-drive over the mat with a vehicle of any kind.

2-3 COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTIONS


Caution: The operations described below must be carried out by suitably skilled personnel.
Ensure that the compressed air supply line is free of condensate, burnt oil residues, scaling and solid impurities.
To compensate for any pressure losses on the main supply line, use pipes and hoses which have an internal diameter
of at least 10 mm and a pressure of at least 6.5 bar and no more than 8 bar. Where higher pressures are required, this
is indicated on the rating plate (T).

Connect the mains supply to the hose adapter (A) using a 16 mm inner diameter hose and a Jubilee clip.

Open the main valve slowly to allow the machine mechanisms to move and settle in their positions. Check that the
pressure on the gauge (B) is at least 6.5 bar.
If necessary, adjust the pressure using the knob (C).

Excessive accumulations of condensate in the circuit can cause compressed air equipment to malfunction. To prevent
excessive accumulation of condensate ensure that temperature of the compressed air does not exceed 25-30°C.
Compressed air temperature can be controlled by fitting compensation tanks to the compressor.

To switch the compressed air supply on and off, use the padlocked valve (D).

To switch on the compressed air, remove the lock, push the valve (D) down and turn it clockwise.

To switch off the compressed air supply, turn the valve anticlockwise until the slot (M) in which the padlock can be
inserted appears at the top again. The system is depressurised through the silencer (G).

1) Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC, and the related reference standard CEI EN 60204-1 for electrical equipment
and for the following electrical equipment safety tests:
1.1 Protection circuit continuity test.
1.2 Insulation test.
1.3 Surge test.
1.4 Protection against residual voltage test.
1.5 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
Individual electrical cabinets also conform to the specifications of CEI EN 60439-1 for those factors not already
covered in the standard CEIEN 60204-1.
2) Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC.
3) Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC and subsequent amendment 93/68/EEC.
SCM GROUP S.p.A. guarantees that the machine conforms to the above standards.

Point 1.5 (EMC), the reference standards are as follows:


Emission: 1.5.1 EN 55011 for EMC in industrial environments.
1.5.2 EN 55014 for radio disturbance characteristic of electric motors.
1.5.3 EN 50081-1 Emissions for residential, commercial and light industry environments.
1.5.4 EN 50081-2 Emissions for industrial environments.
Immunity: 1.5.5 ENV 50140 EMC for immunity to radiated interference (>30 MHz)
1.5.6 ENIV 50141 EMC for immunity to conducted interference (150 KHz - 30 MHz )
1.5.7 EN 61000-4 Methods and tests for measuring immunity.
1.5.8 EN 50082-1 immunity for residential environments.
1.5.9 EN 50082-2 immunity for industrial environments.
The EMC filter is fitted to contain the interference conducted on the mains power line and to attenuate interference
caused by connection and radiancy of the power cable.
Relative to the nature and purpose of the machine tool in question, the curve (frequency trend of conducted interference)
which must be respected is that relative to class A, where:

Environment type A: industrial environment not connected to a domestic power supply network.
Class A curve: for fixed industrial equipment not connected to mains power supply networks of residential areas.
Environment type B: domestic or industrial environment directly connected to power supplies for domestic environments.
Class B curve: for equipment directly connected to a residential power supply network.
(see figure for reference curves, 150 KHz - 30 MHz).

b) Electrical connections, earthing


N.B.: Connection to the mains and subsequent electrical testing must be carried out by a qualified electrician
only. Use the circuit diagram supplied with the machine.

To ensure optimum working conditions, the mains power supply voltage must match the machine voltage shown on the
machine rating plate (T) inside the electrical cabinet (tolerance ± 5%).

Use the table below to select the cable section to be used for the power supply line.
The table also shows the values of the fuses to be fitted upstream of the machine. Fuses must be supplied and fitted
by the user.

Installation of a cut-out switch upstream on the power line requires a separate description.

