  • Page 17: Connecting To A Computer

    Connecting the Main Unit, Controller, and Switch Panel NOTICE Connect the cables only when the PNC-3100 and the computer power sources are OFF. Ensure that the power supply voltage is within 10% of the machine's rated voltage. Securely connect the power cord and cables for computer input and output to prevent them from coming loose or causing poor contact during use.

  • Page 18: Connecting To A Computer

    When connecting to a computer for the first time, be sure to perform an operation check to make sure the unit is operating correctly. Connect the PNC-3100 to the computer using the cable. The cable for computer connection is optional. Please purchase the appropriate cable for the type of computer and software used .

  • Page 19: Communication Protocol Setting

    Communication Protocol Setting In the PNC-3100, the interface type (Parallel or Serial) is differentiated automatically. The distinguished interface is memorized until the power is turned OFF. It can not be varied while the power is ON. When changing the differentiated interface, turn the power OFF and then ON again, then transmit data.

  • Page 20: Workpiece Set Side

    Part 1 6. Workpiece Set Side WARNING Detachment of the material during operation is extremely dangerous. Follow the procedure described below to fasten the material in place securely. NOTICE Do not place anything on the XY table except material to be cut. This section is an explanation of the cutting workpiece attachment method when an optional machine vice ZV-1 is used.

  • Page 21: Cutting Tool Attachment

    NOTICE Use the correct tool for the material to be cut and the cutting method. Set the SPINDLE switch on the front of the PNC-3100 to OFF. • The LED lamp in the SPINDLE switch flashes. (When power is applied.)
  • Page 22 Part 1 If the collet chuck has not been installed, Collet chuck removal install it. Fit the collet chuck in the collet cap as shown in the figure, and tighten provisionally on the spindle. • Lightly tighten the collet cap to prevent it from falling off.

  • Page 23: Power On

    Press the POWER switch on the front of the controller setting the power to ON. (In the PNC-3100 after setting the power to ON, proceed to turn on power to the computer.)

  • Page 24: Setting The Cutting Origin

    9. Setting the Cutting Origin The PNC-3100 are suitable for use with a versatile range of workpiece shapes and a wide variety of tools, so determine the standard points for cutting each time a new workpiece is set. Set the home position (origin point for X an Y axes) and Z0 (Z axis origin point).

  • Page 25: Setting The Z0 Position

    If an error occurs, stop the transmission of data from the computer and cancel the error by clearing the buffer or by switching the power to the PNC-3100 off and on again (see page 32). The home position is the point that becomes the origin point in the X and Y directions. Usually, this point is set at the front left corner of the fixed workpiece.

  • Page 26: Cutting Condition Setting

    3. The cutting-in amount (depth of one cutting operation) Note : When settings have been made with both the software and the PNC-3100, the last settings made have priority. In this manual, these three conditions are called the cutting conditions. The characteristics and points to consider for each of these conditions are as follows.
  • Page 27 Part 1 Spindle Motor Revolution Speed HIGH The spindle motor revolution speed can be set by turning the spindle control knob on the controller. Monitor the speed indicated on the Spindle RPM Display while making this setting. Spindle Speed Ranges 3,000 to 8,000 rpm Cutting-in Amount The cutting-in amount is set by setting Z1.

  • Page 28: Downloading Cutting Data

    Software Setting In cases where cutting is controlled by generally available application software, select PNC-3100 as the output equipment setting. In cases where it is not possible to select PNC-3100 , select PNC-3000 or PNC-2700 or PNC-2500R/ 2500. Identification of the interface type (connected with computer) is done automatically in the PNC- 3100.

  • Page 29: Finishing

    • Be especially careful to remove the cutting waste from around the pleated part of the bellows cover. • Keep the PNC-3100 and its accessories in neat and proper order and use care to ensure normal work operations are carried out safely.
