Description

The P1R31FB30 - 002q software can be installed on the Qmove+ J1.P31 - J1.P51 - J1.P71, J1.K31 integrated HMI+PAC or C1-R31-FG30 cabinet PAC plus A1-HMI-QC104 or A1-HMI-QC121 HMI. It is designed to control a bridge saw with 5 axes, for marble and granite. The salient features of the P1R31FB30 - 002 are described below.

Axes
Interplated Axes:

• Axes X, Y, Z for the cartesian motion of a disk or drill mandrel.
• Axis C for the disk rotation.

Other Axes:

• Axis H for the disk tilt.
• Gantry control of Axis Y

All axes are controlled by PID on space (brushless motors with servo drives and brushless motors)

Work Processes

• Flexible work parameters linked to drawings, easy-to-use for marble workshops
• Semiautomatic functions for positioning the axes and for single cuts.
• Multiple cuts for slab cutting, with rotating head (C) for tile cutting.
• Straight, curved and arc profiling with horizontal or vertical disk.
• Step cutting with disk (for hard stone).
• Straight profile finishing, with disk face.
• Shape and circular cutting of tops.
• Work cycles for drain slopes and holes.
• Work cycles for recessing.

Drawing

• User-friendly, simple MiniCAD editor for drawing, an embedded CAD software.
• Optimised DXF file import and integration from PC by the “Profile Importer” conversion software (optional).

Work modes

• Repeat the programmed shape.
• Set the precision of the finishing.
• Modify the speed of disk motion during the work cycle.
• Compensation of the disk thickness and the disk diameter.

Accessory functions, messages and alarms

• Language select, with optional languages in any alphabet (chinese, cyrillic, arabic, etc).
• View the profile and the disk position, during the work cycle.
• View of disk and mandrel speed during operation
• Diagnostics of the inputs and the outputs.
• Backup and restore of the data on non volatile memory (FLASH EPROM).
• Messages for active faults, for easy troubleshooting.
• Help Messages.
• Modem for remote support, updates, file import.

Optional Features (some not documented in this manual)

• Copying by photocell from a cardboard shape or black on a whiteboard.
• DXF file import and integration in Qem MiniCAD
• ISO G code execution, for extra CNC functions (texting, low-relief sculpturing)
• Lathe mandrel speed

Modbus Interface

• The USER serial port can create a MODBUS RTU (RS485) network, for reading the disk rpm and the absorbed current of the disk.

Profiling and finishing

Roughing, finishing and final result

A serie of cuts will produce a rough profile. The cuts are made from the self-learn, minimum quota of the X axis, with the addition of two horizontal sections that are the same length as the disk radius, one before the profile and one after the profile.

Therefore, two situations are possible:

Situation 1:

The width of the profile, plus the disk diameter, is greater than the two self-learn quotas of the X axis. The figure showns that the cut starts at the self-learn minimum, and its end overshoots the self-learn maximum.

Situation 2:

The width of the profile, plus the disk diameter, is less than the two self-learn quotas of the X axis. The figure showns that the cut starts at the self-learn minimum, and its end is extended to until the centre of the disk is on the self-learn maximum.

MAIN MENU > WORK CYCLE > Press

N.B. Optional accessory requiring QEM Isomanager (see specific manual insert link )

The ISO code is processed by performing a tool path created on a CAD/CAM, which creates a list of G code instructions that are then converted into a .hex file by the Qem Isomanager software.

The .hex file is then downloaded onto the controller by Ethernet, Modem or SD card.

If an SD card is used, the .hex file must be renamed with a number from 0 to 999999. (file name: 1.hex, 2.hex…)

The Program State box:

Program uploaded from MMC/SD card: Execution mode ? 1: read from MMC
Controller Power OFF and ON, then zero-set the axes on the piece to the zero-set on the CAD/CAM software.
Select Automatatic mode and start an automatic cycle.
Grey box message: Operation: start job.
Press START
After start, increase the interpolation speed to startup the axis movements.
At the end of the work process, read the message Operation: End of program execution.

The work cycle has the following three steps :

1. Zero-set the axis positions
2. Self-learn the start of cut and end of cut
3. Start the work program
