Positioning the machine in unsuitable environments that do not meet the established requirements shall
lead the expiry of the warranty for the parts to replace.

If the machine does not work, it must be stored taking all the necessary precautions as established in
this manual. Temperature and humidity rates in the place where the machine will be stored must be
within the limits mentioned in the specific technical data attached to this manual.

2.7.1 Illumination and aeration


The place where the machine is installed must be adequately illuminated for the operations to be
performed; shady areas, disturbing glare and stroboscopic effects must be avoided.

Abide by the current standards on illumination of work environments. Please note that the lack of
adequante lighting could pose risks for the persons exposed.

The machine must run in a properly aerated environment.

2.7.2 Dust removal system


The machine is not supplied with a dust removal system. For proper and safe machine use, the machine
must be connected to a dust removal system that is conformant to the specifications provided in ANNEX
B TECHNICAL DRAWINGS AND GENERAL INFORMATION.

CHAPTER 2 – Safety information

2.7.5 Noise hazards typical of the wood industry


The wood processing industry is traditionally characterized by processes that create high noise exposure
levels, due to a series of concomitant factors, such as the use of tools that have an elevated noise force
concentrated in work environments that are often tight. The work logistics typical of wood-working shops,
where the interchangeability of the tasks and the variable equipment use times are standard working
conditions, do not permit calculating worker exposure to noise in a precise manner.

By way of example, the noise emission values for the machine during a work cycle are provided below:

material: beech elements, rough worked, average thickness 25mm


machining: milling and tenoning
tools: HM hard metal milling cutter, 10mm diameter
HM hard metal milling cutter, 18mm diameter
Milling cutter for tenoning
Rough-milling cutter; 30mm diameter

Measured without the use of a dust removal system.

NOISE EMISSION VALUE


Background noise 68.5 dB(A)
Empty run 74.6 dB(A)
Work run 78.8 dB (A)

During machining, especially when the tool enters the materials, noise peaks up to 109.8 dB (A) were
reached.

The above-mentioned noise values are emission values and not necessarily safe working levels.
While there is a correlation between emission levels and exposure levels, it may not be used reliably to
determine whether or not additional precautions are required.
Factors affecting the actual worker exposure level include:

• Duration of exposure,
• Environment conditions,
• Other noise sources, such as for example the number of machines are other machining work in
the vicinity.

Furthermore, permitted exposure levels may vary from one country to another.

The information provided herein is nevertheless sufficient to allow machine users to better assess risks
and hazards.

2.11 Safety regulations for spindle use and maintenance

Before starting the spindles turning, it is essential to:

• Check that the tools have been fitted only after the spindle seat has been cleaned.
• Check that the tools are clamped tightly.
• Make sure that the number of programmed revolutions is less than the maximum number of
revolutions permitted for the tools fitted on the heads.
• Make sure that the size and weight of the tolls and the number of programmed revolutions is
compatible with the spindle power characteristics.
• Make sure that the direction of rotation is the proper direction of the tools fitted on the heads
during machining.
• If one spindle must turn in the opposite direction with respect to the standard rotation, check that
the safety ring-nut (or other appropriate safety devices) is present and tight.
• If there is an all-around enclosure or cabin, make sure that the doors are closed and that none is
standing inside the enclosure.
• Check the conditions of the tools and make sure that they are not chipped or deformed.
• Make sure that the tools, spacers and tool holding shafts meet the specifications contained in the
machine instructions.

Before bringing the spindle to the programmed revolving speed, start the spindle turning slowly and
check (by listening to the noise) that the tools are balanced and do not vibrate excessively.

Before stopping spindle rotation during machining, make sure that the tool is not in contact with the piece
and/or parts of the template.

2.12 Safety regulations for use and maintenance of mechanical


components

Do not remove the safety guards (panels and gates) except for ordinary and extraordinary maintenance.
Never start-up the machine when the guards are not in place.

Do not touch moving or rotating parts.

