TRAKEMX Knee, Bed Mill & ProtoTRAKEMX CNC Retrofit Safety, Programming, Operating& CareManual

1.0 Introduction

Congratulations! Whether you bought the ProtoTRAK EMX CNC as a retrofit or as the CNC

integrated into the TRAK Knee Mill or TRAK DPMEX2 Bed Mill, you have an excellent toolroom

machine. The ProtoTRAK EMX has an easy-to-use interface features that make knee and bed

mill work faster and more productive.

Manual Machining is always available and made easier with features like power feed, 100 inch

per minute rapids, and all the best features of sophisticated DRO’s.

Two-Axis or Two and ½ Axis Machining is available at the touch of a button for the

prototyping and moderately complex, low volume work that is typically done on knee mills or bed

mills.

The operation of the ProtoTRAK EMX CNC has been painstakingly refined to bring you the most

useful CNC technology while retaining the ease of use that has made ProtoTRAK the top brand in

controls for low volume production.

This manual will describe the operation of all basic and optional features in the appropriate

context. Where optional features are discussed, a note will explain in which option the particular

feature is found.

before changing or adjusting the tool or workpiece.

•Never wear gloves, rings, watches, long sleeves, neckties, jewelry, or other loose

items when operating or around the machine.

•Use adequate point of operation safeguarding. It is the responsibility of the

employer to provide and ensure point of operation safeguarding per OSHA 1910.212 -

Milling Machine.

2.3 Safety Precautions

1. Do not operate this machine before the ProtoTRAK EMX CNC Safety,

Installation, Maintenance, Service and Parts List Manual, and the

Safety, Programming, Operating & Care Manual have been studied and

understood.

2. Do not run this machine without knowing the function of every control key,

button, knob, or handle. Ask your supervisor or a qualified instructor for help

when needed.

3. Protect your eyes. Wear approved safety glasses (with side shields) at all times.

4. Don't get caught in moving parts. Before operating this machine remove all

jewelry including watches and rings, neckties, and any loose-fitting clothing.

5. Keep your hair away from moving parts. Wear adequate safety headgear.

6. Protect your feet. Wear safety shoes with oil-resistant, anti-skid soles, and steel

toes.

7. Take off gloves before you start the machine. Gloves are easily caught in

moving parts.

8. Remove all tools (wrenches, check keys, etc.) from the machine before you start.

Loose items can become dangerous flying projectiles.

9. Never operate a milling machine after consuming alcoholic beverages, or taking

strong medication, or while using non-prescription drugs.

10. Protect your hands. Stop the machine spindle and ensure that the CNC control is

in the stop mode:

•Before changing tools

•Before changing parts

•Before you clear away the chips, oil or coolant. Always use a chip

scraper or brush

•Before you make an adjustment to the part, fixture, coolant nozzle or

take measurements

•Before you open safeguards (protective shields, etc.). Never reach for

the part, tool, or fixture around a safeguard.

11. Protect your eyes and the machine as well. Don't use a compressed air hose to

remove the chips or clean the machine (oil, coolant, etc.).

12. Stop and disconnect the machine before you change belts, pulley, gears.

13. Keep work area well lighted. Ask for additional light if needed.

14. Do not lean on the machine while it is running.

15. Prevent slippage. Keep the work area dry and clean. Remove the chips, oil,

coolant and obstacles of any kind around the machine.

16. Avoid getting pinched in places where the table, saddle or spindle head create

"pinch points" while in motion.

17. Securely clamp and properly locate the workpiece in the vise, on the table, or in

the fixture. Use stop blocks to prevent objects from flying loose. Use proper

holding clamping attachments and position them clear of the tool path.

18. Use correct cutting parameters (speed, feed, depth, and width of cut) in order to

prevent tool breakage.

19. Use proper cutting tools for the job. Pay attention to the rotation of the spindle:

Left hand tool for counterclockwise rotation of spindle, and right hand tool for

clockwise rotation of spindle.

20. Prevent damage to the workpiece or the cutting tool. Never start the machine

(including the rotation of the spindle) if the tool is in contact with the part.

21. Check the direction (+ or -) of movement of the table when using the jog or

power feed.

22. Don't use dull or damaged cutting tools. They break easily and become

airborne. Inspect the sharpness of the edges, and the integrity of cutting tools

and their holders. Use proper length for the tool.

23. Large overhang on cutting tools when not required result in accidents and

damaged parts.

24. Prevent fires. When machining certain materials (magnesium, etc.) the chips

and dust are highly flammable. Obtain special instruction from your supervisor

before machining these materials.

25. Prevent fires. Keep flammable materials and fluids away from the machine and

hot, flying chips.

26. When working in manual mode (not CNC) make sure the computer control is

switched to DRO or OFF.

27. An optional interlocked guard is available from Southwestern Industries, Inc. for

TRAK Knee Mills if the use of the table guard is deemed necessary by the user

for his application.
