INSTALLATION
This operation must be carried out using a crane and metal chains or slings.
Before hoisting the machine remove all packaging material and components which were attached to the machine during
transport. Check component weight before hoisting; component weight is shown on the plate (T1).
Ensure that the lifting capacity of your hoisting equipment matches the machine weight shown on the plate (T) on the
machine base.
Use hoisting equipment with an inching function to ensure that the machine can be set down gently onto the factory floor.
Set the machine down gently; setting the machine down heavily can damage the machining head mechanisms.
Insert the tool (A) and the two tubes (B) into the holes (C) in the base and then secure them.
Use 3 belts whose length and capacity are indicated in the “X axis” stroke table.
Take the strain gradually and begin to hoist the machine. Avoid sudden hoisting movements.
Great care must be taken to avoid brusque movements which might tip the machine dangerously.
The hoisting zone must be free of persons and objects.
When the machine has been set down on the floor, detach the electrical cabinet (M).
Check the weight of the electrical cabinet on the plate (T1). Hoist the cabinet using 4 chains, 1 metre long and ready
fitted with hooks (K). Each chain must be able to support the entire weight of the electrical cabinet. Attach the hooks
to the 4 eyebolts (G). Hoist using a crane.
Take the strain gradually until the chains are taut.
Unscrew and remove the retaining bolts from the red bracket (C) holding the cabinet to the support.
Unscrew and remove the nuts (D) to release the tie rods (E) of the red cross beam (F). Hoist the cabinet. Move the
cabinet slowly, avoiding any sudden movements which could cause dangerous tipping.. Position it as shown in the
diagram in Section 1.
Next, remove all the red anchor brackets (N, F and P), the tie rods (E) and the tool (A) and the hoses (B).
N.B. Cover the holes in the machine base to prevent the entry of sawdust and shavings. The anchor bracket
bolts can be used for this purpose.

INSTALLATION
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
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.

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.

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

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.
b) Machine with additional magazine: in this case, the tool cannot be changed manually, since the tool table
in the Routolink interface does not envisage such an operation.
Proceed as follows:
4) For the next operation use thick work gloves. Grip the tool and then press the blue illuminated Tool Clamp-Release
push-button (F) to extract the taper complete with the tool from the spindle.
5) Put the new tool in the Rapid 10 magazine and update the tool table before loading the tool to the spindle in the MDI
mode, using the appropriate M code (consult the list supplied with the machine).
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.
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.

UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY UNIT
Introduction:
The following notes must be considered as an addition to the information already provided in the manual supplied with
the uninterruptible power supply unit (UPS). Read all of the instructions before operating the unit and keep this manual
for future reference.
The manual supplied with the UPS contains a description of the unit, safety instructions, operating instructions,
maintenance instructions, trouble-shooting instructions and unit technical specifications.
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.

UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY UNIT
- 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).
Press the TEST/RESET ALARM pusbutton to reset the alarm message. The red LED will however continue to flash
until the battery has been changed.
- To ensure efficient battery operation, keep the operating temperature as low as possible.
- Set of batteries supplied by Exide Electronics or SCM: 12 Volt lead battery, sealed, maintenance-free.

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.
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".
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.

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.
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.
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.

SPEED
Machines fitted with Universal units or with an additional vertical
electrospindle have a second static frequency inverter (M). The
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.
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
perform an anti-collision check in this case)

FITTING TOOLS
Caution! Before fitting or removing tools, ensure that the machine is stopped, switched off and locked out
and cannot be started accidentally.
To fit tools with cylindrical fittings to the horizontal cutter spindle proceed as follows:
- Completely unscrew the ring nut (E).
- Use a lock ring (L) with a hole large enough for the tool to be fitted.
- Insert the lock ring (L) in the ring nut (E).
- Screw the ring nut (E) without tightening.
- Insert the tool (U) in the lock ring.
- Clamp the spindle firmly in position with the pin spanner (M) and screw down the ring nut with the C spanner (H).
On units with 2 power take-offs, fit the tool on the rear spindle as follows:
- Completely unscrew the ring nut.
- Use a lock ring with a hole large enough for the tool to be fitted
- Insert the lock ring in the ring nut.
- Screw the ring nut without tightening.
- Clamp the spindle firmly with the pin spanner (G) (22 mm).
- Screw down the ring nut using the C spanner (F).
