1 General Information These operating instructions describe the functions of the "UT-300" touchscreen control that can be used for swivel milling machines of types 245 | 100, 245 | 200 and 245 | 300. Remark: This manual only describes the functions for the user level of a machine operator. Fur- ther resp.
3 Menu Icon Overview Depending on the mask, different menu icons appear for the required functions. This compact overview and describes the functions of the menu icons: Action 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.
4 Start Screen If the machine is not equipped with option 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 employers' liability insurance association Training with all safety-relevant information and instructions can be viewed here.
5 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"...
6 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. Positioning sequence The positioning sequence is the same for all moving axes (see chapter ...
7 Machine Fences Different types of fences are used depending on the machine type: Fence 302 (Machine Type 245/100 and 245/200) With this type, the total and partial fence must be adjusted manually. For adjustment, two hand lever screws are loosened, and the fence is adjusted by means of a hand wheel. If the fence has been positioned at the desired position, the two hand lever screws must be tightened again.
7.4.3 How to change the battery Failure of the position indicator Improper installation leads to loss of protection class. • Tighten screws evenly until the battery unit is completely at the stop with the housing • Check the correct position of the O-ring Preparation: 1.
8 Setup Menu (only for machines without optional access control) 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 8: Main screen with "Setup menu”...
9 Positioning Parameters Speed To specify the rotary speed of the milling cutter in the range from 1,500 to 10,000 rpm: Figure 10: Speed setting for milling cutter Action Function Confirmation of the setting Start milling cutter at new speed ("Switch on milling cutter" button) Remark: When the spindle is rotating, the speed can only be corrected downwards! The nominal speed specified when starting the spindle is defined as the "Software Limit"...
Height Offset Input of the effective height (incl. calculation of the tool, etc.) in the range from 0 to 125 mm: Figure 12: Effective height (incremental) The setting range depends on the inserted tool and is also calculated accordingly (see display "min" and "max"). Action Function →...
Height Abs Setting of the absolute height in the range from 0 to 125: Figure 13: Absolute height Action Function → Confirmation of input + positioning enable The positioning button flashes BA_PH_UT300_EN_18-21.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 is ± 45.5°. Figure 14: Swivel angle for the milling spindle Action Function → Confirmation of input + positioning enable The positioning button flashes BA_PH_UT300_EN_18-21.docx...
Fence Abs This mask is used to enter the absolute fence position in mm. In addition, the compensation dimension for the partial fence can be set here: Figure 15: Absolute fence Action Function → Confirmation of input + positioning enable The positioning button flashes Set axis to 0 (Reset)
Fence Inc This mask is used to enter an incremental fence position in mm: Figure 16: Incremental fence Action Function → Confirmation of input + positioning enable The positioning button flashes Switch to absolute mode "Fence Abs” Swivel-away devices: see section BA_PH_UT300_EN_18-21.docx...
Swivel-away Devices (Option) 9.7.1 Fence Types 302, 311 and 320 The button in the masks "Fence Abs" and "Fence Inc" is used for the swivel-away devices: Pressing this button releases the clamping motors of the fence for the milling plate (only for fence type 320).
10 Machine Parameters After opening the machine parameters by using the "Machine" button, the following screen appears: Figure 18: Main menu of machine parameters The six blue main buttons can be used to make the respective settings. This mask also serves as an overview of all adjustable machine parameters during regular operation.
List of Tools After selecting the "Tools" button, an overview of all existing tools appears. Note: If no tools have yet been created, this list is empty. Figure 19: Tool overview Action Function With this button a new tool can be created. Manual mode: Discards all loaded tool and program parameters.
Create a Tool Up to 500 tools can be stored in the program memory of the UT-300 unit. Select to create a new tool: Figure 20: Creating a tool Fill in all relevant fields (see table below) by tapping in the respective column one after the other and finally confirm the entries with "Enter".
Edit an Existing Tool To edit an existing tool, go to the tool list and select the line of the tool to be changed. This line is now highlighted in light blue: Figure 21: Edit an existing tool / select line Then press the button and change the desired parameters by overwriting them with the new values.
Create a Program for a Tool The UT-300 control allows you to assign up to 100 different programs to each existing tool. In a pro- gram the parameters Speed, Angle, Height, Fence, Partial Fence as well as the Reference point of the tool “Datum”...
The name of the program and all relevant parameters can be entered in the now appearing mask: Figure 24: Program settings for tool The "Program No." is assigned automatically (in ascending order). The "Tool Type" is not editable be- cause it has already been selected before. Now use the corresponding fields and enter a unique name in the "Name"...
