Page 23
-18- FOR SAFE OPERATION WARNING <To prevent starting of the spindle> 1) Unclamp the chuck. 2) Set the spindle speed range to "Neutral". (Applies only to machines equipped with a transmission.) 3) Close the switch covers of the spindle normal rotation and spindle reverse rotation switches.
Page 24
FOR SAFE OPERATION -19- WARNING When mounting a rotary tool holder to the turret head, always mount a tool in the tool holder. If the rotary tool spindle is started while there is no tool mounted in the tool holder, the collet clamping nut will be loosened and the collet clamping nut and collet will fly out during rotation, causing serious injuries or damage to the machine.
Page 25
Workpiece materials and shapes vary widely among machine users. Mori Seiki cannot predict the workpiece clamping method, spindle speed, feedrate, depth of cut, and width of cut, etc., that will be required in each case and it is therefore the user's responsibility to determine the appropriate settings.
Page 26
If the chuck gripping force is reduced due to deterioration over time or damage from an accident or inadequate maintenance, contact Mori Seiki Service Department. To prevent the chuck gripping force from lowering, clean and grease the chuck at regular intervals.
Page 27
-22- FOR SAFE OPERATION If no tool holders for rotary tools are mounted in the turret head, fit covers to the CAUTION rotary tool holder mounting holes after checking that the covers are fitted with O rings. If covers are not fitted, chips and coolant will get inside the turret head and may cause machine faults.
Page 28
FOR SAFE OPERATION -23- Support the workpiece securely before stepping on the chuck clamp/unclamp CAUTION footswitch to remove it. If you step on the footswitch without taking this precaution the workpiece will fall and this could cause damage to the machine. You will probably use a variety of workpiece shapes and materials, and the chucking method will differ according to the workpiece type.
Page 29
If a workpiece holding fixture other than the chuck supplied with the machine is used, be sure to contact Mori Seiki to prevent accidents. Mori Seiki is not responsible for accidents caused by the use of a fixture prepared by the customer without consulting Mori Seiki.
Page 30
If it is necessary to mount a chuck or fixture to hold a workpiece in the chuck or a fixture which is directly mounted to the spindle, contact Mori Seiki or the chuck manufacturer for the measures that should be taken.
Page 31
-26- FOR SAFE OPERATION SAFETY PRACTICES WHEN CHUCKING A WORKPIECE The workpiece gripping capacity of a chuck is lowered as the gripping faces of the chuck jaws become worn. Furthermore, the workpiece holding capacity of the chuck jaws is greatly influenced by the nature of the workpiece.
Page 32
FOR SAFE OPERATION -27- WARNING If a thrust exceeding the allowable cylinder thrust is applied to the chuck, the component parts or bolts of the chuck will be damaged, causing loss of chuck gripping force. If this happens while the spindle is rotating, the workpiece or chuck jaws will fly out, causing serious injuries or damage to the machine.
Page 33
-28- FOR SAFE OPERATION WARNING When clamping a workpiece in a 3-jaw chuck, the workpiece (finished faces) cannot be clamped stably if contact is only made at three points. If a workpiece is machined while clamped in this very unstable way, it may fly out due to cutting resistance, causing serious injuries or damage to the machine.
Page 34
FOR SAFE OPERATION -29- WARNING If there is a gap between the workpiece rear end face and the chuck locator face or the jaw face on which the workpiece should be seated, and the workpiece rotation center line is tilted with respect to the chuck rotation center line, or if the workpiece has burrs on it (cast or forged workpiece), the depth of cut will exceed the planned amount and the cutting force will therefore exceed the workpiece...
Page 35
-30- FOR SAFE OPERATION WARNING When two or more people are involved in workpiece hoisting work, they must cooperate carefully, communicating as fully as possible. If one worker moves a machine element or operates the crane without noticing that there is another worker inside or near the machine, he could seriously injure that worker.
Page 36
Check that appropriate guide bushes are used in the spindle through-hole. If the vibration cannot be eliminated by taking the measures listed above, contact the bar feeder manufacturer or Mori Seiki. If machining is carried out under vibration being generated, this will cause damage to the machine. It will also seriously affect machining accuracy.
Page 37
-32- FOR SAFE OPERATION SAFETY PRACTICES DURING MACHINE OPERATION WARNING Do not insert bar stock into the spindle while the spindle is rotating or you will be entangled in the machine. The length of the bar stock must be shorter than the spindle length unless a bar feeder is used. If the bar stock protrudes from the spindle it will increase spindle runout, and could bend, causing accidents involving serious injuries or damage to the machine.
Page 38
FOR SAFE OPERATION -33- WARNING Some switches have transparent covers to prevent them from being pressed by mistake. Keep these covers closed except when actually pressing the switches. If a switch cover gets broken contact Mori Seiki.

CHUCKING WARNING When mounting or removing the chuck, use eye bolts and a lifting belt, and lift the chuck using a crane. After mounting or removing the chuck, be sure to remove the eye bolts and lifting belt from the chuck.
Page 241
CHUCKING Do not modify the chuck unnecessarily since this will adversely affect accuracy CAUTION and functions and reduce the chuck service life. When stopping the machine for a long time after switching the power off, always remove the workpiece in the chuck. If the workpiece is left held in the chuck after the power has been switched off, its weight will cause the soft jaws to open and the workpiece will fall, causing injuries or damage to the machine.
CHUCKING ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE This section describes the procedure used for adjusting the chucking pressure and the tailstock spindle thrust (tailstock spindle specification). WARNING The allowable chucking pressure must be set to a value lower than the cylinder pressure that generates the cylinder thrust allowable for the chuck, or the allowable cylinder pressure, whichever is the lower.
