1.1 THE MANUAL GUIDE CONCEPT
By using MANUAL GUIDE, an operator can handle a newly
equipped machine from simple cutting using a handwheel to
complicated machining step by step. He will be able to carry out them
without making a detour.
On MANUAL GUIDE, machining operations can be classified to 3
steps by an operator’s programming skill.
Manually Cutting
As the 1
st
step after machine equipment, without any data inputting
nor programming, by using normal handwheel for X/Z-axis, an
operator can carry out a simple machining such as straight
longitudinal or radial cutting, still more drilling.
Since this normal handwheel is available at anytime during idling
status of MANUAL GUIDE, an operator carry out this handwheel
cutting seeing a position display on an All-in-one screen.
This should be familiar to an operator has been using a manual lathe,
mechanically driven lathe.
In addition to moving tool function, auxiliary function switches are
prepared on a machine operator’s panel.
