SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The machine is equipped with safety devices which serve to protect personnel Eeoelswpl001
and the machine
itself from hazards arising from unforeseen accidents. However, operators must not rely exclusively
on these safety devices: they must also become fully familiar with the safety guidelines presented
below to ensure accident-free operation.
This instruction manual and the warning signs attached to the machine cover only those hazards
which Okuma can predict. Be aware that they do not cover all possible hazards.

1. Precautions Relating to Machine Installation

(1) Install the machine at a site where the following conditions (the conditionsEeoelswpl002
for achievement of
the guaranteed accuracy) apply.
• Ambient temperature: 17 to 25°C
• Ambient humidity: 40% to 75% at 20°C (no condensation)
• Site not subject to direct sunlight or excessive vibration; environment as free of dust, acid,
corrosive gases, and salt spray as possible.
(2) Prepare a primary power supply that complies with the following requirements.
• Voltage: 200 V
• Voltage fluctuation: ±10% max.
• Power supply frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Do not draw the primary power supply from a distribution panel that also supplies a major
noise source (for example, an electric welder or electric discharge machine) since this could
cause malfuntion of the CNC unit.
• If possible, connect the machine to a ground not used by any other equipment. If there is no
choice but to use a common ground, the other equipment must not generate a large amount
of noise (such as an electric welder or electric discharge machine).
(3) Installation Environment
Observe the following points when installing the control enclosure.
• Make sure that the CNC unit will not be subject to direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the control enclosure will not be splashed with chips, water, or oil.
• Make sure that the control enclosure and operation panel are not subject to excessive vibra-
tions or shock.
• The permissible ambient temperature range for the control enclosure is 0 to 40°C.
• The permissible ambient humidity range for the control enclosure is 30 to 95% (no conden-
sation).
• The maximum altitude at which the control enclosure can be used is 1000 m (3281ft.).

2. Points to Check before Turning on the Power

(1) Close all the doors of the control enclosure and operation panel to preventEeoelswpl003
the entry of water,
chips, and dust.
(2) Make absolutely sure that there is nobody near the moving parts of the machine, and that there
are no obstacles around the machine, before starting machine operation.
(3) When turning on the power, turn on the main power disconnect switch first, then the CONTROL
ON switch on the operation panel.

3. Precautions Relating to Manual/Continuous Operation

(1) Follow the instruction manual during operation. Eeoelswpl004
(2) Do not operate the machine with the front cover, chuck cover, or another protective cover
removed. Ensure that the workpiece and the tool are securely fixed.
(3) Close the front cover before starting the machine.
(4) When machining the initial workpiece, check for machine operations, run the machine under no
load to check for interference among components, cut the workpiece in the single block mode,
and then start continuous operation.
(5) Ensure your safety before rotating the spindle or moving a machine part.
(6) Do not touch chips or workpiece while the spindle is rotating.
(7) Do not stop a rotating part with hand or another means.
(8) Check that the condition of hydraulic chuck jaws as mounted, operating pressure, and maxi-
mum permissible revolving speed.
(9) Check the condition and location of the cutting tool as mounted.
(10) Check the tool offset value.
(11) Check the zero offset value.
(12) Check that the SPINDLE OVERRIDE and FEEDRATE OVERRIDE dials on the NC operation
panel are set to 100%.
(13) When moving the turret, check the software limits for X- and Z-axes or the locations of limit
switch dogs to prevent interference with the chuck and tailstock.
(14) Check the location of the turret.
(15) Check the location of the tailstock.
(16) Cut workpieces with a transmitted power and torque within the permissible range.
(17) Chuck each workpiece firmly.
(18) Check that the coolant nozzle is properly located.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

