SAFETY FUNCTIONS
The machine is equipped with the following safety functions in addition
to the emergency stop function.
Safety functions for operator protection

1. Door open interlock mechanism
The machine is interlocked so that it cannot be automatically started
when its front door is open.
2. Safety door lock mechanism

This mechanism consists of the front door of the machine and a safety
door switch that locks the front door. It electromagnetically locks the
front door so that the front door cannot be opened after the start of
automatic operation. (The front door cannot be opened until the
electromagnetic lock is released.)
Safety functions for machine protection

1. Motor overload protection function
When an electric current exceeding the specified limit flows to all of the
spindle motor, table motor, and coolant pump motor, this function
interrupts the electric power to the motors and protects them. It also
instantaneously stops the feed of the spindle to protect the grinding
wheel.
2. Servo system overload protection function

When an electric current exceeding the specified limit flows to the servo
system or when the servo system is overheated, this function interrupts
the electric power to the servo system and protects it. This condition
is indicated as a servo alarm by the rapidly blinking red light of the
signal tower (rotating beacon light tower).
3. Spindle upper overtravel limit switch mechanism

The position of the spindle is detected by a limit switch so that the
spindle does not overtravel upward during manual operation. When
the spindle rises to the specified position, the limit switch automatically
stops the spindle. When the limit switch has failed, the spindle is
stopped by a mechanical stopper.
4. Grinding wheel and tool breakage prevention mechanism

If the grinding wheel and the tool are inadvertently brought into contact
with each other when the spindle is being manually lowered, a buzzer is
sounded, and the spindle is instantaneously stopped.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Checking air discharge
Check that compressed air is discharged from the accessory air gun.
At the same time, check the air pressure at the pressure gauge of the
filter regulator. The compressed air is absolutely necessary for
accurately determining the grinding start position. If no air is
discharged from the air gun or the air pressure is lower than specified,
the machine cannot be properly started. Solve the problem, and use
the machine.

Preparing coolant
 The coolant may irritate the skin after long

CAUTION
or repeated contact. When handling the
coolant, wear protective gloves.
Add water into the coolant tank to about 90% of the height so that the
coolant is diluted 30 to 50 times. (The full capacity of the coolant tank
is 34 L (8.98 US gal).)
Replace the coolant level detecting electrode unit and filter case.
Store the drain hose in the filter case to complete preparing of the
coolant.
Be sure to check the coolant level before starting the operation of the
machine. With the machine stopped, open the lower door, and check
that the coolant is filled above the lower cooling water level marked on
the coolant tank. If the coolant level is below the lower cooling water
level, immediately add the coolant. When the coolant level is lower
than the specified level, the low coolant level interlock does not allow
the machine to be operated.
IV-2
NOTICE
 A lack of the coolant introduces air into the coolant pump, reduces the
coolant discharge rate, and burns the grinding wheel and tool. To prevent
these conditions, the machine is stopped by the low coolant level interlock as
soon as the coolant level drops below the specified level. Be sure to check
the coolant level.

completed, the grinding wheel rises by 0.2 mm (0.008”).
6 Check that the coolant is discharged as soon as the compressed
air is turned off. The grinding wheel resumes the lowering motion
and starts the grinding motion after the completion of the
approach.
7 The coolant may not be discharged immediately after the start of
the grinding motion, but there is no problem if the coolant is
discharged until the spark-out is completed.
NOTICE
 The dresser can be used dry. If the coolant is not discharged until the end
of automatic operation, prime the coolant pump. The coolant pump in the
machine is shipped empty. It must be primed before use.
IV-8
Priming coolant pump
Prime the coolant pump as described below.
1 Remove from the coolant tank the end of the hose leading from
the coolant pump to the coolant tank.
2 Raise the end of the hose as high as possible, and pour water into
the hose using a funnel or the like.
3 Add the water until it comes close to the end of the hose.

