 air lines need to be disconnected at the
white box that is mounted on the top of the chip enclosure. The fittings are the quick-
disconnect type where you push in on the connector and pull the air lines loose. One
electrical cable needs to be removed from the white electrical box and one cable from the
black electrical box. All four connections to the indexer are inside a flexible black conduit.
(See Figure 26) at the end of this section for layout of cable connections.
4.
Unhook the black cable from the brackets that run on top of the chip enclosure.
5.
Remove the cabling that goes runs across the crosslide.
6.
Remove the indexer from the cross slide. It is fastened down with 6 socket head cap
screws to the riser block. Remove the riser block from the cross slide. You may want to
remove the indexer and riser block assembled together but it may be difficult to slide the
whole thing out of the T-slots. Be careful, the indexer weighs approximately 36 kg.
7.
To re-install the indexer, follow these steps in reverse order. Make sure you install
the riser block at least 57 mm from the front of the cross slide, not the front bracket.
Failure to do this will cause the indexer to hit the sliding door when the cross slide is
all the way toward the operator.
