21 SETUP MENU (Column A Tool Selection 2-Stage Setup) 2-Stage Tools Only available when a tool equipped with a two stage hone head is available for use. User will be asked to select the type of hone head and honing cycle. Hone Head: Stone-Brush Hone head equipped with a set of stones and a set of brushes. Stone-Stone Hone head equipped with two grades of stones. Honing Cycle: Roughing Only Hone using only the roughing stage. Finishing Only Hone using only the finishing stage. Roughing-Finishing Hone using both stages, roughing then finishing. NOTE: When a Two-Stage hone head is used, regardless of honing cycle setting, both stages MUST be setup. This requires entering parameters for roughing stage by pressing the Roughing Button on the top of each setup page. And entering finishing stage parameters by pressing the Finishing Button on the top of each setup page. Press OK will return you to previous screen. Pressing CANCEL will return you to previous screen. Function Keys F1 Previous Screen: Inactive 15

22 SETUP MENU (Column A Honing Parameters) The Honing Parameters are calculated by the information you have inputted into the system during setup. INSERT The insert depicts screen for two-stage applications. Select any of the items to change. Pressing CANCEL again will return you to Setup Menu. (Go to Page 4.) NOTE: If you cancel you will have to manual select each specification, system will not walk you through it. See Part Specifications (Go to Page 5). Spindle Speed The SV recommends a spindle speed based on diameter. This can be edited. However for safety, there is an upper limit based on diameter. Speed can also be reduced, but a common mistake is to slow spindle down for safety without changing any other parameter. When spindle is slowed and feed rate is unchanged torque load on tool increases and actually makes a crash of tool or fixture more likely. If spindle is slowed significantly, feed rate should be reduced by same percentage. Stroke Length The SV program calculates stroke length for application based on bore length and abrasive length from a previous screen. In general, this value should only be changed to correct a honing problem such as bellmouth or barrel shaped bores. In some applications it may be necessary to change stroker length from value calculated. Stroke Speed Stroke speed is calculated by the SV based on stroke length. This can be edited to a slightly faster value, but the SV limits this to protect internal stroker mechanism. Stroke speed can be slowed, but there is usually an increase in spindle load when stroker is slowed down. 16

23 Spindle Tool Load Limit The SV calculates a safe spindle torque limit based on tool selected for operation. 100% rating is 100% of this tool limit, not 100% of spindle motor torque available. This value can be reduced to further safeguard tools and fixtures from damage due to high torque. However, by their nature, Krossgrinding Tools require increasing more torque as they wear. Therefore, reducing spindle torque limit will effectively reduce tool life at feed rate selected. Therefore, 100% setting is recommended except where long running applications have demonstrated a history of tools or fixtures failing before Spindle Load Limit function can warn operator of a worn tool. (NOTE: Spindle Load Limit cannot protect tools, especially small tools, from significant, abrupt increases in torque. For example if a tool rapidly feeds into a bore that is significantly undersized, the SV system cannot stop spindle quickly enough to save tool. Spindle load display and limit function is primarily useful as an indicator of tool wear which gradually increases torque over time. Honing Options Selecting one of the Honing Options will active one or more of the Inactive Honing Parameters Tabs at bottom left of list. Allow Cycle Start Anywhere In Bore Allows the cycle to start when the stroker is at any point within the bore. Otherwise the cycle will start only once the stroker is moved to the center of the bore. Pre-Hone Position Rate In some applications the operator may want to either increase or decrease the rate at which the stroker carriage moves. This option controls the speed of the carriage as it moves from the loading position to the honing position. Pre-Hone Spindle Rotation Selecting Pre-Hone Spindle Rotation actives Pre-Hone Spindle Speed. Pre-Hone Spindle Speed In some applications it may be useful if the tool is rotating at a very slow RPM as it enters the workpiece bore. This allows you to edit speed of rotation within range from 20 to 100 RPM. Post-Hone Position Rate In some applications the operator may want to either increase or decrease the rate at which the stroker carriage moves. This option controls the speed of the carriage as it moves from the honing position to the unloading position. Post-Hone Spindle Rotation Selecting Post-Hone Spindle Rotation actives Post-Hone Spindle Speed. Post-Hone Spindle Speed In some applications it may be useful if the tool is rotating at a very slow RPM as it withdraws from the workpiece bore. This allows you to edit speed of rotation within range from 20 to 100 RPM. Low Torque Sensitivity In applications with very light tool load the rapid until load feature does not work well. Select this option to set the load range lower, so the load sensitivity is increased, to help make rapid until load work properly. This feature is not suitable for applications with spindle loads above 40%. Manual Stroker Setup Enable is feature to allow for manual setup for top and bottom of stroke for honing. NOTE: Caution should be used when enabling manual stroker setup. All stroker limits are removed. Improper use can cause extreme damage to part, tooling and/or machine. Offset Stroke This feature is only available for blind bore parts. Normally when the stroke position (center of stroke) is set the tool abrasive is stroked equally above and below the center of the part. Sometimes, in blind bore parts, it is desired to have the center of stroke to be offset from the center of the part. That way the bottom of stroke could be with the abrasive at the bottom of the part but the top of stroke could be with half the abrasive out of the part. Simply put this option allows for much wider stroke lengths and stroke adjustments. 17

