1 - 2 Site Preparation 704-0211-602 Getting Started HMX Series Machining Center

Preparing the Site

Prepare the site.

To avoid problems when the equipment arrives for installation, Hurco recommends the site be prepared. Specific site preparation information is provided in this manual.

Review the following:

• Capacity of the floor to support machine weight.

• Capacity of forklift or crane.

• Overhead and door clearances.

• Plant obstructions on the way to machine location.

• Code requirements for utility services.

• Space to allow efficient operation, considering full axes travel and future servicing access requirements.

• Use of internal personnel for management of installation.

• Proximity of compressed air and proper electrical service.

Foundation Supporting the Machine

Ensure the foundation and floor are capable of supporting the machine’s weight.

The foundation must be able to support the weight of the machine, and should be constructed of continuous concrete (reinforced is best). The thickness and consistency of the concrete must be compatible with industry standards for supporting machine weight. Actual requirements will depend upon the physical properties of underlying soil. A local civil engineer must be consulted if soil conditions are questionable.

Additional information about the coolant system and its component parts may be found in the Maintenance and Safety Manual.

The HMX machining center must be anchored to the floor in order to achieve the specified accuracies.

Please refer to the HMX Foundation/Floor Plan Assembly drawing in the appropriate HMX Parts Listing and Wiring Diagrams manual for details.

Electrical Service Requirements

Ensure there is appropriate power availability and the voltage requirements are met.

Become familiar with the following Electrical Service requirements:

• On-site wiring must comply with all applicable electrical codes.

• Dedicated, grounded 3-phase AC power is required to prevent high/low voltages, spikes, surges, and noise.

• The AC power source shall be balanced and must match the voltage specifications on the machine electrical cabinet.

• Wiring to the machine must be capable of supplying continuous specified amperage.

• Failure to provide the required power parameters may affect safety, machine performance, and the warranty.

• A Hurco-certified Service Engineer must supervise final electrical connections to the machining center.

Incoming Service KVA Requirements

Full load KVA is provided in the Serial Identification Plate located on your machine. Incoming Service KVA is specified at 125% of the full load KVA. Fuse sizes should be based on the Incoming Service KVA. Use the table and the calculations below to calculate service fusing.

Table 1–9. Service KVA Requirements

Recommended Isolation Transformer Configuration

Ensure transformer requirements are met.

If a transformer is required and the machine was not equipped with one, the customer is responsible for providing a transformer. Contact your Hurco distributor for details. The transformer must meet Hurco’s machine-operating voltage requirements. Use one of the configurations shown in the figure below. Hurco recommends the Wye configuration (4) on the transformer secondary that feeds power to the machine. It is the customer’s responsibility to have a qualified electrician connect the transformer to the power source.

Figure 1–3. Delta and Wye Transformer Configurations

Grounding Equipment

The electrical and electronic control systems of the machining center are interconnected, terminating at the single point ground (SPG) terminal.

• The SPG must be properly connected to the ground circuit of the AC power source. The SPG is located inside the machine power cabinet.

• The SPG provides only one conducting path between the machine and external ground, preventing an unwanted ground loop (ground differential voltage).

• The grounding conductor must be sized to conform to all applicable electrical codes. However, Hurco recommends that the size of the neutral conductor (when applicable) be at least the size of the phase (current carrying) conductors.

Compressed Air Requirements

Ensure compressed air is available.

A continuous supply of clean and dry air is essential for proper machine operation, and must be connected to the machine as described here. Compressed air for use by the machine must conform to these specifications:

• 5 CFM at 80 - 100 PSI or 0.14 M3/min at 6-8 bar.

• Air humidity: 2º C (35º F)

• Use a minimum 1/2” (13 mm) diameter (trade size) pipe, or an equivalent 3/4” (19 mm) diameter hose supply line to the machine. This will supply the required air volume.

• Install a drip leg in the line ahead of the FRL unit. The drip leg will help remove the moisture in the air supply, making the filter last longer.