5. Precautions during Maintenance Inspection and When

Trouble Occurs
Eeoelswpl006
In order to prevent unforeseen accidents, damage to the machine, etc., it is essential to observe the
following points when performing maitenance inspections or during checking when trouble has
occurred.
(1) When trouble occurs, press the emergency stop button on the operation panel to stop the
machine.
(2) Consult the person responsible for maintenance to determine what corrective measures need
to be taken.
(3) If two or more persons must work together, establish signals so that they can communicate to
confirm safety before proceeding to each new step.
(4) Use only the specified replacement parts and fuses.
(5) Always turn the power off before starting inspection or changing parts.
(6) When parts are removed during inspection or repair work, always replace them as they were
and secure them properly with their screws, etc.
(7) When carrying out inspections in which measuring instruments are used - for example voltage
checks - make sure the instrument is properly calibrated.
(8) Do not keep combustible materials or metals inside the control enclosure or terminal box.
(9) Check that cables and wires are free of damage: damaged cables and wires will cause current
leakage and electric shocks.
(10) Maintenance inside the Control Enclosure
a) Switch the main power disconnect switch OFF before opening the control enclosure door.
b) Even when the main power disconnect switch is OFF, there may some residual charge in
the MCS drive unit (servo/spindle), and for this reason only service personnel are permitted
to perform any work on this unit. Even then, they must observe the following precautions.
• MCS drive unit (servo/spindle)
The residual voltage discharges two minutes after the main switch is turned OFF.
c) The control enclosure contains the NC unit, and the NC unit has a printed circuit board
whose memory stores the machining programs, parameters, etc. In order to ensure that the
contents of this memory will be retained even when the power is switched off, the memory is
supplied with power by a battery. Depending on how the printed circuit boards are handled,
the contents of the memory may be destroyed and for this reason only service personnel
should handle these boards.
(11) Periodic Inspection of the Control Enclosure
a) Cleaning the cooling unit
The cooling unit in the door of the control enclosure serves to prevent excessive tempera-
ture rise inside the control enclosure and increase the reliability of the NC unit. Inspect the
following points every three months.
• Is the fan motor inside the cooling unit working?
The motor is normal if there is a strong draft from the unit.
• Is the external air inlet blocked?
If it is blocked, clean it with compressed air.

SECTION 1 OVERVIEW OF SUB SPINDLE FUNCTION

SECTION 1 OVERVIEW OF SUB SPINDLE FUNCTION

1. OVERVIEW
Eeoelsww1001
This manual is prepared as an annex to the manuals (operation manual and programming manual)
of standard OSP functions so that the sub spindle CNC lathes, which provide the advantageous fea-
tures of process integrating machines, can be operated more efficiently and effectively.

<Features of OSP's Sub Spindle Functions >

(1) The workpiece machined in the main spindle can be directly transferred to the sub spindle.
(2) The workpiece can be transferred to the sub spindle at the most appropriate pressured.
(3) The sub spindle operation can be programmed in the same image as programming the opera-
tions at the main spindle.
(4) For bar materials, cut-off operation is possible.
 4380-E P-2
SECTION 1 OVERVIEW OF SUB SPINDLE FUNCTION

2. COORDINATE SYSTEMS
Since a sub spindle model has two spindles, two reference coordinate systemsEeoelsww1002
for programming are
provided - one for the main spindle and the other for the sub spindle.
For two spindles, the same turret is used in common and the commands are valid for the spindle
that corresponds to the selected coordinate system. Before specifying commands, the coordinate
system must be selected first. The desired coordinate system can be selected either by using the
mode switch provided in the option panel (in the case of manual mode) or specifying a G code (in
the case of automatic or MDI mode). For details of coordinate system selection operation, refer to
SECTION 2 "OPERATION".
For the two-saddle sub spindle models, selection of only the coordinate system for the main spindle
is possible for the B turret.

G code is used to select a coordinate system. Eeoelsww2026
Selection of the coordinate system for the main spindle.....G141
Selection of the coordinate system for the sub spindle.....G140

NOTICE
For the two-saddle specification machines, only the coordinate system for the main spindle can
be selected for the B turret. When the B saddle is selected, it is not necessary to give a coordi-
nate system selection command.

Procedure :
1 Select the MDI mode by pressing the [MDI] key on the NC operation panel.

2 With the two-saddle specification, select the saddle for which the entered commands should be
executed using the turret selection keys ([TURRET A], [TURRET B]).

3 Input the coordinate system selection G code.

G140 or G141

4 Press the (WRITE) key. The input data is transferred to the BUFFER area when the

(WRITE) key is pressed.