Do not carry out maintenance or cleaning while the machine is running.

Do not enable any machine movement if someone is inside the enclosure.

CHAPTER 3 – Machine description and technical data

3.1 Description of machine functioning


The TWIN work center with 6 interpolated axes has a high-stiffness, portal structure, particularly
suitable for the production of elements of chairs, tables, beds, frames, stairs and musical
instruments.

The machine is not designed to be used in line with other machines. The material to be machined
is loaded and unloaded automatically onto the machine work surfaces.

The machine has been designed for machining wooden pieces or similar materials, whose
characteristics are defined in the technical data sheet. The processing occurs at predefined
operator workstations, where the operator can carry out the loading/unloading of the materials.
During the processing, the piece is supported by support devices (i.e. clamps and/or user-built
equipment), placed on the support surface (TABLE). The processing is performed by tools fixed on
a 5-axes machining head. The machine is designed for single-head operation.

The oversized the beams allows for wide sideways movements of the heads (X axis).

The elevated dynamics of the TWIN work station derives from the use of precision reducers with
no backlash and that require no periodic adjustments, as well as from the perfect automatic
lubrication "from the inside out". In addition to traditional programming systems, the DOUBLE JET
work station may be programmed using the exclusive Bacci PITAGORA Software, which best takes
advantage of the elevated machining dynamics, thereby reaching exceptional performance yields.

3.2 Characteristics of machinable materials


Machinable materials are:

• Wood (hardwood, plywood, block board, wood strips, engineered woods, laminar woods,
hollow cored woods).
• Wood derivatives (hardboard, MDF, OSB) or similar materials*.
• Materials defined as plastics or composites, that is polymers (for example, PVC, ABS,
PMMA, Lexan), resins (for example glass fiber reinforced plastics), thermoplastic materials
(meaning materials resulting from treated polymers) and rubber materials.

* similar materials: materials that have machining parameters for milling, boring and cutting that are
comparable to the machining parameters for wood materials (for example: urea resins, PVC, ...)

Machining materials other than those mentioned above is not permitted.

Chap. 3

TWIN – Use and maintenance instruction manual

3.3 Maximum sizes of pieces to be loaded for machining


The maximum sizes of pieces to be loaded for machining must not be greater than those specified
in the table below.

TYPE DESCRIPTION
Minimum length 210 mm
Maximum width 150 mm (200 on request)
Maximum height 60 mm (100 on request)

Data regarding piece machinability must be calculated each time, case by case, taking into
account the maximum movements that may be carried out by the working unit used for machining,
the position of the piece on the work table, the size of the tools and the space taken up by the
other groups present on the working unit.

Before starting machining, always check that the piece is held firmly and blocked properly.

Minimum sizes are easy to define in that the gripping intensity of the vacuum holding system
depends on piece porosity, thickness and size.
Moreover, the minimum gripping intensity is different for each type of tool used.

In any event, the manufacturer PAOLINO BACCI S.r.l. is available for further information.

3.4 Possible machining


The machining that may be carried out by the machine is described and shown below. Some of the

3.7 Description of main units


3.7.1 Machine body (X-axis)

The machine body is made up of a strongly ribbed, stabilized steel structure, of considerable
section, to ensure maximum stiffness and straightness over time, under any load conditions.

On the machine body, the strut sliding guides along the X-axis are mounted [1].

3.7.2 Strut (Z-axis)

The strut (1, Z-axis) is the set of devices that allow the tools to machine the workpiece.
It is made up of a support and movement structure for the revolving, spindle-holder machining
head [2], on which the tools are mounted. The head slides along the vertical direction and rotates
around its A and B axes. Such rotating movements are continuous and interpolated, and are
controlled without any backlashes or periodical calibrations, by two precision gearmotors.

As for the linear axes, the sliding occurs on oversized roller bearings shoes, to ensure absolute
stiffness and reliability.
Chap. 3
- 9/28 -
TWIN – Use and maintenance instruction manual

All movements are controlled by brushless motors (no need for maintenance) and high-precision,
preloaded-balls, recirculation screws that allow travel speed up to 100 m/min.

