5. Loading a Workpiece for Cutting

To load workpiece, use the adhesive sheet or clamps included with the machine.

When performing engraving that subjects the workpiece to a load, use the clamps to secure the workpiece in place. When engraving the edge of the workpiece or when loading a workpiece with a thickness of 10 mm (25/64") or more, use the adhesive sheet.

Large-size material (i.e., material that is about the same size as the PNC-2300's table) cannot be affixed to the table securely using the adhesive sheet or clamps. In such cases, use commercially available double-sided tape to secure the workpiece in place.

* A vacuum table (ZV-23A) and a center vise (ZV-23C) are optionally available and should be purchased if needed.

Loading Workpiece Using the Adhesive Sheet

Do not attempt to wash the adhesive sheet with water. Doing so will damage the adhesive surface and make it impossible to grip the material.

1 Place the adhesive sheet on the table and press it down.

2 Place the workpiece to be cut on the adhesive sheet and fasten it while pressing down.

2 This determines the engraving depth (cutting-in amount). The scale on the micrometer dial assembly has 25 grooves, with one groove corresponding to an engraving depth of 0.025 mm (1/1000"). (One full turn of the scale corresponds to an engraving depth of

0.625 mm.) Rotate the scale in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure by an amount equal to or greater than the engraving depth.

For example, when engraving to a depth of 0.5 mm, the scale should be rotated by 20 grooves or more

(approximately one full turn). For engraving at a depth of 1.5 mm, rotate the scale by 60 grooves or more (approximately three turns).

3 Loosen the Z adjust screw.

8 Rotate the dial in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure to extend the cutter to the engraving depth

(cutting-in amount).

Move the cutter out just enough for the necessary engraving depth.

The lines printed on the dial indicate 0.025 mm (1/

1000") for each mark. For instance, to set a cutting depth of 0.5 mm, rotate an 20 mark portion.



Engraving depth

When setting the engraving depth with software, set a depth about 2 mm deeper than the depth that would be set on the micrometer dial.

(In other words, 2 mm deeper than the actual engraving depth.)

Engraving can be done at a standard depth by increasing the force on the workpiece from the top.

Part 1

9. Cutting Condition Setting

Before you begin the actual cutting process, the cutting conditions such as the revolution speed of the spindle motor and the feeding speed of each axis must be designated according to the quality of the workpiece and the type of cutter used. There are several deciding factors to be taken into account when designating the cutting conditions.

1. The quality of the workpiece

2. The type of cutter used

3. The diameter of the cutter used

4. The cutting method

5. The cutting shape

Designate the cutting conditions in consideration of the above factors by performing the following three PNC-2300 setting operations.

1. The spindle motor revolution speed (cutter revolution speed)

2. The feeding speed (cutter moving speed)

3. The cutting-in amount (depth of one cutting operation)

Note : When settings have been made with both the software and the PNC-2300, the last settings made have priority.

In this manual, these three conditions are called the cutting conditions. The characteristics and points to consider for each of these conditions are as follows.

I t e m Characteristics/Points to Consider

The bigger this number, the faster the cutting speed. However, if this number is too large, the work surface may melt or burn due to excessive friction. Conversely, if this number is made smaller, the time

Spindle motor taken for cutting becomes too longer. Generally speaking, the entire cutting speed is determined by the revolution speed cutting edge speed, so the smaller the tool diameter, the higher the spindle revolution speed required.

(When performing engraving without rotating the cutting tool, set “REVOLUTION” to “OFF.”)

Revolution speed : 5,000—15,000 rpm

Feeding speed

When the feeding speed is high, processing becomes rough and flash marks tend to remain on the cut surface. On the other hand, when the feeding speed is slow, processing takes more time.

Be careful because a slower feeding speed does not always result in improved finishing.

When the cutting-in amount is deeper, the cutting speed increases, but the cutting-in amount is limited

Cutting-in amount by the quality of the workpiece. In cases where the required depth can not be cut at once, repeat cutting several times to depth that does not breach the limit.