5 Press the [CYCLE START] button The data in the BUFFER area is transferred to the CUR-
RENT area when the [CYCLE START] button is pressed, and then the command is executed.

SECTION 2 OPERATION

4. AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Eeoelsww2027
Since the automatic operation procedure is basically the same as operating the standard machine
automatlcally, refer to the OSP OPERATION MANUAL. In this section, only the operation procedure
specific to the sub spindle model is described.

4-1. Sequence Restart

Basic operation for sequence restart of the sub spindle model is the same as Eeoelsww2028
the sequence restart
for the standard machines. When executing sequence restart, however, the following points must be
carefully attended to.
Before starting the sequence restart operation, match the actual machine status to the status of the
active commands in the program block where sequence restart is executed.

The status that must be the same as the active programmed status is:
• Spindle mode selection
• C-axis joint status
• Turret indexing

When executing the sequence restart, the axes should be positioned near the position specified by
the program.

4-2. Starting a Program from Desired Sequence

Starting a program from the desired sequence can be performed in the sameEeoelsww2029
manner as with the
standard machines. However, this operation requires your special attention.
Disregarding the spindle mode of the commands specified in the start block, the machine operates
in the coordinate system that conforms to the active spindle mode at the start of operation. There-
fore, if the program is started in the spindle mode which differs from the spindle mode active in the
program, the machine will operate unexpectedly.
Before restarting the program from the desired block, select the actual spindle mode that meets the
spindle mode active in the program block where the operation is started.

5. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

5-1. Interlock (for two-saddle models only)

5-1-1. Collision Preventive Function

Eeoelsww2030
Since the W-axis and the ZB-axis are mounted on the same bed, there is a possibility that they col-
lide each other. To avoid this, the collision preventive function is provided so that the B-turret and
the sub spindle base will not collide each other.

EIOELSWW2007R01

(1) Function
The actual distance between the B-turret and the sub spindle is constantly monitored. When the
distance becomes smaller than the value set at the optional parameter during axis feed, an
alarm will occur or commands will be disregarded, corresponding to the operation mode
selected; in the manual mode, the commands will be disregarded and in the automatic and MDI
modes, an alarm will occur.
Even if an alarm occurs, axis motion in the direction that increases the distance between the B-
turret and sub spindle is possible.
a) Automatic or MDI mode
An alarm will occur if "actual distance < parameter-set distance" during axis feed.
b) Manual mode
Commands will be disregarded If "actual distance < parameter set distance" during axis
feed.
Note however the manual axis feed in the direction to increase the distance (ZB-axis feed in
the negative direction and W-axis feed in the positive direction) is possible.
(2) Parameter setting
Follow the procedure below to set a value at the OPTIONAL PARAMETER (1ST-2ND SPIN-
DLE) Interference-free distance ZB-W (sub spindle).
a) In the manual mode, approximate the B-saddle and sub spindle base to a point where there
is no interference between them.
b) In this condition, select the OPTIONAL PARAMETER (1ST-2ND SPINDLE) screen in the
parameter setting mode.
c) Move the cursor to Interference-free distance ZB-W (SUB SPINDLE).
d) Press the [F1] (SET) key to input the distance between the B-turret and sub spindle base.
 4380-E P-15
SECTION 2 OPERATION

If data other than the initial value has already been input, it is also possible to change the set value
by using the [F2] (ADD) function.
Setting unit: 1 µm
Setting range: 40000 to 9999999
Initial setting: 9999999

NOTICE
If the software is re-installed, set this parameter again.