The lubrication of all screws and shoes is automatic, numerically controlled and monitored by
control sensors during the travel.

As for the rotating axes, the two rotating movements of the head (B and C axes) are continuous
and interpolated, and are controlled without any backlashes or periodical calibrations, by two
precision gearmotors.

3.7.3 Machining heads (B-A axis)

Chap. 3
- 12/28 -
CHAPTER 3 – Machine description and technical data

Whatever the head used, through the “Power Control” function, the NC slows down the speed of
the axes when the absorbed power exceeds 160% of rated power. All the (high-power)
electrospindles are driven by an electronic inverter, with rotating speed from 0 to 24.000 rpm, and
10 Hp power (18.000 rpm for higher power).

It is advisable to equip the machine with the second (optional) inverter, to speed up the passage
from one spindle to the next (from 6-7 sec to 1 sec).

The electrospindles are capable of both left-handed and right-handed rotation. La potenza
massima viene erogata già a 12.000 giri/minuto e viene mantenuta costante fino a 24.000
giri/minuto

Maximum diameter and maximum length of the tool, depending on configuration:

Please refer to the annexed data sheet.

Standard configuration:

• 4 ring nuts for ER32 or ER 40 grippers


• 4 ER32 or ER 40 grippers (2 x φ 20 mm, 1 x φ 16 mm, 1 x φ 10 mm)

3.7.4 BCK : tool holding shaft (OPTIONAL)

The high-rigidity and high-precision BCK shaft with taper shank is fitted onto the spindle without the
use of a clamp.
It is supplied complete with ring nut, counter ring nut and tightening wrench.

3.7.5 Spindle extension with ceramic bearings (OPTIONAL)

For ER 32 or ER 40, it extends the spindle to 170 mm.


Equipped with 2 pairs of angular-contact, ceramic bearings, 12.000 rpm max.
It guarantees the same characteristics as the standard spindle.
It is fixed with 4 screws directly on the original spindle.

3.7.6 Tool changer (OPTIONAL)

Upon request, the work center can be equipped with a numerically controlled tool changer
(additional interpolated axis) without any pneumatic movement, in order to ensure maximum
precision and reliability. The tool-holder movement occurs without any kind of backlash or
interference, thanks to an extremely accurate gearmotor (the same used for the rotating
movements of the machining head).

The maximum diameter of the tools which can be housed in the tool changer is 200 mm.
The tool changer may be equipped, depending on specific request, with “ISO 30” or “HSK63F” tool
fittings.

The tool-holder is provided with dust protection and can be 6 or 16 positions; it is mounted on an
independent structure located aboard the machine.

Chap. 3
- 14/28 -
CHAPTER 3 – Machine description and technical data

3.7.7 “TGV” - Variable Geometry Tables (Y1 and Y2 axes)

The TWIN work center is equipped with two independent work tables [1], that are numerically
controlled and movable along the Y axis (height from the floor for loading/unloading = 1050 mm)
for oversize processing and translation: in this way, the head can operate in conditions of
maximum stiffness and therefore accurately.

The planar support surface of each table is made up by two steel shelves with adjustable center
distance [2].

The shelves are capable of depression and the surface has a grid of 50 x 50 mm.

On both the long sides of the shelf two dovetail millings exist, that allow anchoring of the pneumatic
presser, easily adjustable along the Y-axis, for optimal locking.

2 2

1 1

This solution allows:

• by adjusting the shelves at a distance less than the length of the workpieces, to process the
ends of short elements without having to lift the pieces, to avoid collision.
• by distancing the shelves to the maximum, to let the machining head enter between the
shelves, to machine the internal sides.
• to drill from the bottom up, even at central positions of the piece.
• to machine very long pieces, by placing the shelves parallel to the X-axis.
• to halve the number of counterprofiles.
• to halve the setup time.

