instructions before starting operation.

2-1 General Precautions

WARNING
▪ Always wear work uniform, safety shoes and other required gear when operating
the machine.
Never wear clothes with loose sleeves, or any accessories that could easily be
entangled into the machine. Tie long hair back into a bun. Also never wear any
magnetic health appliances that could affect the control unit of the machine.
▪ Improper modifications of the machine will lead to obstructions of the machine
functions and put the operator at risk.
Always follow the instructions given by STAR MICRONICS when adding
modifications to the machine.
▪ Covers that are mounted on the machine are important to ensure safety. Always
turn the main power (main breaker) OFF ( ) before dismounting a cover from
the machine, or when opening the doors of the CNC cabinet to carry out
maintenance, etc.
Before turning the main power (main breaker) ON ( ) again, always mount the
cover onto its original position.
▪ In order to maintain safety, do not operate the machine while a part is
dismounted.

CAUTION
▪ Always pay attention to the maintenance of each part of the machine in order to
prevent damage and malfunction, especially to loosened parts, screws etc.
▪ Replace damaged parts immediately to prevent further damage and/or
malfunction.

2-1
▪ Always read this operation manual thoroughly and learn the contents beforehand
when operating the machine.
▪ Always keep the machine clean and tidy. It is particularly important that the
operation panel is kept free from oil and cutting chips in order to prevent
operational mistakes and injuries.
▪ In order to avoid injury from cutting chips, or by slipping and falling, keep the area
around the machine neat and clean and work in a clean environment.
▪ In order to avoid electric leakages or machine errors, make sure that the machine
does not become wet during cleaning etc.
▪ The machine supervisor must always store the following keys:

The CONTROL MODE key and the MEMORY INPUT key .

▪ In order to prevent rust from developing, do not use the sand-paper/sand-cloth

2-2
2-2 Cautions about Inspection and Maintenance

WARNING
▪ Always stop the machine first when inspecting, adjusting the machine and/or
cleaning out the cutting chips.
▪ Check that the gripping force of the main/sub collets and the collets of tool units
are sufficient. If the gripping force is not sufficient, the material or the tool may
be ejected from the spindle, which is very dangerous.
▪ Check that the clearance between the guide bush and the material is adequate.
If the guide bush is too tight, the material could become burnt or cause a fire.
▪ If cutting chips become entangled or clogged in the material or tools, the coolant
will lose effectiveness and a fire may occur. Consider the abovementioned
items, and carry out proper tooling.
▪ If a sufficient amount of coolant is not supplied to the machining point, a fire may
occur.
Always set the coolant nozzles toward the machining point correctly, in order to
supply a sufficient amount of coolant.
▪ Never blow air directly towards the cutting chips because the chips will fly and
can cause injury.
▪ Breakage of a cut-off tool could damage the machine or cause a fire. If a tool
becomes broken, replace it immediately. In addition, always use the broken
cut-off tool detector after the cutting-off process.
▪ High-voltage currents flow inside the terminal block covers of the automatic
centralized lubrication pump motor and the coolant pump motor. Receiving an
electric shock will cause serious injury or death. Only the machine supervisor is
required to remove the covers after the main power (main breaker) is turned
OFF ( ).

2-3
 CAUTION
▪ Do not touch cutting chips with bare hands as this can cause injuries. When
cleaning out the cutting chips, work with protective gear such as leather gloves.
▪ Do not touch the edges of tools when replacing them as this can cause injuries.
▪ Do not use coolant that contains a chlorine element, as it will considerably
shorten the life of rubber parts of the belt and seals.
▪ Mount the tool units and attachments correctly in order to prevent machine
damage and accidents.
▪ Never machine beyond the machine specifications as doing so can cause
machine damages and accidents.
▪ The operator is at risk of getting hurt by being hit by the bar during bar feeding.
Never put any body part into the machine when feeding a bar.
▪ Do not touch the spindles or the power-driven tool units immediately after
machining as this can cause burns.
▪ The temperature of the surface of the coolant pump will become very high during
machine operation. Touching it for a long period of time can cause a burn.
Do not touch the coolant pump during machine operation or immediately after
the machine stops.
▪ Supply clean compressed air to the machine.
If the carbide, oil mist or moisture generated in the compressor are continuously
supplied to the machine together with the compressed air, it will cause the
malfunction or breakage of pneumatic equipment (solenoid valves, pneumatic
cylinder etc.) used by the machine. Follow the instructions of compressor
manufacturer and carry out the maintenance and inspection of the compressor
periodically. If oil mist and moisture are contained in the compressed air, install
a removal device such as a Water Separator, oil mist filter etc. to take
necessary measures for removing oil mist and moisture. 메모 포함[石割1]: 4/25 江藤室長メール 全機種展開

