Machine Warm-up

Machine warm-up is mandatory in order to ensure smooth and proper operations of every component of the machine, and to minimize the effect of heat expansion on the machine accuracy. Lubrication After the machine is powered on, oil is automatically supplied to spindle, ballscrews, and linear guides, etc., where lubrication are needed. However, immediately after the machine is turned on, the spindle bearings are not sufficiently lubricated. In order to ensure that these parts are not damaged unintentionally, the following rules must be strictly enforced: If the machine has been turned off for less than 48 hours, do NOT turn the spindle for at least 20 minutes after the machine is powered on. If the machine has been turned off for more than 48 hours, do NOT turn the spindle for at least 40 minutes after the machine is powered on.

AVEREX Automation Co., Ltd.

67

HS-450i Operator's Manual

CAUTION

Spindle can be damaged if it is rotated before its spindle bearings are adequately lubricated.

Hydraulic Circuit To warm up of the oil in the hydraulic circuit, use the following two M functions to increase the oil temperature: M83 - When room temperature is in the range of 5C~15C (40F~60F). M84 - When room temperature is less than 5C (40F) Note The oil in the hydraulic circuit, when it is cold, has high viscosity which can cause problems in certain operations, such as spindle tool clamp/unclamp. Grease Grease also needs to be warmed up so that it can permeate the parts and the components. For example, insufficient lubrication on the clamp pins of the double arm may result in a tool chucking problem. Warm-up Procedure without using Weekly Timer Two warm-up programs, O8930 and O8931, are installed on the machine before delivery. The elapsed time since the last power-off of the machine can be used to determine which one of the two programs to execute. If the machine has been powered off for more than 48 hours, execute warmup program O8931. If the machine has been powered off for less than 48 hours, execute warm-up program O8930. The execution time for O8930 is approximately 50 minutes. The execution time for O8931 is approximately 60 minutes.

Table Clamp/Unclamp in MDI Operation

In MDI operation, M61 can be used to command the B-axis to be clamped, while M62 and M63 can be used to command the B-axis to be unclamped. M61 This is the only command to can be used for B-axis clamping. M62 When M62 is executed in MDI mode, B-axis rotary table will be unclamped; it will be automatically clamped again once B-axis completes the rotation. This Auto-clamp function in AUTO/REMOTE mode works the same way as in MDI mode. Note If B axis is stopped by Feed Hold, it will remain unclamped.

M63 M63 is a single command for B-axis unclamping. M63 doesn't execute Auto-clamp function after B-axis completes its rotation. After M63 command is executed, M61 needs to be executed in order to clamp the B-axis. M62 can be used to clamp the B-axis if it is executed in the same block as the table rotation command. Note Even if the table is unclamped by M63, machining process can still continue, although, with inferior precision. For heavy cutting or cutting accurate, make sure the table is clamped. Note In Handle mode, when Manual Pulse Generators axis selection is set to 4, pressing either B-axis Plus Feed Zero Return Pushbutton or Baxis Minus Feed pushbutton (28) causes B-axis to be unclamped. When B axis is in the unclamped state, switching into Auto mode or MDI mode will cause B-axis to be clamped again, however, switching into JOG mode or Zero Return mode, B-axis will remain unclamped.
