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 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).