24 Select HONING OPTION. Then select tab, key in information and press OK to go to return to this screen. Press NEXT to go to next screen. (System will walk you through setup.) Pressing BACK will return you to previous screen. Pressing NEXT will ask you to press OK to go to next screen. Pressing CANCEL will return you to the Part Specification Screen. (Go to Page 5.) Pressing CANCEL again will return you to Setup Menu. (Go to Page 4.) NOTE: If you cancel you will have to manual select each specification, system will not walk you through it. See Part Specifications (Go to Page 5). Function Keys F1 Previous Screen: Inactive 18

25 SETUP MENU (Column A Pre Honing Feed Parameters) The Pre-Honing Feed Parameters are calculated by the information you have inputted into the system during setup. OPTIONAL SCREENS Refer to page 21 for optional screens for two-stage & timed cycle applications. Select any of the items to change. Pressing CANCEL again will return you to Setup Menu. (Go to Page 4.) NOTE: If you cancel you will have to manual select each specification, system will not walk you through it. See Part Specifications (Go to Page 5.) Retract Amount This is the Tool Load Clearance. Between cycles tool will retract to a diameter that is smaller than start diameter by amount of this clearance. Default is 0.05 mm (.002 in). More clearance will reduce possibility of tool not entering workpiece bore and damaging tool or fixture. Rapid Feed Rate - This is rate at which the tool expands at beginning of a cycle from retracted diameter to diameter at which honing will begin. Decreasing this rate will reduce possibility of a serious failure if an undersized hole should reach this tool. However, cycle time will be longer. Accepting default maximum rapid rate will keep cycle time to a minimum but it increases chance for a major failure if an undersized workpiece reaches tool. However, other measures may be taken to reduce chance of such a failure, see Amount Before Start. Preload Amount - This setting will allow the tool to partially expand prior to starting the spindle. This is the amount that the tool will expand prior to starting the spindle. It has been found generally with the smaller CGT tools, that when the tool is retracted, the tip of the tool tends to drop. When it starts to expand, the tool rises back to its running position. If the spindle starts to rotate and the tip of the tool has dropped, it will have quite a bit of runout. Running a tool in this way, particularly the smaller tools may cause tool damage. 19

