Union BFT130 HBM with Centroid M400 Control

Overview

The machine is a five-axis horizontal boring mill. It can operate in either a horizontal format, or in a vertical format using a right-angle head attached to the spindle face.

In the horizontal milling format, axis movement is as follows:

In the vertical milling format, axis movement is as follows:

Startup

1. Turn on the disconnect switch on the power cabinet
2. Wait for console to boot and display "Home not set"
3. Release Emergency Stop
4. Press the HYDRAULIC PUMP key (Aux1) to start the Hydraulic system
   and headstock lubrication system.
5. Press CYCLE START to find and set machine home

The Machine Home position is with the table fully to the right; head all the way up; saddle away from the column; and, if in the horizontal format, bar fully retracted.

Idle Periods

1. Press Emergency Stop to shut off the hydraulic and lubrication pumps and remove power from the servo and spindle motors.
2. To resume normal operation, release Emergency Stop, then
   press the HYDRAULIC PUMP (Aux1) key to restart the pumps.

Shut Down

1. Press F10/Shutdown
2. Optionally, press F1/Park to move the axes back near the machine home position. This will save time on the next startup and homing sequence.
3. Press Emergency Stop
4. Press F2/PowerOff
5. Wait for CNC console display to go fully blank (about 15 seconds).
6. Turn off the disconnect switch on the power cabinet

Changing Machine Format

The switch between horizontal milling and vertical milling formats is accomplished by swapping control configuration and parameter values, and of course by installing or removing the right-angle head.

After swapping configuration and parameter files, the control must be shut down, powered off, and powered back up in order for the change to take effect.

It will be easier to install and remove the right-angle head while the control is configured for horizontal milling operation. Therefore you should install the right-angle head just before switching the control from horizontal to vertical; and you should remove the right-angle head after switching the control back from vertical to horizontal.

This is because in horizontal mode you can control the bar, as the Z axis. In vertical mode you cannot move the bar.

To Switch to Vertical Mode

1. Install the right-angle head (see below)
2. If you wish, jog the X, Y and W axes close to their home positions.
   Do not use the Park option on the Shutdown screen, as that would retract the bar
3. Press F7/Utility
4. Press F2/Restore Report
5. Arrow down to the [VerticalHorizontalSwitch] folder and press Enter
6. Arrow down to report_0417180586_vertical.zip
7. Press F10/Accept
8. When prompted, shut down; power off; wait 30 seconds; and power back up.

To Switch to Horizontal Mode

1. If you wish, press F10/Shutdown, then F1/Park to move the axes back near their home positions.
2. Return to the main screen and Press F7/Utility
3. Press F2/Restore Report
4. Arrow down to the [VerticalHorizontalSwitch] folder and press Enter
5. Arrow down to report_0417180586_horizontal.zip
6. Press F10/Accept
7. When prompted, shut down; power off; wait 30 seconds; and power back up.
8. Once started up in horizontal mode, release Emergency Stop; start the hydraulic system; and press Cycle Start to home the machine.
9. Remove the right-angle head (see below)

Installing the Right-angle Head

1. Jog the head down to a convenient level
2. Retract the bar (in horizontal mode, press Tool Check)
3. Remove the drive dogs from the spindle nose
4. Jog the saddle in close to the column, so that the right-angle
   head will be over the work table as it is moved into position.
5. Move the right-angle head onto the spindle face and install the four hex-head screws. Torque to __ ft-lbs.
6. Press Alt-D to show Machine coordinates on the control's DRO display
7. Jog the bar out (Z axis, minus direction) to about -18.0 inches
8. Remove the access plug from the side of the right-angle head
9. Using the MPG handwheel pendant (Z axis, x10 increment), move the
   bar until the spindle nose is nearly touching the drive face in
   the right-angle head.
10. Turn the spindle of the right-angle head by hand until its keys line
    up with the notches in the spindle face (where the drive dogs were removed)
11. Once aligned, use the MPG handwheel to jog Z the rest of the way to -19.63 inches.
12. Reinstall the access plug
13. Change the control configuration and parameters over to vertical mode (see above)

Removing the Right-angle Head

1. Change the control configuration and parameters over to horizontal mode (see above)
2. Jog the head down to a convenient level
3. Jog the saddle in close to the column, so that the right-angle
   head will be over the work table as it is removed.
4. Support the right-angle head with the overhead crane
5. Remove the four hex-head screws
6. Remove the right-angle head and set it on its pallet
7. Reinstall the drive dogs in the spindle nose

Work Light

The work light will come on automatically when the machine is powered up.

