The maximum values indicated for axis X and Y correspond to the surface area of the piece
resting on the machine work table. The value indicated for axis Z corresponds to the maximum
thickness of the piece that can be machined without interfering with the operating section when it is
moved. Information relating to workability of the piece must be calculated each time, taking into
account the maximum movements to be performed by the operating section unit carrying out
machining operations, the position of the piece on the work table, the dimensions of the tool and
the working dimensions of any other units on the operating section. On axis X and Y it is also
possible to load pieces with larger dimensions than the ones indicated. In this case, always check
that the piece is safely supported and locked before starting machining operations.

The minimum dimensions are not easy to define, since the intensity of the vacuum clamping
system depends on porosity, thickness and dimensions of the piece. In addition, the minimum
clamping intensity differs for each type of tool used. Whenever questions arise concerning the
effectiveness of the standard clamping system, the use of auxiliary clamping systems is
recommended (stop clamps, front pushers, etc.). In any case, BIESSE is available for any further
information or clarification that may be required.

The working area is the area on work table in which machining operations are performed. The
work table is divided into 2 or 4 working areas. The working areas on the left hand side of the work
table are known as SX1 and SX2, whereas those on the right hand side are DX1 and DX2. Each
working area has one or more reference points for positioning of the piece (see Work table origin
pag. 3 - 5). It is possible to lock one piece at a time in each working area.

A row of stops is the whole set of front or rear stops. The front stops form the first row and the rear
ones form the second row. Each row of stops allows a specific work table origin to be selected (see
pag. 3 - 5). The row of stops to be used for machining operations is selected using the relative
soft-key on the PLC keyboard.

The origin is a reference point used to calculate the coordinates for movement along the axes. The
machine has 2 types of origin:
q
machine origin;
work table origin.

0DFKLQHRULJLQ
The machine origin, or absolute origin, is the maximum distance to the left, to the rear or upwards
that the operating section can move to. This position, which is set when the machine is installed, is
used as the main reference point and all the other origins will be calculated using this point. The
reference point for the machine origin on the operating section is spindle number 1 on the boring
head. This reference can be changed by selecting any one of the other spindles and slots.

The work table origin allows the machine to identify the position of the piece. The work table origin
for axes X - Y is the angle formed by the stops, and for axis Z it is the contact surface of the
shapeable suction cups. There can be 4 or 8 of these origins along axes X and Y. The number of
origins on the work table depends on the rows of front and rear stops that are present. Origins are
identified as follows:
X
5
Origins X and Y on the work table can be of 2 types:

q
straight origin;
mirror origin.
Straight origin
This is the origin used to perform a program in which the initial coordinate is the top left hand
corner of the piece. Origins 1, 3, 5 and 7 are straight origins.
Mirror origin
This is the origin used to perform a program in which the initial coordinate is the top right hand
corner of the piece. Origins 2, 4, 6 and 8 are mirror origins.
Example of machining using straight or mirror origin
The following example shows a program containing the instructions necessary to perform a
vertical boring operation at X = 100 and Y = 70, and the result obtained with the different origins.

The following gives a description of the procedures and rules to be followed when installing tools in
the magazine. After the tools have been installed it will be necessary to input the data in the
numerical control. To do this, consult the Users and Programming Manual. The magazine can
house 7 tools with a maximum diameter of 140 mm without any problem. It is also possible to
install aggregates, which must be appropriately positioned. If large tools (max 160 mm) or
aggregates are installed it will be necessary to check that they are compatible with the tools fitted
in adjacent holders. There are also limits to the maximum working dimensions of tools.
To position a tool, proceed as follows.
1.
Using the manual movements performed by the numerical control, move the operating
section to a position allowing easy access to the magazine. The best position is the one
furthest to the left, furthest forward and furthest down.
2.
Turn the Tooling selector on the control panel to the right and remove the key to prevent the
machine from being put into operation accidentally.

Machining the pieces forming the rough outline of the arch (step 1)
The pieces that, when assembled, will form the
rough outline of the arch are machined starting
from rectangular pieces of wood. Machining
consists in forming joints A at an appropriate
angle. The angles and the number of pieces will
depend on the shape and size of the arch. There
are also (optional) software packages available
which speed up the calculations required.
Joints A on the pieces are usually worked with a

tool that machines Minizinchen type joints, to
improve glue bonding.

To machine the pieces, proceed as follows.

1.
Create the program and run it (all the procedures involved are described in the Users and

operations. If you decide to use the second method (2 ), turn the selector E for each mobile
support involved to the right before starting machining operations. This operation will not
allow the piece to unlock when machining has been completed. If the size of the piece allows
it, pendular machining mode can also be used.
Machining the outside of the arch (step 3)

This step can be carried out in one of 2 ways. The first method (1 ) consists of performing

The correct noise level, measured from the position of the operator, is as follows:
q
80 dB (A), during boring
81 dB (A), during milling
Noise level tests were conducted as described in: EN 31202 - ISO 7960 - prEN 848.
Materials worked: chipboard covered with melamine, thickness 18 mm.
Instruments: phonometer BK 2230
K1= Background noise correction factor lower than 4 dB (A)
K3= Background environment correction factor lower than 4 dB (A)
The noise levels indicated are output levels and do not necessarily represent safe operational
levels. Although there is a relationship between output levels and exposure levels, the output
levels cannot be reliably used to determine whether additional precautions are necessary or not.
The factors determining the noise levels to which the operative personnel is exposed, include the
length of exposure, the characteristics of the work area, as well as other sources of dust and
noise, etc. i.e. the number of machines and processes concurrently operating in the vicinity. In any
case, the information supplied will help the user of the machine to better assess the danger and
the risks involved.