Manual Setting of Cutting Conditions

The cutting conditions can be set manually according to the method described below.

If the cutting conditions can be set with your current software, this is a faster and more efficient method than manual setting. It makes no difference when you come to construct a program. The following method is appropriate for making delicate halfway adjustments to conditions previously set using software, etc.

Part 1

Cutting Condition Setting Examples

The chart below contains reference examples of the appropriate cutting conditions for several types of workpiece material. In the case that the conditions are input using software or when constructing your own programs, set the cutting conditions with reference to the chart. However, because conditions differ depending on cutter sharpness and workpiece hardness, cutting performance may not always be optimal when adhering to the conditions specified below. In such a case, delicate adjustment should be performed at the time of actual cutting.

11. Sending Cutting Data

The PNC-2300 performs cutting after receiving cutting data from the computer (application software).

Data may be output, for example, after it has been created using any of a number of applications, or from driver software.

In this section, general matters related to data output are explained. Refer to this section when carrying out data output. For details of the cutting data output method, refer to the operation manual for the application software or driver software used.

User's Reference

Cutting Area

The maximum cutting area of the PNC-2300 is 305 mm 230 mm 30 mm (12" 9" 1-1/8"). When converted to coordinate values, this corresponds to (x, y, z) = (30500, 23000, 3000) when the coordinate unit is 0.01 mm, or (x, y, z) = (12200, 9200, 3000) when the coordinate unit is 0.025 mm. Changing the coordinate unit causes only the coordinate units for the X and Y axes to change. The coordinate unit along the Z axis is always 0.01 mm/step.

The actual available cutting area is subject to restrictions according to the length of the attached cutter and the workpiece height; and in some cases it may be larger than the maximum operating area.

Performing Repeat Cutting

The repeat cutting function cannot be used unless the PNC-2300's memory buffer has been expanded to 1 MB.

The data buffer is the place where data received from the computer is stored temporarily. (The data in the data buffer can be erased by switching off the power or executing the “ CLEAR ” .)

Executing the “ REPEAT ” calls up the cutting data stored in the PNC-2300's data buffer and executes the replotting procedure.

When replotting is executed, the entire data content of the data buffer is called up. When you perform replotting, clear the data from the data buffer before sending the cutting for replotting from the computer.



“ CLEAR ,” then hold down the [ENTER] key for 0.5

sec or more. This makes “ CLEAR ” start to flash.

Part 2

Troubleshooting

If you want to completely stop the operation of the PNC-2300, turn off the power switch.

When the PNC-2300 does not work...

Is the cover open?

Is operation paused?

Do the PNC-2300's connection parameter settings match the settings for the computer?

Is the power for the PNC-2300 switched on?

Has the connection cable come loose?

The PNC-2300 will not operate when the cover is open. Close the cover and try again.

If the [ENTER/PAUSE] key is pressed while the machine is in operation, the message “ Pause On ” appears on the display and operation is paused.

Choose “ CONTINUE ” and press the [ENTER/PAUSE] key again to cancel the paused state.

Refer to “Setting the Connection Parameters” on page 6 to make the correct settings.

Is the correct connection cable being used?

Is the correct output device set for the application or driver software?

Make sure the PNC-2300 is powered up.

Make sure the connection cable is plugged in securely with no looseness at either end.

The type of connection cable varies according to the computer being used. Also, some application software requires the use of a special cable. Make sure the correct cable is being used.

Refer to the manual for the application or driver software to set the output device correctly.

When the spindle does not rotate ...

Is “ REVOLUTION ” set to “ OFF ?” If “ REVOLUTION ” is set to “ OFF ,” the spindle will cut without rotating.

Refer to page 26 and change the setting for “ REVOLUTION ” to

“ ON .”

The power does not come on...

Is the EMERGENCY STOP switch set to

STOP ( )?

Has the power cord come loose?

If the EMERGENCY STOP switch has been depressed, the power will not come on when the power switch is turned on.

Refer to page 3 to set the EMERGENCY STOP switch to RE-

LEASE ( ).