You can turn the light off and on by pressing the work light (Aux2) key on the jog panel.

Changing Tools in the Horizontal Spindle

The Horizontal spindle has a power-operated drawbar.

To insert a tool:

1. Insert the tool holder in the spindle taper, lining up the notches in the tool holder with the drive dogs on the spindle nose.
2. Press and hold the Tool Clamp button until the tool holder comes up tight.

To remove a tool:

1. Take a firm grip on the tool holder.
2. Press and hold the Tool Unclamp button until the tool holder is free.

Spindle Rotation Controls

You can control spindle rotation speed and direction manually with jog panel keys, or automatically with program codes.

The spindle must be in Auto mode in order to use programmed M and S codes. The spindle must be in Manual mode in order to use the jog panel keys.

Switch between Auto and Manual control modes.

In manual mode, you can control operation and direction with these keys:

	Select spindle forward (CW)
	Select spindle reverse (CCW)
	Start spindle
	Stop spindle

In Auto mode, you can control operation and direction with these codes:

In either mode, you can further control speed with these keys:

	Increase speed
	Set speed to 100% of programmed speed (Auto mode) or to half of maximum speed (Manual mode)
	Decrease speed

Gear Shifters

The machine has a hydraulically shifted 4-speed headstock.

Gear shifting is always done with M functions, either in a CNC program or at the MDI prompt:

In automatic operation, the M3 and M4 codes call M49 at every spindle start, automatically shifting ranges as needed.

You only need to enter M41 - M44 for manual operations.

M41 - M44 require that spindle control be in Auto mode. For use in Manual mode, switch to Auto; run the gear shift M function; and switch back to Manual.

In manual operations, it is possible to run slower than the minimum for each range listed above. For example, the minimum possible speed in high range is about 60 RPM. Thus extra shifting can be avoided, as long as full torque is not required.

When the machine is in the vertical milling format, spindle speed is limited to 600 RPM. This is the speed limit of the right-angle head.

Axis Clamps

There are axis holding clamps on the X (table), Y (head), W (saddle) and B (rotary) axes. You can apply and release the clamps with the following M functions:

When you apply an axis clamp with M32, M34, M36 or M38, the corresponding servo motor is disabled (powered off).

When you release an axis clamp with M33, M35, M37 or M39, the corresponding servo motor is reenabled (powered on)

The clamps will all automatically be released (unclamped) on power-up, and at the end of any program cycle.

To use the clamps, you will need to write the appropriate codes into your CNC programs. For example, if you are using the B axis to index to position, and then want to use the clamps to hold it there, your program sequence would be something like this:

; various program startup codes
G0 B0.0  ; move B axis to first position
M32      ; clamp B axis and remove servo power
; various codes to perform the desired machining
M33      ; unclamp B axis and restore servo power
G0 B90.0 ; move B axis to next position
M32      ; clamp B axis and remove servo power
; various codes to perform desired machining in second position
; ...

If you are writing your program with the Intercon conversational programming feature on the control, you can use Insert → Other → M&G Code to insert the axis clamp and unclamp M codes.

Axis Way Lube System

The control will automatically operate the way lube pumps periodically, when running automatic program cycles. The way lube system will not operate when the machine is idle, even if the hydraulic pump is running.

Machine Parameter 179 controls the interval between way lube cycles, and the operating time for a cycle. The hundreds place of the Parameter 179 value is the lube cycle interval in minutes. The tens and ones place is the run time in seconds. For example, a value of 2010 means to run the lube pumps for 10 seconds every 20 minutes of program cycle time.

Troubleshooting

Fault, Error and Warning Messages

Any time the control cannot complete its tasks normally, it will display a message in the scrolling message box, in the upper right corner of the screen, explaining what went wrong. You can use the mouse to scroll up (back) in the message box to view the most recent 10 or so messages.

You can view older messages in the error message log, accessible from the F7/Utility menu:

1. Press F7 for Utility
2. Press F9 for Logs
3. Press F1 for Errors
4. Use PgUp and PgDn as needed to scroll through the pages of messages
5. Press ESC three times to return to the control's main screen

Most common messages are described in Chapter 15 of the Centroid M-Series Operator's Manual.