Firstly, the difference between electrical hazards involving “Direct contact” and electrical hazards involving “Indirect
contact” must be made clear.

a) Direct: contact between a person and live wires or parts during normal operation.
Suitable protection in the form of insulation and/or purpose-built barriers is sufficient.

b) Indirect: contact between a person and a live metal mass due to a fault in the insulation. The power supply must be
cut off automatically. All metal masses must be connected to power supply protection and cut-out
equipotential circuits using automatic devices.
In case a) the use of a cut-out switch with a rated cut-out current not higher than 30 mA is approved only as additional
protection against direct contact. This provides additional but not complete protection. This device will not prevent
accidents where the other protective measures fail or where the user is negligent.

In case b) the use of cut-out devices on circuits without earth wires does not provide sufficient protection against indirect
contact even where the rated cut-out current is less than 30 mA. The use of this type of cut-out device only provides
protection against indirect contact where the earthing is very poor.

A cut-out switch triggering at 30 mA is not therefore expressly required. ( Reference standards IEC 64-8 ,
IEC 364 , EN 61008-1 , EN 61009-1 , IEC 755 ).
This type of cut-out switch is typical of those used in domestic environments (or industrial environments, directly
connected to the power supply used for domestic environments).

In the case of machine tools, protection against indirect contacts using cut-out switches triggered at 300 mA
are recommended; this type of device should be used in conjunction with a plant earth circuit.

Users should however take into account the following factor. The machine electrical system uses high frequency
converters, and/or uninterruptible power supply units (UPS). In general these devices cause immunity problems for
conventional cut-out switches (rated for 50 Hz sinusoidal currents) and may trigger the cut-out at the wrong setting or,
worse still, fail to trigger it altogether.

DE_GB2 2.9
RECORD 240 TV
INSTALLATION

Standard IEC 64 specifies three categories of cut-out switch:


type AC conventional for sinusoidal currents
type A also for pulsed currents
type B combines the features of the other two with continuous-type components.

Type B cut-out switches are recommended for converters, UPS units and, therefore, for our machines. Type B
cut-outs protect against indirect contact by automatically cutting off the power supply in the presence of fault currents
to earth, even where these are low.

The use of filters to protect against high frequency electromagnetic interference helps to ensure the efficient operation
of the recommended type of cut-out switch. However, the fault current (leakage) to earth must be controlled.
SCM GROUP S.p.A. machines are equipped with such filters (section a), in which the value of the leakage current is
already at a minimum (< 10 mA).

It is best to carefully study the architecture (consult a specialist) of the machine power supply system, using a variety
of selective protective devices, adjusting both the level and time at which they are triggered, so that operation is not
interrupted and the effectiveness of the protection is not compromised.

Note:
For power supply ratings other than 400 V, the machine must be fitted with an autotransformer (K).
The autotransformer converts these power ratings to the 400 Volts necessary for efficient machine operation.
On machines fitted with autotransformers, select the power cable section on the basis of the current absorbed by
the autotransformer.
WARNING:
On machines fitted with an autotransformer, the user is responsible for fitting fuses and other forms of
protection upstream on the power line.
The autotransformers supplied by SCM GROUP S.p.A. have a “neutral” socket

The yellow-green earth cable must have the same section as the power cable wires and must comply with the current
safety regulations of the country where the machine is installed.

Before you connect up the machine, switch off the mains power supply. Check that there is no power present on
the line.
N.B.: The mains power line must have a “neutral”.

Connect the line wires to the terminal block (M) of the main switch (V) Connect the line wires to the terminal block (M)
of the main switch (V)
Attach the yellow/green earth cable to the earth connection marked PE
The cables must be passed through the cable way (P) into the cabinet.

When you have completed all connections:


a) Check that the electronic cards are correctly fitted in their sockets.
b) Close the electrical cabinet door.
c) Switch ON the mains power supply.
d) Turn the main switch (V) to the “I” (ON) position.
N.B. Do not operate the tool changer until you have checked that the mains power supply connection has
been correctly made.
e) Turn the vacuum pump selector switch to the “I” (ON) position and check that the vacuum pump rotates in the
direction shown by the arrow (F) (see the pump instruction manual).
If the pump does not rotate in the correct direction, switch OFF the machine and turn OFF the mains power supply.
Invert two of the three phase wires R, S and T on the terminal block (M).