• Do not use quick-coupler type fittings at the connection to the FRL unit or in the supply line to the machine because these fittings restrict the air supply.

Recommended Operating Temperature

Ensure operating temperature requirements are met.

Hurco machines that are not equipped with the air conditioning option may be operated in ambient temperatures up to 35ºC (95ºF), and in relative humidity (non-condensing) up to 95%. Set up the machine away from external heat sources, such as direct sunlight and heating vents.

Tool Retention Knobs

Caterpillar V-Flange tooling is standard. BT tooling is optional. Hurco recommends using the tool retention knobs listed in the following table.

Table 1–10. Recommended Retention Knobs

Linear positioning accuracy of the machine was set at the factory for an ambient temperature of 20ºC (68ºF). Continual operation at higher or lower temperatures may necessitate adjustment of the leadscrew map.

Inspecting for Damage Before Unloading

Inspect the machine for damage.

All Hurco equipment passes a quality control inspection before being shipped. However, damage may occur during shipment. Hurco strongly recommends that the machine equipment be inspected for damage before unloading.

• Before unloading the machine from the shipping carrier, or after placing the machine onto its foundation, check whether the shock meter sensor is tripped. If the sensor is tripped in either case, the ball bearings will be dislodged from the spring(s). This sensor is located on the casting in the rear of the machine.

• Examine the machine for structural damage.

• Note any shipping damage to the machine on the shipper’s bill of lading. If damage occurs after the machine is placed onto its foundation, the responsibility is that of the machine rigger. It is the customer’s responsibility to file a damage claim in either case.

• Photograph any equipment damage for your records.

Unloading the Machine

Unload the machine.

Unload the undamaged machine from the shipping container, using a forklift that can handle the machine’s size and weight.

Forklift Capacities

Ensure an appropriate forklift or crane is available.

Make sure the forklift you use to unload the machine is rated to hold the machine weight, and is equipped with fork tines long enough to fully support the machine. Refer to the table in the section titled Machine Weight, on page 1 - 3. The table below lists the Fork Tines Length recommendations.

Table 2–1. Fork Tines Length Recommendations

3D Mold

The WinMax 3D Mold option creates three-dimensional (3D) parts from two-dimensional (2D) open contours. Define the surface as a 2D profile in either the X-Y or X-Z plane. The 2D profile is then repeated along a straight line (translated), or around a centerline (revolved), to produce the final 3D shape.

Advanced Verification Graphics

Advanced Verification Graphics adds a runtime tool feature to the Toolpath wireframe graphics. In addition, this options provides Solid Graphics that displays solid, 3-dimensional graphics

DXF

The Data Exchange Format (DXF) File option allows you to convert an AutoCAD® DXF file into a conversational data block. Use WinMax to add part and tool setup information to complete the part program.

Helical Plunge

The Helical Plunge programming option provides helical plunge as an alternative machining strategy. Helical plunge and straight plunges can be used separately for roughing and finishing phases, or they can be used together for the same operation. For example, you can rough with a helical plunge and finish with a straight plunge. In the Helical Plunge option, the tool rotates around the cut and moves down the Z-axis. The cutting tool is continuously cutting deeper and enters and exits the machined part only once.

Getting Started HMX Series Machining Center 704-0211-602 Machine and Software Options 4-3

Industry Standard NC

The Industry Standard NC (ISNC) option provides features to increase the NC power of the control.

• Permits use of control in conventional NC mode for processing programs created on offline software systems. Allows Hurco machines to be integrated into NC machining operations and networked while still retaining ability to use conversational programming for short run, fast turnaround jobs as needed.

• Compatible with a wide range of G-Codes and operational macros.

• Provides three modes of motion control: precision, standard and performance. These are based on the dynamics of the machine and designed for balancing the needs to cut accurately and reduce cycle time.

• S-curve Acceleration moves through the parts faster and smoother.