OPERATING PROCEDURES
Operate the machine as described below.
Turning on power of machine, and checking air supply and coolant

level
Turn on the shop circuit breaker, and turn
on the main power circuit breaker switch of
the machine shown at right. The instant
the power is supplied to the machine, some
sound may come from the motors. This is
not a trouble.
Check the compressed air supply condition
and the coolant level before starting the
operation of the machine.
With the power supplied to the machine,
check that the signal tower on the top of
the electrical box indicates the following
conditions:
RD (Red) light
On: Front door of machine is open
RD
Off: Front door of machine is closed (red)
YE (Yellow) light
YE
On: Power of machine is turned on (yellow)
If the signal tower indicates any other
condition when the power of the machine is GL
turned on, there is some problem. (green)
Especially when the red light is blinking,
check the machine for emergency stop,
thermal relay trip, servo alarm, or coolant
level. If any abnormal condition is found,
contact us.
Setting tool
It is basic practice to set a tool in the scroll
chuck for grinding. If chips or other
foreign matter is deposited on the jaws of
the scroll chuck, the tool cannot be
properly ground in the horizontal direction.
Be sure to blow off the chips or the like with
compressed air and to wipe the chuck jaws
with waste cloth. Similarly clean the tool.
Special jigs are required for some types of
tools. For detailed types and usage of
jigs, refer to Part V.
NOTE
 Be sure that no foreign matter is deposited on the jaws of the scroll chuck
and the surface portions of the tool that come into contact with the chuck
jaws. If there is any such foreign matter, the tool cannot be properly ground
in the horizontal direction.
IV-10
Setting grounding amount
Inspect the tool to be ground for wear, and
check that the tool is properly mounted in
the scroll chuck. Set the grinding amount
with the GRINDING DATA SET digital
switches shown at right. Be sure to set
the grinding amount before the start of
automatic operation. As described in Part
III, Controls, the two-digit value set here is
the grinding amount. If the digital
switches are set at “05” as shown at right,
the grinding amount is 0.005” for the US
machine and 0.05 mm for the EXP.
machine.
Preparing for automatic operation

Once the grinding amount is set, close the front door of the machine in
order to lower the spindle. Take care not to have your hand caught in
the front door or struck against the door switch key. Close the front
door by gently inserting the door switch key attached to the front door
into the safety door switch attached to the table cover.

If the red light of the signal tower goes out, press and hold the
GRINDING WHEEL DOWN button shown below until the spindle
(grinding wheel) lowers at high speed and the grinding wheel comes
close to the tool.
Do not lower the grinding wheel less than
10 mm (0.5”) close to the tool. If the
grinding wheel is brought too close to the
tool, the air blow time is shortened, the
water deposited on the tool and grinding
wheel cannot be properly removed, and the
grinding start position cannot be accurately
determined.
NOTE
 When lowering the spindle at high speed, never take your eyes off the
grinding wheel. The grinding wheel lowers as long as the GRINDING
WHEEL DOWN button is pressed and held. Take note of this fact, although
there is a safety mechanism that sounds a buzzer and stops the spindle as
soon as the grinding wheel touches the tool.
Starting automatic operation

When the grinding wheel is brought close enough to the tool, press the
ONE CYCLE AUTO START button shown below. The respective
steps of the automatic operation of the machine are described below.
1 As soon as the ONE CYCLE AUTO

START button is pressed, its white
light comes on. At the same time,
the safety door switch
electromagnetically locks the front
door of the machine, and its orange
LED comes on.
2 The grinding wheel head and table LIGHTED
rotate. The grinding wheel head then
lowers at medium speed while
discharging compressed air.
IV-12
3 The air blows water off the grinding
wheel and tool, so that the grinding
start position can be accurately
detected. LIGHTED
4 The IN POSITION buzzer sounds,

and the grinding wheel head rises by
0.2 mm (0.008”) at medium speed.
5 The air blow is stopped, the coolant discharge is started, and the
grinding wheel head lowers at low speed to approach the tool.
6 When the grinding wheel head reaches the grinding start position,
it changes to the grinding motion. It lowers at low speed and
grinds the tool by the specified amount.
7 When the grinding of the tool by the specified amount is
completed, the grinding wheel head stops lowering and changes
to finish grinding (spark-out). The spark-out continues for 50 sec.
8 After the spark-out, the grinding wheel head rises by 50 mm
(1.969”) at high speed, stops, and completes the automatic
operation.
9 After the end of the automatic operation, the safety door switch
electromagnetically locks the front door as long as the grinding
wheel rotates under inertia. The electromagnetic lock is released
about 3 to 5 sec after the complete stop of the grinding wheel.
When the electromagnetic lock is released, the green LED of the
safety door switch goes out. Check this condition, and open the
front door.
During the automatic operation, the signal tower indicates the following
conditions:
RD (Red) light
Off: Automatic operation is under way