The tool on the machining head is fitted with an extractor hood (A).
Connect your mains sawdust/shaving extractor system to the outlet (B) using a flexible hose with an internal diameter
which is the same as the external diameter (150 mm) of the outlet. The extractor hose must be long enough to enable
full travel of the head on the Z axis.
When present, the auxiliary unit suction hoods (tubes C) must be connected to a tube (B) and then to the centralised
system.
Any plastic hoses used must be fireproof.

The sawdust/shaving extractor system must guarantee a flow rate (with the hood up and flow rate tested close to the
spindle) of at least 25 m/s and a vacuum of 300 mbar.
These values must be checked before you start machining.

If the main sawdust/shaving extractor system is connected to other machines, check the flow rate with all the other
machines running.

N.B. Correct extraction efficient machine operation and prevents damage caused by overheating. It also eliminates
the risk of inhaling sawdust and guarantees safe machining conditions for the operator.
Once a week, check the efficiency of the sawdust/shaving extractor system.

Other factors which reduce sawdust emissions are:


- regular maintenance of the tools, the machine and the extractor system
- correct cutting speed and feed speed
- correct adjustment of hoods, guards, diverters.

3-2 USING THE OPERATOR INTERFACE ON THE PC


The introduction of the PC to borers-routers enables the operator to control the machine from a special operator
interface, designed and configured to facilitate and speed up machine use and programming.

The operator interface enables direct control of the machine logic (PLC) from the PC. The interface functions have been
designed to make full use of the machines potential without endangering safety in any way.

The use of a PC has enabled the introduction of a totally ‘open’ system for machine control. Unfortunately this
development has opened the way for third-party program developers who have little knowledge of the principles of
machine control and machinery safety.

Given this situation, SCM Group S.p.A. would like you to note the following:

1) Dealers, retailers or branches in general are not authorised to install or in any way promote the
installation of an operator interface not approved by SCM Group S.p.A.

2) SCM Group Spa declines all responsibility for machines equipped with operator interfaces other than
those authorised and installed by SCM.

Positioning the mobile bars
With selector (H) turned to the “released” position, hold down pushbutton (A) to move the bar to the position required.
When you release button (A), the pneumatic cylinder (B) locks the bar again.

Positioning the clamps


Hold down lever (C) to move the clamp along the bar.

N.B. Ensure that there are no sawdust or shavings between the guide sliding surface (G) and the clamp reference
(F), to obtain an optimum workpiece reference plane.

For special machining, it may be necessary to rest the clamps on the reference pins (L): these can be made to project
from the part of the bar upon which the clamp is fixed by simply pushing the ends until they touch the bar.

Positioning the suction cups


To enable the suction cups (V) to be moved along the bar, turn the selector switch (H) to the “RELEASE” position.

3-4 WORKPIECE HOLD-DOWN SYSTEM


a) Using clamps
The sequence of the steps depends on the type of workpiece being machined: the user must optimise it for the machining
cycle to be carried out.

a) Manually position the mobile bars and clamps, according to the size of the workpiece, as described in section 3-3.

b) move the selector (T) to the “release” position to lift the clamp plates (P) and position the workpiece in the machining
position. Assuming that for the first machining operation the clamps are commanded by (T1).

c) lock the workpiece with “low pressure” turning the selector (T1) to the “locked” position.

d) if necessary, adjust the position of the mobile bars and clamps: release the individual clamps using the relative
selector (S), and position it holding down the lever (C); release the bar by holding down the pushbutton (A).

e) When the optimum position is obtained, lock the workpiece by turning the selector (S).
N.B. If necessary, repeat steps d) and e) for each crossbeam and each clamp used.

f) At this point, you can turn the selector (H) to the “lock” position to definitively lock the workpiece with high pressure.
If a machining program was previously selected, press illuminated push-button (R) to start the program.

g) after the machining, turn the selector (H) to “release” to:


1) definitively release the workpiece using the selector (T1) or:

2) -turn the selector (T2) to the “release” position to lift the rear clamps and move them up to the machined side of
the workpiece. Finally, lock the again with (T2).
-If necessary, repeat points d) and e) to obtain a perfect positioning.
-turn the selector(T1) to the “release” position to lift the front clamps, used for the previous machining operation,
and move them away from the new machining area.
-turn the selector (H) to the “lock” position to definitively lock the workpiece with “high pressure” before carrying
out the second machining process.