▪ Designate a person who is familiar with the machine as a machine supervisor, and
always carry out inspections and adjustments of the machine under his/her
supervision.
▪ Place a sign etc. so that the inspection and adjustment work being carried out can
be clearly recognized by others.
▪ Always use the lubricant oil designated by STAR MICRONICS.
▪ Never mix the lubricant with other brands, as doing so will reduce its effectiveness.
▪ Always decide tooling with consideration to machine collision, and be sure to check
the air-cut program before starting operation.
▪ Never leave any tools, tool holders etc. on the machine after use, in order to avoid
the occurrence of accidents and work inefficiency.
Always keep them organized.
▪ Using an unspecified tool unit will cause machining defects or machine collision.
Be sure to use tool units listed in “Appendix 4. List of Tool Holders” of this manual.

2-4
2-3 Cautions before Operation

DANGER
▪ Always keep the cabinet covers closed.
Ignoring this can cause serious injury or death due to high-voltage electric
shocks.

CAUTION
▪ Check that the amount of lubricant oil and coolant are sufficient in order to
prevent machine damage and malfunctions.
▪ Check that tooling matches the program in order to prevent machine damage
and malfunctions.

▪ In order to prevent the mixing of defectives and the tool damages, use better bar
than MAS class B as allowance of bar curvature.
*Bar better than MAS class B: 0.5mm or less per 1.0m (curvature)
Please consult the manufacturer of automatic bar feeder if anything is unclear.

▪ Be sure to check the location of the EMERGENCY STOP button in

preparation for any accidents and hazards.
▪ Check that the tool compensation details are adequate.
▪ Before starting operation, run idle for the main spindle and the sub spindle for 15
minutes at 3000min -1.
▪ Check that the tools, machine parts etc. are correctly mounted on the machine in
order to prevent machine damage and malfunctions.
▪ Check that there is a sufficient amount of coolant before starting operation.

2-5
2-4 Cautions during Operation

WARNING
▪ In order to prevent hazards, always close all the doors and turn the CONTROL
MODE key switch to MACHINING .
▪ In order to prevent injuries, do not put your hand(s) into the machine.
▪ Check that the discharge amount and direction of the coolant is adequate.
▪ If cutting chips become entangled or clogged in the material or tool, the
effectiveness of the coolant will significantly decline and a fire can occur.
Clear away the chips appropriately.
▪ Make sure to stop the machine before cleaning out the cutting chips.
▪ During automatic operation, check the status of the operation at suitable
intervals to see the status of the cutting chips, the coolant amount and
discharge status, tool damage and wear, and guide bush seizure. Major
accidents can occur if any trouble is neglected.
▪ Keep away from the cover mounted on the guide tube of the parts ejector with
guide tube. This cover is exposed on the lower part and so parts of your body
can easily be caught by the guide tube, resulting in injury.

CAUTION
▪ The temperature of the work piece just after machining will become very high.
Touching it may cause a burn.
Never touch the work piece just after machining.

▪ Always check the program in air-cut mode before starting automatic operation.
During this time, check the operation while the torque limiter is ON and lowering the
RAPID TRAVERSE OVERRIDE to minimize the damage caused by
machine collision.
▪ Check that the pneumatic pressure gauges read 0.5MPa and 0.4MPa.
▪ The net sheet or filter can easily get clogged up by cutting chips. Remove the
cutting chips so that the coolant flows smoothly, and always stop the machine
before doing so.
▪ Observe the automatic operation until it runs correctly.
▪ Before starting automatic operation, be sure to check the disposal of cutting chips,
the coolant amount and coolant discharge status. After checking all these
conditions carefully, set the automatic operation time.

2-6
2-5 Cautions after Completing Operation

▪ Make sure that the CNC POWER button and the main breaker ( ) are
turned OFF.
▪ Clean the machine, remove any chips and apply the rust prevention oil.
▪ It is important to be especially careful when using a water-soluble coolant in order
to prevent rusting. After wiping off the coolant as much as possible, refill the
lubricant manually (refer to section “12-1-3 Inspection of the Lubricant”) and
reciprocate all axes in full stroke a couple of times to spread the lubricant to the
sliding contact.

2-7
2-6 Other Cautions

◼ Cautions about the control unit

DANGER
▪ High voltage currents flow inside the cabinet and operation panel. Receiving an
electric shock can result in injury or death. The qualified servicing personnel are
required to keep the cabinet keys and open the cabinet door. Only the machine
supervisor is permitted to open the cabinet door and remove the operation panel
cover.

WARNING
▪ Always contact STAR MICRONICS beforehand when modifying a control unit or
circuit. Unauthorized modifications may cause serious problems to the control
system.