26 Amount Before Start - In theory it should be possible to rapidly feed a tool right up to start diameter for workpiece at that station. However, in practice, this can cause problems. For example, if operation in question is preceded by a previous operation, there is likely to be some tool wear in previous operation. Until this wear is detected and tool size compensated, previous tool will create progressively smaller bores (slightly). At next operation, a tool that is fed at rapid feed rate up to theoretical start diameter will expand into slightly undersized bore at full speed. A tool failure or at least a torque impact, which is detrimental to tool, is likely. By setting some Amount Before Start, rapid feed will cease at this position prior to start and much slower honing feed rate will begin. The proper amount varies with application. If previous operation is a process controlled directly by feedback from an air gage, then Amount Before Start can be very small or even zero. But if previous process is monitored by infrequent manual checks from operator, then Amount Before Start should be at least amount that you expect prior tool to wear before it is measured and compensated. Conditioning Amount/Time The amount of material to take out before the normal honing cycle begins. For Timed Cycles this value is entered in seconds. Conditioning Rate The rate t o take t he mat er ial out befor e the normal honing cycle begins. Auto Bore Detection Force (ABD) (Linear Feed) The feed force at which the bore is detected. This is used at beginning of cycle and automatic bore snugging. ABD Upper Offset Position Only available for Multiple ABD. The top most position in the bore for ABD to be performed. This value is relative to the center of bore. ABD Offset Position Available for both ABD and Multiple ABD. The middle position in the bore for ABD to be performed. This value is relative to the center of bore. ABD Lower Offset Position Only available for Multiple ABD. The bottom most position in the bore for ABD to be performed. This value is relative to the center of bore. Feed Options Selecting one of the Feed Options will active one or more of the Inactive Honing Parameters Buttons. Timed Cycle This feature changes the Pre Honing, Honing and Post Honing parameter pages to allow for timed feed control instead of position feed control. Bore Conditioning This feature allows for correcting slight geometry issues before honing. It will take out the specified amount of material at the specified rate before the normal honing cycle begins. Rapid Until Load - This option is available when selected. This allows the tool to feed up until it sees a certain amount of load instead of a rapid advancing to a particular position. This function cannot be used with Automatic Bore Detection. Rapid Until Force (Linear Feed) This option is available when selected. This allows the tool to feed up until it sees a certain amount of feed force instead of a rapid advancing to a particular position. Auto Bore Detection (Linear Feed) This feature runs the feed out until the bore is detected. Then the feed is slightly retracted and the normal honing cycle starts. Multiple ABD Detection (Linear Feed) This feature is the same as ABD except rather than detecting the bore at 1 location the bore is detected at 3 locations (top, middle, and bottom). This is helpful on tapered parts when the taper can change location from part to part.

28 SETUP MENU (Column A Honing Feed Parameters) The Honing Feed Parameters are calculated by the information you have inputted into the system during setup. OPTIONAL SCREENS Refer to page 23 for optional screens for two-stage & timed cycle applications. Select any of the items to change. Honing Feed Rate [ ] - Only one Honing Feed Rate is required. The SV calculates a single recommended honing feed rate based on workpiece parameters entered during setup. This can be edited, but any increase in feed rate should be tried in small increments under careful observation to avoid any tool or fixture damage. In some applications there may be a benefit to initially feeding faster or slower than rest of cycle. There may also be a benefit to feeding faster or slower toward end of honing cycle. For this reason the SV provides option to use two additional feed rates. Feed rates are numbered 1, 2, and 3. If more than one is used, they will occur in that order during honing. Clicking appropriate check box activates additional feed rates. NOTE: After activating step 2 or 3 you will then have to input a starting diameter and a rate for additional feed rates selected. Step [ ] Stop Diameter/Time If you have activated Step 2 or 3 then you will have to input diameter at which this feed rates ends. Default values that show for stop diameter are merely a guess by the SV program and should not be taken as recommended values. For Timed Cycles this value is entered in seconds. Feed Options Selecting one of the Feed Options will active step 2 and/or step 3 of the Inactive Honing Parameters Tabs at bottom left of list. 22

If you are making a new set up and have not yet been in all of the Feed Parameters screen, cycle time shown here is based on some recommended feed rate. It is displayed on this screen because some of parameters on this screen also have an effect on cycle time. As you edit these parameters, you can see how estimated cycle time changes. This can help you to optimize cycle time as well as honing performance. NOTE: Cycle time shown is an estimate for honing cycle. Actual part to part cycle time depends on loading and unloading time which usually depends on several factors that cannot be controlled by machine.

34 SETUP MENU (Column A Post Honing Feed Parameters) The Post Honing Feed Parameters are calculated by the information you have inputted into the system during setup. OPTIONAL SCREENS Refer to page 30 for optional screens for two-stage & timed cycle applications. Sizing Amount/Time - Sizing process is feeding honing tool very slowly for a very small amount of stock removal right up to final size at end of honing cycle. This has been shown to improve bore size repeatability, bore geometry, and to a small degree, surface finish. But there is a slight penalty of longer cycle time. For Timed Cycles this value is entered in seconds. Sizing Feed Rate - Typically the Sizing feed rate will be much slower than Feed rates 1, 2, and 3. However, the available range for the Sizing feed rate is the same as that for Feed rates 1, 2, and 3. Sparkout Time - Sparkout is allowing honing tool to rotate and stroke in workpiece bore for a period of time after feeding stops. Beneficial effects are similar to Sizing process (see Sizing). Whether sparkout should be used instead of sizing and, if so, amount of sparkout should be determined experimentally. Default value of 2 seconds is usually a good starting point. As with sizing, there will be a longer cycle time when sparkout is used. Sparkout Feed Rate Allows for the feed to be retracted during sparkout. This can be useful in trying to eliminate cosmetic scratches or swirl marks in the bore. Select any of the items to active: 28