N.B. Simultaneous or successive use of the “front” and “rear” clamps depends on the characteristics of the
workpiece and the machining to be carried out: the following are some examples of workpiece locking.

b) using “Duomatic” clamps


For complete machining (butting and profiling on 4 faces) “in automatic mode” for an upright.
Use and programming are described in the “Routolink” manual.

Setting
N.B.:
1) The rear clamps (A fig.a) activated using the selector (T2) are used as “workpiece references”: their position is
established during machine testing and must never be modified.

2) The workpiece being machined must always be blocked with at least 2 clamps.

The position of the front clamps (B) and the central supports (C) must be adjusted accounting for the width of the
workpiece being machined and of the profile required. To reset the auxiliary circuits:
a) Switch off the power and compressed air supplies.

b) -loosen the screw (Q) to position the support (C) beneath the half way line of the workpiece being machined.
Tighten (Q).
-loosen the 2 “set screws” (D) to move the pneumatic cylinder (E) to about 2 mm from the workpiece. Tighten the
set screws again (D).

c) depending on the profile of the workpiece after the first machining operation (fig. b shows an example) adjust the
travel of the tabs (F fig. a) so that they have a sufficient grip on the workpiece to hold it firmly in position and, do
not interfere with one another during automatic machining.
For the adjustment, loosen the screws (G) and move the upper part of the clamp (A or B) reading the position
directly on the millimeter gauge (N) to establish the exact protrusion of the tab (F).

Control panel
The controls on the fixed crossbeam, are the same as those used for the standard pneumatic clamps.
The pedal (P) is used, instead of the selector (T2), to lock the workpieces (with low pressure) during their positioning.

c) Vacuum hold-down system


The vacuum hold-down system is divided into two separate circuits. This enables pendulum operation of the machine,
that is, one side of the table can be loaded ready for the next cycle while the other side is machining.
This system consists of:
- vacuum pump (P). The knob (M) (where fitted) is used to adjust the vacuum setting. For instructions, see the manual

- digital vacuum regulators (E): see the instruction manual for this unit.

The vacuum gauges (E) have two functions.


a) They inform the CNC when the vacuum set-point value is reached; the green LED lights up to indicate this condition
b) They stop the machine if the vacuum drops below the set-point value.

On the fixed crossbeam, the stop (B) is oriented as a reference along the “X” axis (fig. a).
On the mobile crossbeams, as a reference along the “Y” axis (fig. a).
They are enabled and disabled by the CNC unit, in the “part program”.

Adjustments: all settings are carried out during approval testing. Do not tamper with the settings.

Maintenance: the unit has “long life” lubrication and does not require any maintenance.

3-6 ELEVATOR UNIT


It is used when you have to machine (and, therefore, load and unload) heavy workpieces.
Driven by a pneumatic cylinder, controlled by the NC using a solenoid valve, if the M code has been entered, every
lifting unit can lift a maximum load of 20 kg by 10 mm.

It can have 2 positions:


a) standby position, 30 mm below the suction cup/clamp surface.
b) 10 mm above the suction cup/clamp surface in the load/unload position.

The units are positioned during machine approval testing. They can be removed or moved (to the other side of the
crossbeam or to another crossbeam) by disconnecting the tubes (N) and loosening the knobs (M).

3-8 MAIN MACHINING UNIT


The main components are:

1) An A.C. electro-spindle (L) designed to operate at high speed.


N.B. The electro-spindle is a high-speed precision mechanism and must be treated as such during machining and
when fitting tools. Careful use will ensure long machine life.

2) A static frequency inverter (M). This enables stepless speed changes.

Set the spindle speed using the related S code from the list supplied with the machine, and entering this code in the part
program.

