Machining Center Machine Operation Panel
The following is a description of the various switches on the machine operation panel for an
OSP 5000/5020M type control. A picture of this panel can be seen on page 4-34.
AXIS This set of keys allows the operator to choose which axis he or
SELECT she wants to move in Manual mode. The pulse handle mode key is turned
on if the operator wishes to go into PH mode.
RAPID Press the RAPID + or RAPID – to feed the designated axis in
+/– the plus or minus direction. The axis will move as long as one of these
button are pressed and the control is in Manual mode.
RAPID This rotary switch is effective when the RAPID +/– push
OVERRIDE buttons are used and during programmed rapid feed modes (G00, G60,
etc.). This setting can be observed in the Block Data screen of the CRT
(fm).
SPINDLE
ORIENTATION
Pressing this key while holding down the INTERLOCK RELEASE key
will orient the spindle. The spindle will be positioned at a preset angle to
allow for proper tool changes. This key is effective with the spindle at rest
or in motion. Once this key is pressed, the indicating lamp on the upper
left corner will start to blink. Once the spindle orientation is completed,
the light will stay on until the spindle is given a command to rotate or the
RELEASE key is pressed.
CW Pressing this key while holding down the INTERLOCK RELEASE key
will initiate spindle rotation in the clockwise direction. The control must
be in Manual mode. The spindle speed is dependent on the S command
given through MDI mode before pressing the CW key. The spindle speed
commanded (So) and the actual spindle speed (Sr) can be viewed in the
Block Data screen on the CRT.
STOP Press this key to stop the spindle rotation.
CCW This key has the same function as the CW key except the spindle will
rotate in the counter clockwise direction.
RELEASE
Pressing this key will place the spindle in a neutral state. This allows the
operator to rotate the spindle by hand. This push button is effective only
when the spindle is at rest and the tool clamping mechanism is on.
SPINDLE This is a spindle speed override rotary switch. The spindle gear
OVERRIDE range is automatically selected when an S command is given. The spindle
override switch will effect the speeds that fall within the gear range se-
lected.
