VMC Series Preface

China Czecho Vertical Machining Center Works XI

Flammable and incendiary materials such as dilute agent, gasoline, paper, wood, cloth,fiber, and aerosol sprays are not allowed around or near the machine (including powercables and connection cables). These materials may be iginted by the heat of the chipsand sparks.

Warning

Guard against fire when using flammable work-pieces.

They should be processed with appropriate tools on appropriate conditions. On theprocessing conditions that are not suitable with worn tools may cause fire due to heat incutting. Moreover, the sparks caused by broken tools that splash onto the chip maycause fire. Please refer to the information provided by the tool manufacturers toperform processing with appropriate tools and on appropriate conditions.

The machine must be stopped when the tool is damaged. Otherwise, the residual toolsin the work-piece and the Z-axis (spindle nose) may produce sparks due to friction, andthereby lead to a fire of chips.

Do not use the machine with sparks splashing. Otherwise fire may happen. Proceduresand various types of settings should be fully confirmed in advance to make sure themovements, eliminating the interference between the fixtures in order to avoidimposing heavy loads to the tools.

Chips should be cleaned. If the internal chips stack inside the machine, the potential fire

danger will increase. Cleaning should be conducted on a regular basis, so as not toremove chip stacking.

Oil mist and dust are not allowed around the machine. Otherwise, fire will be causeddue to sparks.

Warning

While processing a plammable work-piece, machine state should always monitored incase of fire for appropriate and timely measures.

A fire extinguisher is ncessary nearby for a sudden event of fire. Moreover, it isrecommended that an automatic fire extinguisher be installed on the machine.

The material that is suitible for the automative fire extinguisher is as follows. Materialsother than the followings may not be sensitive to the automative fire extinguisher. Resin;

Foam resin; Sawdust; Cotton; Water-soluble cutting liquid; Non-water-soluble flammable liquids (gasoline, lamp oil, cutting oil, machine oil,and lubricants. Almost all the non-water-soluble hazardous material).

Clean regularly the piping and wiring (especially the sensor and nozzle) within theautomatic fire extinguisher. Of particular note is that the chips and cuting liquidattached to the sensor and nozzle will affect the sensing of the occurrence of fire andthe spraying of liquid.

The use of the machine should be instantly stopped in the event the power cable andthe connection cable are damaged. Otherwise, electric shocks or fire may happen.Before the replacement of the damaged cable by the maintenance staff, the machinemay not be used.

There must be enough space around the cable clip. If the ceiling, walls, beams, and

other items (such as customer-owned roof that is different from the genuine FANUCproduct, etc.) of the building where the machine is set in are too close to the cable, thepossibility of fire and electric shock may increase when the power cord in the cable clipis broken.

Adequate coolant should always be guaranteed. Inadequate coolant may cause rise oftemperature that leads to fire or damage to the tools and work-pieces.

The roof is recommended. The roof is for the following purpose: in case of fire, theroof is able to prevent the fire from spreading to the ceiling of the building and reducethe spread speed; the roof also reduce the amount of oxygen within the cutting lquidbaffle plate to accelerate the extinguishing of fire to promote the effectiveness of theautomatic fire extinguisher.

Even for heavy objects of 2.5t, the ground will not be deformed and therewill not be any problem; The floor should be leveled without any uplift or depression; The floor should be very hard, and even if imposed with 1.5 Mpa(15kgf/cm), the floor will not deform; The floor should be flat; The floor should not deteriorate with the passage of time; The floor should not deteriorate with changes in the environment due today-to-day use.

Confirm that the Z axis (spindle nose) wont descend before opening the protectivedoor. In some extreme cases, the Z axis may descend due to failure of the Z axis brake.It is necessary to notice if the Z axis descend after opening the protective door. Theoperation below the Z axis requires a wood block that is placed between the workingtable and the Z axis in case of failures to support the Z axis from descending.