USE - ADJUSTMENT

3-9 FITTING TOOLS


To ensure efficient operation and a long working life of the electro-spindle, observe the following basic precautions:
a) Always use well balanced tools (balance level: 2 mm/sec at 18000 rpm): unbalanced tools cause vibrations which
will damage the spindle bearings.
Tools must conform to EN 847-1 standards. Tools should be clearly marked with the maker’s name and the
permitted number of rpm for the tool. Tools which do not meet these standards must not be used.
b) Before fitting a tool, thoroughly clean the contact surfaces between the tool and the spindle using a soft cloth. (DO
NOT USE EMERY CLOTH!) Remove all traces of oil and ensure that the contact surfaces are not marked. This
will ensure good tool centring and thus reduce imbalance and vibration to the minimum.
c) Do not use force when fitting or removing a tool. Do not attempt to release the tool by knocking the spindle or the
tool spanner with a hammer. This can break the tool and cause irreparable damage to the bearings.
d) When you have finished using a tool, clean and oil the shank and threads and then store the tool in its container.
e) Always use cutting speeds, feed speeds, tool lengths and diameters which match the current machining operation.
N.B. Permitted operating speeds are marked on the tools. Do not exceed these limits.

The electrospindle is fitted with a tool taper clamping unit which conforms to DIN 69893 standard. A spring-loaded
tie-rod inside the spindle ensures a perfect clamping fit between the tapers and thus ensures full transmission of all motor
power to the tool.
Special micro-switches inform the CNC of the safe hold-down of the tool holder, the release (of the tool holder) and
if the electro-spindle is stopped or is use: if this information is not present or the values are incorrect, the “machining cycle”
is stopped.
An air jet inside the spindle shaft keeps the tool taper and the collet clean during the clamping.
The CNC is programmed to only permit starting of the spindle when the tool holder is connected correctly: if this is not
the case, a CNC message informs the Operator.
N.B. The tool must NOT be fitted to the tool-holder taper on the machine.
Fit the tool to the tool taper at the work bench; proceed as follows:
a) Insert the collet (A) in the ring nut (B). Turn the collet so that the eccentric ring (E) engages with the groove (S);
the ring (E) acts as an extractor.
The collet diameter must be the same or slightly less than the diameter of the tool shank. e.g. tool shank Ø20 ->
collet 19-20.
N.B. Check at the end of this step that the two lower faces are parallel and that the collet projects slightly from the
ring nut.
If this is not the case, the tool fitting will be insecure.
b) Tighten the ring nut on the tool taper until it begins to grip the collet.
Insert the tool and tighten fully using the spanners (F and G).
N.B. Always keep a tool-holder taper on the electrospindle because:
1) The tool holder taper keeps shavings and sawdust out of the spindle.
2) Turning the electrospindle without a tool holder taper will damage it.

the machining program.

If you want to enter special hood positions in the machining program, enter the special measurement “E” for the gap H
(fig. a) used for referencing the tools.
Then lower the hood by 100 mm, that is: 100 mm from H.

To move the hood to its highest position, enter “E - 0” in the program.

3-11 CHANGING THE TOOL IN THE MANUAL MODE


N.B. First, ensure that the tool has not penetrated the workpiece being machined.
If the tool has penetrated the workpiece, remove it by moving the axes in the manual mode.

Move the X axis fully to the left (close to the guard) and proceed as follows:
1) with the “SETUP” selector (S) turned to “AUTOMATIC” “ ” (NC keyboard ON), enter the code M51 in
MDI (IMPORTANT: CHECK THE MACHINE CODE LIST!).Next, press the ENTER key on the keyboard
and then the START key on the mobile control panel.

5) Resume normal machine use.
N.B. To change the tool again, repeat the entire procedure.
N.B.: This procedure can only be carried out by hand. It can therefore also be used to change the tool on
the additional vertical spindle.

3-12 RAPID 12 (STD) TOOL CHANGE DEVICE


The tool changer changes tools automatically and rapidly, thus considerably reducing down-time.
The tool changer has a circular tool magazine (A) which rotates and presents the tools to the spindle one at a time as
required. It may contain up to 12 tools with a maximum diameter (including the angle drives ) of 160 mm.
The angle drives may be fitted in any of the 12 locations.
The tool change cycle is controlled by a CNC program.