CAUTION
▪ When replacing a fuse, make sure a specified fuse is used.
▪ Keep the control unit away from any shocks or vibrations.
▪ Do not apply a strong force to the connecting parts.

◼ Cautions about the operation panel

▪ This machine uses a swiveling operation panel for an operator to adjust standing
position where he/she operates easily, which leads to a convenience improvement.
On the other hand, there is an area where the operation panel collides with the
exterior machine cover when the operation panel is swiveled to the bar feeder unit
side or to the cutting room side by 90 degrees or more, which may damage the
operation panel and/or the cover.
Be careful of the collision when swiveling the operation panel.

2-8
◼ Cautions about the vision panel of the cutting room

CAUTION
▪ The vision panel is made from polyvinyl chloride. Replace the vision panel when
it becomes dirty, discolored and/or deteriorated from long-term coolant use to a
degree that the operator cannot see inside. Replace it immediately when
damage such as cracks or dents has been inflicted.
▪ The life span of the vision panel is approximately 5 years. Replace it after 5
years even if there are no problems with visibility.

▪ When cleaning the vision panel, use a mild detergent and soft material such as a

▪ Contact STAR MICRONICS when the vision panel needs to be replaced.

◼ Cautions about fire prevention

Water-insoluble coolant has the potential to catch fire if it vaporizes or forms a mist inside
the machine. Pay close attention to the following points to prevent the occurrence of a fire.

(1) Conditions when the coolant easily catches fire

 When cutting chips are tangled or clogged into material or tools, and the effectiveness
of the coolant declines remarkably.
 When coolant supplied to the cutting point is insufficient due to the nozzle directions
being incorrect. Pay attention to the direction of nozzles as they may get moved by
moving parts or cutting chips.
 When the coolant discharge is insufficient because of a shortage of the coolant,
clogging of the cutting chip filter or a breakage of the coolant pump.
 When the effectiveness of the coolant declines, or when an inflammable coolant is
used.
 When the temperature is high and the coolant evaporates, forming high
concentration.
 When frictional heat between the material and tool is abnormally high due to damage
or deterioration of the tool.
 When there is an abnormality of the electrical system inside or around the machine
which easily leads to sparks.

 (2) Cautionary points about fire prevention

WARNING
▪ Never use anything flammable near the machine.
▪ If an automatic fire extinguisher is installed, connect the power supply to the
primary side of the machine main breaker (QF001).
▪ If an automatic fire extinguisher is not installed, place a fire extinguisher near the
machine.
▪ When the automatic fire extinguisher and mist collector are used together, install
a shutter between the machine and mist collector. Interlock the shutter with the
mist collector so that the mist suction is stopped for safety in the event of a fire.
▪ Never carry out machining that exceeds the machine specifications.
▪ Check that the discharge amount and direction of coolant are correct.
▪ Check whether or not the moving parts or cutting chips alter the directions of the
coolant nozzles.
▪ Routinely check that the safety devices (coolant level detector, broken cut-off
tool detector, etc.) function normally.
▪ Ensure that all the doors are closed during operation.

▪ Check the cutting chips in the coolant tank and chip tank. Also check and amend
where necessary the clogging of the cutting chip filter and the twisting and clogging
of the coolant hoses, in order to circulate the coolant smoothly in the machine.
▪ When machining combustible materials (magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium
alloy, etc.), make sure that an extinguisher for metallic fires has been placed near
the machine and always watch over the machining conditions during machining.

◼ Other cautions about fire

In case of fire, be sure to contact STAR-MICRONICS even when there is no damage.
After the extinguishing agent is sprayed, thoroughly ventilate inside and around the machine,
then carry out the restoration work.

2-10
◼ Cautions about coolant use

▪ For both water-soluble and water-insoluble coolant, follow the directions of the
coolant manufacturer about quality deterioration, inspection intervals, replacement
intervals and safe disposal of the coolant.
▪ On occasions when a large amount of coolant mist is generated due to the material
or machining conditions, install a mist collector to exhaust the mist out of the
machine. In addition, for details concerning the installation of the mist collector,
refer to section “4-3 Reference Dimensional Drawings ◼ Reference dimensional
drawing for mist collector” of the installation manual.
▪ Sealing has been applied to rotating parts in order to make water-soluble coolant use
possible and prevent seeping of the coolant. However, the lifespan of the bearings
used for power-driven tools, the revolving guide bush etc. will become shorter
compared to water-insoluble coolant use. In addition, when stopping the machine for
long periods, please remove the coolant from the main parts of the machine, all units,
especially the rotating parts and guideways, and prevent those areas from rusting.