IV-13
Interrupting automatic operation
Press the STOP AND GRINDING WHEEL
UP button to interrupt the automatic
operation of the machine due to an
improper setup of the grinding amount, for
example.
The interrupt function is effective in all
motion areas after the start of automatic
operation. (The grinding operation can
also be interrupted.) As soon as the
button is pressed, the automatic operation
command is canceled, and the grinding
wheel head starts rising at high speed.
The grinding wheel head stops after a rise of 50 mm (1.969”) from the
position where the button was pressed. Since the grinding wheel is
still rotating under inertia, the safety door switch electromagnetically
locks the front door of the machine. When the automatic operation is
interrupted, the front door cannot be opened until 3 to 5 sec after the
complete stop of the grinding wheel.
Usually, press the STOP AND GRINDING WHEEL UP button, not the
EMERGENCY STOP button, to interrupt the automatic operation.
When the automatic operation is
interrupted, the signal tower indicates the
following conditions: RD

Pressing EMERGENCY STOP button
When such an emergency occurs that
makes it unavoidable to interrupt the
automatic operation of the machine, the
EMERGENCY STOP button shown at right
is pressed to stop the machine.
Unlike the interruption of automatic
operation, the depression of the button
instantaneously stops all power to the
machine, so that the grinding wheel head
does not rise either. Since the grinding
wheel head is supported by the gas springs
so that it does not fall under its own weight,
it may sometimes rise slightly.
Since the grinding wheel continues to rotate under inertia, the safety
door switch electromagnetically locks the front door of the machine.
The front door cannot be opened until 3 to 5 sec after the complete stop
of the grinding wheel.
The EMERGENCY STOP button is also used to clear an alarm that
occurs in the servo system. For details, refer to Part VII.
The EMERGENCY STOP button is locked when pressed and can be
unlocked by turning it clockwise.
When the machine is stopped in an
emergency, the signal tower indicates the

Check items and precautions during automatic operation

Checking grinding wheel
When the automatic operation of the
machine is started, the pointer of the
ammeter indicating the load factor of the
spindle starts to swing. The ammeter
reads 4 A or less when the spindle is idling.
The current during the grinding operation
changes with the material type and cutting
edge size of the tool to be ground.
IV-15
Check the ammeter in daily use. When the ammeter continues to
indicate a current value of 6 A or more, dress the grinding wheel as
described in “Method and jigs for dressing grinding wheel” in Part V,
Types & Usage of Jigs.
NOTICE
 When grinding a large-diameter tool made of high-speed tool steel and with
high grinding resistance, take care that the current does not exceed 6 A.
Depending on the grinding amount, grind the tool in several steps.
 Unless the grinding wheel is dressed, the motor protection function actuates
frequently, and a servo alarm occurs. If this condition is repeated
excessively, the resultant overcurrent may cause the failure of the servo
amplifier. If the machine continues to be operated without stopping the
grinding operation, there occurs the surface polishing phenomenon (mirror
condition) that no grinding is actually performed on the tool. Dress the
grinding wheel.
Precautions for safe operation

 Never remove from the machine the safety
WARNING
door switch that monitors whether or not
the front door of the machine is open and
locks the front door during the automatic
operation of the machine, although you
may feel some inconvenience with it.
The removal of the safety door switch not
only causes the loss of the safety
function, but disables the automatic
operation.
 The front door is locked
electromagnetically by a timer as long as
the grinding wheel rotates under inertia
after the completion or interruption of
automatic operation, or the emergency
stop of the machine. Never adjust the
time preset with the timer without our
permission.
 The electromagnetic lock of the safety
door switch (front door) is released when
the shop circuit breaker or the main power
circuit breaker switch has tripped or the
electric power has failed. Open the front
door after checking that the grinding
wheel has completely stopped.
IV-16
Removing tool and installing another tool
When the grinding of the tool is completed,
the grinding wheel head rises by 50 mm
(1.969”) from the grinding start position and
stops. If the tool is likely to interfere with
the grinding wheel when removing the tool
or installing another tool, press and hold
the GRINDING WHEEL UP button to raise
the grinding wheel head. Visually check
to see so that you do not mistake the
button to be pressed.
If the grinding wheel is allowed to interfere
with the tool, it may chip or break.
Particularly when changing from the
grinding of a die to that of a Type A (1/2”) or
B (1-1/4”) punch, the grinding wheel
interferes in that position. Raise the
grinding wheel head beforehand.
Raise grinding
wheel head.
IV-17
Ending grinding operation
NOTICE
 The scroll chuck easily rusts if left to stand contaminated with the coolant for
two or three days. This rust prevents the chuck jaws from properly opening
and closing. Be sure to clean, lubricate, and spray rust-preventive oil to
them.
End the grinding operation as described below.
1 Turn off the main power circuit breaker switch of the machine.
2 Turn off the shop circuit breaker.
3 Blow the water and chips off the scroll chuck and surrounding
parts with compressed air, and wipe them with a waste cloth.
4 Spray rust-preventive oil to the scroll chuck.
5 Apply an appropriate amount of grease to the scroll chuck through
the nipple (pump the grease gun once or twice).
6 When the machine is not in use, keep its front door open as much
as possible, in order to remove moisture and to protect the jig and
chuck against rusting. This recommendation does not apply in a
dusty environment.

