24 Preparation (Clone)

This section specifies the correct methods and precautions for ensuring correct handling of the machine throughout the transportation process, as well as risks to be aware of.

24.1 Site Preparation

Identifying a suitable location for the machine is critical to the ensuring the safe and success-ful use of the machine. It is recommended that plans are made well in advance of the ma-chine delivery to ensure an easy and safe installation.

24.1.1 Minimum space needed

When selecting the location to install the machine, find an area where the following space re-quirements are met:

• Allow space to access the rear of the machine for maintenance and repairs
• Allow additional space around the machine for servicing and safe operation
• Leave room for removing the coolant tank and the swarf trays

In ideal conditions allow at least 600 mm all around the machine. This arrangement will allow you to access every side of the machine safely.

If space is limited then, a distance of at least 600 mm is required from back of the machine to wall. The LEFT side of the machine must remain accessible. See Figure 71

As the controller panel cannot be rotated, allow at least 100 mm between the RIGHT side and a wall for better ergonomics.

24.1.2 Installation site requirements

Selecting a suitable installation site with a proper foundation is essential to ensuring the performance and safety of SYIL 5 Series machines.

This section specifies general and environmental requirements for machine installation sites.

CAUTION

Before installing the machine, fully read and understand the safety instructions in this manual
Ensure the ground is free of lubricant oil, grease, or water to prevent slipping and falling during installation
Ensure that the machine has been correctly installed before operating it for the first time

The following environments are suitable machine installation sites:

Environments free of condensation or dew brought by daily temperature changes
Environments with flat, slip-resistant surfaces
Well-supplied, well-maintained public facilities
Environments with sufficient space for adjustment or repositioning of the machine
Environments without fire or explosion hazards

The following installation environments are not suitable machine installation sites:

Environments with direct sunlight, proximity to a heat source, or with heavy temperature fluctuations
Environments with high levels of dust or humidity
Environments located near vibrating machinery
Environments built on soft foundations
Environments with slanted or slippery flooring

If any special components have been selected for installation on the machine, ensure there is enough space for their maintenance.

24.1.3 Environmental Requirements

The following table specifies detailed environmental requirements for machine installation sites:

Environmental factors	Unit	Requirements
Temperature	°C	10 - 40
Relative Humidity	%	10 - 75
Lighting	lux	> 300
Air Quality	AQI	< 100

NOTE: Put the machine in an area with an ambient temperature of around 20 °C.

Do not install the machine in a location near large vibration sources, such as punch Poor machining accuracy may result as well as bearing damage (False Brinelling)
Do not expose this machine to direct sunlight and moisture (e.g. water from a leaking roof)
Do not place this machine near to magnetic and static electric fields
Do not place this machine near any equipment causing electronic noise

24.1.4 Foundation requirements

Ensure the foundation and floor are capable of supporting the machine’s weight. The foundation must be able to support the weight of the machine and should be constructed of continuous concrete (reinforced is best).

The thickness and consistency of the concrete must be compatible with industry standards for supporting machine weight. Actual requirements will depend upon the physical properties of underlying soil.

All SYIL machining centres sit on levelling pads that allow the machine to be manually levelled. The coolant tank can also be levelled, but the floor must be flat enough for it to be wheeled out as needed.

Consider the following:

the weight of the machine
the heaviest possible work piece to be

The SYIL X5 sits on 3 levelling feet on a triangle as shown in Figure 72. Consult your local facility team or a relevant expert if concerns arise as to the suitability of the floor to withstand the weight.

24.1.5 Electrical service requirements

The customer is responsible for providing incoming electrical power to the SYIL X5 machine.

(a) Power and voltage requirements

NOTE: The machine’s full load power rating can be found on the serial number identification tag that is affixed to the electrical power cabinet. Consult customer service for an accurate rating of your machine ahead of time to ensure the correct cabling is present.

A certified electrician should ensure the following electrical service requirements:

On-site wiring must comply with all applicable electrical codes
Dedicated, grounded 3-phase AC power is required to prevent high/low voltages, spikes, surges, and noise
The AC power source shall be balanced and must match the voltage specifications on the machine electrical cabinet
Wiring to the machine must be capable of supplying continuous specified amperage
Failure to provide the required power parameters may affect safety, machine performance, and the warranty

(b) Transformer requirements

NOTE: In location where the mains power is different from 380-415 V Phase to Phase, a suitable transformer is required.

If a transformer is required and the machine was not equipped with one, the customer is responsible for providing a transformer. The transformer must meet SYIL machine operating voltage requirements. It is the customer’s responsibility to have a qualified electrician connect the transformer to the power source.

(c) Machine grounding

The electrical and electronic control systems of the machining centre are interconnected internally and terminate at a single point ground (SPG) terminal. The SPG provides only one conducting path between the machine and external ground, preventing an unwanted ground loop (ground differential voltage). The SPG is located inside the machine power cabinet.

The SPG must be properly connected to the ground circuit of the AC power source. The grounding conductor must be sized to conform to all applicable electrical codes.

24.1.6 Compressed air requirements

A continuous supply of clean and dry compressed air is required for proper machine operation. Compressed air will

connect to the machine’s filter, regulator, lubricator (FRL) unit.

Sufficient air capacity must be supplied to ensure the correct operation of the SYIL X5. A compressor with a capacity greater than 50 litre and 90 psi is recommended.

Air humidity dew point: 2 °C (35 °F)
The machine is equipped with a push fit hose connection for 10 mm diameter pipe
Avoid using quick-coupler type fittings at the connection to the FRL unit or in the supply line to the machine because these fittings may restrict the air supply

24.2 Transport of the Machine

To prevent potential injuries and equipment damage before, during, and after installation, it is essential to follow the correct procedures for transporting SYIL 5 Series machines to their installation sites.

24.2.1 General precautions

The machine will be delivered inside a crate. The base of the crate is a metal pallet (skid). The main machine body and the coolant tank are fastened for transportation to the pallet.

The main machine body must be lifted from the pallet. Lift the machine with a forklift.

Manoeuvring of the machine on a flat floor can be done with machine skates or a suitably sized and rated pallet truck.

WARNING

Do not lift any other articles during transportation of the machine
Do not go under the machine while it is being lifted
Keep a safe distance from the machine and lifting equipment to avoid being struck during transportation
Never operate the machine until transportation fixing devices are completely dismounted

CAUTION

Before transporting the machine, check to ensure its components are correctly and securely installed
Lift the machine slowly to ensure it remains completely balanced throughout the moving process
Ensure the machine’s body, electrical control panel, and other electrical equipment
are not subjected to strong vibrations during transportation
Remove the coolant compartment from the machine before transportation
Ensure that the machine is positioned so that it will not hinder transportation in any way. If there is insufficient space for loading the machine on the transport mechanism, contact the person in charge of the worksite where it will be installed about adjusting the machine or other measures for ensuring transportation
Once the machine is placed at the installation site and does not need to be moved further, ensure operating personnel are aware of any safety considerations arising from the installation process before they begin work
To ensure safety, always use fixing devices to hold the machine’s spindles in place

during transportation
