Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to first provide
the machine operator with a minds-eye picture of
the basic physical milling machine functions. The
second purpose is to introduce and link typical
CNC control panel concepts and modes with
those operations, so the user can find applicable
CNC procedures in the Fagor Operating Manual.
Note: Due to the generic nature of this overview,
it is not intended to be an instructional guide for
performing actual machine operations.
To learn more about specific operations and
machining techniques, seek training from people
experienced with this type of machine, and do
additional research outside of this manual.
To reduce the risk of
serious injury when using
this machine, read and
understand this entire
manual before beginning
any operations.
In a typical milling operation, the operator
does the following:
Examines the workpiece to make sure it is
1.
suitable for milling.
Firmly clamps workpiece to table.
2.
Installs correct cutting tool for operation.
3.
Loosens the applicable X-, Y-, or Z-axis table
4.
and knee locks.
5.
Uses CNC control panel or manual controls
to confirm correct positioning of cutting tool
and workpiece for operation.
If X-, Y-, or Z-axis will be used during
operation, operator confirms tool paths,
specifications, and associated machine
settings.
6.
Verifies working envelope does not exceed
axis position and travel.
O P E R A T I O N
Note: Controller will reject program if told to
go further than the global coordinate system.
Puts on personal protective gear and makes
7.
sure workpiece and table are clear of all
tools, cords, and other items.
Starts the machine, coolant pump, and
8.
completes milling operations.
Turns machine OFF.
9.
10. Removes workpiece and cleans machine.
Model SB1063
Loose hair, clothing, or
jewelry could get caught
in machinery and cause
serious personal injury.
Keep these items away
from moving parts at all
times to reduce this risk.
During operation, small
metal chips may become
airborne, leading to serious
eye injury. Wear safety
glasses to reduce this risk.