The two tables can be synchronized by the numeric control software, for machining very long
pieces. This operating mode is defined as “TANDEM processing”.

Chap. 3
- 15/28 -
TWIN – Use and maintenance instruction manual

3.7.8 Depression table (OPTIONAL)

Made up of aluminum, variable size, 50 mm grid and equipped with lids and threaded holes, it can
be mounted directly on the TGV or its supports, to facilitate locking of flat-base pieces, and for
machining the upper side of the workpiece.

3.7.9 “TGV-TRC” - Rotating Variable Geometry Tables (OPTIONAL)

The patented “TGV” variable geometry tables described above may be mounted on continuously
rotating aluminum boards, around a vertical interpolated axis (additional “A” interpolated axis). The
max center distance of the shelves is 1170 mm and their length is 1130 mm.
Due to the rotation, all the 4 sides of the table may be turned toward the machining head;
therefore, it is not only possible the complete machining of the 5 sides of a workpiece, but also the
positioning of more details on the same counterprofile, hence reducing the setup time.
The rotating table also allows to increase the contouring dimensional capacity up to 1800 mm.

3.7.10 “TGV-CN” - Numerically Controlled Variable Geometry Tables


(OPTIONAL)

In this kind of table, the center distance of the shelves is interpolated and numerically controlled
along the “X” direction. This allows coaxial, mirrored, simultaneous machining, therefore halving
the processing time. The two shelves can be positioned by the numerical controller at a maximum
opening of 1185 mm, and remain fixed during machining.

CHAPTER 3 – Machine description and technical data

3.7.11 Tilting TGV shelves (OPTIONAL)

The tilting TGV shelves may be added to standard TGV tables (without TGV-TRC or TGV-CN),
manually operated by means of a handwheel, equipped with a specific measuring siko, around the
Y-axis (from 0° to +90° or -90°); this allows to:

• Place curved workpieces (concave or convex) without the need for complex piece holders.
• By automatically tilting also the pressers fitted to the tilting shelves, the piece can be locked
perfectly in line, without any need for marking its surfaces.

3.7.12 Headstock/tailstock NC device (OPTIONAL)

In place of one of the tilting TGV shelves, on the machine tables a headstock/tailstock device can
be mounted, with numerically controlled rotation, interpolated with the remaining machine axes.
This device allows any kind of machining on the 4 long sides of the piece.

3.7.16 Numerical control


The numerical control is a characteristic of tooling machines, called “numerical control machines”
or “CN” machines. The machining movement of these machines during tooling is directed by a
computer built into the machine itself that controls movements and functions based on a
specifically defined work (machining) program.

A CN machine simply executes the program that has been set, regardless of what happens around
the machine, and the operator’s task is to prepare the pieces to be machined and intervene if
anything unexpected takes place.

CN machines must always run under the supervision of an operator authorized to use the machine.

Consult the documentation attached to this manual for a description of the numerical control
system installed on the machine.

4.2 Packaging, handling, transport

The following paragraphs provide the main information on the preparation of the machine for transport or
shifting. Certain machine parts are actually disassembled before transport to facilitate handling or to
reduce the maximum dimensions of the machine. Thus the maximum height of the machine is reduced
less than 2.5 m and the machine can be transported in a standard truck or inside a container.

The following paragraphs also include the main information on how to handle the machinery; they make
reference to the procedures to adopt, the means used and safety measures.

4.2.1 General safety recommendations for load handling

Given the specific nature of operations, it is obligatory to employ informed and trained personnel who will
work using hoisting means and will be aware of the operational and safety procedures to follow when
handling loads.

Before starting the transport of the machine and its components, consult the shipment list for information
on sizes.

During the loads hoisting and handling operation it is OBLIGATORY to abide by the following rules:

• IT IS OBLIGATORY that all load hoisting and handling be carried out only by specialized and
authorized personnel.

• IT IS OBLIGATORY to use personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety footwear, work
wear, gloves for protection against crushing, safety helmet and harness for height work.