5-2. Workpiece Transfer Function from the Main Spindle to the Sub
Spindle
Eeoelsww2031
In the sub spindle model, it is possible to directly transfer a workpiece from the main spindle to the
sub spindle. When transferring a workpiece to the sub spindle, the torque limit and the torque skip
functions are used since the workpiece must be pushed against the sub spindle chuck at an appro-
priate torque.
For details of these function, refer to the OSP PROGRAMMING MANUAL.
A simple example program for transferring a workpiece is shown below.
G140 ........ Select the main spindle mode to execute a W-axis
command.
G0 X500 Z300 ........ Retract the X-axis to avoid interference between
the turret and the sub spindle base.
G29 PW=30 ........ Specify the torque limit for the W-axis motor.
G94 G22 W50 D5 L10 F1000 PW=25 ........ Push the sub spindle against the workpiece end
face using the torque skip function.
G29 PW=25 ........ Lower the W-axis motor torque.
M248 ........ Close the sub spindle chuck
M84 ........ Close the spindle chuck
G28 ........ Cancel the W-axis torque limit
G90 G00 W300 ........ Retract the W-axis

SECTION 2 OPERATION

5-3. W-axis Cutting Function

The W-axis cutting function optionally available for one-saddle models only. Eeoelsww2032
(1) Outline of the Function
The W-axis cutting function allows simultaneous cutting of a workpiece clamped in the main
spindle chuck using a tool set in the sub spindle and a tool in the turret. In this case, the sub
spindle base is regarded as a turret, and its motion is independently controlled as "W-axis".
(2) Programming
When this function is selected, the coordinate system established by the main spindle and the
sub spindle base is created in addition to the coordinate system by the main spindle and the tur-
ret. Therefore, G codes to switch the coordinate system become necessary.
G code designating the turret coordinate system: G13
G code designating the sub spindle base coordinate system: G14
• The program for the G13 side can be created in the same manner as the program for normal
one-saddle models. However "G13" must be designated in the starting block of the program.
Coordinate System to be Selected Commanded Code
Main spindle side G140
Turret G13
Sub spindle side G141
W-axis cutting using the sub spindle base G14

NOTICE
1) Commands for the G14 side can be designated only when the G13 side is in the G140 mode.
2) W-axis commands cannot be designated when the G13 side is in the G141 mode.
3) At the G14 side, only the following commands can be designated.

a) W-axis commands

Rapid feed : G00

Cutting feed : G01 G94 (feed per minute)
G95 (feed per revolution)

b) Synchronizing P command
A P command is used for synchronizing the execution of the commands designated in the
G13 side.
c) S and M commands for the main spindle
These commands must match with those designated in the G13 side.
d) Sub spindle chuck open/close commands
M248 : Sub spindle chuck close
M249 : Sub spindle chuck open
 4380-E P-17
SECTION 2 OPERATION

(3) Sub Spindle Rotation Commands from the G14 Side

When a drill is mounted to the sub spindle and a workpiece clamped by the main spindle chuck
is drilled using the W-axis cutting function, the sub spindle in the G14 mode can be regarded as
the M-tool in multi-machining models. Therefore, the commands for the sub spindle in the G14
mode with the W-axis cutting function active should be as follows.
a) Sub spindle rotation commands
M12 : Sub spindle stop
M13 : Sub spindle (M-tool) forward rotation
M14 : Sub spindle (M-tool) reverse rotation
b) Sub spindle speed command
SB = {{{
c) Sub spindle motor winding change-over commands
M241 : Sub spindle motor low-speed winding (only for sub spindle VAC motor models)
M242 : Sub spindle high-speed winding (only for sub spindle VAC motor models)

5-4. Mirror Image for the Z-axis of the Sub Spindle

Eeoelsww2033
With the sub spindle models designed for multi-process machining, the mirror image function can be
used on both the main and sub spindle sides independently for longitudinal direction axis move-
ments.

To select the mirror image coordinate system, set the necessary parameter Eeoelsww2035
data for each of the
main and sub spindles independently.
(1) Mirror Image Selection on the Main Spindle Side
OPTIONAL PARAMETER (1ST-2ND SPINDLE) 1st spindle mirror image select (Z)
(2) Mirror Image Selection on the Sub Spindle Side
OPTIONAL PARAMETER (1ST-2ND SPINDLE) 2nd spindle mirror image select (Z)
To select the mirror image coordinate system on the main spindle side

NOTICE
The parameters indicated above are valid only when the power is turned on. Therefore, when
parameter setting has been changed, back up the updated data by pressing function key [F5]
(BACK UP), turn off the power, and turn it on again.