The machine-specific PLC program can generate several of its own fault, error and warning messages, in addition to those listed in the Centroid operator's manual. The machine-specific messages are listed later in this section.

PLC Diagnostic Display

You can use the PLC Diagnostic display on the console to view some of the Centroid PLC input and memory locations mentioned with these fault and error conditions. At the control's main screen, press Alt-I to activate the PLC Diagnostic display. Press Alt-I again to dismiss it.

Each page of the Diagnostic display shows four rows of red and green dots: the first row shows PLC inputs 1 through 80; the second row PLC outputs 1 through 80; the third row PLC memory bits 1 through 80; and the fourth row PLC program stages 1 through 80.

You can use the arrow keys to move a highlight box over any of these locations. The name of the highlighted location will be displayed in the center of the screen below the red and green dots.

For example, in the illustration above the highlight box is on Output #42: The dot below the 2, to the right of the superscript 4, on the second line.

Below the four rows of bit status information are ten numeric ("word") variable values, labeled W1 through W10. Some of these variables also hold useful status information, described with the error and fault conditions to follow.

There are multiple pages of Diagnostic data. With the Alt-I diagnostic display showing, you can use the F12 and F11 keys to scroll right and left. For example, pressing F12 once will shift to the page showing inputs and outputs 81 through 160, and word variables W11 through W20.

Clearing Faults

Messages with 9000-series message numbers are Faults. After resolving the problem, you must press and release the Emergency Stop button to clear a Fault.

Messages with 8000-series message numbers are Errors. Errors will cancel the program cycle and stop the spindle and coolant, but they do not then need to be explicitly reset.

Messages with 5000-series and 2000-series message numbers are Warnings and Informational Messages. They do not cancel the cycle or require any action to reset.

Opening the Control Cabinet Doors

In some cases, it will be necessary to open the control cabinet doors while power is on. For example, servo drive and spindle drive fault conditions can be more readily identified using the codes displayed on, or stored in, the drive units themselves.

WARNING: Use appropriate caution when working in the control cabinets while power is on. Lethal voltages, up to 480VAC and 700VDC, are present on many components.

To open the right-hand control cabinet door while power is OFF:

1. Turn the gray door handle counter-clockwise, up past horizontal
2. Turn the power switch handle counterclockwise to the "OPEN" position.
3. Pull the door open.

To open the right-hand control cabinet door while power is ON:

1. Turn the gray door handle counter-clockwise, up past horizontal
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, turn the screw head on the lower right of the power switch handle clockwise.
3. Pull the door open.

Closing the Right-Hand Control Cabinet Door

Updating Format-Switching File Sets

The report_0417180586_vertical.zip and report_0417180586_horizontal.zip file sets that are restored when switching machining formats contain the following files:

Because these files in the control are replaced with the archived files every time you switch between horizontal and vertical formats, any changes that you might have made in Parameters, Configuration, Work Coordinate Systems, or logged homing distances will be lost on the next format switch.

If there is a need to make changes in any of these areas, and have those changes preserved in the future, then you will need to update the archive file(s) that are used in format switching.

To update one of the archive file sets:

1. Switch the machine to the desired format
2. Make the needed change(s) to Parameters, Configuration, etc.
3. At the main screen, press F7/Utility
4. Press F7/Create Report
5. Arrow down to the [VerticalHorizontalSwitch] folder
6. Press F10/Accept. This will create a new report file in the folder.
7. Launch the Windows File Explorer (e.g. press the Start Menu key, then click on the file folder icon in the taskbar)
8. Browse to the c:\cncm\VerticalHorizontalSwitch folder
9. Identify the new report*.zip file. It will be the one with a date/time code instead of the word "horizontal" or "vertical"
10. Open that zip file (e.g. by double-clicking on it)
11. Delete all the files from within that zip file, except for cncm.prm.xml, cncm.wcs, cncmcfg.xml, homelog.txt, and the newest report_*.txt.
12. Go back up to view the contents of the c:\cncm\VerticalHorizontalSwitch folder
13. Delete the old archive file for the current format (i.e., either report_0417180586_vertical.zip or report_0417180586_horizontal.zip).
14. Rename your new, stripped-down report file to the archive name you just deleted.

If appropriate, switch formats and repeat the above procedure for the other format.