Make sure the power cord is plugged in securely with no looseness at either end.

Cutting depth varies in places (deep and shallow cuts)

Is the workpiece flexing?

Check the setting and clamping of the workpiece.

Is the workpiece height uneven because of the double-sided tape used for securing it was stuck on poorly?

Check how well the material is secured and reload it.

* Cutting to the same depth, even of workpieces of different thicknesses can be done if the depth regulator nose is used.

30

Part 2

Cutting line varies in places

Is the workpiece vibrating because the adhesive double sided tape was stuck on poorly?

Check where the double-sided tape is affixed and reload the material.

Engraving cannot be performed at the desired location

Is there a mistake in the home position setting?

Was there a position error when the workpiece was replaced?

Refer to page 12 of “Setting the Origin (Home Position)”. Use these procedures to set the home position correctly.

Check that workpiece position setting is correct.

The letters have been cut too deep (or too shallow) and cannot be read

Is the cutter mounted securely?

Is there a mistake in the Z position?

Refer to “Loading a Cutter” on page 8 to install the cutter securely.

Increase (or decrease) the “ Z1 ” setting as needed.

When moving the cutter while in the up position the cutter tip contacts or pulls on the workpiece

Is there a mistake in the Z position?

Refer to page 16 of “Setting the Z1 and Z2 Position”. Increase the

“ Z2 ” setting as needed.

Burrs are present on grooves made during cutting

Is the cutter mounted securely?

Is the tip of the cutter worn?

Is the cutter feed speed too fast (spindle rotation speed too slow).

Refer to “Loading a Cutter” on page 8 to install the cutter securely.

When the tip of the cutter is worn, replace with a new one.

Refer to page 13 of “Feeding Speed” to find the correct feed speed

“ XY-SPEED ” and “ Z-SPEED ”, and adjust the spindle rotation speed by referring to page 14 of “Spindle Motor Revolution

Speed”.

The cutting finish is unsatisfactory

Separating the process of cutting the material into two stages makes for engraved results which are more attractive. After rouging out the general shape with “rough engraving,” “finishing” is performed to produce the final results.

For instance, to cut letters to a depth of 0.3 mm, first of all rough cut to a depth of 0.25 mm. Then continue exactly the same kind of cutting to a depth of 0.3 mm.

Error Messages

An error message will appear if incoming data has any of the errors listed in table. Since the error is shown in the display for informational purposes, the data transfer continues and you are allowed to perform the next operation.

To get the error message to go away, press the [MENU] key.

Note that even though the error message is no longer displayed after you press the [MENU] key, the PNC-2300 will retain in memory the fact that the error occurred. To clear the error internally, you can give the default instruction, IN; or the error code output instruction, OE. (The error can be cleared by turning the power off.)

Error message Meaning

Appears if an instruction that the PNC-2300 cannot interpret is sent. This error is generated if an instruction from the “ mode2 ” set is sent when the unit has been set to recognize “ mode1 ,” or viceversa. Change the setting for the recognized instruction set, using the control panel, and this error should no longer occur.

Appears if the number of parameters differs from the permissible number.

Appears if the value specified for a parameter is out of the permissible range.

Appears if an unusable character is specified.

Appears if the polygon buffer is full.

Appears if an output instruction is sent from the computer during execution of a previous output instruction. More precisely, there is a certain amount of delay between the moment an output instruction is given and the instant actual output begins. This error message appears if the new output request arrives during this delay time. (The delay time can be set using the [ESC].M instruction.)

Appears if a device control instruction that the PNC-2300 cannot interpret is sent.

Appears if an invalid parameter has been specified for a device control instruction.

Appears if the value for a device control instruction parameter exceeds the permissible limit.

Appears if the number of parameters for a device control instruction is more than that permissible.

Appears if a framing error, parity error, or overrun error occurs at the time of data reception. (There is a problem with one of these settings: Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits, or Data Bits. The protocol settings for the PNC-2300 must be made correctly in order to match the settings your computer is set to use.)