(3) Variable Limits Set by User Parameters

To switch between the fundamental coordinate system and the mirror image coordinate system,
the plus and minus of the Z-coordinate are changed only in the program coordinate system.
Therefore, variable limit values in the machine coordinate system are not changed even when
the mirror image coordinate system is selected.

EIOELSWW2012R01

SECTION 2 OPERATION

When the setting at the OPTIONAL PARAMETER (1ST-2ND SPINDLE) 2nd spindle mirror image
select (Z) is changed with the above setting to select the mirror image coordinate system for the
main spindle and the fundamental coordinate system for the sub spindle, the following state will be
established.

5-4-3. Coordinate System Designation

Designate the coordinate system to be selected, fundamental or mirror image,Eeoelsww2036

in the starting block
of the program. When the coordinate system designated in the part program and the coordinate sys-
tem set by the parameter do not agree, an alarm occurs.
Selecting the fundamental coordinate system : G62 Z0
Selecting the mirror image coordinate system : G62 Z1
When G62 is designated, the coordinate system designated in the part program and the coordinate
system set by the parameter are verified for safety. An alarm does not occur, however, even when
G62 is not designated.

5-4-4. Others

When the Z-axis of the main or sub spindle is moved in the G00 mode (positioning Eeoelsww2037
at the rapid fee-
drate) in the direction toward the variable limit position in which the saddle and the chuck get closer
each other, an alarm occurs irrespective of the direction of the program coordinate system that is
defined by selecting the fundamental or mirror image coordinate system.

SECTION 3 PROGRAMMING

SECTION 3 PROGRAMMING

1. COORDINATE SYSTEM

1-1. Coordinate Systems and Coordinate Values

To move a cutting tool to a target position, the coordinate system must first be Eeoelsww3001
established and then
the target position specified by the coordinate values in the established coordinate system. There
are three kinds of coordinate systems as shown below and in a program, target points are all speci-
fied by the coordinate values in the program coordinate system.
• Sensor coordinate system
• Machine coordinate system
• Program coordinate system

In the case of a sub spindle model, the spindle to be used for machining is selected meeting the
desired operation. Whichever spindle is selected, positioning is always executed by the movements
of the X- and Z-axis of the turret. Since only one pair of X- and Z-axis actually exist, three is only one
sensor coordinate system and machine coordinate system. However, a program coordinate system
can be established for the main spindle and the sub spindle independently, and the program coordi-
nate system is automatically selected according to the selection of the spindle mode.

1-2. Program Coordinate System

Eeoelsww3002
A program coordinate system is used as the reference coordinate system for programming.
For a sub spindle model, each of the spindle has its own program coordinate system and zero offset
can be set independently. Note that the Z-axis direction of the program coordinate system estab-
lished for the sub spindle is opposite to that of the machine coordinate system.

1-3. Coordinate System Selection

(1) One-saddle Models Eeoelsww3003
G codes are used to select the coordinate system.
The coordinate system should be selected by specifying appropriate G code in the starting
block of the program. Note that the block containing the coordinate system selection G code
must not contain other commands.
Selecting the main spindle.....G140
Selecting the sub spindle.....G141

NOTICE
At the beginning of a program, either of the spindle selection G codes must be specified.

(2) Two-saddle Models

Specify the coordinate system selection G code in the block immediately after the block where
a saddle selection G code (G13/G14) is specified.
For B-turret, only the main spindle can be selected at the G14 (B-turret) side, it is not necessary
to specify a spindle selection G code since the spindle mode at the G14 side is fixed at the
G140 (main spindle) mode.

(3) LAP (automatic programming) mode
(4) Constant surface speed control mode
(5) Buffering arbitrary-angle chamfering sequences
 4380-E P-23
SECTION 3 PROGRAMMING

2. PROGRAM COMMANDS
Only a difference between programming for standard models and sub spindle Eeoelsww3005
models is whether or
not a spindle mode selection G code that calls the corresponding coordinate system is specified at
the beginning of a program. Concerning the programming in the coordinate system called by the
spindle mode selection G code, there are no differences from the programming for standard models.
two-saddle models, if the same spindle mode is selected for both of the turrets, programming can be
made in the same manner as for standard two-saddle models. If different spindle modes are
selected, programming can be made in the same manner as programming for one-saddle models.

