4.3 Overtravel Protectiona And Release

4.3.1 Overtravel Protection

There is a travel limit switch at each end of the travel of servo axis, which is

used to prevent from damaging the linear axis mechanism arising from

collision. When the mechanism touches the travel limit switch, the hard

overtravel protection will occur. When the hardware overtravel protection of

an axis occurs (the indicator light of "Overtravel release" lights up), the

system regards its status as the emergency stop and the machine tool stops

operation.

This system also can set software overtravel protection through parameters

100006, 100007, 101006, 101007, 102006 and 102007. That is, when the

machine tool runs beyond the parameter setup range, the machine tool gives an

alarm and stops operation.

 Under jog (handwheel) mode, enable the axis to exit the overtravel

status in the reverse direction;

 While the machine tool is moving to exit the overtravel status, please be

sure to pay attention to movement direction and movement speed in

order to avoid collision;

 If "Overtravel release" key is released, "Error" in the operating state bar

changes to "Normal", which means the normal work is restored and

operation can be resumed.

4.4 Emergency Stop

4.4.1 Feed Hold

Press

[Feed hold] button when the machine tool runs the program

automatically to suspend the machining program. But it cannot be stopped

immediately while a threading program is being executed.

103

4.4.2 Reset

When the system is in the alarm state, the coordinate axis moves abnormally,

the output is abnormal or the input needs to exit, user can press the "reset"

button to make the system in the reset state. The system "reset" status is as

follows:

 All axes stop running (except during threading);

 M and S function output is invalid;

 Stop automatic operation and hold modal function.

Besides, validation of some parameters is "Effective after reset". Press Reset to

validate these parameters after they are input and saved.

4.4.3 Emergency Stop

When the machine tool is running, in case of danger or an emergency, press

"Emergency stop" button, the CNC system enters emergency stop status, and

servo feed and spindle rotation stop immediately (the feed drive power supply

in the control cabinet is cut off); release "Emergency stop" (rotate right this

button), and the system enters reset status.

Before emergency stop is released, confirm whether fault cause has been

eliminated. After emergency stop is released, re-execute returning to the

reference point in order to ensure correctness of coordinate position.

Note:

 Press "Emergency stop" to reduce electric shock of device before

power-on and power-off.

104

5 Manual Operation and Speed Override

5.1 Manual Reference Point Return

The precondition for controlling movement of the machine tool is to establish

the machine tool coordinate system. For this purpose, return all axes of the

machine tool to the reference point after the system is powered on and reset.

The methods are as follows:

direction

Note:

 When the machine tool is configured with the absolute encoder motor,

the system needs not return to the reference point;

 While returning to the reference point, [Axis feed] key is determined

according to “Reference point return direction” parameters (100011,

101011 and 102011).

 Press axis direction selection keys (X, Y and Z) simultaneously to return

axes (X, Y and Z) to the reference point;

 After all axes return to the reference point, as long as the servo drive

device does not give an alarm during operation, the reference point

return doesn’t need to perform when other alarms are issued (including

pressing emergency stop button);

 When zero pulse of the motor and mounting position of the travel

switch are too small, reference point return may be inaccurate, and there

is often a distance roughly equal to 1 screw pitch. At this time, it is

necessary to move the travel switch for a certain distance.

105

5.2 Move Coordinate Axis By Manual Feed

In this mode, movement of the coordinate axis can be controlled continuously.

Generally it is used for machining of simple parts. Press 【Jog】 working

mode key, [Axis feed] key and [Feedrate override] key on the control panel to

move coordinate axis of the machine tool manually.

corresponding machine tool axis moves continuously. Release it, the

indicator light lights off, and the machine tool stops moving;

 Press multiple [Axis feed] keys simultaneously in Jog mode, the

5.4 Move Coordinate Axis By Handwheel

In this mode, the axis can be moved continuously and quantitatively. It is

often used for tool setting or magazine commissioning and other operations

to control accurate positioning of machine tool.

 The handwheel should rotate at the speed of no greater than 5r/s. If the

handwheel rotates too fast, the movement distance is not equal to the

pulse count of handwheel, or the feed axis cannot stop immediately

when the handwheel stops rotating.

5.7 Speed Override

5.7.1

Feedrate Override

Under auto mode or MDI operation mode, when the feedrate specified by F

command is too high or too low, rotate the feedrate override switch to adjust

the feedrate in the program. Override range: 0%-120%.

If the feedrate is not designated in the automatic operational program and

"Manual MS" function is not enabled, the system runs as per the set value of

channel parameter "Default feedrate" 040030. If "Manual MS" function is

enabled, the system runs as per the speed configured in "Manual MS" and the

feedrate override in the operational process is valid.

Under manual continuous feed mode, the manual feedrate can be adjusted by

this switch, and the system runs as per the set value of axis parameter

"Low-speed jog speed" 100032 (X axis), 101032 (Y axis) and 102032 (Z axis).

Note:

 When this knob is turned to 0, the feedrate override is 0, and rapid

traverse override rate changes to 0 temporarily. If the feedrate override is

changed to a non-zero value, the rapid traverse override recovers to the

original value;

 Feedrate override is invalid during rigid tapping machining, the program

runs with the original speed;

5.7.2 Rapid Traverse Speed Override

When a program runs under auto or MDI mode, G00 speed of X, Y and Z

axes is set by "Maximum rapid traverse speed" parameters 100034, 101034

and 102034;

Under jog rapid traverse mode, the jog rapid traverse speed can be

111

regulated by "Rapid traverse override". Manual rapid traverse speed of X,

Y and Z axes is set by "High speed jog speed" parameters 100033, 101033

and 102033;

The rapid traverse block in jog rapid traverse, G00 rapid traverse and

canned cycle, G28, and G29 can increase and decrease by 10% by "Rapid

traverse magnification", and the override range is 0%-100%.

Note:

 As requested by some users, rapid traverse override of some systems is

set as follows: When rapid traverse override is set as 0%, the actual

rapid traverse is 2%. Actual rapid traverse override is 0% only when the

feedrate override is also 0.

6 Program Edit and Management

6.1 Program Search

HNC-808DiM system has the program search function under

"Machining" function set and "Program" function set, but usage of

programs found under the two function sets is different. Programs found

under "Machining" function set are used for machining program loading,

program backstage editing and other operations; while programs searched

under "Program" function set are used for program management

including program copy, paste and delete and program transmission

among different disks,etc.