Voltage breaks: duration < 3 ms; period > 1 second
Voltage drops: value < 20% of peak supply voltage; period > 1 second
The system must comply with the following standards: CEI 64-8, IEC 364
The protection of the machine against indirect contact has been designed for type TN power
supply, therefore no differential protection has been provided. In case of connection to different
types of grids (TT, IT), or if required by local laws or standards, differential protection must be
provided based on the characteristics of the plant and taking the following conditions into account:
1.
The measures used to contain electromagnetic interference can produce high dispersion
currents of high frequency on the earthing conductor, therefore use a differential switch which
is not influenced by high frequencies.
2.
Faults to earth on the machine may also occur in direct current (IEC 755).
3.
The differential switch must be of the type highly resistant to pulse type overvoltages resulting
from atmospheric and moving sources (EN 61008-1) and testing with a 8/20 s >1000A (VDE
0432 T2) wave.
It is advisable to use differential switch type SIEMENS 5SZ3466-0KG00 or 5SZ6466-0KG00

following the SIEMENS installation instructions or other available switches possessing the above
characteristics.
For connection voltages up to 400 V, the electrical cabinet has an automatic main trip switch for
short-circuit currents up to 10 KA R.M.S. or 17 KA peak.
For connection voltages greater than 415 V, the cut-out switch is capable of supporting
short-circuit currents up to 4 KA.
If the presumed short-circuit current at the feed points is higher, it must be limited.

During the life cycle of the machine it may become necessary to dismantle it for transfer to another
site. If this is the case, proceed as indicated below.
1.
Turn the machine off and disconnect it from all power sources.
2.
Remove and put away all the tools that are in the machine.
3.
Clean the machine and protect parts that are subject to corrosion using suitable products.
4.
For transport and installation of the machine at the new site, use the methods and procedures
described in this manual.
The machine uses lubricating oil and grease. To neutralize the lubricant fluids which remain
attached to parts of the machine and cannot be re-used, use degradable solvents of an approved
type. For evacuation of recoverable lubricant fluids empty the tanks and deliver the fluids to the
local authority in charge of disposal. Also arrange for suitable disposal of any batteries,
accumulators, buffer batteries from the circuit boards in the machine.
When the machine reaches the end of its technical working life it must be totally decommissioned
so that it can no longer be used for the purposes for which it was designed and built. This
procedure allows for re-use of the parts and raw materials contained in the machine. If any parts
are used again it must be for purposes other than those for which the machine was originally
constructed.
BIESSE declines all liability for damage to persons of things that may derive from any secondary
use of single parts of the machine for functions or assemblies other than those originally
contemplated. BIESSE recognizes no implicit or explicit suitability for specific purposes of any
parts of the machine which are used again after final decommissioning in view of demolition.

BIESSE S.p.a. guarantees that the machine was tested at its own premises and that a positive
result was obtained.
The guarantee shall remain valid for a period of 6 months starting from the date of delivery unless
there is an agreement between BIESSE S.p.a. and the purchaser to define the commissioning of
the machine at the latters premises. When, however, it is agreed between both parties that
commissioning shall be performed at the purchasers premises, the guarantee shall be valid for a
period of 6 months starting from the date of commissioning of the machine at the purchasers
premises and, in any case, for a period of no longer than 9 months following the date of delivery.
Working hours over 48 hrs./week shall result in corresponding reductions in the period of validity of
this guarantee.
BIESSE S.p.a. shall be also considered liable for defects in electric and electronic parts of the
machine. The guarantee shall not cover defects caused by normal wear and consumption of those
parts which, by their very nature, are subject to rapid and continuous consumption e.g. gaskets,
belts, brushes, fuses etc. The guarantee for replaced or repaired components shall expire on the
same as expiry of the guarantee of the machine itself.
Furthermore BIESSE S.p.a. shall not be liable for any lack of conformity of the machine deriving
from a failure to observe regulations indicated in the instructions manuals and in any case due to
inappropriate use or treatment of the machine. The purchaser may thus demand that any parts
found to be faulty be replaced provided that such faults are not attributed to mis-handling and, in
the case of modification, provided that BIESSE S.p.a. has issued prior written consent.
The purchaser shall lose any right to this guarantee if he or she does not provide BIESSE S.p.a.
with a detailed written account of the nature of any defects of conformity found in the machine
within 15 days following discovery of the fact. Moreover, the purchaser shall lose his or her right to
this guarantee if he or she does not allow the vendor to perform all checks required or if, the
vendor having requested the return of a faulty component at its own expense, the purchaser fails
to return the component as soon as possible after such a request.
The technical documents which accompany the machine are prepared with close reference to the
content of the corresponding Directives and current safety regulations. It is therefore of the utmost
importance that the user read completely all volumes of the same in order to obtain from the
machine the best possible performance and to ensure the maximum lifetime to its component
parts.
The configuration of some parts or devices described or illustrated in the documents may differ
from the configuration actually present in the machine in a specific version designed and prepared
for particular requirements or safety standards. In this case, certain descriptions, references or
