Kongsberg X-series Suction house, adjustable height On MultiCUT-HP, you can lock the suction house in any height; still, it is allowed to move upwards. This function is useful in order to 1. Adapt to different material thicknesses. 2. Allow false air input in order to reduce suction force. Procedure: 1.
Page 96 Kongsberg X-series Depending upon the material processed, milling introduces some risks. It is a good rule to keep an eye on a milling job being executed. Pay special attention to: • Do not leave the machine running if the vacuum cleaner can be over-ﬁlled. This might cause damage, or in worst case a ﬁre if the suction house is clogged.
Page 97 Kongsberg X-series Hearing protection The noise generated by milling varies with the material being processed and running parameters. Hearing protection is highly recommended and may even be mandatory. Spindle speed Never use speeds higher than recommended by the bit supplier. Special care should be taken when using bits with cutting diameter larger than shank diameter.
Page 98: Precautions
Kongsberg X-series 12.8.5. Precautions Follow these precautions to take care of the milling spindle, which is a high precision unit, that can get damaged by careless use. Supervision of the milling spindle power Machine Panel->Spindle Power The MultiCUT-HP spindle is prepared for continuous operation between 0 – 100 % Watt. A power load of 70-80% will allow good working conditions for the Spindle Motor.
Page 99 Kongsberg X-series Chuck Open/Close valve operation Never operate the Chuck Open/Close valve while the spindle is running. This will destroy the spindle. Air Pressure and Quality Never run IBAG spindle with Pressurized Air disconnected. This may destroy the spindle. Keep this in mind also for test purposes.
Page 100 Kongsberg X-series Long term storage More than 4 weeks storage of a spindle or a MultiCUT/MultiCUT-HP requires: 1. Turn the spindle by hand about 20 turn every 4 weeks. 2. Spindle must be stored horizontally. Consider having a replacement spindle If MultiCUT-HP is used in regular production, it is recommended to have a Replacement Spindle.
Page 101: Milling Advice
Kongsberg X-series 12.8.6. Milling advice Follow this advice for obtaining the best possible milling results. Milling bits For thin materials, use bits with short cutting length. For best performance and minimum wear, do not let the bit stick out more than necessary .
Page 102 Kongsberg X-series Never use higher RPM than recommended by the bit supplier. Special care should be taken when using bits with cutting diameter larger than shank diameter. Bits with small cutting diameter (3-4 mm; 0.12-0.16 in) are more balanced than bits with larger cutting diameter Thus, they can run with higher RPM, normally 60.000.
Page 103 Kongsberg X-series Acrylic or Multi Purpose bits 1. Acrylic Bits (A) are polished, extra sharp for acrylic, wood etc. 2. Multi Purpose Bits (MP) have a higher wear resistance, and are suitable for aluface, plastics, MDF, plywood, wood etc. Multi Purpose Bits can be identiﬁed by a small tooth at the tip (left hand bit on the picture).
Page 104: Cleaner Device
Kongsberg X-series 2. Cover unused table area to increase Vacuum Hold Down Level. 3. Use Wash-Out functions instead of creating small waste parts. Using other tools in combination with the MultiCUT-HP It might be necessary to reduce the acceleration in order to achieve an optimal Cutting Quality when combining a heavy tool head with high quality cutting tools.
Page 105 Kongsberg X-series Lock the house in its up position. Observe that the milling bit is not rotating. Use a cloth to hold the bit. Move the Chuck Open/Close lever down to open the Chuck. Put the bit in a proper storage container. Insert a new milling bit.
