VP2012-HSS -FANUC 18iM, Chapter 2-Instruction 2-16
2. INSTRUCTION
2.1 Description of machine design and construction

The basic machine consists of the Machine bed, Table, The bridge, Saddle, Spindle Carrier,
Dual hydraulic counter balance system and Auto tool changing system. (Refer to Figure 2-1).
All of which are designed to give high precision for long term and heavy duty cutting
performance over many years of machining operation. All of which are described as below:

2.1.1 Machine bed

The machine bed is the foundation of the machining center structure. In addition to providing
rigidity and support for the sliding members, machine alignment is maintained through the
precision leveling of this structure.
2.1.2 The bridge

The bridge is made of one piece, which means columns and beam in one piece. The thick
walls and reinforcement ribs give the machining unsurpassed rigidity and prevent any bending
or twisting that may affect machining accuracy. The bridge is bolted to the side of the machine
bed. The upper linear way bearing is located 75 mm (2.9") behind the lower linear bearing.
EA
This step design greatly reduces headstock overhang for added stability and helps maintain
machining accuracy during heavy cutting operations. The column is bolted to the side of the
table base to ensure the best accuracy alignment and squareness and to allow for maximum
rigidity. The double column construction supports the cutting load symmetrically; thus
bending movement and thermal deflection is minimized.
2.1.3 The table

The largest table size not only allows for the machining of large parts but also increases the
productivity of small to medium sized parts as they can be set up and processed at one time.
The wide distance between the columns all allows for extra clearance for larger work pieces.
2.1.4 The spindle head

W
The large front bearing to assure efficient power transmission to the spindle nose and to enable
heavy duty machining supports the spindle. For rigidity, a square-shaped cross section
headstock was designed. In addition, with only 90 mm from the spindle centerline to Z axis,
so rigidity is unsurpassed. A floating hydraulic cylinder keeps the spindle bearing from being
pushed during tool change cycle. This assured long term machine accuracy and spindle life.
The counter-balance system for the headstock consists of two hydraulic cylinders, which are
arranged to perfectly balance the distribution of the weight of the headstock. The twin
hydraulic cylinders are symmetrically placed to ensure equal lading to the way area and to
maintain sensitivity and accuracy to the cutting area.
A
The spindle temperature is kept constant by use of oil recirculating heat exchanger, which
reduces heat generation. Harmonized temperature between spindle head and machine body
assures minimum spindle expansion at high speeds rotation in long time continuous use.
2.1.5 The feed system

A custom designed safety device is used on all feed systems to protect the machine from
damage caused by accidental, incorrect programming or accidental operator error. If tool head
interference occurs, a unique torque limiter clutch protects the machine from major damage.
Operations are then restored quickly and easily with a simple manual realignment of the clutch.
Use of low friction linear bearing (X and Y axes) and Turcite B (Z axis) which has outstanding
vibration dampening characteristics, This allows for high efficiency, high stability, high
accuracy for long term machining and machine life.
2-17
The guide ways and ball screw are automatically lubricated. The lubricant is collected in a
reservoir. So that the area keep clean and also extends the life of the coolant. The entire guide
way is fully covered by telescopic covers and coolant recovery is ensured. Build-in spiral chip
conveyor and flood coolant flushing minimized cleaning time.
2.1.6 The ATC and Magazine

Unique ATC assures safe and easy tool storage and construction assures interference free work
setting and trouble-free operation. A standard magazine can store 16 tools of maximum size
Φ105 mm x 300 mm ( Φ4.1" x 11.8") and weight 7 kg (15.4 lb) ATC time, tool to tool : 12
seconds. Tools are always protected from coolant, chips and dust by the automatic tool
magazine door. The door is automatically opened and closed by program command when
changing tools.
EA
Especially design lock pin mechanisms are used to prevent the gripper failure while the arm is
rotating. A unique hydra-pneumatic cylinder is used to limit the transfer force, which prevents
damage if any malfunction occurs.
Microcomputer controlled random pot coding assures tool selection from magazine in the
shortest bi-direction tool path. The control panel for the tool magazine is at the front side of
the cabinet along with the foot release switch. The operator can manually exchange tools with
ease.

