Day 5 = 9 A.M. to TBD (Around 12 P.M. and NO LUNCH)

Class Level 2 (In-Person)

The class is a full tear down and rebuild of the Tool Post assembly and removal of the Live-Tool for a Puma series servo turret (covers both front and rear mount live tooling units), along with in-class instruction/training for how it applies to other machines. Also will go over the theroy of hydraulic turrets. Upon completion the student should be able to easily take apart, rebuild, realign, reassemble, and re-program any applicable component of a Live-Tool or Tool Post, as well as how it relates to the machine’s geometry.

This is a Turning Center Class (TC)

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

Class Level 1 (Teams Meeting)

Review our service-related, web-based systems and how to use them. MT Manual, CSTip, Servicepad, GPES, and our Dealer Portal. Go over DNSA’s warranty policy and guidelines. Go over our installation and quality feedback reports. How to contact our service department for support. Things of this nature will be presented in this class.

This is a General Class (GC)

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

Class Level 4 (Teams Meeting)

This class goes over how to remove and install the milling spindle on a SMX. Then how to set up the orientation of this spindle as well. Also goes over how to remove and rebuild the B-Axis rotary unit on the machine and explains in depth the ATC unit on the machine. How to set the positions both mechanically and electronically.

This is a Multi-Tasking Machine Class (MT)

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

Class Level 3 (In-Person)

Fully dissemble and pull the spindle cartridge from the headstock. Go over the concept of measuring and adjusting the endcap gap, BZi sensor, LVDT sensor, pusher gap, and rotary union. Also talk about the drawbar, how to check clamp force, drawbar stroke, tool kick-out, and retention stroke. Practical: How to properly break in a spindle, and how to use a spindle balancer to balance the spindle (while it is in the machine).

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

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.

This is a 3 day class, in person @ our CTC

Day 1 = 9 A.M. to 4 P.M.

Day 2 = 9 A.M. to 4 P.M.

Day 3 = 9 A.M. to TBD

 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).