35 Tool Withdraw Under normal operation, at the end of a cycle, the spindle and stroker come to a complete stop at the same time the feed reaches the retract diameter. With super fine stones this can cause cosmetic scuff marks in the bore. With this feature enabled, at the end of a cycle, the feed is retracted the withdraw amount. Then the stroker and spindle are stopped and then the feed is sent to the retract diameter. Backlash Amount The feed system has almost negligible amount of backlash. However, some of the tooling couplings have a large amount of backlash. Use this variable to ensure the tooling is retracted enough to compensate for this. NOTE: Backlash can be entered either as diametrical tool expansion or as linear feed travel. Choose the entry method you prefer. Select FEED OPTIONS. Feed Options Selecting one of the Feed Options will active one or more of the Inactive Honing Parameters Tabs at bottom left of list. Honing Info This information is calculated by the information you have inputted into the system during setup. Cycle Time - At bottom of this screen is an estimate of honing cycle time. If you are making a new set up and have not yet been in Feed Parameters screen, cycle time shown here is based on some recommended feed rate. It is displayed on this screen because some of parameters on this screen also have an effect on cycle time. As you edit these parameters, you can see how estimated cycle time changes. This can help you to optimize cycle time as well as honing performance. NOTE: Cycle time shown is an estimate for honing cycle. Actual part to part cycle time depends on loading and unloading time which usually depends on several factors that cannot be controlled by machine. Crosshatch Angle - Crosshatch angle shown is a value calculated from spindle and stroke speed. For most applications crosshatch angle is unimportant and default should be accepted. If an application requires a certain crosshatch in finished bore, then this can be accomplished two ways. First is to alter spindle speed or stroke rate in this screen until desired crosshatch value is displayed. However, changing spindle speed or stroke rate for entire honing cycle can adversely affect honing performance. Since crosshatch angle that will be permanent is really only generated in last brief moments of honing cycle, a special crosshatch is more efficiently produced during a sizing or sparkout process on last operation. This can be set directly to desire value after activating sizing or sparkout options. Crosshatch Options: Default Use the crosshatch achieved from the honing spindle and stroke speeds. Simple Use the entered crosshatch. Crosshatch angle is achieved by increasing or decreasing the spindle speed to generate the desired crosshatch. Constant Use the entered crosshatch. Crosshatch angle is achieved by adjusting the spindle speed profile to match the stroke profile to generate a constant crosshatch through out the bore. Crosshatch Angle Enter the desired crosshatch angle. Rate/Tool Load/Force Rate The feed will be run at a constant rate for this sizing Tool Load (Rotary Feed) The feed will be run at a constant spindle load for sizing Force (Linear Feed) The feed will be run at a constant feed force for sizing NOTE: For Tool Load/Force additional parameters must be entered by pressing the Spindle Load Parameters button or the Force Parameters button in the Honing Feed Parameters Page.

50 SETUP MENU (Column A Snug Tool) Snug Diameter The feed system needs a reference point from which it will determine encoder positions that correspond to critical diameters. The process of setting this reference point is called Snugging because you will expand tool inside a workpiece until the workpiece is snug on tool. You will first tell the machine the exact diameter of workpiece that you will use for this process (Snugging Part Size). Any diameter within range of tool will work but for best results, use a workpiece that is close to finish size for that operation. Auto Bore Detection Force (ABD) (Linear Feed Only) The feed force at which the bore is detected. This is used at the beginning of a cycle and for automatic snugging. Guide Pot Diameter The diameter of the installed guide pot. Enable Minimal Abrasive Check Select this option to Enable Minimal Abrasive Check. (Go to Page 46). Manual Select this option to manually teach the part size. You will need to expand the tool with the hand wheel until the workpiece is snug on the tool. It is a good practice to either slide the workpiece back and forth on the tool or giggle the tool while in the workpiece to assist in feeling when the workpiece is getting snug. As a safe rule of thumb, a workpiece is considered snug when the abrasive just starts to grab the part. However, there are exceptions to this rule. An accurate snugging feel will come with experience. However, accurate snugging is not a requirement because after the first workpiece is honed and measured an adjustment can be made to compensate for the snugging inaccuracy. NOTE: Expanding the tool too tightly in the workpiece can cause damage to the tool. Automatic (Linear Feed Only) Select this option, if available, to have the machine automatically snug the part. You will need to use the hand wheel to move the tool s abrasive to approximately the center of the bore. Then the machine will do the rest. 44

