The system allows students to practice computer numerical controlled (CNC) code programming and editing, learn to operate mill components, controls, and tools, set a programmed reference zero, follow the steps necessary to machine a part to programmed specifications, and apply the machine code language to current mill technology. A computer is used to create NC part programs with the G and M machine codes or their conversational code equivalents. The created programs are downloaded to the on-board microprocessor of the CNC mill, which stores and executes them. Since the CNC mill connects directly to the serial or Ethernet port of a computer, or directly to a network, no additional interface card is required. The computer is free to be used for any additional applications, since it is not dedicated to the control of the mill. The CNC Mill Training System comprises the accessories, software, and cables required for system operation. These include a vise, a basic milling set, 100 blocks of industrial machinable wax, a serial cable, a cross-over Ethernet cable, and the CNC Mill Software, Model The training system also includes two user guides. The first user guide allows students to acquire experience with the equipment commonly found in automated manufacturing environments. The second user guide covers the operation of the CNC Mill Software. Various assortments of milling tools and stock materials of different sizes are offered as options to enhance and expand system capabilities. Features & Benefits Key-released emergency stop push button Ability to restart programs from stopping point after safety interruption On-board embedded microprocessor Computer free to be used for other applications since it is not dedicated to the control of the mill Stand-alone manual mode operation Batch mode for independent operation or operation in CIM Cells Software included with full 3D tool path emulator and easy-to-use graphical interface allowing the programming of up to twenty tools 12-key membrane keypad with 20-character by 4-line LCD display Feed-rate and spindle-speed override capability Removable side panel for access to robot 2 Festo Didactic

It consists of a milling table, a headstock carrying the spindle motor, and a vertical column with dovetail slide. The stock can either be mounted directly on the mill table or secured in a vise that holds it to the table. Two lead screws, each driven by a stepper motor, are used to move the table along the X axis (left and right) and Y axis (backward and forward) to feed the stock through the periphery of the end mill. A third lead screw, also driven by a stepper motor, is used to move the headstock along the Z axis (up and down) for positioning the end mill. The speed of each stepper motor can be programmed separately for feed rates of up to 356 mm/min (14 in/min). A 60 W (0.08 hp) motor rotates the spindle at speeds 2 Requires compressed air 4 Festo Didactic

5 programmable up to 2800 r/min. The end mill can be changed to accommodate different stock materials and milling designs. The CNC Mill features a control panel that allows manual operation. This panel includes a multiple-line LCD display, an easy-to-use membrane keypad, an error indicator/pause button, and a key-released emergency stop push button. The mill parameters, including the spindle speed, the feed rate, the reference point, and the X, Y, and Z axes coordinates can be set by accessing different menus. During the machining, the control panel displays the X, Y, and Z axes coordinates, as well as the current feed and spindle speed. The CNC Mill is designed for maximum safety. A safety door provides protection during machining. Magnetic interlocks located on this door stop the spindle and the axes if the door is opened during machining. Limit switches prevent over-travel of the spindle and table of the mill. Pressing the emergency stop push button on the control panel powers off the spindle motor and stops the axes. The CNC Mill supports low-voltage communications with robotic units to allow students to create automated work cells, ideal for implementing computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM). For this purpose, the CNC Mill features a 15-pin TTL/IO port providing four 5 V digital inputs and four 5 V digital outputs for TTL communication to an automation work cell. This port can be connected, for example, to the Servo-Robot, Model 5250, offered as an option to achieve automatic loading and unloading of the stock with a robot arm. The CNC Mill also features a 5-pin solenoid driver port providing connections for up to four auxiliary devices. This port can be connected, for example, to the pneumatic control box of the optional Pneumatic Vise, Model 5434, to achieve automatic clamping and unclamping of the stock loaded in the CNC Mill. The TTL/IO and solenoid driver ports of the CNC Mill are M-code supported through the CNC Mill Software, Model Manual Manual Description number CNC Mill (Light Duty) (User Guide) E0 Table of Contents of the Manual(s) CNC Mill (Light Duty) (User Guide) (39547-E0) 1 Overview and Installation 2 Tools and Accessories 3 Using the Mill Interface 4 Milling Stock 5 Tutorial Exercise 6 Maintenance Power Requirements Current Service Installation Mechanical Working Range X Axis (Longitudinally) Y (Transversely) Z Axis (Vertically) Positioning Repeatability Resolution Milling Table Surface 2 A Standard single-phase ac outlet 184 mm (7.25 in) 102 mm (4 in) 159 mm (6.25 in) ±0.025 mm (±0.001in) ± mm (± in) 69.9 x 330 mm (2.75 x 13 in) Festo Didactic 5
