Study notes

  • The CNC-D00v(DB) control provides tool center point control with look-ahead up to 1,000 blocks for simultaneous 5-axis machining.
  • Control axes are 5 (X, Y, Z, plus 2 additional axes); the 5AX control allows linear interpolation over 5 axes.
  • Standard Z-axis travel is 300 mm; a 380 mm Z-axis option is available.
  • The standard 12,000 min⁻¹ spindle is listed with 18.9 kW maximum output; main spindle motor ratings are 10.1 kW for 10 min and 7.0 kW continuous.
  • Optional spindle speeds listed for the S500Xd2-5AX are 10,000 min⁻¹ high-torque and 20,000 min⁻¹; the product specification also lists a 27,000 min⁻¹ option.
  • Tool storage capacity is listed as 14, 21, or 28 tools; maximum tool diameter is 110 mm and maximum tool weight is 3.0 kg (4.0 kg with parameter change).
  • Tool-to-tool change time is 0.6 s for 14/21 tools and 0.7 s for 28 tools; chip-to-chip is 1.2 s or 1.3 s for Z-axis 300 mm.
  • Positioning accuracy is 0.006–0.020 mm and bidirectional repeatability is less than 0.004 mm under ISO 230-2.
  • Power capacity is 10.4 kVA continuous; air supply is 0.4–0.6 MPa at 40 L/min.
  • OPC UA is listed under standard automatic/network functions; optional fieldbus slaves include PROFINET and EtherNet/IP, plus CC-Link, PROFIBUS DP, and DeviceNet.
  • The table work area is 600 × 450 mm with a maximum uniform load of 250 kg (300 kg with parameter adjustment).
  • Depending on destination, a relocation detection device may be required and models with it carry the RD suffix.

Safety

  • A safety fence is required when the optional side shutter is used for robot loading/unloading from the side.
  • The 27,000 min⁻¹ spindle option cannot be selected on Z-axis 380 mm models and cannot be combined with CTS; the 4.0 kg maximum tool weight setting is not available on 27,000 min⁻¹ specifications.
  • Set the regular air pressure higher than the recommended 0.5 MPa; the document states regular air pressure varies with machine specifications, machining program, and peripheral equipment.