Confirm if the spindle has stopped before opening the protective door while the poweris off. When disconnecting the power in the rotation of the axis, due to the inability tocontrol and stop the spindle, which will continue to rotate because of inertia, the chipsmay fly out, or injuries may happen if touching the spindle.

Pay attention to the descending of the Z axis (spindle nose) when disassembling the Z

axis motor. When the motor is being disassembled, the Z axis may descend because thebrake integrated in the motor is also removed. This may lead to injuries by beingcaught. For the removal of the motor, binds can be employed to fix the working tableand the Z axis.

For the first time using the embedded Ethernet function, please contact your networkadministrator for advice, and pay attention to the IP address settings and make fullcommunication tests.

1.2 Programming

1.2.1 Spindle Function (S Function)

Method to specify spindle velocity with the code

Enter a code signal or read pulse signal by specifying a value following

address S, and in this way, the spindle velocity on one side of the machine

can be controlled.

Only one S code can be specified for one segment. When move command

and S code command are present simultaneously in a segment, the

execution sequence is different following two statements below.

1. PMC parameter K17.5=1

Parameter No.3708.0=1No.3740=50 No.4022=150

S code execute first until the spindle speed reach the

injunction speed then execute move command.

2. PMC parameter K17.5=0

Parameter No.3708.0=0No.3740=0 No.4022=0

S code and move command will be execute at the same time.

1.2.2 Auxiliary Function (M Function)

General

There are two kinds of auxiliary functions available: auxiliary function (M

code) used to specify spindle start/stop, program ending, etc; auxiliary

function (B code) used to specify positioning of index working table.

If a value following Address M is specified, a code signal and a gating

pulse signal will be sent. All there signals are used to control power

ON/OFF of the machine.

In appendix, there is M CODES LIST indicating the Corresponding

relationship between M codes and function.

Except M98, M99 and M198M codes (parameters No.60716079) used

to call one subprogram and M codes (parameters No.60806089) used to

call one assigned macro, all M codes shall be operated in the machine.

Explanation:

M codes possess following special meanings:

- M02, M30 (a program ends)

The codes show the ending of main program.

Under this status, automatic operation will be stopped and CNC device will

be reset. After a segment of the specified program has been executed,

re-return to the beginning of the program.Parameter M02 (No.3404#5) or M30 (No.3404#4) can be used to make

M02 or M30 not return to the beginning of the program.

- M00 (a program stops)

After a specified program segment M00 has been executed, automatic

operation will be stopped.

While the program is stopped, all existing modal information will be saved.

And then it is able to re-execute automatic operation by starting automatic

operation.

- M01 (optional stop)


45/257



It is similar to M00and after a specified program segment M01 has been

executed, automatic operation will be stopped. However, the code is only

valid when the switch [ACTIVAE M01] for optional stop on the operation

panel is set to ON.

- M98 (calling a subprogram)

The code can be used to call a subprogram.

Code signal and gating pulse signal will not be sent.

- M99 (a subprogram ends)

The codes show a subprogram ends.

While M99 is being executed, it is able to return to main program. Code

signal and gating pulse signal will not be sent.

- M198 (calling a subprogram)

The code can be used to call a subprogram from a file in the external

input/output function.

Notes:

Generally, only one M code can be specified to one program segment.

However, if the parameter M3B (No.3404#7) is set to 1up to three M

codes can be specified in one program segment, and the three M codes will

be output to the machine simultaneously. Compared with the status thatonly one M code is specified in one program, machining cycle of the

machine can be shortened.

Explanation:

CNC allows up to three M codes to be set in one program segment.

However, due to operation limit of the machine, some M codes cannot be

specified at the same time. Never specify M00, M01, M02, M30, M98,

M99, and M198 with other M codes simultaneously. Some M codes

different from M00, M01, M02, M30, M98, M99 and M198 can not be

specified with another M code, and some M code must be specified in a

single program segment. M06 must be specified separately. On the contrary,

several M codes not used to execute a certain internal CNC operation after

sending an M code signal to the machine can be specified in a single

segm
