FEMCO DURGA TURNING CENTER
Ok to begin the machine and were talking about the femco durga 25e cnc turning center
The first step is to turn the master power on using this switch. When you turn that on you will notice that there’s motors start and fans inside the control unit that begin turning and you can hear the motors running.
Now that the main power is on the back of the machine tool, our next step is to turn the power on the front of the machine. We push the start button. The first time it activates the computer control unit, it runs through a diagnostics process. It prepares itself for successfully executing programs and commands that will be in the cnc code. We give this a few minutes to or you know up to a minute a to initialize the computer.
Now the machine tool is ready to align the axis.
Now something that is important to observe when we get to this step in the process is the location of the turret. The turret is located right now at the zero return or home position which means that if I just simply begin to zero return the machine it’s going to give me an overtravel on the axis. So what I need to do is move it away from the ? switches that you find in the zero return position. To do that, I choose the selector switch move it to the? Mode I select the z axis using this axis selector switch and using the hand wheel I move it in the negative direction this moves the turret forward so it is off of the ? switch ? the zero return is located. I then move the selector switch to the x axis once again moving it in the negative direction I move the turret to the center line of this spindle with this done I have cleared the ? switches for the zero return position I now move my selector to the zero return which looks like a target ? origin I press x positive first which begins movement you will notice on the ? the axis is updating once it begins moving slowly you can let go of the button and it will continue to travel if it’s going faster and you let go of the button it’s going to stop. Next I press ? plus. Now if I take my finger off it stops just like we just observed I’m gonna press and hold down as soon as it begins moving slowly then I can take my finger off the button and the machine is automatically going to drive the z axis slides so that it finds the zero return point that is factory preset and used for calibrating the measurement system of the machine tool. Now that the machine tool has been ? I need to look at my coordinate positions on the screen. I have three options I have absolute coordinates which are pictured as the default at start up it gets me the position of the machine along the x axis which factory preset is x eight point zero zero inches and the z value that shows up in the ? tells me the distance from the zero return point to the axis origin that was set for the work piece ? whatever part was being manufactu
