Test Of Spindle And Cooling - CS-Lab CSMIO/IP-M User Manual

11.4 Test of spindle and cooling.

At this stage, almost all major elements of the system were set and the tool machine is almost ready to
work. One important issue left – spindle test.
Mach should be in the active mode. The quickest way to test the
spindle is MDI mode. In the top bar press MDI. This mode lets you to
manual enter G-Code commands:
Enter S command, type requested spindle revs e.g.
•
„S2000" – that is 2000 rpm speed. Approve with <enter>.
Enter M3 command (right revs) and approve with
•
<enter>. The spindle should start turning right with
requested speed.
Enter M5 command (stopping) and approve with <enter>. The spindle should stop.
•
Enter M4 command (left revs) and approve with <enter>. The spindle should start turning left
•
with requested speed.
Stop with M5 command.
•
• Turn on cooling with M7, turn off - M30.
Turn on cooling M8, turn off - M30.
•
It is good to check various values of the revs. If you do not use the inverter-braking resistor it may turn out
that, while braking at high revs speed – the inverter will report an error. Then you will have to get a resistor
or lengthen braking time.
In case of any problems, check again configuration settings and eventually the inverter settings. Usually
the inverters have various control modes. Without proper configuration, the inverter will not respond for
outside signals.
Before switching on the spindle make sure if there is no loose collet. While braking at high revs speed the
tightening nut may unscrew and rotating collet may cause injury risk.
