Introduction

This manual is referred to when using the MITSUBISHI CNC E70 Series.

This manual explains how to operate, run and set up this NC unit. Read this manual thoroughly before using the NC

unit. To safely use this NC unit, thoroughly study the "Precautions for Safety" on the next page before use.

Details described in this manual

CAUTION

For items described as "Restrictions" or "Usable State" in this manual, the instruction manual issued by

the machine tool builder takes precedence over this manual.

Items not described in this manual must be interpreted as "not possible".

This manual is written on the assumption that all option functions are added. Confirm with the

specifications issued by the machine tool builder before starting use.

Refer to the Instruction Manual issued by each machine tool builder for details on each machine tool.

Some screens and functions may differ depending on the NC system (or its version), and some functions

may not be possible. Please confirm the specifications before use.

Refer to the following documents.

Precautions for Safety

Always read the specifications issued by the machine tool builder, this manual, related manuals and attached

documents before installation, operation, programming, maintenance or inspection to ensure correct use.

Understand this numerical controller, safety items and cautions before using the unit.

This manual ranks the safety precautions into "DANGER", "WARNING" and "CAUTION".

Note that even items ranked as " CAUTION", may lead to major results depending on the situation. In any case,

important information that must always be observed is described.

The following sings indicate prohibition and compulsory.

The meaning of each pictorial sing is as follows.

DANGER

When the user may be subject to imminent fatalities or major injuries if handling is mistaken.

WARNING

When the user may be subject to fatalities or major injuries if handling is mistaken.

CAUTION

When the user may be subject to bodily injury or when physical damage may occur if handling is mistaken.

This sign indicates prohibited behavior (must not do).

For example, indicates "Keep fire away".

This sign indicated a thing that is pompously (must do).

For example, indicates "it must be grounded".

Mitsubishi CNC is designed and manufactured solely for applications to machine tools to be used for industrial

purposes.

Do not use this product in any applications other than those specified above, especially those which are

substantially influential on the public interest or which are expected to have significant influence on human lives or

properties.

Not applicable in this manual.

1. Items related to operation

If the operation start position is set in a block which is in the middle of the program and the program is

started, the program before the set block is not executed. Please confirm that G and F modal and

coordinate values are appropriate. If there are coordinate system shift commands or M, S, T and B

commands before the block set as the start position, carry out the required commands using the MDI, etc.

If the program is run from the set block without carrying out these operations, there is a danger of

interference with the machine or of machine operation at an unexpected speed, which may result in

breakage of tools or machine tool or may cause damage to the operators.

Under the constant surface speed control (during G96 modal), if the axis targeted for the constant surface

speed control moves toward the spindle center, the spindle rotation speed will increase and may exceed

the allowable speed of the workpiece or chuck, etc. In this case, the workpiece, etc. may jump out during

machining, which may result in breakage of tools or machine tool or may cause damage to the operators.