52 Figure A: Snug Tool page for a column (in this situation, Column A). In this situation an Out of Abrasive position is not set, and 2-stage honing is being used. MANUAL OUT OF ABRASIVE FEATURE During honing process, a tool s abrasive stones are continuously wearing down. Feed system expands/retracts appropriately to compensate for this stone wear. Over time, stones will end up being completely worn down, exposing tool s underlying metal that houses stones. Since this could lead to metal grinding against metal and thus cause damage to a tool, Sunnen software has introduced the ability to limit chance of this happening via its Manual Out of Abrasive Feature. As of version , user now has the ability to set a position on feed system that indicates where abrasive would be completely worn down this is for both linear and rotary feed systems, and holds for both single-stage and two-stage honing. This is done via a column s Snug Tool page (see Figure A) using Enable Minimal Abrasive Check checkbox. In order to get to this page, user must be in Setup Menu. Once in Setup Menu, choose the appropriate column setup screen, and then click Snug Tool button on column s Tool tab. Once user is on Snug Tool page, they can enable Out of Abrasive check by clicking on checkbox which says Enable Minimal Abrasive Check. It should be noted that this checkbox is only enabled if user has already completed snugging process (i.e. Snug Status icon is green). Once user clicks on this checkbox, user will then be able to set Out of Abrasive position via Set Column Out of Abrasive Diameter dialog. 46

53 Figure B : Out of Abrasive dialog for a linear feed system, with dimensions shown in inches. In this situation Out of Abrasive position has not yet been set. Current position of feed rod is at inches. SETTING OUT OF ABRASIVE POSITION (Linear Feed Systems) For linear feed systems, user will initially be presented with a dialog that is illustrated in Figure B. Note that user is allowed to either manually enter feed position where abrasive is completely worn down, or user can choose to teach this position. Linear feed systems have a finite travel limit for its feed rod. As a result, an operator may know that when a new tool with fresh abrasive stones is installed, the lifespan of a tool s abrasive stones always run out at a known feed rod position. If this is the case, then user can simply enter this value by clicking Enter value button. Figure C : Out of Abrasive dialog for a linear feed system, with dimensions shown in inches. In this situation Out of Abrasive position has been set at 4.33 inches, and current position of feed rod is at inches. As an example, suppose a user knows that for a particular tool with fresh abrasive stones installed, it will always run out of abrasive once feed rod reaches 4.33 inches (or 110 mm). User can then simply click Enter value button, enter 4.33 in corresponding value entry dialog, and result is illustrated in Figure C. In Figure C, blue horizontal line indicates where Out of Abrasive position of 4.33 inches would be located, and black horizontal line indicates where current feed rod position is at. Grey area to right of this line indicates that feed rod will not be able to travel into this area without generating a fault. Red area indicates how far feed system has already traveled. Yellow area is a small area between red and green area indicating start and final position feed system will travel when next honing cycle is run. Green area indicates how much feed travel is left. Thus, as honing process continues, red area will grow larger, and green area will shrink. 47

54 Figure D : Snug Tool page for a column where the Out of Abrasive position has been successfully set. Assuming user then clicks OK button, an Out of Abrasive position would now be set for this column s feed system. As a result, Snug Tool page will indicate this, as shown in Figure D. Note that there is now a new button displayed, which says Manual Abrasive Trip Position, and it indicates feed rod position Out of Abrasive position is set to. 48