2-18
2.2 Coordination
Machining centers use the right-hand co-ordinate system to describe the relationship of the axes.
This relationship is in accordance with E.I.A. RS-267-A and I.S.O. R841 Axis and Motion
Nomenclature. The right-hand co-ordinate system also establishes the direction of cutter motion
with respect to the workpiece. The programming exercise depends on the programmer
visualizing the workpiece to be fixed, and that the cutter does all the moving, (theoretical cutter
motion). It is also essential that the programmer view the workpiece from the normal operator
position, looking through the tool from the machine spindle. A theoretical cutter motions to the
back of current position in the Y axis origin which is created by a similar movement of the table
to the front of current position.

3.2.2 Other Stops

There are several methods to stop machine during machine in AUTO or MDI operation. The
descriptions are as below:
A. Program Stop ( M00 )
Stop program, stops spindle, turns coolant OFF, "Tool release" push-button is activated.
"Feedhold" light flashes intermittently.
Cycle operation is stopped after a block containing M00 is executed. When the program is
stopped, all existing modal information remains unchanged as in single block operation.
Specifying CNC start can restart the cycle operation.
It is the programmer's responsibility to program an M03, M04, M13, or M14 to restart spindle
and turn coolant on when restarting the program after an M00 program stop.
EA
B. Optional Stop ( M01 )
Performs the same function as M00 but will not stop the cycle unless "Optional Stop"
push-button is activated (illuminated) before the block containing the M01 is read by the
control. If "Optional Stop" is not activated, the cycle will continue without stopping. When
active, the "Cycle Start" light goes out, "Optional Stop" lights up and "Feed Hold" light is
illuminated. This function is useful when it is necessary to gauge the workpiece during setup.
Pushing "Cycle Start" push-button allows program to continue. It is the programmer's
responsibility to program an M03, M04, M08, M13 or M14 to restart spindle and turn coolant
on when restarting program after an M01 Optional Stop.
ON : Press the button, button lamp will lights up.
Machine will be stopped after the block containing the M01 is read by the
control. Machine will be restarted after release the Optional Stop push-button.

Machine will continue without stopping after the block containing the M01 is
read by the control.
C. End Of Program ( M02, M30 )

The M02 or M30 is used at the end of the program. It is usually the last block programmed. It
stop the spindle, and turns coolant off. "Cycle Start" light goes out and Feedhold light flashes
intermittently. When entering a program in memory from MDI keyboard, placing M30 at end
A
of Program will cause program to automatically return to stop when M30 is encountered in the
enabled program.

(before manual operation)
Manual Operation
Assume that the Feed Hold was applied at point PH while moving from PA to PB of
programmed path PA, PB, and PC and that the tool was manually moved to PH'. The
block end point PB moves to the point PB' by the amount of manual movement, and
vectors VB1 and VB2 at PB also move to VB1' and VB2'. Vectors VC1 and VC2
between the next two blocks PB - PC and PC - PD are discarded and new vectors VC1'
and VC2' ( VC2' = VC2 in the example above ) are produced from the relation between
4-67
PB' - PC and PC - PD. However, since VB2' is not a newly calculated vector, correct
offset is not performed at block PB' - PC. Offset is correctly performed after PC.

This is an example when manual operation is performed during cutter radius cornering.
VA2', VB1', and VB2' are vectors moved in parallel with VA2, VB1 and VB2 by the
amount of manual movement. The new vectors are calculated from VC1 and VC2. Then
correct cutter radius is performed for the blocks following PC.

4.6 Automatic tool change (ATC)

The ATC unit occupies a wide working range and its runs at a high speed. It is very dangerous to
remove the cover or to enter the working range before maintenance. Be sure to switch off the
power.
The figure following illustrates the relations between the ATC unit and the Magazine.
A. T __ Code operating procedure.

