the milling machine and other property and the functionality of the milling machine may be compromised. 1.6.2 Authorized personnel WARNING! Inappropriate operation and maintenance of the machine constitutes a danger for personnel, property and the environment. Only authorized personnel may operate the machine! Authorized operating and maintenance personnel are specialists instructed and trained by the operator and the manufacturer.
Page 12
Safety measures during operation CAUTION! Danger due to inhaling dust and mist that are hazardous to health. Depending on the materials to be machined and the agents used, dusts and mists can arise that are detrimental to health. Ensure that the harmful dust and mist generated are safely sucked off at the point of origin and routed away from the working area or filtered.
Page 13
1.9.1 Emergency stop button CAUTION! The spindle continues to rotate for a while, depending on the moment of inertia of the spindle and the tool in use. The emergency stop button brings the machine to a standstill. Emergency stop Turn the knob to the right to unlock and hit switch release the emergency stop button.
Page 14
1.9.4 Separation guard Adjust the guard to the correct height before you start working. To do so, slacken the clamping screw, set the required height and re-tighten the clamping screw. There is a switch integrated in the spindle protection mounting which monitors the closed position.
Page 15
1.11 Personal protective equipment For certain work, personal protective equipment is required. Protect your face and your eyes: Wear a safety helmet with facial protection when performing work where your face and eyes are exposed to hazards. Wear protective gloves when handling pieces with sharp edges. Wear safety shoes when you assemble, disassemble or transport heavy components.
Page 16
1.14 Using lifting equipment WARNING! The use of unstable lifting and load suspension equipment that might break under load can cause severe or fatal injuries. Check that the lifting and load suspension equipment are of sufficient load-bearing capability and are in perfect condition. Observe the accident prevention regulations issued by your Employers Liability Insurance Association or other supervisory authorities applicable to your company.

Delivery, interdepartmental transport, assembly and commissioning Notes on transport, installation, commissioning Improper transport, installation and commissioning is liable to accidents and can cause damage or malfunctions to the machine for which we do not assume any liability or guarantee. Transport the scope of delivery secured against shifting or tilting with a sufficiently dimensioned industrial truck or a crane to the installation site.
Page 21
Scope of delivery INFORMATION The milling machine is delivered pre-assembled. Check the milling machine immediately after delivery for transport damage, missing parts and loose locking bolts. Compare the scope of delivery with the attached packing list. Set-up and assembly 3.3.1 Installation site requirements The workplace for operating, maintenance and repair must not be restricted.

Only use the tool holders (e.g. drill chuck) which were delivered with the machine or which are offered as optional equipment by OPTIMUM. Only use tool holders in the intended admissible speed range. Tool holders may only be modified in compliance with the recommendation of OPTIMUM or the clamping device manufacturer. Cleaning and lubrication ...

Electrical connection The machine is installed and ready to operate. Please verify if the type of current, voltage and protection fuse correspond to the values specified. A protective earth ground wire connection must be available. Main Fuse 16A. Due to the design, the leakage current is greater than 3,5 mA.
Page 25
3.7.1 Regulated drives in connection with residual current devices Speed-controlled drives are one of the standard equipment in machine and plant construction and perform various tasks. Compared to a simple motor, the electronic rectifiers or converters require some special features for the necessary safety measures for electrical safety. Depend- ing on the application, the use of a fault current protection device, differential current monitor- ing or insulation monitoring can make more sense.
Page 26
To avoid an operating fault, you need an AC/DC-sensitive ELCB. Be absolutely sure which leakage current security is necessary for dangerous body currents, as regulated in DIN VDE 0100 part 410, at your mains connection. 3.7.4 When the ELCB triggers Pulse current - sensitive ELCB type A...

Inserting the tool 4.8.1 Quick-change clamping system The milling head is equipped with a collet chuck for tight- ening with pull stud BT30x45 °. Tightening pull stud into the taper. Clean the seat in the milling spindle. Clean the cone of your tool.
Page 31
4.8.4 Quill clamp - MH 25PV CAUTION! Unintentional or possible loosening of the collet of the quick-change device at high milling forces. The spacer on the milling chuck guard prevents unintentional loosening of the tool. When milling, also use the quill clamp (1) to secure the quill firmly in one place.
Page 32
4.10 Clamping the workpieces CAUTION! Injuries can be caused by parts flying off. The workpiece must always be secured to the milling table in a machine vice, chuck or with another suitable clamping tool, such as clamping claws. 50 50 Img.4-6: Milling table 4.11...

4.12 Selecting the speed The correct speed is an important factor for milling. The speed determines the cutting speed by which the cutting edges cut the material. The service life of the tool can be increased and the working result optimized by selecting the correct cutting speed. The ideal cutting speed basically depends on the workpiece and the tool material.

Inspection and maintenance The type and level of wear depends to a large extent on the individual usage and operating conditions. Any indicated intervals therefore are only valid for the corresponding approved conditions. Interval Where? What? How? Safety check on page 14 Start of work, after every main- tenance or repair...
Page 37
Interval Where? What? How? Increased play in the milling head spindle can be reduced by adjusting the spindle nut. The spindle nuts are reset by reducing the thread flanks of the spindle nut with two take-up screws. After the reset, it is necessary to check if there is still smooth movement over the entire path, otherwise wear is considerably increased due to friction between the spindle nut and the spindle.

Interval Where? What? How? Increased play in the milling table spindles can be reduced by resetting the spindle nuts. The spindle nuts are reset by reducing the thread flanks of the spindle nut by means of a take-up screw. After the reset, it is necessary to check if there is still smooth movement over the entire path, otherwise wear is considerably increased due to friction between the spindle nut and the spindle.
Page 39
Interval Where? What? How? Turn the take-up screws of the gib clockwise. The gib is pushed further inward thus reducing the play in the guide rail. Check the settings. The corresponding guide rail must be more easily movable but ensure stable guidance. Reset When necessary X axis...