55 Figure E : Error dialog shown when system determines that feed system would travel beyond Out of Abrasive position. Once feed rod has traveled far enough (i.e. yellow area straddles Out of Abrasive position), system will then know tool s lifespan has been reached, and will generate a fault next time user tries to run a cycle. User will then be shown a fault dialog, which is illustrated in Figure E. At that point user will then be forced into Snug Tool page, where they can then check to see if tool is in fact nearly out of abrasive. If so, they can then replace abrasive stones, go through Snugging process again, and continue with honing. However, if stones appear to have some life yet, they can then either turn off Out of Abrasive check (simply uncheck Enable Minimal Abrasive Check checkbox), or adjust Out of Abrasive position. 49

56 Figure F: The Out of Abrasive dialog for a linear feed system in Teach mode. In certain circumstances, though, user might not know an exact position on feed rod where abrasive will be completely worn down. In this case, it might be easier to teach this position. Figure F illustrates this scenario. Note that dialog shows a warning to user, indicating that tool should not be inside part when user is attempting to teach this position. In teach mode, user expands feed system until abrasive stones are almost fully exposed, and then user presses Teach button. During this process user should be careful that stones do not actually extend so far that they fall out of tool, as putting them back in could be a painstaking process. Figure G : The Out of Abrasive dialog for a linear feed system in Teach mode with an Out of Abrasive position set at inches (or mm). 50

57 Figure H : Warning dialog that will be shown to user if feed system ever travels more than approximately 0.1 inches while Out of Abrasive dialog is being shown and is then closed. Figure G illustrates this example scenario, where user has taught an Out of Abrasive position successfully. Note that when in teach mode, black horizontal line (which indicates where current feed rod position is at) is now overlapping blue horizontal line (which indicates where Out of Abrasive feed position is at). At this point it would be in user s best interest to manually move feed system back to its original start position (i.e. left side of yellow area of graph, or far right end of red area), being careful to make sure abrasive stones are also retracted. As a reminder to user, if feed system ever travels more than approximately 0.1 inches, it will display a warning to user reminding them of this, via warning dialog shown in Figure H. Figure I : Warning a user will be shown if they set an Out of Abrasive position inside yellow area of graph. Yellow area of graph indicates start -> final position feed system will travel during next honing cycle. It should be noted that if user ever tries to set an Out of Abrasive position inside yellow area of graph, they will be shown a warning as illustrated in Figure I. This warning stipulates that this is most likely a bad position to set, because next time a cycle is run it will immediately trip Out of Abrasive position, because final feed rod position will be beyond Out of Abrasive position set point. Remember that an Out of Abrasive position can be set for both single-stage tools, as well as two-stage tools. In addition, user can also set an Out of Abrasive position for rotary feed systems, albeit process differs slightly than process used for setting an Out of Abrasive position for linear feed systems. 51

58 Figure J : Out of Abrasive dialog for a rotary feed system with no Out of Abrasive value set in manual entry mode. SETTING OUT OF ABRASIVE POSITION (Rotary Feed Systems) For rotary feed systems, user is also able to either manually enter in a value for Out of Abrasive value, or they can teach this position. However, since a rotary feed system does not have a definitive minimum and maximum position for feed rod s travel, entering in a value is done differently than for linear feed systems. Figure J illustrates view of the Out of Abrasive dialog with no Out of Abrasive value set when in Enter value mode (as opposed to teach mode). Note that there is an additional button available on dialog in this case Help button. Since we cannot enter in a meaningful position for a rotary feed system, we instead enter in a value which represents how much abrasive is left before it would run out of abrasive material, termed abrasive height. Figure K : Help dialog presented when user clicks help button. This is to illustrate to user how one should measure abrasive height. 52

