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). 

This is a Control Class (CC)

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

Course Level 2 (In-Person)

The class is a full tear down and rebuild of the ATC assembly and magazine for a DNM series type, along with in-class instruction and training for how it applies to other machines. Go over the concept of aligning the machine components to the ATC unit. How to check/adjust  spindle orientation, tool change position (set 2nd reference position), discuss how the control keeps track of the tooling with the data table and how to adjust the timing of the unit. Upon completion, the student should be able to easily take apart, rebuild, realign, reassemble, and re-program any applicable component of a magazine or ATC cam arm, as well as how it relates to the machine’s spindle.

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.