Automatic control of tools greater than 160 mm in diameter is possible only with Tool Room (see relevant section of
this manual). In this case, collisions between the magazine and the upright or the auxiliary unit are prevented by the
machine control program.

Tool change cycle


- The CNC identifies the magazine location for the tool to be removed from the spindle; the motor (D) rotates the
magazine to this position.
- The pneumatic cylinder (B) moves the magazine towards the spindle. The magazine gripper engages the tool taper.
- On a command from the CNC, the tool is released and the head unit travels upwards to release the tool from the
spindle.
- The magazine rotates until it finds the location of the new tool to be fitted. The head unit then travels downwards
to insert the new tool taper into the spindle.
- The tool is clamped inside the spindle. The magazine grippers are released and the magazine retracts to its home
position.

N.B.:
The CNC stores the number of the tool currently fitted to the spindle. This number is up-dated at each automatic tool
change.
The machine will not carry out a tool change cycle under the following circumstances:
-if the machine zeroing cycle has not be completed.
-if the tool requested on the CNC is already fitted to the spindle.

During operations in the manual mode the tool number stored on the CNC will not be up-dated. When you return to
the automatic mode after a manual operation, it is advisable to check that the tool number stored to the CNC memory
corresponds to the tool fitted to the spindle.

To display the magazine position and the tools stored on the CNC, to modify tools stored to memory, to
display error messages and for troubleshooting instructions, see the CNC documentation supplied.

The extractor hood over the tool, the front/side guard (A) and the side guard (B) prevent splinters and shavings from
hitting the operator during machining. These safety devices cordon off the area which must not be accessed while the
spindle is moving.
The bumpers (E) are fitted with microswitches (M) which trigger and stop the machine whenever the bumpers are
knocked or pressed. Similarly, the micro-switch located under the front guard door (A) will trigger if the door is lifted
and opened when the machine is operating.
Perimeter guards When the side door (P) is opened the microswitch (N) is triggered and switches the machine to an
emergency condition.
Before commencing any maintenance or cleaning operations inside the guard covers,
move the selector (S) to “ ” (“MANUAL”) and then carry the mobile control panel with you to operate the machine.
In this way you will have exclusive control of the machine.
If the door is accidentally closed while the operator is inside the guard (without the mobile control panel) he/she can still
stop the machine by pulling the cord (R): this trips the microswitch (Q) which stops the machine in emergency mode.

Caution! the unit contains high power batteries which can generate high voltages even when the unit is
switched off and the power is lead unplugged.
- UPS internal maintenance must be carried out by expert personnel only.
- The unit cannot function without an earth connection.
Keep the UPS dry and clean. Do not allow liquids or dirt to enter the unit. Keep the unit out of direct sunlight and
away from sources of heat. This will prevent overheating which can lead to UPS stoppage.
- Do not connect laser printers to the unit sockets: the high currents produced may damage it.
- Batteries must be substituted by expert personnel only.
Old batteries must be delivered to a qualified battery recycling and disposal service centre. Old batteries are
classified as toxic waste.
- Do not throw the batteries onto a fire: they may explode.
- Do not open, tamper with or damage batteries. Battery electrolyte is corrosive and toxic. Avoid contact with
eyes and skin. Batteries do not require maintenance.
- In the event of a short circuit, a battery may produce high level currents. The following precautions can prevent
short-circuits.
1. remove any watches, rings and other metal objects,
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Do not leave tools or metal components on the battery cover.
- The only UPS components which require periodic checks are:
-fans: at regular intervals, check efficiency and clean.
-batteries: change the batteries when instructed to do so by the message on the UPS display or when indicated
in the UPS manual.
- The UPS complies with standards regarding electromagnetic compatibility in residential and industrial environments.
It generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, unless installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may interfere with radio communications.

- Battery life is linked to the operating temperature and the number of charging and discharging cycles performed. Battery
life normally varies from 3 to 5 years if used at 20°C; it is halved at an operating temperature of 40°C.