• IT IS OBLIGATORY that only personnel authorized for load handling work in the work area, in
compliance with common safety regulations that require safety areas around suspended loads,
lift-truck and/or moving overhead traveling cranes.

IT IS FORBIDDEN:

• It is forbidden to allow access to load handling safety areas to unauthorized personnel.


• It is absolutely FORBIDDEN to pass or stand under suspended loads.

Take heed of the following WARNINGS:

• Parts weighing more than 25 kg must not be handled manually. The barycenter for these parts is
shown on the part itself and they are fitted for hoisting by means of appropriate accessories
(harness, ropes, eyebolts, anchor bolts, .....).

• Assess the safest route and trajectory before hoisting a load.

• Use only ropes or chains that allow guiding the load while standing at a safe distance.

• Except for during stop and start, handling must take place without speeding up or slowing down
the load movement and avoiding jolts or impulse-type movements.

Chap. 4
- 6/20 -
CHAPTER 4 – Installation
• Before hoisting the load completely, always check that hoisting is aligned with the barycenter of
the load being hoisted; if necessary, adjust the position of the hoisting equipment or redistribute
the loads.

• During horizontal movements, avoid pitching as much as possible, especially during movement
start-up or stop.

• Changes in direction must take place after a full stop from load standstill.

• As far as possible, the hoisted load must be kept away from obstacles and as closet o the ground
as possible.

• If the case bears the symbols shown below, crossed out, that type of hoisting for the load in
question is expressly prohibited.

• To rest the machine onto the platform of a truck or on the ground temporarily, the resting surface
must first be equipped with wood strips, all of equal height, positioned so as to provide a stable
resting surface and avoid damage to machine parts (where possible, rest the machine on its
side).

• The machine and or the equipment and components must be lowered to the ground slowly and
carefully, to avoid damage.

• Inspect the load hoisting equipment (hooks, harness, chains, eyebolts, anchor bolts) thoroughly
before use.

• If defects are found, replace the accessories with new ones, making sure that the replaced
hoisting equipment is put out of use definitively. Possible defects include:
o Absence or illegibility of labels bearing the load capacity;
o Presence of cuts, holes or rips on synthetic straps;
o Twisted or crushed points on ropes or metal cables;
o Signs of corrosion on metal parts;
o Abrasions and signs of wear due to excess friction on components.

• Cuts are the main cause of breaking of synthetic straps. Cuts are generally produced when the
straps rub against sharp edges on the load being handled.

• To ensure the integrity of straps, and therefore hoisting safety, we suggest inserting a soft
material along the edges of the load where it comes into contact with hoisting straps.

4.2.2 Information regarding shipment and delivery


The machine is shipped in perfect working conditions after having undergone general testing in our plant.

Based on the type and size of the components to be shipped, P. Bacci will use appropriate packing to
ensure the machine does is not damaged during shipment and up to delivery to the customer.

The machine will be shipped directly on the truck platform or inside a container, based on the distance
from the place of delivery, on customer requirements and on how long the machine will remain packed.

If the machine is to remain packed for a long time or if shipping involves crossing the sea, machine parts
subject to oxidizing (screws, chains, etc.) will be covered with a protective rust-proof substance).

Anti-humidity salts are placed inside the electrical boards to absorb possible humidity/condensation. All
precautions are taken when placing these salts to avoid contact with metal parts that may become
corroded. Based on the type of shipment, the inside of the electrical cabinet may also be packed with a
barrier bag to keep out humidity.

For load hoisting and handling, it is OBLIGATORY to always consult the respective specifications
contained in this manual.

Upon delivery of the machine, check that the packaging has not been damaged during shipment and that
the supply is conformant to the contract specifications.

If the machine has been damages, immediately notify the carrier and the Bacci technician.

Either wood or metal blocks may be used to ensure machine stability during shipment. These blocks
must all be removed.