59 To help user determine what value should be entered in for this abrasive height, user can click help button and they are then presented with a help dialog which illustrates how one would measure this abrasive height, which is illustrated in Figure K. Generally, one would simply measure abrasive height, click Enter value button, enter the abrasive height value, and you are done (please take care to enter in a value in units that match current settings if using English units enter in inches, if using metric enter in millimeters). However, there are times that measured abrasive height, H, is larger than value a user can enter into this field. If this occurs, it is in order to prevent tool damage, because if feed system actually traveled that far, it would end up bottoming-out tool, thus rendering it useless. In this scenario, it is best to simply enter in largest value you can, and that should suffice. Figure L : Out of Abrasive dialog for a rotary feed system with a valid Out of Abrasive value set in manual entry mode. This value effectively indicates amount of feed travel that is left for tool, or alternatively, abrasive height. Once this value is entered, dialog then indicates how much approximate feed travel is left before Out of Abrasive warning is shown to user, as indicated in Figure L. Figure M : Out of Abrasive dialog for a rotary feed system no Out of Abrasive value set, sitting in teach mode. In this case, user is moving feed system until abrasive stones are extended almost fully. If one would rather not go through process of measuring abrasive height, one can always use teach method, which was described earlier. Figure M illustrates a user using teach method, right before they have decided to actually teach this value. In this case, user is in process of expanding abrasive stones outward until they are almost fully exposed. One can tell that stones are being expanded because the current feed position, denoted by black horizontal line, is beyond yellow area and nearing tool s limit (far right position of graph). 53

60 Figure N : Out of Abrasive dialog for a rotary feed system with a valid Out of Abrasive value set, sitting in teach mode. Note that this indicates to user approximate amount of feed travel left before Out of Abrasive error is triggered. Once stones are fully extended, user can then press Teach button, and this then sets Out of Abrasive value for user, essentially setting amount of feed travel left. Figure N illustrates this scenario, where a user has successfully taught an Out of Abrasive position Figure O : Snug Tool page for a column with a valid Out of Abrasive value set. Note that it indicates approximate amount of feed travel left for feed system, as opposed to a finite feed rod position. Figure O illustrates how Snug Tool page will look one user has successfully entered in a valid Out of Abrasive value. Note that unlike a linear feed system, a rotary feed system always displays approximate amount of feed travel left, as opposed to a finite feed rod position. Thus, as more and more parts are honed, approximate feed travel left will approach 0. Once system detects that feed system has no more travel left, it will then trigger Out of Abrasive error dialog to occur next time a run cycle is attempted. 54

61 Important Out of Abrasive Position Information Feed system s Out of Abrasive feature is an optional feature. One does not have to use this if one does not feel comfortable with its use - it is simply there to help prevent damage to tools and parts. It is recommended that user should use manual entry mode whenever possible. This is because when using teach mode, user is moving feed system in an attempt to move abrasive stones as far out as they can go. This could cause a) abrasive stones to fall out, b) tool to bottom-out if feed system is moved too far, and c) one should make sure that the abrasive stones have retracted back into tool once done with teach process. If using teach mode to set an Out of Abrasive value, one should always take care to make sure that tool is not inside the part. If this is done, both part and tool damage can occur. When powering-up a unit, if user has moved the feed system one a rotary feed column, Out of Abrasive position will most likely be lost, because its reference point has changed. For example, when powering-up a machine which has a rotary feed system, Sunnen software always asks user if feed system has moved. If it has, then user should always set Out of Abrasive value back up if this feature is being used for both part and tool safety. 55

62 SETUP MENU (Column A Align Tool) This page will only be displayed if alignment is required or you have chosen to align the tool. Tool Alignment (Expandable Tools) - Use following procedure: 1. Install a concentric alignment bushing on tool using same snugging process used to set tool diameter. Many standard sizes of alignment bushings are available from Sunnen. If you prefer you may use or make any bushing with I.D. concentric to OD and a length that is at least equivalent to 4 x I.D. NOTE: For best results use an alignment bushing with an I.D. that is inside range that tool will be honing. Using an I.D. that is close to final size for that operation will be best for very tight tolerance honing. NOTE: Do not snug too tightly or too loosely. On some tools, tool runout is altered by axial load of tool s wedge. It will be best to adjust runout when tool s wedge is loaded as it will be when honing. 2. Attach Sunnen runout indicator to spindle housing and adjust it so that indicator points will contact alignment bushing. For best results, spread points as far away from each other as possible. 3. Turn Runout Knob on indicator counterclockwise until it stops. Then turn knob clockwise one turn. 4. Loosen Indicator Clamp Knob and rotate indicator assembly on its post until Reference Gage Point comes in contact with tool arbor. Then tighten Clamp Knob. 5. Turn Runout Knob counterclockwise, toward conical symbol, until it stops. This brings reference point and indicating point in contact with arbor for measuring conical runout. 6. Rotate spindle by hand, taking note of location of highest reading. 56
