This is a General Class (GC)

This is a half day online class, Microsoft Teams is needed for this class.

Class Level 3 (In-Person)

Disassemble the index table, go over the Curvic coupling structure and how it differs from the clamping plate. Adjust the backlash in the gears and go over the hydraulic manifold. Disassemble the full rotary table. Go over the concept of the hydraulic clamp on how to measure/set the proper gap for operation. Go over checking the backlash on the system and how to reinstall all the components.

Day 1 = 9 A.M. to 4 P.M.

Day 2 = 9 A.M. to TBD

Class Level 1 (In-Person)

This program is a combination of both comprehensive mechanical and comprehensive electrical trainings. The first two days will cover the mechanical area, followed by the third day, during which the instructor will go over the electrical training material. The main topics covered during the first two days will cover the following: how to calibrate levels, set levels on the machine, read moving levels, check square, test bar, and all geometry in the blue book. Review the information covered in the Manuals that are provided with the machine. Learn different hydraulics symbols, show different types of service tools, etc. Get hand on experience on how to reset the machine’s home position and perform ATC alignment, Spindle Orientation, and ATC Recovery.

On the last day of this training program, students will learn about the electrical layout of the machine. Go over detailed information on the hardware (E-Box, OP-Box, NC unit, power, and control line) and the software (how Ladder, timer, counter, keep Relay, and data table are used). Learn the proper use of Electrical Schematics. Learn how to check the status of the electric devices (Sensors, Relays, Switches, and Solenoid Valves) and perform a sample alarm diagnosis. Discuss how to diagnose alarms in Ladder, how to upload and download Ladder and how to perform All Data Backup.

Class Level 4 (In Person)

Machine overview. Description of the major components and their purpose. leveling the machine (Introduce the concept of level calibration, placement, and use). Machine Alignments: (Main/Sub Spindle, B-Axis, and lower Turret). How to set the reference positions. ATC alignments/adjustments. How to exchange a magazine pocket, how to remove and install the ATC swing arm, how to set the tool change position (2nd reference), how to set spindle orientation, and how to recover the tool changer. Rebuild the B-Axis RGC unit. Disassemble and reassemble this unit. Check the rotational gap, adjust the cross roller bearing run-out.

Class Level 4 (In-Person)

Milling spindle disassembly and reassembly. How to check the Pusher Gap, Introduce the Rotary Union, Clamp/LVDT Sensor theory, what a BZi sensor is and how to adjust it, and all about the drawbar information (Clamp Force, Kick-Out, and Drawbar Stroke). Review how to break in the spindle, how to balance the spindle, and how to use the ATC system (alignment, spindle orient, and recovery).

 Class Level 2 (In-Person)

In this course, we will cover only the Siemens Control. Explain the layout of the hardware and what these components do. Go over how to navigate the control and how the menus are structured. Describe how the alarms are displayed and structured. Go over the concept of archives and how to use them (back-up of memory). Explain how the data works in the control, these are the "settings" of the machine (similar to parameters in Fanuc). Common data that service/maintenance would use, how to calibrate probes/Q-setter, and how to navigate our EOP screens. Will also go over the concept of using the trace function and the use of TiA Portal (PLC Software).
