Course description

This course is run at the Mills Mills CNC Training Academy, Leamington Spa (depending on availability) or on-site.

This is a practical course aimed at companies, including Mills CNC customers, who have Siemens-controlled Doosan lathes or similar Siemens-controlled machines manufactured by other machine tool builders.

The course will appeal to companies who have an in-house Machine Tool Maintenance or Service Department and need to increase the skill levels of their employees, thus enabling them to plan and undertake systematic trouble-shooting and preventative mechanical maintenance on Siemens-controlled lathes.

To get the most from this course it is important that attendees have experience of a machine tool’s mechanical operation and the CNC control’s  systems and functions.

Specific course content includes:

  • Explanation of the Siemens Control system
  • Introduction to the Lathe and its 2 axis Single Spindle layout and configuration
  • Turret Build Up, Workings and alignment both Radially and Perpendicular to Spindle
  • Ball-screw accuracy, checking backlash and rectifying issues
  • Undertaking axis realignment to take in the Spindle and Tailstock
  • Calibrating Tool Probe and setting (if applicable)
  • Understanding Spindle assembly including Chuck and Brake operation and mechanisms
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic mechanisms
  • Tailstock Setting, and Quill adjustment
  • Operation, fault-finding and preventative maintenance