◼ Cautions about lubrication oil use

▪ Never mix with foreign matters such as water, dust, etc. in the lubricant tank.
▪ Follow the directions of the lubrication oil manufacturer about quality deterioration,
inspection intervals, replacement intervals and safe disposal of the lubrication oil.

3. Outline
This chapter describes the outline of this machine.

3-1 Features

This machine is a CNC sliding headstock automatic lathe which allows front machining with
the main spindle and the tool post as well as back machining with the sub spindle and the
back 8-spindle unit.

3-2 Configuration of the Main Units and the Names of Units

The main units and devices of this machine are shown below:

3-3 Functions of the Main Units

This machine is a CNC sliding headstock automatic lathe and it is composed of the following
main attachments.
<Guide Bush version>

<Non Guide Bush version>

3-5
◼ Headstock

The headstock comprises of the main spindle and a sliding unit. The main spindle chucks a
bar material with the collet and gives it a rotary motion while the sliding unit gives it a
reciprocating motion in the Z1-axis (longitudinal) direction with the CNC control. The feeding
of bar material in the Z1-axis direction is given by the headstock during front machining.

▪ Front machining ········Machining with the main spindle and the tool post.
▪ Back machining ········Machining with the sub spindle and the back 8-spindle unit.

3-6
◼ Main tool post

The main tool post provides reciprocating motion in the direction of X1-axis and Y1-axis with
the CNC control, and feeds the bar in the diametric direction during the machining with the
main tool post.
This unit makes the cutting tool, fed in the diametric direction, contact with the bar material
near the guide bush and executes machining in cooperation with the headstock movement.
Also, the tilting head 3-spindle unit can perform reciprocal circular motion in the direction of
B1-axis (turning) with the CNC control, and perform angle indexing.
Tool holders, 4-spindle sleeve holders and power-driven tool unit are installed in the main
tool post. Tools are to be installed into the tool holders and execute cutting/turning machining.
Various kinds of sleeves can be installed into the 4-spindle sleeve holder to perform
front/back drilling, tapping and boring.
Drill, tap and end mill etc. are to be attached to the power-driven tool unit which gives them
rotary motion for the front/back/cross/skewed drilling, tapping, milling and off-center drilling
etc.
When the cartridge-type power-driven tool unit is installed, machining such as thread
whirling and slotting can be performed.
X1-axis performs feeding of the tool holders and power-driven tool unit in the diametric
direction, and tool selection for the power-driven tool unit and 4-spindle sleeve holder.
Y1-axis performs tool selection for the tool holder, power-driven tool unit and 4-spindle sleeve
holder as well as the feeding of the power-driven tool unit in the diametric direction.

3-7
◼ Guide bush <Guide bush version>

The guide bush supports the bar near the machining point to prevent it from being bent by
the cutting load, and makes it possible to perform highly accurate machining.
For guide bush version, the guide bush supports most of the cutting load in the diametric
direction. Machining accuracy largely depends on the clearance between the guide bush and
the bar.
For highly accurate machining, choose a bar with an accurate outer diameter.
This machine includes a revolving guide bush that synchronizes with the main spindle.

3-8
◼ Back attachment

The back attachment comprises of the sub spindle and the sliding unit. The sub spindle
chucks the bar with a collet during or after front machining and gives it a rotary motion.
The sliding unit gives it a reciprocating motion in the Z2-axis (longitudinal) direction and the
X2-axis direction with the CNC control. The back attachment feeds the bar in the Z2-axis
direction at the time of back machining, and in the X2-axis direction at the time of tool
selection for the back 8-spindle unit. Functions of back attachment machining are roughly
classified as follows.

 Non-pip machining
The back attachment chucks a bar with the sub collet and rotates synchronously with
the main spindle for executing cutting-off so that the cutting-end surface is finished
without dowel.
 Z1-Z2 synchronous control
The back attachment chucks a bar simultaneously with the main spindle during front
machining, and performs a synchronous movement in the Z1/Z2-axis direction or rotates
synchronously with the main spindle in order to prevent the bar from bending or
swinging and heavy duty cutting or accurate machining is performed.
 Back machining
The back attachment performs back machining of the cutting-end surface and its
periphery together with the back 8-spindle unit.

▪ Back machining ·······Machining with the sub spindle and the back 8-spindle unit.

3-9
◼ Back 8-spindle unit

This unit has 8 fit positions for installing tool units and performs back drilling/
tapping/boring at and around the cut-off surface, while cooperating with the back
attachment.
When the power-driven tool unit is installed, back off-center drilling/tapping/milling can be
performed. Slotting units can be installed into T2100  T2300 and cross drilling units can be
installed into T2100  T2400.
Rotary motion of the bar is given by the sub spindle, and tool selection is performed by X2
and Y2 axes.