- Battery capacity is not constant: it increases after several full charging and discharging cycles, remains constant for
100 to 200 cycles and then begins to decline.

- If the UPS autonomy falls below the rated level, change the batteries. The batteries can be changed ‘hot’, i.e. when
the UPS is in operation.

Batteries must be changed when: the red BATTERY LOW LED flashes continuously, the buzzer sounds continuously
and the message CHARGE NOT INCREASING appears on the UPS display (for further details, see the UPS manual).

AIR CONDITIONING UNIT FOR ELECTRICAL CONTROL UNIT
MODEL KUR09.01.CAB - KELVIN

General
The following notes supplement those in the manual supplied with the unit.
Therefore, please read all of the instructions before starting the device
and keep the manual for future reference.

The manual contains general indications, safety indications, use and


operating instructions, maintenance details, diagnostics indications and
unit technical specifications.

IMPORTANT:
ˇ Never allow unqualified persons to handle, inspect or tamper with the unit.
ˇ Do not force operation by jumpering (bypassing) the electrical safety devices.
ˇ Ensure that you have powered down the unit before carrying out any inspections, maintenance/repairs or cleaning.
ˇ Do not try to repair the refrigeration circuit unless a specialist (refrigerator technician) is present. In contact with
a naked flame, refrigeration gas becomes toxic and highly dangerous.
ˇ For maintenance/repairs or spare parts, if possible contact KELVIN service centres directly, or "Refrigerator
technicians" only. Only use original spare parts, available directly from KELVIN or through SCM.
ˇ Only use the air conditioner for cooling electrical cabinets.
ˇ Do not use the air conditioner with the doors open, as this may cause an excessive build up of condensation. To
prevent this problem, a microswitch is fitted which cuts power to the air conditioner when the doors are open. Do
not disable this microswitch.
ˇ Do not use the air conditioner if the condensation drainage tube is blocked or the condensation is not flowing out
correctly.
ˇ Do not use the unit without the cover panels.
ˇ The air conditioner factory setting is 35°C. Do not alter this adjustment and, in any event, never set the thermostat
to values below 25 °C, to prevent dangerous condensation build up on (cold) internal components if the doors are
opened.
ˇ Refrigeration systems must be decommissioned by specialists, due to the presence of pressurised gases. Collect
the refrigerator gas in liquid form and hand it over to an authorised centre for disposal.
ˇ KELVIN only uses non-toxic gases with low (or no) O.D.P. (ozone depletion potential).
ˇ Never clean any unit components with acids or caustic substances.

7
UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY UNIT

For correct and lasting unit operation, carry out the routine maintenance at regular intervals:

1) The refrigeration circuit is sealed and does not require any maintenance.

2) Periodically clean the condensing battery with a jet of compressed air, taking care not to damage or bend the
aluminium tabs.

3) Periodically clean the polyurethane air filter with a jet of compressed air. If necessary, substitute it with original spare
parts or with others which have equivalent "diameter".

4) Periodically clean the fans with a jet of compressed air.

5) Periodically check that the air conditioner condensation drainage tube is not blocked.

IMPORTANT: the presence of a yellow warning lamp, if lit, indicates that you must clean the air filter (see point 3
above). When the lamp lights up air conditioner operation is not interrupted, but continued use with the lamp lit may,
in the long term, compromise correct operation.

Routine maintenance intervals depend on the type of environment in which you work. They may vary from a minimum
of 3 months to a maximum, in particularly dusty environments, of "daily" maintenance.

TOOL ROOM

MAGAZINEMANAGEMENT
In order to manage a RANDOM type tool configuration, you must enter the characteristics of all tools
present in the magazine in the TOOL TABLE of the Routolink interface.

N.B. For instructions and information about the table editor, see the ROUTOLINK manual (version 5.0
or higher). The following notes are intended as a guide only.

The TOOL CHANGE OPTIMISER MODULE (featured only if the machine has Tool Room) is designed to optimise
the tools used in the part program according to their diameter and current position on the Rapid (10 or 12, magazine
A) or on Tool Room (magazine E) and in such a way as to also avoid collisions between them.
The Module is unnecessary if only magazine (A) is fitted since the tools are arranged manually by the operator according
to diameter only.