For the entire time that the machine remains idle waiting for start-up, we recommend:

• Protecting the machine with polyethylene sheets or tarps to keep dust from covering the
mechanisms and collision-proof covers to avoid possible damage.

• Never leave the machine outdoors or exposed to inclement weather.

• Always check that storage temperatures are within the maximum and minimum temperature
range specified in the technical data and machine performance data.

All operations must be carried out by qualified personnel authorized by P. BACCI S.r.l.

5.5 Machine stop and re-start


The paragraphs below describe the procedures to be followed to stop the machine and interrupt or cut-
off power supplies.

In fact, there are three different types of machine stops that the user may execute to stop the machine
running.

• The “Emergency” stop is carried out in the event it becomes necessary to immediately block the
machine due to a risk or unforeseen event; the program being run stops immediately and all
movements are slowed down at the maximum deceleration possible. Electric power is cut-off and the
auxiliaries turn off.

• The working "Stop" is used to stop the program being run without fully stopping all machine
functions. This kind of stop is executed by pressing the “STOP” button on the main panel; the
program being run stops immediately and all movements are slowed down at the deceleration set in
the software parameters. Electric power is not cut-off. The auxiliaries remain turned on.

• The “Reset” stop is used to stop a machining cycle and stop the program by pressing the “Reset”
pushbutton on the main panel or the “Reset” key in the lower right hand corner of the monitor. We
recommend executing this stop only during cycle standby moment.

5.6 Working procedures


The sections that follow describe the operator tasks required for correct machine operation.

We recommend the instruction manual be read and fully comprehended before machine use, especially
as regards operating procedures and safety regulations.

5.6.1 Operating modes


The machine may be run in four different modes.

HOLD-TO-RUN movement (portable control)


Machine movements controlled exclusively by skilled and authorized personnel using the portable control
located inside the safety enclosure.

SINGLE-STEP, loading/unloading (processing cycle)


Loading/unloading of the materials, with the operator standing in front of the machine, manually loading
and unloading the piece(s) on/from the support devices located on the table. Once the piece is placed, it
is locked by pressing the pedal button; then the loading operation is confirmed, and the machine brings
the piece in working position (inside the machine, in the machining heads area).

The closing of the clamps during the stage when the operator interacts with the support device, is
performed at reduced pressure. The pressure is then increased, after confirmation of the end of loading,
by pressing the specific button.

At the end of processing, the piece is automatically taken outside the machine and the operator manually
removes it from the support devices; then a new piece is loaded and another processing cycle is started.

TANDEM processing cycle


The processing occurs with the piece supported by both support devices (Y1 and Y2 axes) that move
synchronously. The tandem processing requires a machine setup operation by the maintenance
technician, who removes the central guard located between the two axes Y1 and Y2, and enables the
tandem processing in the software, which allows synchronous advancing of axes Y1 and Y2. At the end
of tandem processing, the maintenance technician must perform the setup for SINGLE-STEP,
loading/unloading processing. To do this, it is mandatory to reassemble the central guard and disable the
tandem processing in the software. The processing cycle occurs in the manner described in the
SINGLE-STEP, loading/unloading (processing cycle).

5.8 Setup of piece support devices and presser clamps

5.8.1 Adjusting the pressers

The presser clamps may be adjusted in two ways:

• In the first case, for example for a 50 mm piece, the clamps may be adjusted so that when they
are closed the minimum space is 45 mm. This prevents the risk of being crushed, as zero stroke
is never reached when there is no piece in the clamps. However, there is a large risk of being
crushed between two pieces, if the machined piece is not removed before another rough piece is
inserted. Moreover, crushing when there is no piece in the machine is against all machine use
logic and is to be considered an extraordinary event.
• In the second case, again using a 50 mm piece as example, the clamps may be adjusted so that
the opening to insert the piece is 55 mm, and the 5 mm of space avoid the risk of inserting fingers.
This method is closer to actual machining requirements but is effective only if the rough pieces
are uniform and if they are positioned with the greatest care possible.

