Manufacturer Information
Contact details for Gie-Tec GmbH, the manufacturer of the CNC-3100.
Cooling and Safety Instructions
Do not use water or alcohol for cooling due to explosion risks. Ensure no liquids flow beneath the mounting plate. Workpieces must be securely clamped to prevent accidents. Regular cleaning of the machine is essential.
Operator Guidelines
Operators must ensure adequate ventilation to manage dust or gas. Ear protection is required if noise exceeds 70dB(A). Use spray-cooling systems instead of running water. Non-compliance may lead to mechanical or electrical hazards.
Occupational Safety
Only authorized and trained personnel should operate the machine. They must be informed about potential risks and trained in safety equipment usage.
Transport and Installation
During transport, avoid heavy vibrations. Ensure sufficient space around the machine for operation and maintenance. Use appropriate lifting equipment and ensure power cables are undamaged. Never loosen axis fastenings without professional re-measurement.
Machine Setup
The CNC machine's coordinate system is preset but can be adjusted via software. The enclosure must be intact for safe operation.
Motor Control Unit
The CNC-3100 includes a stepper control unit with various components like interface boards and relay boards. The power stages are compact and noise-free, with adjustable current and step modes.
Interface Board and Relay Board
Includes connectors for power stages, safety relays, and control inputs. The USB/LPT converter ensures continuous clock pulse output for the stepper amplifier.
Installation and Initial Operation
Ensure no mechanical defects and all parts are available before connecting the machine. The main power and USB cables are the primary connections.
Soft-CNC EdiTasc Software
EdiTasc is a real-time control software for electric motions, requiring specific PC specifications. It supports multiple axes control and features like look-ahead and teach-in.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners is necessary. Lubricate shaft guides and drive shafts every 500-1000 hours using rolling bearing grease. Ensure the machine is powered off and unplugged during maintenance.
Faults
If the power supply cannot be switched on, check if the hood is closed, the emergency stop is locked, and the watchdog from control software is active.