Appears if the I/O buffer has overflowed. (There is a problem with the connecting cable, or the settings for Handshaking. Make sure you are using a cable appropriate for the computer being used.

Also, check that the setting for Handshaking is correct.)

Appears if an indeterminate communication error other than the I/O errors described above has occurred.

32

Other Messages

Besides error messages related to commands or communication parameters, the following messages may also appear on the display.

Message Meaning

This message appears if repeat cutting is attempted when the cutting data exceeds 1 MB. The data cannot all fit in the PNC-2300's data buffer, so repeat cutting cannot be performed.

This message appears if cutting is attempted while the cover is open.

This message appears if repeat cutting is attempted when the data buffer is empty. Send cutting data before performing repeat cutting.

The PNC-2300 stops automatically if an excessive load is placed on the spindle during cutting. The message shown at right appears at this time. The overload may be due to excessive hardness of the material, an excessive amount of cutting, or a feed rate that is too fast. Investigate the problem and eliminate the cause of the overload.

The error can be cancelled by switching the power to the unit off and then on again.

If the cover is opened during cutting, an emergency stop is performed and this message appears. All cutting data stored in the PNC-2300 is deleted, and cutting cannot be continued.

If this message appears, stop sending data from the computer. Switch the power off and back on again to cancel the error.

A message may be displayed indicating that buildup of cuttings has obstructed table movement.

Clean away all cuttings from around the table.

Switch the power off and back on again to cancel the error.

Part 2

Device Control Instructions

The Device Control instructions determine how communication between the PNC-2300 and the computer will be handled using the RS-

232C interface; and also are employed when relaying to the computer the status of the PNC-2300. Some of them can be used to format the output for CAMM-GL I instructions.

A Device Control instruction is composed of three characters: ESC (1Bh), a “.”, and an uppercase letter. There are also two types of device control instructions: one carries parameters and the other does not.

Parameters can be omitted. Semicolons, “ ; ” are used as separators between parameters. A semicolon without parameters means that parameters have been omitted. Device Control instructions with parameters require a terminator to indicate the conclusion of the instruction. A colon “ : ” is used as the terminator, and it must not be omitted.

No terminator is necessary for Device Control instructions without parameters.

Used for performing the Xon/Xoff handshake and the ENQ/ACK handshake mode 2.

The [ESC].I instruction with no parameter performs a dummy handshake. In a dummy handshake, always returns the ACK character to the host computer, regardless of the remaining buffer capacity, when receiving the ENQ character.

Controls the DTR signal (No. 20 pin of RS-232C).

An even number parameter (e.g. 0) always sets the

DTR signal to High without performing the hardware handshake. An odd number parameter

(e.g. 1) performs the hardware handshake and controls the DTR signal according to the remaining buffer capacity.

Possible cause and action

No I/O errors

Cause: after execution of an output command, other output instructions are sent before the output was not completed.

Action: let the computer to read the PNC-

2300 output by the output instruction and then send another output instruction.

Cause: an error occurs in a device control instruction.

Action: correct your program.

Cause: parameters are overflowing.


Cause: the number of the parameters set is more than specified or a colon ':' was not used to terminate.


Cause: framing error, parity error or overrun error at the time of data receipt .

Action: match the communication protocols of both computer and PNC-

2300 (baud rate, data bit length, stop bit length).

Cause: the I/O buffer overflows.

Action: This error does not occur when hardware handshake is performed, but may occur when software handshake is performed. If this error occurs, check the remaining buffer capacity of the PNC-

2300 and send less data than the remaining buffer capacity.

PNC-2300 outputs the size of the I/O buffer to the computer when receiving this instruction.

It usually outputs 1024 (bytes).

Aborts both the currently executed device control instruction and output.

Continues to execute the CAMM-GL II instruction in operation, aborts other incoming CAMM-GL II instructions and clears the data buffer.

Initializes all settings established by the device control instructions. Execution of [ESC].R brings the same states as the following device control instructions are executed.
