    31.03.2021 Glossary KOMflex adjustment range The KOMflex can be adjusted between -0.25 mm and +0.25 mm in relation to the central position of the slide. Centre position definition The centre position (CP) is the central position of the slide (zero point).
  • Page 10: Reinitialisation

    Reinitialisation During reinitialisation, the KOMflex precision spindle head is reverted to its initial state. This means that the KOMflex travels to the VIP and the radius wear in the tool table is reset to 0. (See section 8.3) cuttingtools.ceratizit.com Classification: Öffentlich...
  • Page 11: System Overview

    • Any measuring unit, e.g. measuring probe The automatic KOMflex compensation system enables process-secure boring of holes and pins on a machine tool. The finished hole is measured with any measuring unit and compared to the target dimension. The precision spindle head then automatically corrects the set value deviation. To do so the dimension to be adjusted is transferred from the NC to the IF20 Interface via Ethernet or field bus.
  • Page 12: Description Of The Rc66 Wireless Receiver

    KOMflex mode In KOMflex mode, the MODE LED (1a) and the RX LED (1d) light up steady green and the BATTERY LED (1b) is inactive. The display indicators can be found in the following table. This mode can be activated with the SET_KOMFLEX_MODE command.
  • Page 13: Pairing Mode

    (1d, 1e) indicate that data is being transferred. Once a KOMflex has been successfully taught-in, the BATTERY and the STATUS LED (1b, 1c) flash green. If pairing fails, due to timeout or a problem with the data transfer or an incorrect device type, for...
  • Page 14: Description Of The Komflex Precision Spindle Head

    The automatic precision spindle head communicates with the BLUM RC66 wireless interface and forms a closed-loop operation (process, measure, correct, process) in conjunction with any measuring unit. Therefore, the KOMflex enables automatic diameter correction for precision holes. Technical data ABS 32 / Ø...
  • Page 15: Komflex System Description

    LED status (3x 120° = 360°) ⑪ Balance compensation Required accessories To operate the KOMflex in manual mode and to teach-in the precision spindle head on the machine tool, a magnetic pen or comparable magnet is required. Magnetic pen Magnet cuttingtools.ceratizit.com...
  • Page 16: Description Of The Komflex Modes

    To operate the KOMflex in manual mode, for example on the presetting equipment, the precision spindle head must be in standby mode (all KOMflex LEDs off). The user can then activate manual mode with a prolonged touch of the "MODE" sensor with the magnetic pen. When the magnetic pen is removed from the sensor and the LEDs change from yellow to orange, "Manual adjustment"...
  • Page 17: Automatic Adjustment Via Nc Cycle

    Successful teach-in of the precision spindle head is the prerequisite for automatic operation of the KOMflex, see section 8.2.4. In standby mode (all KOMflex LEDs off), "Automatic adjustment" mode can be activated via the computerised numerical control (CNC). In this state, the precision spindle head indicates the key statuses via flashing LEDs.
  • Page 18: Emergency Shutdown

    31.03.2021 Emergency shutdown If the KOMflex is in an active state, but does not receive any commands from the interface IF20, the head is deactivated after a timeout of 5 minutes and goes into standby mode. Possible scenarios in which an emergency shutdown may occur •...
  • Page 19: Indicating The Basic Settings

    (3 x MODE - SET) Standby Standard settings The KOMflex is always ready for re-activation in standby mode. If the KOMflex: Is outside the reception range of the wireless receiver, the system goes into EcoMode. Is within the reception range, it is always ready for re-activation.
  • Page 20: Manually Configuring The Basic Settings

    The basic settings can be changed in this mode. Note The magnetic pen is needed to operate the KOMflex in this section. 1. Remove the batteries. 2. After 30 seconds, re-insert the batteries in the battery compartment. Pay attention to the battery polarity.
  • Page 21: Mounting

    The balancing ring must not be clamped on the blue jacket or in the radio range. 7.4.2 Tools with ABS connection All existing ABS32 tools for fine machining can also be used in conjunction with the KOMflex precision spindle head.
  • Page 22: Coolant

    KOMflex precision spindle head Operating instructions V1.1 31.03.2021 7.4.4 Coolant The precision spindle head has a thro' coolant supply. Usage of the central coolant supply is mandatory and ensures optimal chip formation and chip removal. The coolant pressure must not fall below the minimum level of 5 bar. An increase in coolant pressure to 10-20 bar improves the machining process and should therefore be the aim.
  • Page 23: Commissioning The Komflex

    8 Commissioning the KOMflex Presetting equipment Before the KOMflex precision spindle head can be taught-in with the IF20 and therefore initialised, the VIP must be approached in manual mode, on the presetting equipment for example. This step always needs to be carried out if: •...

    Parameter Explanation KFID ID number with which teach-in was carried out for the KOMflex. Up to 16 KOMflex can be taught-in with an RC66. |1| <= KFID <= |16| The teach-in process can be skipped for an already taught-in KOMflex with negative KFID.
  • Page 28: Teaching In The Komflex

    8.2.4 Teaching in the KOMflex In this phase, a non-taught-in KOMflex can be taught-in in IF20 or an already taught-in KOMflex can be initialised. This means that the position of the head at the moment of teach-in is saved. If the precision spindle head used has already been taught-in on the machine and pairing is not to take place again, then this step can be skipped.
  • Page 29: Correction In Automatic Mode

    8.2.5 Correction in automatic mode In this cycle, the KOMflex is automatically readjusted in the process. To correct the measured value, the difference to the set value must be written in the wear parameter of the tool table for the relevant KOMflex, using measurement software.
  • Page 30: Manually Switching Off

    Reinitialisation of the KOMflex During reinitialisation, the KOMflex can move back to its original position, set during teach-in (position for a trial cut). This can be done manually in the case of an insert change or automatically if the wear limit is reached.
  • Page 31: Extension Of The Machine With Further Komflex

    31.03.2021 Extension of the machine with further KOMflex To integrate a new KOMflex into the machine, the program must be extended with a new BKF_USERPARATABn, whereby n is the KOMflex ID. This allows the system to be extended with ease, without losing clarity.