2-1. Commands
Basic codes and commands used for programming such as G codes, M codes, Eeoelsww3006
S commands, T
commands, and fixed cycle commands are the same as those used for standard models. In addition
to these codes and commands, the functions specific to the sub spindle models can be used.

2-2. Functions Specific to the Sub Spindle Models

Eeoelsww3007
The sub spindle models have the unique feature in workpiece transfer between the two spindles so
that integrated multiple-processes operation can be performed in one machine. The functions indi-
cated below are provided to implement this feature effectively.
(1) W-axis Commands
The relative position of the sub spindle to the main spindle can be controlled using W-axis com-
mands.
For W-axis movement control, either the G00 (positioning) or the G01 (linear interpolation; cut-
ting feed) can be used.

<G codes>
G00.....Positioning
G01.....Linear interpolation

<Format>
G00 W_____
G0 W_____ F_____

NOTICE
1) In the linear interpolation (G01) mode, designation of both G94 (feed per minute) and G95
(feed per revolution) are possible. In the G94 (feed per minute) mode, however, W-axis fee-
drate is controlled based on the main spindle speed.
2) For one-saddle model, the main spindle mode must always be selected.
For two-saddle model, selection of the spindle mode is possible at both of the G13 and G14
sides. However, both of G13 and G14 sides must select the main spindle (G140).
3) For two-saddle model, it is necessary to specify which of the W-axis commands (commands at
the G13 side or G14 side) is valid to avoid problems caused by W-axis commands specified at
both sides by mistake.
G122.....W-axis commands may be specified only at the G13 side.
G123.....W-axis commands may be specified only at the G14 side.
Designation of G122 and G123 must be synchronized in the G13 and G14 side programs.
At power on, the G122 mode is valid.
 4380-E P-24
SECTION 3 PROGRAMMING

(2) Main/Sub Spindle Synchronized Rotation Command

Using the synchronized rotation command, it is possible to match the sub spindle state (speed,
rotation direction phase) with the main spindle state. In the synchronized control mode, it is not
necessary to specify the spindle speed and rotation direction commands for the sub spindle.

<M codes>
M150.....Synchronized rotation mode cancel
M151.....Synchronized rotation mode ON

NOTICE
1) M150/M151 can be specified only in the G140 mode.
2) The sub spindle operation is controlled to synchronize its state to the main spindle.
3) The synchronized rotation mode can be called even while both of the spindles are rotating.
4) If the synchronized rotation mode was called while the sub spindle was rotating, the sub spin-
dle speed and rotation direction before synchronization are restored when the synchronized
rotation mode is canceled by M150.

[Supplement]
When synchronized rotation is started without a workpiece, "DIFF over" alarm might occur with the
sub spindle:
This is because the control judges that a workpiece is clamped and applies torque limit on the sub
spindle when the sub spindle chuck is closed during synchronized rotation. Therefore, if a work-
piece is not clamped in the sub spindle chuck in the synchronized rotation mode, the sub spindle
will fail to rotate in synchronization with the main spindle.
This alarm does not occur as far as the workpiece is clamped by both chucks and the main and
sub spindles are physically jointed.

(3) Opposed Spindle Chuck Open/Close Command

It is possible to open/close the chuck on the spindle currently selected and the opposed spindle
chuck.

<M codes>
M248.....Opposed spindle chuck close
M249.....Opposed spindle chuck open
(4) Opposed Spindle Chuck Open/Close Interlock Release Command
By releasing the opposed spindle chuck open/close interlock, it is possible to open/close the
chuck on the opposed spindle even when the main spindle is rotating.

<M codes>
M246.....Opposed spindle chuck open/close interlock release OFF
M247.....Opposed spindle chuck open/close interlock release ON
(5) Opposed Spindle Airblow
Air blow for the spindle, opposing to the currently selected spindle, can be turned ON and OFF.

M288.....Opposed spindle air blow OFF
M289.....Opposed spindle air blow ON

Therefore, if system variables which have the coordinate system dependent dataEeoelsww3008
are used, a pro-
gram must be written ensuring that the objective coordinate system is selected when entering such
system variables in a program.
For data input/output operation using system variables, the data of the selected coordinate system

Zero offset and zero shift of the W-axis can be set for the A-turret and B-turret side independently.

