On-Site: Multi-Tasking Milling Spindle Exchange
with Rich Nawrocki
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).
This is a Multi-Tasking Machine Class (MT)
This is a 2 day class, in person @ our CTC
Day 1 = 9 A.M. to 4 P.M.
Day 2 = 9 A.M. to TBD

On-Site: Siemens Sinumerik One
with Rich Nawrocki
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).