By use of this code, the spindle picks up the next processing tool from the magazine. If T code
is commanded, the tool magazine operating procedure will be shown as listed:

B. M6 Code operating procedure.

By using this code, the tool on the spindle is replaced with the one on the tool gripper. After
putting back the replaced tool in its pocket in the magazine, ATC comes back to the primary
state. If M6 code is commanded, the ATC operating procedure will be shown as listed here:
C. Note for ATC programming

(1) It is recommended that T code is commanded well before M6 in order to cut down the
machining time, because the T code can be carried out while machining still goes on.
(2) Program for ATC is already for work after you operate ATC by M6 Code. The
sub-program for ATC is put into the user macro B, protected by a secret code. The user
can not edit by any method. The contents of this program for your reference are the

5. TROUBLE SHOOTING
This chapter is describing how to find and fix the problem come out from the PMC
(Programmable Machine Controller), other than Alarms from NC or Servo system may describe
by FANUC manual. Check the following items, if the machine still can not function properly,
contact our Representative or our Office in your territory and give the following particulars: (1)
Machine Model (2) Serial No. (All are on the machine nameplate) (3) Condition of the machine
( as much detail as possible ).
5.1 Trouble Shooting Guide
EA
In case of any short circuit or thermal break caused by any mechanical overloaded or
mis-operation, when electrical malfunction occurs, a prior knowledge of the components
governing the various machine functions can be very useful in isolation the problem to a specific
area of the control circuit.
Once the problem area has been defined, the electrical components controlling that function
should be checked for proper operation .The coils of any of the electrically held control devices
included within the problem area should be checked to see if they are in the proper state;
energized or de-energized as specified in the electrical diagrams. This can be accomplished by
checking the state of the indicating mechanism on the control device. If a coil is found to be in
the incorrect state, then the components and related circuitry controlling the state of that
component must be checked using a volt-ohm meter or similar checking device. First checks to
be certain that 220 volt supply is being delivered to the problem area. The circuit components
will generally operate within a range of 198 to 240 volts. If the supply voltage is below the
minimum value, it may be inadequate to energize the circuit components. In this case, check the
W
transformer output to see if it is within the prescribed range (220 volt +/-10%). If not, check the
power source to see if line voltage is being delivered to the electrical system. If the power source
and transformer outputs appear to be adequate but the voltage being delivered to the problem area
is low, there is probably a “short” somewhere in system between the transformer and the problem
area.
With the proper voltage being supplied to the problem area, check across each of the circuit
components until a loss of voltage is detected, thereby indicting the component causing the
problem.
It is quite possible that the coil of the electrically held control device is in the proper state but a
A
system malfunction still exists. In this case, the related circuit components controlling the state of
that coil would appear to be functioning properly electrically, thereby indicting that it is not
necessary to check out the circuit as previously described. In this situation, the contacts
should be inspected for mechanical binding, welded contacts, dirt, dust, corrosion or similar
abnormality.
If the components previously checked appear to be functioning properly and a malfunction still
exists, check the electrical circuit for such abnormalities as defective motor, stuck solenoid,
broken or loose wiring, short circuit, etc.
Some common component problems and their possible cause and cures are listed on the Trouble
shooting guide:

2. Fluid reservoir - with conveyor, without Thru. Coolant Spindle.
The coolant reservoir consists of a free standing sheet steel unit, positioned across and under
the front of the machine. Positioned above this is a moveable chip conveyor. The trough of
which is open to the reservoir. The reservoir can be filled by pouring coolant into the trough
via the cut-outs in the floor of the machine guarding.
A strainer located along the front of the trough prevents cutting chips from entering the
reservoir. The capacity of the reservoir is 400 liters for machine without Through spindle
coolant. Normal usage requires the coolant reservoir to be drained and cleaned once every 6
months. Clean strainer as required.

Figure 6.4 Coolant lines layout
3. Fluid reservoir - With Thru Coolant Spindle.

The free standing reservoir unit of 400 liters capacity and the moveable chip conveyor is
positioned across and under the front of the machine with the conveyor outlet hood being to
the left of the operator. Attached to the front wall of the hood are the operator controls. An
extra high volume tank of 1000 liters capacity is additional offset to the 400 liters tank which
is located at the rear side of the tool magazine. When the Thru coolant spindle is using,
6-107
coolant is pumped to the coolant nozzles by an electric motor driven pump of 5 HP. This unit
is mounted on the wall of the high volume coolant tank. The coolant in the high volume tank
is pumped from the reservoir of 400 liters and filtered by a 100 micron reversible cleaning
type filter before entering to the high volume coolant tank.
Both coolants are controlling by a leveling sensing system. The coolant is supplied to the
spindle nose through flexible outlet pipe. Coolant may be selected by the programmer using M
codes, or by the operator using the manual controls. Coolant is selected the pump motor is
energized.
When the option is fitted, the supply from the pump unit is split to feed into two adjacent
mounted solenoid valves. One valve supplies coolant to the exterior stay put pipes whilst the
EA
other valve supplies coolant to the rotary coupling mounted at the top of the spindle. Selection
of the type of coolant to be used, is by means of the use of M codes, which in turn selects one
or other of the coolant solenoid valves.
The flow capacity of the 400 liters coolant system is Appr. 70 liters per min. at a head by low
pressure at 8 kg/cm2 and the flow capacity of 1000 liters coolant system is approximately 40
liter per min. at a head by high pressure at 20 kg/cm2.
The coolant piping diagram is show as Figure 6.4 and its parts list can be found in Chapter 9,
Appendix 11.
4. Clean The Coolant Reservoir

