General Information These operating instructions describe the functions of the "UT-300" touchscreen control that can be used for Tilting Spindle Moulders of types 245|100, 245|200 and 245|300. Remark: This manual only describes the functions for the user level of a machine operator.
Menu Button Overview Depending on the mask, different menu buttons appear for the required functions. The following overview describes the functions of the menu buttons: Button Function Tap the Hokubema logo to display the current time instead of the logo. Touching the Hokubema logo again returns the window to the logo view.
Start Screen If the machine is not equipped with an optional Machine Access Control “TM-300” (see chapter 5), the following screen appears as start screen after switching on the controller: Figure 1: Start Screen The screen contains three buttons: Button Function The official machine instructions of the German employers' liability insurance asso-...
Machine Access (only with option TM300) User registration In order to work with the UT-300 Ultimo-Touch controller and the machine, the user must first au- thorize himself with the RFID key assigned to him. Figure 2: Machine access: no key Once the appropriate RFID key has been inserted into the RFID reader, the user name appears in the upper left corner of the operator surface (see Figure 3): Figure 3: Machine access: username...
Machine access in the absence of instruction Completed and upcoming trainings and annual machine instructions are stored in the system's data- base. If the target date for the next training resp. instruction has been exceeded, the username on the start screen is highlighted with a red background: Figure 4: Machine access: Training time exceeded As soon as the "Machine"...
General Information on Axis Positioning For safety reasons, the axes are positioned according to the "Hold to Run" principle, which means that the axes are not positioned simultaneously but one after the other - so that always only one axis can be in motion.
Machine Overview After pressing the "Machine" button, the following screen appears: Figure 7: Machine overview mask with tools, axis positions and speed (example 245|300) The six blue main buttons are used to make the respective settings. This mask also serves as an over- view of all adjustable machine settings during regular operation.
Speed Settings Speed Setting with Types 245|200 and 245|300 in the machine overview (see chapter 7), the screen shown below After tapping the symbol appears. Here the rotary speed of the cutter can be set in the range from 1,500 to 10,000 rpm: Figure 8: Speed setting for milling cutter Action Function...
Height and Angle Positioning Height (Offset) Input of the effective height (incl. calculation of the tool, etc.) in the range from 0 to 125 mm: Figure 11: Effective height (incremental) The setting range depends on the inserted tool and is also calculated accordingly (see display "min"...
9.1.2 Calibrate the Tool Height with the Zeromaster Before calibrating with Zeromaster, make sure that the tool angle is set exactly to 0°! Before placing the Zeromaster connected to the machine, the table surface of the machine must be cleaned of dirt, chips and any objects must be removed from the table. Chips and dirt between the Zeromaster and the table surface will falsify the calibration value! Figure 12: Calibrate the tool height with the Zeromaster 1.
Height (Absolute) Setting of the absolute height in the range from 0 to 125 mm: Figure 13: Absolute height Action Function → Confirmation of input + positioning enable The positioning button flashes Move height in manual inching mode (1/10 mm steps) BA_PH_UT300_EN_08-22.docx...
Angle The adjustment of the swivel angle for the milling spindle is made in this mask. • The possible swivel range of the milling spindle for versions 245|200 and 300 is ± 45.5°. • For the version 245|100, the standard range is -5° to +45.5° (optional ± 45.5°). Figure 14: Swivel angle for the milling spindle Action Function...
Fence Positioning Depending on the machine type and equipment, different fence types are used: • Type 301 (standard for machine versions 245|100 and 245|200). → Total fence and partial fence is manually adjustable. • Type 302 (option for machine versions 245|100 and 245|200) →...
10.1.2 Fence Type 301 (Incremental) Switching to the incremental window is done via the button on the handwheel. Figure 16: Fence Type 301 (Incremental) • The mask is used to read the incremental position of the total fence. • It is not possible to specify a target value here. •...
Fence 302 10.2.1 Fence Type 302 (Absolute) With this type, the total fence and the partial fence must be adjusted manually. Before adjustment via handwheel, two hand lever screws must be loosened. After adjustment, the two hand lever screws must be tightened again. Total fence as well as partial fence are each equipped with an indicator on the handwheel and can be read simultaneously on the UT-300 touchscreen controller.
10.2.2 Fence Type 302 (Incremental) Switching to the incremental window is done via the button on the handwheel. Figure 18: Fence Type 302 (Incremental) • No target value setting possible for the total fence in incremental measurement mode. • In order to be able to compensate for the chip removal also in incremental mode, a target value for the partial fence can be entered in the "Part"...
Calibration Value “Spindle Type” for Fences 301 and 302 (from Software Version 3.9.2.5) With this new function it is possible to select the spindle type used and to transmit half the spindle diameter as a calibration value to the handwheel of the fence types 301 and 302. Figure 19: Spindle selection button •...
Fence 311 10.4.1 Fence Type 311 (Absolute) With this type, the total fence can be automatically adjusted and the partial fence manually. Before adjustment, both clamping levers must be released. The total fence can then be positioned automati- cally. Once the stop has been positioned at the setpoint, the two clamping levers must be tightened again.
10.4.2 Fence Type 311 (Incremental) Figure 21: Fence Type 311 (Incremental) • The mask is used to set the target value of the total fence position in incremental mode. • After entering the target value and confirming with , the positioning button flashes. When the positioning button is pressed, the positioning for the total fence is performed automatically, and the current position can be read in the "Actual:"...
Fence 320 With Type 320, the total fence as well as the partial fence can be automatically adjusted and are each clamped electromechanically. To lift the fence, two screws must be loosened and removed manually. 10.5.1 Fence Type 320 (Absolute) Figure 22: Fence Type 320 (Absolute) •...
10.5.2 Fence Type 320 (Incremental) This mask is used to enter an incremental fence position in mm: Figure 23: Fence Type 320 (Incremental) • The mask is used to set the target value of the total fence position in incremental mode. •...
Swivel-away Devices (Option) 10.6.1 Fence Types 301, 302, 311 and 320 The button in the masks "Fence Abs" and "Fence Inc" is used for the swivel-away devices: Press- ing this button releases the clamping motors of the fence for the milling plate (only for fence type 320). Then the message “Remove clamping levers"...

The name of the program and all relevant parameters can be entered in the now appearing mask: Figure 31: Program settings for tool The "Program No. " is assigned automatically and can be renamed if required. The "Tool Type" is not editable because it has already been selected before.
After saving, the screen changes to the program list, where the newly created program is listed : Figure 33: Program list with a stored program 11.4.1 Load program To load a stored program from the program list into the machine, mark the corresponding program line by touching it so that it is highlighted in light blue.
Correct loaded Program In some cases it may be necessary to correct specific settings of a loaded program after a trial milling. As soon as any value of the currently loaded program is changed, a small symbol (see Figure 35) appears next to the tool designation in the machine overview.
Info Window with Status Messages Tapping the symbol opens the info window with relevant status messages, information about the machine, connected hardware and the I/Os: Figure 38: Info window with status messages The info symbol serves additionally to signal the operational readiness: Colour Meaning →...
Setup Menu (without Machine Access Control TM 300) When starting a machine without optional machine access control, the additional field “Setup” appears. On machines with optional machine access control, the master key must be inserted to enable the setup menu. Figure 39: Main screen with "Setup menu”...
