3-2 Individual Movement (At MDI or Maintenance Mode)
In case of execution of individual movement for test running or adjustment of maintenance
etc., operate a unit as follows.
1. Set a mode to the MDI.
2. Set the Y axis to the 3rd reference point by G91 G30 P3 Y0.
Or, set the Y axis to the 4th reference point by G91 G30 P4 Y0.
Confirm if the “APC POSITION” lamp on the main operation panel is lit at this time.
3. Turn on the maintenance mode switch in the control cabinet.
An alarm lamp goes on and off.
4. M codes to be used for individual movement are as follows.
5. Input M9 then start.
M code Motion
6. Operate the right and left side pallet fix pin by the push button on the APC operation
panel.
Caution
Be specially careful not to perform any erroneous operation.

3-3 Treatment at Power Failure or Emergency Stop
If power failure or emergency stop occurs during machine operation, a ready condition of
machine operation including the NC unit will be lost and also mostly memory and
movement command become clear condition. Therefore, after restoration from power
failure or emergency stop condition, the machine can not be operated without preparation
of ready condition of the NC unit and machine by fixed procedure.
About the restoration after emergency stop, carry out a restoration work after confirmation
of removing a cause of emergency stop.
When the ready button is pressed, pay attention to the part under operation immediately
before a power failure may be moved until remaining movement is completed according to
a condition of the hydraulic circuit.
[1] Visually check (position of axis is not checked) and ensure that Y-axis is located on the
pallet conveying position.
[2] Solve the cause of trouble such as the “half-way stop”.
[3] Reset the machine by performing each individual operation in the maintenance mode.
For the resetting method, refer to the above 3-2 Single individual operation.
3-5
D413.3 APC limit switch is abnormal. (In case of requiring repairs of APC maintenance M910)
When APC relevant limit becomes abnormal, APC operation cannot be executed in the
normal way. If it is operated with a defective limit switch, there are risks of damaging the
machine. Be sure to replace the defective limit switch or make necessary repairs and
confirm the normal function of the switch before executing any restoration work.
3-6
• There are two original positions of the APC arm.
• Adjust the pallet position and the arm original position to coincide.
• Exit from the maintenance mode.
• Put the maintenance switch on the control board OFF, or execute M999 to exit from the
maintenance mode.
• By releasing the maintenance mode, the APC maintenance mode is also released.

4-2 Environment for Machine Installation
Pay full attention to a room temperature, dust, vibrations, etc. in order to make use of the
primary performance of the machine. Needless to say that high accuracy cannot be
obtained in the environment where the room temperature greatly changes. Just a slight
change of the room temperature partly affects the machine. Be fully careful of effects heat
transfer from the direct sunshine, vent, heating unit, and so on.
Under the environment where the air is polluted so much by dust, etc., the sliding sections
and electric devices of the machine are greatly affected in their service lives.
Particularly, electronic devices related to controls are susceptible to dust and humidity.
Install the machine in the environment as clean as possible.
Also, the machine must be installed at a place free from vibrations caused by other
machines.
In case that electric machines and appliances generating high frequency noise are installed
near by NC machines, or newly erected keep to the following precautions.
1. Example of the electric machines and appliances generating high frequency noise.
(1) Arc welding machines
(2) Resistance welding machine
(3) High frequency drying machine
(4) Electric discharge machine
(5) Others
2. Installation norm of NC machines
(1) Power supply line
The power supply line (AC200V) of NC cabinet shall be separated line with that for
electric machines and appliances. If impossible, connect the line at the point more
than 20m apart from the point where the power supply for electric machines and
appliances is connected.
(2) Installation place of NC
NC shall be installed more than 20m apart from electric machines and appliances.
(3) Earth of NC
The earth of NC shall be grounded within 5m from the NC separating from the
ground of electric machines and appliances, and grounded at not more than
100Ω)
The thickness of earth wire shall be not less than 1.25mm2.

3. Example of installation of NC Machine
The installation state of NC and electric machine and appliances are illustrated as under.

Fig. 4-2 Foundation layout diagram for the machine with APC (VS40)
Note 1) The resistivity of ground should be 5 ton/m2 or more and the thickness of foundation,
300mm (11.8”) or more.
2) The range of foundation should be 300mm (11.8”) or more around the circumference
of bed.
3) When installing anti-vibration ditch, install along the circumference of foundation.

4-4 Installation of Machine
a) Electric wiring
Wiring provided for this machine connects between the machine proper and its
attachments only. The user is kindly requested to prepare wiring from the supply
power source to the control cabinet. Although an electric wire used for this
purpose slightly differs depending on a distance from the power source to the
control cabinet, it is necessary to connect with the one whose sectional area is
22mm2 (0.87”) or more.
b) Pneumatic source
Since this machine requires supply of compressed clean air for blowing off chips
and cleaning the spindle hole and tool shank part also for pallet clamp/unclamp
pneumatics and other use, prepare air source of a proper capacity. (pressure:
0.5MPa {5kgf/cm2} or higher, flow rate:100/min; ANR, tank capacity of
compressed air source; 40 or larger)
4 - 10
This pneumatic source must be naturally free from dust contained in the air and
oversaturated moisture. Due to a nature of the air, as the air temperature of the
pneumatic source increases higher than the temperature of the machine proper, it is
cooled on the machine proper side and causes water drops more easily. If moist air is
injected, it may rust the spindle hole and tool shank, thus having ill effects on
machining accuracy and a cutting surface. Therefore, the better, the lower the air
temperature of the pneumatic source is. When there is a great temperature
difference, attach an air dryer between the pneumatic source and the machine.
An air coupler 30SH + 2OPM (NITTO KOKI make) is attached to the machine.
Please prepare a 3/8” hose and hose band by yourself and connect it.
c) Oil supply
Usually there is no need of supplying oil, however, when it becomes necessary for
some reason, pay full attention to the following points.
1. Supply specified oil by specified amount. Do not supply a different type of oil or
over the specified amount. Otherwise, the machine may malfunction.
2. Clean an oil inlet port in advance lest dust, etc. should enter inside.
3. When supplying the oil, use a filter to prevent foreign substances from entering
inside the tank.
When the filter is not available, use a wire net of 150 mesh or more.
4. Whenever you supply the oil, use new one. Do not mix with reproduced or old
oil.
5. Even when opening a new oil can, do not use all oil in it, but leave some
unused. This is necessary to eliminate moisture and deposits.

Caution at Time of Mounting Pallet
Mount a pallet at each work rearranging position in such a way that the phase of the location
confirming dog on the side of the pallet and the location confirming limit switch matches.
Note: APC does not work, when the pallet is mounted on the work rearranging position where the
phase of the dog and the limit switch mismatches.