The system requires periodic attention and servicing. The reservoir should be drained and
cleaned periodically to remove sediments and prevent conditions that lead to deterioration of
the coolant. To renew the coolant, hold two handles and pull it out. The coolant Tank can be
W
easily pull out because of the coolant tank is equipped with swivelable wheels which provides
the coolant tank can be moved smoothly. The reservoir can be drained by loosen the drain as
shown in Figure 6-5. To remove the coolant, it can be also removed by using suction pump
unit. To remove grift, dirt, or oil clinging to the walls of the reservoir or inside the coolant
lines, cleaning can be done by removing the used fluid before adding. After the system has
been drained, refill with new cutting oil base fluid mixture as specified in Recommended
Cutting Fluids.
5. Recommended Cutting Fluids
A
Frequently, cast iron, brass, soft bronze and aluminum materials are machined without a
cutting fluid. However, in the case of harder materials high finish requirements or part
deformation due to heat of machining, a cutting fluid is essential. Our recommendation is to
use a coolant which efficiency in reducing and renovating heat at the tool point, and their
ability to provide rust and rancidity control. In choosing a cutting fluid, select a general
purpose fluid that meets the requirements of the severest operation regularly performed and
one that provides a high degree of lubricity combined with fast cooling.

(3) Cleaning filter or condenser Tap lightly the filter turning its dirty face downwards or suck
its dust by a cleaner.
(4) The frequency of cleaning the oil strainer differ according to oil quality. Carry out cleaning
as many times as possible. Normally, clean it once a day in the initial stage immediately
after pipe connection and once in two to four days after starting normal operation.
(5) Periodic removal of water
If the unit is operating in an area with much moisture, water is liable to deposit naturally in
the tank. Discharge this water from the oil drain plug on the bottom of the tank every
month.

(6) The air filter should not be removed during operation. It is highly dangerous to remove filter
because the hot refrigerant piping and running fan are exposed. When oilmatic is checked or
serviced. be sure to turn off the main switch.
(7) The oilmatic should any trouble arise to call for repair, caution given below should be
observed without fail, The repair work may possible involve the use of fire.
In this case, demount oilmatic from the aggregate and be sure to extract oil from the system
before the repair work. Choose the place free from fire hazard and dwell ventilated to be
free from suffocation caused by refrigerant.
(8) When the unit is not operate for a long period, turn off the main switch first and protect the
inside of the face of the condenser against dust or moisture, etc.