The scroll chuck supplied as standard accessory and mounted on the
table as shown below is used for grinding the 2”, 3-1/2”, and 4-1/2” dies
without special jigs. The 2” die is fixed in the lower stage of the scroll
chuck, and the 3-1/2” and 4-1/2” dies are fixed in the upper stage of the
scroll chuck. Be sure to clean the die contact surfaces of the chuck
jaws and the bottom surface of the die.

CHUCK
When grinding a large-diameter die, some portions of the die top

surface may be left unground, despite the cleaning of the chuck jaws
and die. In such a case, the die may be bowed. Grind the bottom
surface of the die. Grind the entire bottom surface of the die, check
that no portions are left unground, and grind the top surface of the die.
The top and bottom surfaces of the die can be thus ground parallel.
NOTE
 When a Sheet Saver die is ground, the grinding pattern may not be uniform
at its center. This does not affect the tool accuracy and punching operation.

NOTICE
 When grinding a punch with a shear angle, be sure to check that the grinding
wheel surface and tool grinding surface are horizontal. Otherwise the
grinding wheel may be damaged. Never change the preset grinding amount
of each side during the grinding operation. Otherwise two sides of the
cutting edge will be ground to different lengths.
When grinding a 2” or 3-1/2” punch body with a shear angle, install a

sleeve for each size in the jig shown above.
Set the sleeve in the ring of the jig, and fix it with the set screw. Set
the punch body in the sleeve, fix it with the set screw, and grind it in the
same way as described for the 4-1/2” punch body.
NOTICE
 With whatever grinding method to be used, be sure to clean the jig and
punch of any foreign matter before setting the punch in the jig. Otherwise
the cutting edge of the punch may not become horizontal or the grinding
wheel may be chipped during the grinding operation. After its use, be sure
to clean the jig and scroll chuck, apply rust-preventive oil to it, and store it.
V-8
PROHIBITING GRINDING CLUSTER TOOLS
NOTICE
 Never use the machine to grind cluster tools. Otherwise the cluster tools
and the grinding wheel of the machine will be damaged.
The grinding wheel of the machine is positionally related to tools set in

the scroll chuck as shown below. In other words, the tool center aligns
with the grinding wheel width center. When the grinding wheel grinds
a tool whose cutting edge is to be ground by reference to the tool center,
it remains in contact with the tool.
With cluster tools as shown below (as well as with tools whose cutting
edge center is offset), there occurs a region where the grinding wheel
does not touch the tool cutting edge as the grinding wheel lowers. In
such a case, the cutting edge of the tool may strike hard against the
grinding wheel and minutely chip the grinding wheel. If this condition
lasts long, the grinding wheel may eventually crack.

METHOD AND JIGS FOR DRESSING
GRINDING WHEEL
The method and jigs for dressing the grinding wheel are described
below.
Using the accessory dresser, dress the grinding wheel in the same way
as test operation (see “Test operation” in Part IV, Operation).
When the grinding wheel does not grind but simply polishes during daily
use or the spindle motor current continues to exceed 6 A during the
grinding operation, dress the grinding wheel immediately. When
large-diameter tools are ground frequently, the grinding wheel is likely
to be plugged. Check the condition of the grinding wheel often.
When these large-diameter tools are made of high-speed tool steel,
dress the grinding wheel early. Failure to do so may cause the
grinding unit to be stopped frequently by the motor protection function.
Dress the grinding wheel as described below.
1 Set the dress stick in the dresser holder, lightly fix it with the
accessory set bolt, and fix the dresser holder with the scroll chuck.
2 Set the GRINDING DATA SET digital switches at “08” for the US
machine and at “20” for the EXP. machine, and press the ONE
CYCLE AUTO START button. The dressing of the grinding wheel
is completed when the automatic operation is completed.

