How to operate CNC Milling Machine

You should set the machine to zero so that it can use the dimensions in the
program to cut the raw material accurately. When a CNC machine is
started, it does not have a reference point. Place the machine in manual
mode by pressing the positive X axis traverse button for one second. You
should follow that by pressing the Y axis button and the Z axis button. This
will allow the machine to set a reference point based on a home position.

You should set the vise or work-holding device on the table. Place a dial
indicator on the spindle and manually move it above the vise. Place the tip
of the dial indicator on the front jaw and manually move the dial indicator
along the X axis. If the indicator does not move, the vise is straight. Tap it
in whichever direction to adjust it if the indicator moves and tighten when
straight. Remove the dial indicator and send the spindle back to the home
position.

Place all of the needed tools into the tool turret. Place the machine in tool
teach mode and call up each tool individually. The tool teach mode can
usually be found on the tool information screen. The machine will
automatically bring each tool to the probe and you will hear a beep when
the tool is taught.

Using any of the tools, touch the top of the raw material and set the Z zero
point. The machine will use this location to determine any depth cuts. This
dimension is crucial to machining and must be as accurate as possible.

Place an edge finder in the spindle and set to 1000 RPM. RPM stands for
revolutions per minute. Place the tip of the edge finder very close to the
right side of the material. Slowly bring the edge finder closer to the material.
When it touches the side, you will see the tip of the edge finder line up with
its body. Continue in that direction until the tip becomes misaligned again.
That is the edge of the X axis, set the X zero to this point. Follow the same
directions on the Y axis and set that point as Y zero.

Send the spindle to the home position and start the program. Set your
rapids very low. Rapids dictate the speed of the spindle during tool
changes and the approach it takes for cutting. You can make adjustments
to the rapids with the override on the face of the control and set them
anywhere between 0 and 100, which is full speed. Make sure it is coming in
at the correct spot and watch the first piece closely to watch for any
mistakes or errors in the setup.