SECTION 4 DATA OPERATION

1-1. Zero Offset

(1) A-turret 1 spindle Eeoelsww4002
Set the program zero of the coordinate system established by the A-turret and the main spindle.
Set also the zero point of the W-axis which is used for the W-axis commands specified in a G13
side program.
Although setting can be made in the same manner as setting the similar data for standard
machines, it is necessary to ensure that the sub spindle mode is OFF (indicating lamp in the
MODE button on the option panel is OFF.).
Note that the W-axis zero offset defines the program coordinate system of the sub spindle in
reference to the main spindle and, therefore, it is not influenced by the A-turret position at all.
(2) A-turret 2 spindle
Set the program zero of the coordinate system established by the A-turret and the sub spindle.
Although setting can be made in the same manner as setting the similar data for standard
machines, it is necessary to ensure that the sub spindle mode is OFF (indicating lamp in the
MODE button on the option panel is OFF.).
In the sub spindle mode, set the Z-axis direction offset value of the tool nose position in refer-
ence to the sub spindle for the Z-axis zero offset. Since the sub spindle can move in the Z-axis
direction, if the sub spindle is moved after the Z-axis zero offset was set, the Z-axis zero offset
value is automatically corrected by the moved distance. The data necessary for automatic off-
set data correction is automatically set for the W-axis machine coordinate system zero offset
when the Z-axis zero offset is set.
(3) B-turret 1 spindle
Set the program zero of the coordinate system established by the B-turret and the main spindle.
Set also the zero point of the W-axis which is used for the W-axis commands specified in a G14
side program. Note that the W-axis zero offset defines the program coordinate system of the
sub spindle in reference to the main spindle as in the case of A-turret 1 spindle and, therefore, it
is not influenced by the B-turret position at all.

1-2. Setting the Offset Data

(1) Select the manual mode. Eeoelsww4003
(2) Select the coordinate system for which the zero point is set.
Turret selection key (two-saddle machines)
Sub spindle mode button (option panel)
(3) Move the axes to the desired position using the SLIDE JOG buttons or the pulse handle.
(4) Select the zero set mode.

SECTION 4 DATA OPERATION

2. TOOL DATA SETTING

Eeoelsww4004
For the tool offset data, 32 pairs of offset data can be set for each of the A-turret and the B-turret,
independently. For the A-turret, the set data is used in common to the main spindle and the sub
spindle since the data is not related to the spindle mode.
Note that the offset is made in the direction of the active program coordinate system. Therefore, if
the direction of the program coordinate system is opposite to each other between the main spindle
side coordinate system and the sub spindle side coordinate system, the offset is made in the oppo-
site direction in these two coordinate system if the same offset number is used in them.

NOTICE
If the tool offset data is set using the calculation function, the data is calculated based on the
coordinate system of the selected spindle mode. Therefore, the selected spindle mode and the
spindle mode for which the tool offset mode should be calculated must be confirmed before you
calculate the tool offset data.

SECTION 5 PARAMETERS

SECTION 5 PARAMETERS

1. OVERVIEW
Since the basic data setting method in the parameter setting mode is the same Eeoelsww5001
as used for setting
the data of standard machines, refer to the DATA OPERATION in OSP OPERATION MANUAL for
the procedure for setting the parameters.
When the coordinate values are set using the calculation function, however, the data valid in the
selected operation mode is used. Therefore, if data is calculated based on the coordinate values of
the X- and W-axis in the machine coordinate system in the state the spindle selected in the active
operation mode and the spindle mode selected in the data setting mode differ, the data will not be
calculated correctly. To set the data using the calculation function, select the manual mode and
select the coordinate system used for setting the data by specifying the turret (A/B) and the spindle
(main, sub) before calculating the data.
An error occurs if the spindle selected in the data setting mode and the spindle mode selected in the
operation mode differ from each other. Concerning the setting and addition operation, it is not nec-
essary to pay attention to the operation mode.