CHANGING GRINDING WHEEL
The timing and procedure for changing the grinding wheel are
described below.
Timing for changing grinding wheel

The grinding wheel is about 5.0 mm (0.197”) thick. Since there is a
0.5-mm (0.020”) thick adhesive layer between the abrasive grains and
wheel, the actual thickness through which the grinding wheel can be
used is about 4.5 mm (0.177”). The life of the grinding wheel changes
with the grinding conditions. The grinding wheel is worn by about
0.001 mm (0.00004”) and 0.03 mm (0.0012”), respectively, when it
grinds a Type B (1-1/4”) die and a Type E (4-1/2”) die by 0.1 mm
(0.004”) each. The abrasive grains cannot be reapplied to the grinding
wheel.
Procedure for changing grinding wheel

The grinding wheel should be changed by a person qualified for
handling the grinding wheel as described below and as prescribed by
applicable law.
1 Be sure to turn off the main power circuit breaker switch of the
machine.
2 Wipe off water from the grinding wheel with waste cloth.
3 Remove the four M6 bolts securing the grinding wheel to the
grinding wheel head. Cover the holes of the scroll chuck with
waste cloth or the like so that the bolts are not dropped into the
scroll chuck.
4 Remove the grinding wheel from the grinding wheel head.
5 Install the new grinding wheel in the grinding wheel head by
reversing the above procedure.

protective gloves so that you do not get
your hands hurt.
VI-3
LUBRICATING WITH GREASE
Periodically lubricate the following parts of the machine with grease.
Lubrication methods: Lubrication with grease gun from

centralized grease lubrication manifold and
grease nipples
Manual lubrication interval: Spindle and table bearings: Two strokes
(approx. 4.5 cm3 or 0.15 fl.oz.) of grease

NOTICE
 Apply the specified amount of the grease at the specified interval.
Excessive regreasing may cause the grease to ooze out and the machine to
malfunction.
 When the grease oozes out and sticks to the outer circumference of the
grinding wheel, wipe it off with a waste cloth or the like. If the grease breaks
the continuity between the grinding wheel and continuity-ensuring plate
spring, the resultant inability to detect the grinding start position may cause
the breakage of the grinding wheel and tool.
VI-4
CHANGING AND DISPOSING OF COOLANT
Check the condition of the coolant every day, and change and dispose
of the coolant on your own responsibility as described below.
A lack of the coolant causes air to be drawn into the coolant pump.
The resultant low discharge rate of the coolant burns the grinding wheel
and a tool. A low coolant level interlock also stops the operation of the
machine. The coolant tank is fitted with a filter. When the coolant is
contaminated with a large amount of grinding swarf, the tool is ground
with poor finish. To prevent these phenomena, properly change the
coolant as described below.
Changing coolant
 The coolant may irritate the skin after long

CAUTION
or repeated contact. When handling the
coolant, wear protective gloves.
Changing timing
Be sure to change the coolant every month, irrespective of the
operating frequency of the machine. Be sure to check the coolant for
level and contamination before the start of work every day. When the
coolant is low in level or dirty, change it immediately, regardless of the
interval specified first. Do not add a fresh coolant to the one already
present in the coolant tank. When the coolant tank is dirty, clean it as
well.
Changing procedure
A label indicating the low mark is affixed to the coolant tank. Add
water to 90% of the height of the coolant tank so that the coolant is
diluted 30 to 50 times and in a sufficient amount to remain above the
low mark during the operation of the machine.
Specified coolant
As coolant, use the Togu Grinding Oil (Amada).
Prepare the coolant so that

it is diluted 30 to 50 times
and in a sufficient amount COOLANT
to remain above the low TANK
mark during the operation
of the machine.
After changing the coolant, LOW
be sure to install the MARK
coolant level detecting
electrode unit and filter
case in the coolant tank.
NOTICE
 Never add a fresh coolant to the one already in the coolant tank. Unless the
entire coolant is changed at a time, some of the grinding swarf and other
foreign matter remain and continue to contaminate the coolant. Such a dirty
coolant has a serious effect on the finish of ground tools and causes the
failure of the coolant pump.
VI-5
Disposing of coolant
It is prohibited to dump the used coolant. It must be incinerated and
landfilled as prescribed by applicable law. If you cannot take this route,
ask an authorized contractor to dispose of the used coolant. The
safety data sheet of the coolant used on the machine is attached in Part
VIII. For the detailed precautions on the disposal of the coolant, refer
to the safety data sheet.
CLEANING, CHANGING, AND DISPOSING