• Jerk Control handles changes in acceleration rate. The machine will not abruptly change the axis feedrate when acceleration rates change.

• Corner Feedrate Tables optimize the feedrate slowdowns when transitioning between line segments to move through the part faster.

• 2D and 3D Arc Smoothing generates smooth surfaces even with rough or discontinuous CAD/CAM geometry.

• NC Tool Path Tolerance is user definable to overcome problems with data resolution introduced by the CAM system when the toolpath is processed.

• Optimize offline-generated part accuracy and finish at the machine without having to regenerate the program offline.

• Process 1,100 blocks per second with the standard Hurco control. But with the SelectSurface Finish Quality option, 2,277 blocks per second can be processed.

Insert Pockets

Cutter insert manufacturers use the Insert Pockets milling routines to mill pockets in triangular, diamond, and hexagon shapes. These routines are sold as a WinMax option and can be defined in one program data block.

NC Conversational Merge

WinMax allows you to execute an ISNC G-code (NC) program from within a Conversational part program with NC/Conversational merge. G-code programs can be used and re-used within the Conversational program.

NCPP features include variables, subprogram calls, macros, user-defined codes, mathematical equations and address expressions. The NCPP option requires the presence of the ISNC option.

Post Processor (Desktop Only)

The Post Processor option allows Conversational part programs to be converted to NC (M and G code) programs, using third-party Post Processor software.

Probing

The two probing types — tool and part — assist with tool and part setup. Tool and part probing may be used independently or in conjunction with one another. Each probing type requires optional hardware and software.

Rigid Tap

Rigid Tap programs a tapping sequence in which the same hole is tapped repeatedly with precision.

Rotary

The WinMax Conversational Rotary option provides four and five-axis machining for complex multi-sided, curved, odd-shaped, and cylindrical parts. The ability to machine complex parts with a single setup increases productivity and minimizes incorrect part alignment.

Rotary axis tables with a Tilt feature may also be installed on some Hurco machining centers. The rotary/tilt feature helps maintain accuracy and uniformity when drilling angle holes around a cylinder. It is also effective for tall work pieces.

SelectSurface Finish Quality

Surface Finish Quality (SFQ) is enabled with the SelectSurface Finish Quality option. SFQ parameters can be modified in either Conversational or NC programming.

Swept Surface

The Swept Surface option in WinMax allows you to program draft angles for pocket or island walls with greater flexibility, including Spiral, Constant Z level, and Cusp Height cutting strategies.

Tool and Material Library

The Tool and Material Database is available when the Tool & Material Library option is enabled. It is accessed in Auxiliary Mode. Tool and material information can be entered and stored in the database. The materials entered into the database are available in the work material list located on the Feed and Speed tab in Tool Type Setup/Advanced Tool Settings. This information is saved in the material database and can be utilized in future part programs without re-entering the speeds and feeds.

Tool Change Optimization

Tool Change Optimization reduces the number of tool changes in Conversational programs. In typical Conversational program execution, each data block is completed (roughing and finishing) before the program moves to the next data block. With Tool Change Optimization, operations are completed sequentially by tool; for example, the program completes all operations that use tool 1 before moving to the operations that use tool 2, and so on.

Tool Fixture (TPS)

The Tool Fixture (TPS) option provides an alternative way to manually move tools to and from the spindle during tool setup or program execution. TPS has two components, a tool fixture and an optikey that enables the option. The fixture is attached to the table, near the front enclosure doors. It is not removable, except for complete removal.

UltiMonitor

The UltiMonitor option expands your WinMax operation by providing connection to a Local Area Network (LAN). Use UltiMonitor to communicate with other CNCs, PCs, or file servers, using standard TCP/IP and FTP protocols. With UltiMonitor, 10 megabyte files can be transferred in less than 40 seconds. UltiMonitor also includes Extended Shop Floor (ESF) for remote machine monitoring and communication.