TOOL CHANGE OPTIMISER


MODULE

The software is an integral part of the SCM Routolink interface for controlling CNC routers and borers.
It can be installed, as Routolink module, only on machines equipped with Tool Room.

Main features
1) Before performing a machining cycle, the software that all the tools required for the work to be done are present on
the machine (on the spindle, on the Rapid or on Tool Room) .

2) It removes any obstacles that might prevent a tool from being fitted on any of the grippers on the Rapid.
The new system incorporates various rules for preventing collision between the tools on the Rapid and on Tool Room.
This means any tool can be placed on any gripper of the Rapid.

3) It automatically fills the Rapid with all the tool required for the machining cycle to be carried out. If the Rapid cannot
contain all the tools required, automatic filling is carried out two or more times.

Operating mode
The tool change program can operate both in Automatic and in MDI modes.

Tooling the magazines (A) and (E)


All the tools available must be loaded manually into the magazines in completely Random manner until all the locations
are filled. Check each tool to ensure that it does bot collide with the adjacent tools.
Note. Remember that the Routolink tool table must exactly reflect the arrangement of the tools in the
magazines (A) and (E).
Do not load any tool manually onto the electro-spindle.

9
TOOL ROOM

When the first part program starts, the Optimiser Module automatically transfers to the Rapid as many of the tools to
be used as possible.
If the part program requires more tools than the Rapid can contain, the Optimiser Module unloads those that are no
longer necessary and loads the remaining tools required.

The procedure automatically controls, the exchange of tools between the magazine (A) and the magazine (E) according
to size (see RoutolinkNCI.cfg file).

Tool data are defined during tooling (see the Routolink manual for details). Assigning a length and a radius to a tool
automatically classifies the tool according to the rules described above.

N.B. 1) The table must be updated each time a tool is moved manually.
2) The table entries must always match the tools mounted on the magazine in order to prevent tool
collisions during machining.

Tool table management


1) To call up and modify the tool table from the Routolink MAIN MENU (fig. 1), press function key F6 (CNC MDI
mode).
In all other modes, the tool table is ‘read only’ and can only be displayed.

Select the MDI mode. Then, to access the tool table press “Shift+F5” (fig. 2). The table has two parts:
1- Left-hand table, which refers to tools in magazine (A) (RAPID 12).
2- Right-hand table, which refers to tools in the additional magazine (E) on ‘n’ circular racks, each with 12 positions.
the function key F8 can be used to view the other tool racks .

To delete the tool table, use function key F4.

Deletion of a tool table must be confirmed using function key F6.

To enable table editing, press function key F5.

At this point you can if you wish load new tools to the table using the Tool Location field.
Click on any Tool Location to open the window showing the tools that can be loaded into that location (previously
configured in the tooling stage: see Routolink manual). .

When you have finished editing the table, save the changes using function key F6.

Press the ESC key to return to the previous page and then to MDI mode.

inverter enables variable speeds to be set for the spindles. Spindle
speed is set by entering an S code in the part program (see the list
of codes supplied with the machine).

VECTOR
Vector power drives fitted to Universal and Blade units control the
positioning of these units only and cannot be used for interpolated
machining.

TOOL CHANGE IN MASKED TIME


From version 6.0 of Routolink, auxiliary units on the main electrospindle (e.g. Universal unit K1/K2, blade unit, boring
unit) can be configured in the Unit-by-Unit mode if they are enabled for operation during masked time (i.e. the auxiliary
unit continues to operate while a tool change cycle is being run on the main electrospindle).

The unit installed in location 4 (location to the rear of the machine carriage) can only operate in tool change masked time
if it is of one of the following types:
- Auxiliary units present in location 4, enabled for masked time operation.
- Universal K1/K2 fixed, angled in direction Y.
- Piggy-Back (additional vertical electro-spindle)
- Rapid 12 fitted with tool with a maximum diameter less than or equal to 160 mm (The operator interface does not
