Operation: Preparing
jobs
Before you can machine materials, you need to switch
the machine on. The corresponding jobs must have
been transferred to PrograMill CNC where they display
in the job list.
Starting the machine
NOTICE
Short-circuit hazard when the machine is too cold
If the machine is transported from a cold environment
into a warmer environment, a short circuit may occur
caused by condensate.
Before switching on the machine after trans-
portation, ensure the following:
The ambient air has the allowed temperature.
n
The machine has the same temperature as the
n
ambient air. This will take at least 48 hours.
The machine is completely dry.
n
You usually start the machine as follows:
1. Ensure that the machine is properly installed.
2. Switch on the machine at the main power switch.
3. If the machine controls the suction unit, switch on
the unit and select the necessary extraction level.
The suction unit is not running. If it is, the data
cable of supported suction units is not properly
installed.
If you control the suction unit manually,
you will switch it on immediately before job
execution.
4. Close the working chamber door.
The machine will not reference if the
working chamber door is open.
5. Start the CNC computer.
6. Start PrograMill CNC.
The following happens:
a. The machine references.
b. The working chamber is illuminated in white.
7. If the machine doesn't reference because the
working chamber door is open, close the door.
Wait until the machine has referenced.
Starting the machine with a tool in the
collet chuck
Under some circumstances like a power outage, there
can be a tool in the collet chuck of the spindle when
you start the machine. You need to remove the tool
from the collet chuck before you can use the machine.
Danger of cuts and burns when touching tools with
your bare hands
If you handle tools on the cutting surface, you may be
injured. As the tool may be very hot, you may also
suffer from skin burns.
Machine damage if you do not remove the tool
If the tool remains in the spindle after you have
confirmed the message, it will collide with machine
parts such as the measuring key and severely damage
them.