1-1. User Parameters

User parameters can be set for each of the three coordinate systems. Eeoelsww5002
The desired coordinate system should be selected using the turret selection key ([A], [B]) and the
spindle selection key (SUB SPINDLE MODE).
The initial settings and setting ranges for each of the entries on this screen are as follows.
• VARIABLE LIMIT
The variable soft-limits determine the stroke range of the X (Z) axis in accordance with the
workpiece.
They can be used to set the turret indexing position, prevent inappropriate positioning due to
programming errors, and protect the chuck and tailstock.
Variable soft-limits are set for both the positive and negative axis directions. They cannot be set
outside the stroke end limits.

[Supplement]
1) When using a machine with the two-saddle specification, select the parameter screens for each
saddle control axis with the turret selection keys.
When using a machine with the multiple machining specification, some setting fields relating to
the C-axis are displayed but since the C-axis is a rotary axis it requires no variable soft-limit set-
tings.
2) Variable soft-limit settings can be made either in reference to the program zero (P) or the
machine zero (M).

• Droop
The servo follow-up function of the feed axes has a fundamental lag (DIFF) with respect to func-
tion generation. Due to this lag, particularly during high-speed cutting, droop is generated at
corners. This droop can be reduced by program commands and parameter settings.

The chuck barrier function allows an area into which the tool cannot enter to be set in accor-
dance with the shape of the chuck. The chuck barrier check can be switched ON and OFF by
program commands (M codes) so that it is performed only when necessary during cutting.

L Chuck jaw length
D Chuck jaw size
L1 Chuck jaw gripping length
D1 Chuck jaw gripping face width
CX Chuck gripping diameter
CZ Distance from program zero
 4380-E P-31
SECTION 5 PARAMETERS

NOTICE
1) The chuck barrier is set in the program coordinate system. Therefore, the shifting of the Z-axis
program zero when the workpiece changes causes the barrier area to shift accordingly.
2) If the chuck barrier is set outside the variable soft-limit area, the variable soft-limit defines the
chuck barrier at that location.
3) When the NC control software is installed, the initial settings are set for all the chuck barrier
data.
4) The only barrier data for which [CAL] [F3] in the function menu can be used are jaw positions
CX and CZ. For all other data, use [SET] [F1] or ADD [F2].

CAUTION
Even when a two-saddle specification machine is being used, only one set of CX/CZ jaw position
data can be set. This makes it impossible to perform a chuck barrier check if the program zeros at
saddle A and saddle B are at different physical positions.

Eeoelsww6001
For the machine equipped with a sub spindle, a parts catcher can be used to unload workpieces by
mounting the parts catcher arm to the fixed cover at the right spindle side. The workpiece held in the
sub spindle is unloaded from it by the combined operation of arm swing motion and bucket slide
motion.

these conditions are not satisfied, an alarm occurs in the automatic/MDI mode, and in the man-
ual mode the instruction is ignored.
a) The XB-axis is a the positive variable limit position.
b) The ZB-axis must be at the ZB-axis operation enabled position or at a position in the nega-
tive direction with respect to the ZB-axis operation enabled position.
c) The W-axis is at the W-axis workpiece transfer position or at a position in the positive direc-
tion with respect to the W-axis workpiece transfer position.
d) The 2nd spindle is stopped.
e) The front door is closed. (However, this condition does not apply when the door interlock
switch is set to OFF in the manual mode or during manual interruptions (for machines
equipped with a parts catcher).)
f) The touch setter is retracted. (Machines equipped with a touch setter)
(2) Interlocks when the Parts Catcher is not at the Retract End
When the following instructions are executed when the parts catcher is not at the retract end, an
alarm occurs in the automatic/MDI mode, and in the manual mode the instruction is ignored.
a) Axis motion instruction to move the XB-axis in the negative direction
b) Axis motion instruction to move the ZB-axis in the positive direction from the ZB-axis opera-
tion enabled positions
c) Axis motion instruction to move the W-axis in the negative direction from the W-axis work-
piece transfer position
d) Instruction to rotate the 2nd axis
e) Touch setter arm advance/retract instructions (machines equipped with a touch setter)
