SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The machine is equipped with safety devices which serve to protect personnel and the machine itself from
hazards arising from unforeseen accidents. However, operators must not rely exclusively on these safety
devices: they must also become fully familiar with the safety guidelines presented below to ensure accident-
free operation.
This instruction manual and the warning signs attached to the machine cover only those hazards which
Okuma can predict. Be aware that they do not cover all possible hazards.

1. Precautions Relating to Installation

(1) Please be noted about a primary power supply as follows.

 Do not draw the primary power supply from a distribution panel that also supplies a major
noise source (for example, an electric welder or electric discharge machine) since this
could cause malfunction of the CNC unit.

 If possible, connect the machine to a ground not used by any other equipment. If there is
no choice but to use a common ground, the other equipment must not generate a large
amount of noise (such as an electric welder or electric discharge machine).

(2) Installation Environment

Observe the following points when installing the control enclosure.

 Make sure that the CNC unit will not be subject to direct sunlight.

 Make sure that the control enclosure will not be splashed with chips, water, or oil.

 Make sure that the control enclosure and operation panel are not subject to excessive
vibrations or shock.

 The permissible ambient temperature range for the control enclosure is 5 to 40°C.

 The permissible ambient humidity range for the control enclosure is relative humidity 50%
or less at 40°C (no condensation).

 The maximum altitude at which the control enclosure can be used is 1000 m (3281ft.).

2. Points to Check before Turning on the Power

(1) Close all the doors of the control enclosure and operation panel to prevent the entry of water,
chips, and dust.

(2) Make absolutely sure that there is nobody near the moving parts of the machine, and that there
are no obstacles around the machine, before starting machine operation.

(3) When turning on the power, turn on the main power disconnect switch first, then the CONTROL
ON switch on the operation panel.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

3. Precautions Relating to Operation

(1) After turning on the power, carry out inspection and adjustment in accordance with the daily
inspection procedure described in this instruction manual.

(2) Use tools whose dimensions and type are appropriate for the work undertaken and the machine
specifications. Do not use badly worn tools since they can cause accidents.

(3) Do not, for any reason, touch the spindle or tool while spindle indexing is in progress since the
spindle could rotate: this is dangerous.

(4) Check that the workpiece and tool are properly secured.

(5) Never touch a workpiece or tool while it is rotating: this is extremely dangerous.

(6) Do not remove chips by hand while machining is in progress since this is dangerous. Always
stop the machine first, then remove the chips with a brush or broom.

(7) Do not operate the machine with any of the safety devices removed. Do not operate the
machine with any of the covers removed unless it is necessary to do so.

(8) Always stop the machine before mounting or removing a tool.

(9) Do not approach or touch any moving part of the machine while it is operating.

(10) Do not touch any switch or button with wet hands. This is extremely dangerous.

(11) Before using any switch or button on the operation panel, check that it is the one intended.

4. Precautions Relating to the ATC

(1) The tool clamps of the magazine, spindle, etc., are designed for reliability, but it is possible that
a tool could be released and fall in the event of an unforeseen accident, exposing you to
danger: do not touch or approach the ATC mechanism during ATC operation.

(2) Always inspect and change tools in the magazine in the manual magazine interrupt mode.

(3) Remove chips adhering to the magazine at appropriate intervals since they can cause
misoperation. Do not use compressed air to remove these chips since it will only push the chips
further in.

(4) If the ATC stops during operation for some reason and it has to be inspected without turning the
power off, do not touch the ATC since it may start moving suddenly.

5. On Finishing Work
(1) On finishing work, clean the vicinity of the machine.

(2) Return the ATC, APC and other equipment to the predetermined retraction position.

(3) Always turn off the power to the machine before leaving it.

(4) To turn off the power, turn off the CONTROL ON switch on the operation panel first, then the
main power disconnect switch.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

6. Precautions during Maintenance Inspection and When

Trouble Occurs
In order to prevent unforeseen accidents, damage to the machine, etc., it is essential to observe the
following points when performing maintenance inspections or during checking when trouble has
occurred.

(1) When trouble occurs, press the emergency stop button on the operation panel to stop the
machine.

(2) Consult the person responsible for maintenance to determine what corrective measures need
to be taken.

(3) If two or more persons must work together, establish signals so that they can communicate to
confirm safety before proceeding to each new step.

(4) Use only the specified replacement parts and fuses.

(5) Always turn the power off before starting inspection or changing parts.

(6) When parts are removed during inspection or repair work, always replace them as they were
and secure them properly with their screws, etc.

(7) When carrying out inspections in which measuring instruments are used - for example voltage
checks - make sure the instrument is properly calibrated.

(8) Do not keep combustible materials or metals inside the control enclosure or terminal box.

(9) Check that cables and wires are free of damage: damaged cables and wires will cause current
leakage and electric shocks.