The importance and need to adjust the presses is a well-known fact, it is standard practice in machine
equipping and must be carried out only by the machine maintenance technician.

The risk of being crushed by the pressers is reduced by the measures adopted to attempt to contrast
possible lack of diligence with redundancy:

• Presser adjustment by the maintenance technician during machine equipping.


• The application of two pressure stages during loading/unloading and machining.

NOTE

DANGER!
Safety warning
Danger of the piece or tool parts flying off the machine.
An erroneous piece program or a piece program applied to a piece that is not blocked
properly may cause the tool to break and tool fragments to fly off the machine. Check the
piece program before starting machining.

Once the machine has been equipped, the operator in charge of running the machine must check that
the work cycle is executed as required. Generally, checks carried out in the original conditions are the
best. The only difference with the final cycle is that the operator holds the portable control and reduces
the machining speed using the potentiometer in order to be able to intervene quickly in the event of
programming or equipping errors, etc.

Chap. 5
- 39/48 -
TWIN – Use and maintenance instruction manual

5.8.2 Setup sequence

The setup sequence varies according to the type of workpiece support device mounted on the table. As
the machine may use support equipment made up by the customer, the customer is required to
adequately instruct the personnel responsible for machine operation about the specific workpiece
support devices used for processing.

5.8.3 Checking proper piece blocking

The counter-profiles are not supplied with the machine.


The following example is provided only for information purposes.

NOTE

DANGER!
Safety warning Danger of the piece or tool parts flying off the machine.
Improper or inadequate blocking may cause:
ƒ The piece to fly off
ƒ The tool to break and fly off the machine.
Check that the piece is properly blocked before starting the work cycle.

After having fitted and adjusted the blocking devices, including any counter-profile, check that the piece
has been blocked properly. Check that the piece is blocked in every direction in which machining
pressure may be applied.

5.8.4 Machining check

NOTE

DANGER!
Safety warning
Danger of the piece or tool parts flying off the machine.
An erroneous piece program or a piece program applied to a piece that is not blocked
properly may cause the tool to break and tool fragments to fly off the machine.

5.9 TANDEM processing cycle setup

The processing occurs with the piece supported by both support devices (Y1 and Y2 axes) that move
synchronously.

• The maintenance technician must remove the central guard located between Y1 and Y2 axes,
and enable the tandem processing in the control software, for allowing synchronous
advancement of Y1 and Y2 axis.
• Once the setup procedure is complete, the machine may be started up by following the
instructions described in section “SINGLE STEP loading/unloading (processing cycle)”.

At the end of the TANDEM processing, the maintenance technician must perform the setup for SINGLE-
STEP, loading/unloading processing. To do this, it is mandatory to reassemble the central guard and
disable the tandem processing in the software.

5.10 Programming
The machine is programmed using the PITAGORA software package, which is for programming and to
optimize all Paolino Bacci S.r.l. CNC work centers. Use of this software allows:

• Fast and easy acquisition of CN programs with maximum optimizing in terms of machine yield,
reducing programming time.
• Optimizing of programs generated by normal CAD CAM systems in terms of productivity and best
possible use of machine performance potential.
• Using the technical features of Paolino Bacci S.r.l. work centers, taking advantage of speed,
accelerations and axis power, through the advanced machining path “jerk limitation” and
“smoothing” functions, without compromising machine reliability and long service life.

PITAGORA is a pure and original WINDOWS® software based on OpenGL® graphics and a calculation
motor developed by Paolino Bacci S.r.l.,

The software creates three dimensional, dynamic images for complete collision control and CN programs
which, as they are developed using practical and intelligent tools, may be optimized to obtain maximum
performance in terms of machine yield.

For detailed information regarding the use of the PITAGORA software, please consult the specific
documents provided in ANNEX D OPERATOR INTERFACE SOFTWARE MANUAL.

The following section of the manual illustrates the main features of the PITAGORA software.
