V55 Maintenance 5

1.6.6 Lifting the Machine or Components
Use only a lifting device and related equipment that is capacity rated to lift
the total weight of the machining center (and shipping skid, if the skid is
attached during lifting). Always follow the lifting instructions provided in
this Pre-Installation Guide.
Before lifting, refer to shipping documents to obtain the weight of the
machine or component being lifted. If the necessary weights cannot be
determined, consult Makino. In addition:
• Only qualified riggers should perform machine lifting operations.
• Never place any portion of your body beneath a suspended object.
• Lift the machining center only at the designated lifting points.
• Never lift the machine higher than necessary.
• Always maintain the center of gravity, by properly adjusting the leg
lengths of the lifting device.
1.6.7 Lifting Workpieces and Fixtures
Always use a lifting device and related lifting equipment that is capacity
rated for the workpiece or fixture being lifted.
• Never place hands, arms, feet, or any other portion of your body
beneath a suspended workpiece fixture.
• Always maintain the center of gravity by properly adjusting the leg
lengths of the lifting device.

1.7 Mechanical Maintenance Safety
Mechanical maintenance procedures for Makino machining centers

should be performed by properly trained and technically qualified person-
nel. They should adhere to these specific practices when working with the
machining center:
• Always perform a Lockout/Tagout procedure before removing any
safety guard, cover, barrier, or any basic component of the machining
center. See section 1.2.4.
• Block vertical sliding members before disassembling any portion of
their drive train.
• Be familiar with and adhere to safe lifting practices described in section
1.6 before lifting the machine or components.
• Never return the machining center to production until all safety guards,
covers, barriers, or other safety devices are reinstalled and confirmed
operational.
Mechanical Maintenance Equipment
Mechanical maintenance personnel should:

• Keep all hand tools in good repair.
• Use each hand tool in a manner for which it is intended.
• Never use any hand tool that is defective, broken, or worn out.
• Keep alert with regard to nearby hazards.
• Do not use extenders in an effort to gain leverage; use a bigger tool.

1.8 Electrical Maintenance Safety
Electrical maintenance procedures for Makino machining centers must be

performed by properly trained and technically qualified personnel. They
should adhere to these specific practices when working with the machin-
ing center:
• Always perform the Lockout/Tagout procedure before working on
electrical circuits. See section 1.2.4.
• Use extreme care, when troubleshooting with power On.
• With the power Off, identify and discharge any power retaining
devices, such as capacitors, before starting any maintenance
procedure within any electrical control cabinet.
Electrical Maintenance Equipment
Use only industry standard approved electrical testing equipment.

• Volt/Ohm Meters.
• Oscilloscopes.
• Static Ground Wrist Straps.
Machine Grounding
All Makino machining centers must be properly grounded at the time of

installation.
• Proper grounding requires an isolated earth ground.
• Ground the machine in accordance with local, state, and federal
regulations.
Machine Electrical Devices
Always replace defective electrical components, such as fuses, shunts,

overloads, etc., with components of the same capacity and rating as the
original equipment. If you are unsure of the correct electrical component
or part, refer to the machine’s electrical drawings or consult Makino.

1.9 V55 Vertical Machining Center Safety
In addition to safety precautions for all machining operations, the energy

generated by HSM (High-Speed Machining) requires special safety con-
siderations that must be fully understood by the operator.
1.9.1 Machine Safety Features
The Makino V55 provides the following safety features:

• Manual handle interrupt buttons, located on auxiliary operation panels,
to prevent automatic operation of that unit, when active.
• S/G (Splash Guard) door interlocks, to halt machining operations when
the splash guard doors are opened.
• [EMERGENCY] buttons, to immediately halt all machine functions.
Descriptions, operational detail, and precautions related to these safety
features are described in the Operation Guide.
1.9.2 Location of Emergency Stop Buttons
[EMERGENCY] buttons are located, as shown:

• Main operation panel – Figure 1-1.
• ATC (Automatic Tool Changer) operation panel – Figure 1-2.
• MTC (Machine Tool Cabinet) door – Figure 1-3 (pg. 1-18).
• MPG (Manual Pulse Generator) [option].
• APC (Automatic Pallet Changer) operation panel [option].
1.9.3 Location of Safety Labels
Labels attached to the machine at specific areas, identify safety risks and
provide important instructions that must be read and followed.
• S/G Door – Figure 1-1.
• Front of Spindle – Figure 1-4 (pg. 1-18).
• ATC Magazine Door – Figure 1-2.
• Scraper Conveyor – Figure 1-3 (pg. 1-18).
• Lift-up Chip Conveyor [option] – Figure 1-5 (pg. 1-19).