OF FILTER
Check the condition of the filter every day, and clean, change and
dispose of the filters on your own responsibility as described below.
The coolant tank is fitted with the filter case. The bottom of the filter
case is made of punched metal and covered with two nylon filter cloths.
The coolant is passed through the filter to remove grinding swarf. The
filter is clogged with grinding swarf relatively early in its use. The filter
cannot play its intended role in this condition. Clean and change the
filter early as described below.
Changing and cleaning filter

Changing timing
The filter is white in the new condition and becomes darker with
increasing length of usage. Further use allows grinding swarf to
accumulate on the filter surface as shown in the photo below. Be sure
to check the condition of the filter before the start of the day’s work.
Clean the filter as soon as you notice an accumulation of grinding swarf.
Change the filter when cleaning fails to remove the accumulated
grinding swarf from the filter.
New filter Used filter
Cleaning procedure
Place the filter in a water-filled bucket, and gently wash it with gloved
hands. Change the filter when it cannot be properly cleaned. Do not
dump the water used for cleaning the filter into the sewerage.
VI-6
Specified filter
As filter, use the nylon filter 5103642-3 (Amada).
 Wear gloves to protect your hands when
WARNING
cleaning the filter. Use an
Amada-specified filter as replacement
filter. Never use commercial filter paper.
Otherwise the coolant pump may clog or
fail.
Disposing of water used for cleaning filter and used filter

The water used for cleaning the filter contains fine particles of grinding
swarf. Do not dump it into the sewerage. This precaution also
applies to the used filter. Do not discard it as ordinary solid waste.
Ask an authorized contractor to dispose of the used filter like the used
coolant.
VI-7
CHANGING ACRYLIC SHEET OF FRONT
DOOR
The front door of the machine uses an acrylic sheet so that the grinding
condition can be seen. Change the acrylic sheet when it is cracked or
otherwise damaged.
The acrylic sheet is screwed to the frame of the front door. Be sure to
change it for the specified repair part. If the specified repair part is not
available in an emergency, use a commercial acrylic sheet of 6.0 mm
(0.236”) or more in thickness to fabricate an emergency repair part.
ACRYLIC
SHEET
 When you must use a commercial product

WARNING
in an emergency, be sure to use an acrylic
sheet of the thickness specified in the
manual. When a thinner acrylic sheet or
sheet of different material is used, pieces
of the tool, if broken during grinding, may
break through the sheet in a dangerous
manner.
VI-8
CHANGING CONTINUITY-ENSURING
PLATE SPRING
The continuity-ensuring plate spring is a consumable part. Before
starting the operation of the machine, check that the end of the
continuity-ensuring plate spring touches the grinding wheel. Change it
as described below when its end is worn and no longer touches the
grinding wheel.
1 Loosen the bolt fixing the continuity-ensuring plate spring, and

remove the worn continuity-ensuring plate spring.
2 Tighten a new continuity-ensuring plate spring with the bolt for
securing the tool detection signal line in the grinding wheel head
housing.
Install the continuity-ensuring plate spring so that its end is in tight
contact with the outer circumference of the grinding wheel.
3 If the end of the continuity-ensuring plate spring is not in tight
contact with the outer circumference of the grinding wheel, remove
the continuity-ensuring plate spring, and install it again while
bending its end inward.
4 After installing the continuity-ensuring plate spring, when grease
sticks to the outer circumference of the grinding wheel and the end
of the continuity-ensuring plate spring, wipe it off with a waste
cloth or the like.

 The YE (yellow) light also comes on (yellow)
when a servo alarm has occurred or
the coolant level is low.
GL
(green)
Each alarm is described in detail
below together with its clearing
method.
Servo alarms
Servo alarms refer to servo system troubles and are classified into the
following main types:
Overload: This alarm occurs when the servo motor used to move the
spindle meets the greater than specified resistance.
Motor overheat: This alarm occurs when the heat generated in the
servo motor exceeds the preset level. It is likely to occur especially
when the grinding wheel is used as loaded for a long period of time.
Pulse overflow: This alarm occurs when the actual number of motor
rotation pulses is different from the commanded number of motor
rotation pulses.
Remedy: Each alarm can be cleared by pressing the EMERGENCY
STOP button and canceling the servo command. After clearing the
motor overheat alarm, allow 1 to 2 min before restarting the servo
motor.
Low coolant level

The coolant level is below the low mark.
Remedy: Increase the amount of the coolant so that the coolant level
remains above the low mark during the operation of the machine. If
the alarm cannot be cleared, there is another cause.
