System information
SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION
Max Feed with Door Open The maximum speed the machine can move with the door
open with the Door-Override Button pressed
Soft Start Delay (secs) Time delay before allowing axis movement after the
machine is reset.
The software that relates to European codes concerns a safety door open switch. Below is a
description of how the software operates relating to the Set Up button and the software
parameters.
If only the door open switch is enabled
When the door opens, it shuts the spindle off and feedholds the machine. When the door is open,
the spindle will not start. When the door is open, the machine will not do an MDI move, will not
jog, and will not do a move in run mode; however, it will handwheel. The machine will do I/O
related functions other than turning on the spindle (i.e. arm-in, drawbar, etc.) If the machine is
tapping and the doors open, the machine will finish the tap, feedhold, and stop the spindle.
If the doors are opened while the machine is running:
1 The spindle will shut off.
2 The axis will stop moving.
3 The feedhold light will come on.
4 The spindle will not restart.
To continue operation:
1 Close the doors (Cycle Start will flash).
2 Push the CW button on the front panel (the spindle will restart).
3 Push the Cycle Start Button on the front panel (Cycle Start will stop flashing
and the Feedhold light will go out).
If the machine is not running and the spindle is not running, opening the doors should have no
effect on the machine. However, the Feedhold light will come on.
If the door open switch is enabled and the European code is enabled
When the door opens, which does so by pressing the door open button, the spindle shuts off as
well as feedholds the machine. When the door is open, the spindle will not start. When the door
is open, the machine will not do an MDI command; it will not jog nor will it start running a
program; however, it will handwheel. If the machine is tapping and the doors open, the machine
will finish the tap and then feedhold and stop the spindle.
If the door is open, the machine will allow the tool changer to index only one position at a time
using the tool changer utility or the tool setting utility.
If the door is open and Setup is held in, the machine will jog up to the Max Feed with Door
Open (ipm) parameter.