7. INSTALLATION
7.1 General
AWEA machine tools are extremely robust production machines. They work, however, to the
same high degree of accuracy as demanded only in laboratory work.
This does not mean that they have to be installed in a special room, but on the other hand, the
following recommendations and rules should be noted and, as far as possible, followed.
EA
7.2 Thermal expansion
It is known fact that heat causes bodies to expand, and unfortunately, this all too often creates
difficulties when machining very accurate parts.
Every experienced operator has been plagued by this phenomenon, and many an expensive
workpiece has had to be scrapped on account of it.
The coefficient of expansion of cast iron and standard steel is about 0.0000115, that is to say,
with a temperature difference of 2 deg. C ( 3.6 deg. F) the length of a workpiece 500 mm long
(20 in) alters by 0 . 0 1 1 5 mm ( 0.00046 in ) or by a multiple of the accuracy of the machine.
Therefore, it is of the greatest importance, that variations in temperature in the workshop or more
especially, differences in temperature between the workpiece and the machine should be avoided
or at least kept as small as possible.
W
If the workshop is not air-conditioned, drafts and big temperature drops, particularly between
day and night time, should be avoided.
To maintain a balance of temperature between the workpiece and the machine, we recommend
that you proceed as follows:
* Store the parts to be machined in the immediate vicinity of the machine (if possible, on the
machine table).
* Allow at least 6 hours for acclimatizing small parts (placing them on the table at night) and
correspondingly longer for large and massive parts.
A
Naturally, the bigger the difference between the temperature of the machine and that of the
workpiece, the more important it is to observe this rule. Even if the temperature in the workshop
is kept at 20 deg. C (68 deg. F), the workpiece must be acclimatized if very close tolerance limits
are to be maintained.
7.3 Heat radiation
All sources of heat, such as radiators or the rays of the sun, heat machine parts or workpieces
exposed to them, considerably more on the side facing the source of the heat than on side facing
away from it.
7-115
Therefore, all direct radiation must be avoided. Where this does not appear to be possible, the
machine can and must be protected from direct exposure by partitions.
A job done on a machine "distorted" by the varying action of heat is never satisfactory.
7.4 Machine serial number
The serial number for the AWEA machine is stamped on plate "A", Figure 1, attached to the right
side of the column of the machine.
EA Machine serial number
Figure 7.1
Machine name plate
This serial number should be included in all correspondence regarding this machine. There is
some information regarding the features of the machine attached to the hydraulic tank that is
located at the rear side of the tool magazine.
W
7.5 CNC control serial number
The serial number for the FANUC control is stamped on plate "B" attached to the CNC
enclosure at the inside of machine. This serial number should be included in all correspondence
regarding this control.
The serial number can be found in the data sheet which is provided by FANUC LTD., or
transferred by manufacturer.
A
7.6 Choosing the final location
As already pointed out in the previous chapter, certain things have to be considered when
selecting a location for your new precision machine.
The most important points are summarized below:

* with windows facing North.
* with good lighting, preferably indirect.
* with a constant temperature of 22-25 deg. Celsius (68 deg. F).
* with considerably fluctuating humidity of 75% or below.
7-116
* with screened radiators.

* with a solid, vibration-free floor.
* without heavy machine tools in the immediate vicinity. (such as press machine )
* without soft and weak ground.
If you make sufficient allowance for all these points, you will already be doing a lot toward
eliminating inaccuracies in future manufacture, that is to say, inaccuracies outside the control of
the operator.
Therefore, it is in your best interest to select and prepare the best possible location for your new
machine.
Even a small structural alteration or a regrouping of your machines may, in the long run, prove to
be the more economical solution.
EA
NOTE: 1.
2.
If the machine is to be installed near a vibration source, provide a vibration
insulation pit around the machine foundation.
If the soil is not strong enough, reinforce the soil by driving piles to avoid
settlement and inclination of the soil after machine installation.
7.7 Foundation for machine
The AWEA's Machine has a very firm body supported with several foundation bolts. It should
operate with the need of a special foundation. A substantial concrete floor, flatness within 3 mm
and of sufficient strength to support machine properly is satisfactory (about four times of weight
of the machine).
W
Do not locate the machine near equipment that causes vibration which can transmit to the
machine. Poor work or damage to the controls may result.
If you don't have substantial concrete foundation by anchor bolt which as we suggested, it is the
best way to fit the machine by the execution of dry anchor (shown as illustrated). If neither of the
executions is applied for foundation, the machine will render vibrations and may move when
operated.
Conditions for achieving the guaranteed machining precision:

1. Install the machine on a firm base away from source of vibration

7.11 Earth ground
In general, the following is two requirements for system grounding:
1. To assure that all voltages have the same reference base and that voltage potential, in the
event of circuit shorts or other malfunctions, is limited. This is accomplished by having a
neutral reference wire common to all voltage sources within the system.
EA
2. To minimize the exposure to personnel shocks in the event of circuit shorts or other
malfunctions. This is accomplished by establishing a low impedance path to ground (earth)
and also between the equipment enclosure and other material parts of the system.
Since safety requirements vary with locality, consult local codes which will take precedence over
the following guidelines. These guidelines are based on the following reference: U.S. National
Electrical Code 1975.
Earth ground connections in their order of effectiveness are as follows:
1. Effectiveness of continuous water pipe when properly buried will depend on condition of
soil. When installed below permanent moisture level, the impedance of this type ground is
typically below 3 Ohms.
2. Effectiveness of man-made, driven or buried electrodes will depend on condition of soil.
W
When installed below permanent moisture level, the impedance of this type ground is
typically below 5 Ohms.
3. Other available electrodes, such as metal frames of buildings or metal well casings must be
well chosen, since they are substantially below 25 Ohms.
Ground connections, wire, and electrodes should not exceed 5 Ohms, as measured from the
equipment ground stud through the primary electrode, through earth, to another independent
electrode, separated by 600 cm of earth. Additional ground should be installed when necessary to
insure that the impedance does not exceed 5 OHMS. The Ohm measurement should be made in
A
terms of a voltage-current relation, such as the current of a 120 Volt, 100 Watt lamp bulb.
The ground conductor connecting the ground stud to the chosen electrode should be of braid or
welding cable. Braid or welding cable minimizes the resistance at higher frequencies.
When longer lengths are required, use a larger size cable, so that the resistance of the cable is less
than 0.075 Ohms. In general, the size must be rated to carry peak short-circuited current for
maximum time duration without degrading the ground system, and must withstand any
mechanical abuse to which it may be exposed.
Interconnect all separate enclosures, control station, pendant stations, conduits, and the like, to
implement and maintain safe ground continuity throughout all metallic components of the system.
This is always considered good practice and a locally regulated requirement.

7-124
7.12 System grounding
DANGER
IMPORTANT: Improper grounding of the AWEA machines could result in damage to the
control and severe electrical shock to personnel in the event of an electrical fault.
A proper grounding arrangement prevents equipment damage and personnel injury caused by an
electrical fault such as a short circuit. To accomplish this, the grounding setup must assure that
all voltages have the same reference base and that, in the event of an electrical fault, the voltage
potential is limited.
EA
The International Electrical Code recommends that:
The path to ground from circuits, equipment and conductor enclosures shall:
a) be permanent and continuous;
b) have capacity to conduct safely the fault current likely to be imposed on it, and
c) have sufficiently low impedance to limit the voltage to ground and to facilitate the
operation of the circuit protective devices in the circuit.
On the AWEA machine, all electrical circuits and all non-circuit-carrying metal parts of the
control and the machine tool are interconnected by a series of ground wires attached to the
machine ground terminal strip in the power case. A single ground wire leads from terminal strip
to grounding screw.
To establish an earth ground, the electrode which is an eight foot long, 5/8" round copper
covered steel rod, must be driven into the ground to a depth of eight feet. If rock bottom is
W
encountered at a depth of less than four feet, the electrode may be buried horizontally in a trench.
7.13 Power requirement
If power capacity in your shop is insufficient for the machine, it will cause unexpected troubles
on machine functions and further, result in shorter service life of electrical components. In
addition to these problems, insufficient power capacity might result in hazardous conditions of
A
machine operation. Therefore, great care should be taken on power facilities in your shop so that
the machine can be operated under rated power conditions.
Power requirement:
Spindle drive motor .........................................................................................25 kVA
NC unit ..............................................................................................................1 kVA
Servo motors and control circuitry.................................................................... 18 kVA
Total required power ( standard ) .................................................................... 44 kVA
Cable section area
Power supply cable......................................................................................... 38 mm^2
Main grounding cable..................................................................................... 14 mm^2
(supply power is assumed to be AC 220 V, 3 phase )
Allowable voltage variation
7-125
Since the voltage variation exceeding the range between + 10% and - 15% may cause the
machine to malfunction adjust it to the allowable voltage variation.
7.14 Cleaning machine
NEVER clean chip from machine with compressed air.

WARNING
Air pressure forces dirt particles and other foreign matter past seals and wipers into slides and
bearings. This reduces the life and precision of the machine.
EA
After machine has been properly located and leveled, remove all shipping grease, oil and dirt
accumulated in transit. Use a cloth or brush with a good grade of oil-base grease solvent to clean
the machine.
Insert the corner of a sheet of paper or 0.1 mm plastic shim between headstock front cap and
spindle. Run paper completely around spindle to remove shipping grease. If this grease is not
removed, spindle may run hot.
Do not use benzene, leaded gasoline, acetone or chlorinated solvents to clean transparent guards.
Take care so that the cleaning oil does not enter through the wiper while cleaning.
