Warning Qualified personnel must complete all work. Do not apply power to the Vipros 357 Queen until an A.E.S.I. (Amada Engineering and Service Incorporated) Engineer is present and has instructed you to do so. Considerable effort has been made to ensure that this manual is free of inaccuracies and omissions.
Prepare the Vipros 357 Queen floor or foundation as required. See page 21, Foundation Requirements, for details. Uncrate the Vipros 357 Queen and place on the foundation, but do not fill the anchor-bolt holes (if used) until after A.E.S.I. completes the initial installation.
The Vipros 357 Queen requires two separate electrical power sources. The first power source is supplied to the Fanuc 18PC. The other power source goes to the SBC EX 5.5 Chiller. The Vipros 357 Queen should be supplied from a power line separate from those for welding machines or other machines that produce electrical noise.
75 psi @ 31.8 ft /min. Installing the Pneumatic Supply The Vipros 357 Queen requires connection to a compressed air system by hose or pipe. The compressed air must be clean and dry. Please note the following: The minimum pipe inside diameter is ½".
The Vipros 357 Queen and Fanuc 18PC control must be protected from direct sunlight or other heat sources. Exposure to direct heating sources such as infrared heaters have been shown to affect punch and die alignment.
1 hp single phase SBC EX 5.5Chiller Placement The SBC EX 5.5 Chiller is very important to the reliable operation of the Vipros 357 Queen. The SBC EX 5.5 Chiller must be placed so that an adequate flow of air is maintained.
Foundation Requirements The Vipros 357 Queen does not require a special foundation to perform as expected, however there are minimum requirements that an existing floor must meet in order to assure machine reliability and tool life. If the existing floor does not meet the following minimum requirements, plans for a recommended foundation are given on page 23, Plan View - Foundation .
The foundation must consist of a single, homogeneous slab. The foundation must be level to within 0.032" / ft. Anchoring the Vipros 357 Queen to the floor using the anchor-bolts supplied is essential to ensure reliable performance. Amada generally recommends that the foundation have a minimum load bearing capacity of 3.5 ton/ft .
Step 3. Set the machine on the machine leveling plates. Step 4 Level the machine frame by adjusting the Amada machine leveling plates. See Leveling the Machine section for correct procedure. Print Date 01/24/2001 Revision 4.0 This document available on the World Wide Web at http://www.amada.com...
Removing the Protective Coating The Vipros 357 Queen must be thoroughly cleaned of protective coating. The sheet metal guards can be removed from around the turret to allow cleaning of the upper and lower turrets, tool bores and die holders.