(10) Maintenance inside the Control Enclosure

a. Switch the main power disconnect switch OFF before opening the control enclosure door.

b. Even when the main power disconnect switch is OFF, there may some residual charge in
the MCS drive unit (servo/spindle), and for this reason only service personnel are permitted
to perform any work on this unit. Even then, they must observe the following precautions.

 MCS drive unit (servo/spindle)

The residual voltage discharges two minutes after the main switch is turned OFF.
 6064-E P-(iv)
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

c. The control enclosure contains the NC unit, and the NC unit has a printed circuit board
whose memory stores the machining programs, parameters, etc. In order to ensure that the
contents of this memory will be retained even when the power is switched off, the memory
is supplied with power by a battery. Depending on how the printed circuit boards are
handled, the contents of the memory may be destroyed and for this reason only service
personnel should handle these boards.

(11) Periodic Inspection of the Control Enclosure

a. Cleaning the cooling unit

The cooling unit in the door of the control enclosure serves to prevent excessive
temperature rise inside the control enclosure and increase the reliability of the NC unit.
Inspect the following points every three months.

 Is the fan motor inside the cooling unit working?

The motor is normal if there is a strong draft from the unit.

 Is the external air inlet blocked?

If it is blocked, clean it with compressed air.

7. General Precautions
(1) Keep the vicinity of the machine clean and tidy.

(2) Wear appropriate clothing while working, and follow the instructions of someone with sufficient
training.

(3) Make sure that your clothes and hair cannot become entangled in the machine. Machine
operators must wear safety equipment such as safety shoes and goggles.

(4) Machine operators must read the instruction manual carefully and make sure of the correct
procedure before operating the machine.

(5) Memorize the position of the emergency stop button so that you can press it immediately at any
time and from any position.

(6) Do not access the inside of the control panel, transformer, motor, etc., since they contain high-
voltage terminals and other components which are extremely dangerous.

(7) If two or more persons must work together, establish signals so that they can communicate to
confirm safety before proceeding to each new step.

SECTION 2 OPERATOR DOOR

2-2. Operator Door Interlock Function

The door interlock function permits machine operation only when the door is closed to protect an
operator from hazards generated by moving machine units.
The door interlock function is largely classified into two functions. One checks the function of the
limit switch that judges the door open/close state and the other is the interlock function that monitors
the safety of operators constantly and gives warning if a state that could cause “unsafe” to the
operators.

2-2-1. Limit Switch Checking Function Activated with the Power ON

When the power is turned on, the function checks the check input pattern of the limit switch or
proximity switch which detects the close state of the door and enables machine operation only when
the checked pattern is correct.

(1) The following alarm message is displayed if the door is closed when the power is turned on.
This alarm message is kept displayed until the door is opened to the open end position and
disappears automatically when the door reaches the open end position. If the door is at the
open end position when the power is turned on, operation transfers to the normal operation
steps.

SECTION 5 FUNCTION FOR SETTING ALLOWABLE SPINDLE SPEED FOR EACH TOOL

SECTION 5 FUNCTION FOR SETTING ALLOWABLE

SPINDLE SPEED FOR EACH TOOL

5-1. Overview
This function serves to prevent tools from rotating at a spindle speed exceeding the upper limit by
setting the maximum spindle speed for each tool.
If an S command is specified for a tool for which the maximum spindle speed has not been set, an
alarm will occur, and the S command will invalid. It is therefore necessary to set the maximum
spindle speed for all tools used for machining beforehand.

5-2. Setting the Allowable Spindle Speed for Each Tool

The allowable spindle speed for each tool is set as follows.

Procedure :

1 Press the "TOOL DATA" mode key.

The TOOL DATA screen is displayed.

[Supplement]

During the previous tool data setting mode, if switching to another mode with a screen other
than the TOOL DATA screen (TOOL OFFSET / COMPENSATION screen, etc.) occurred,
the previous screen is displayed when performing the above operation. Accordingly, press
function key [F8] (DISPLAY CHANGE), and select the TOOL DATA screen from the screen
change pop-up window.

Check the allowable spindle speed for tools used before setting the maximum spindle speed
for each tool. If the spindle rotates at a speed higher than the allowable spindle speed
because information has been entered incorrectly or due to incorrect operation, tools,
holders, or tips may fly, possibly resulting in injury or even death to operators or others in the
vicinity.

[Supplement]

1) The following error occurs if a value outside the maximum spindle speed setting range
(other than 0 to maximum spindle speed in spindle specifications) is set.
"Error 5209 Input data overflow"
With the double column series, however, setting a value greater than the maximum
spindle speed does not result in an error because the spindle speed varies for each
attachment.
2) In order to rotate the spindle, the maximum spindle speed must be set for the tool
mounted on the spindle.
