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

12.4 Test of spindle and cooling.

At this stage, almost all major elements of the system were set and a machine is almost ready to work.
One important issue left – spindle test. Treatment with non-rotating spindle is generally not a good idea.
Mach should be in active mode. The quickest way to test the spindle is
MDI mode. In the top bar press MDI. This mode lets you to enter G-
Code commands manually:
Enter S command, with requested spindle revs e.g.
•
„S2000" – that is 2000 rpm speed. Approve with <enter>.
Enter M3 command (right revs) and approve with <en-
•
ter>. The spindle should start rotate 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 rotate 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 revs values and revs change from maximal revs to very low. If you do not use a
braking resistor at inverter it may turn out that, when braking at high revs speed – the inverter will report
an error. Then you have to get yourself a resistor or lengthen the braking time.
In case of any problems, check again configuration settings and eventually the inverter settings. Almost
always the inverters have various control modes. Without proper configuration, the inverter will not re-
spond to outside signals.
Before spindle activation make sure if there is no loose collet. When braking at high revs speed the tight-
ening nut may unscrew and rotating collet may cause injury risk.
