Part Names and Functions

Front


DWX-43W_main_06

Front cover Open the front cover to attach or remove milling workpieces, change tools, or perform cleaning or maintenance. *1
Built-in panel The LED lights on the built-in panel display the status of the machine.
Bottom cover Stores the coolant tank. It also includes an area for storing items such as replacement tools and maintenance parts.
*1 For safety while the machine is operating, the front cover is locked and cannot be opened.

Inside the Front Cover


DWX-43W_main_01

Status light The illumination of flashing of the light indicates the status of the machine.
Garbage receptacle A rough mesh surface catches milling tools, workpieces, large milling waste, and other items in order to prevent them from falling.
Spindle head With the milling bur held by the collet, this rotates and cuts the material as coolant flows.
Rotary axis unit Rotates the workpiece mounting part to which the material to mill is attached, allowing the milling bur to cut the material according to the CAM data sent to the machine.

Spindle head


DWX-43W_main_02

Coolant nozzle The coolant is sprayed from this nozzle. Clean using the included nozzle cleaner.
Collet

This tool is used to secure the milling bur.

It needs to be maintained before the start of operations each day.

This part is attached to the tip of the spindle unit and grips the milling bur or detection pin used in milling and correction. The collet is a part that wears out. To maintain highly accurate milling quality, replace it at the appropriate time.
Dummy pin

This is a milling bur dummy. It is attached to the spindle upon shipment.

A malfunction may occur if the collet does not grasp anything, so have it grasp the dummy pin when it is not grasping a milling bur.

Rotary axis unit


DWX-43W_main_03

Dummy pin stocker

This is a stocker dedicated for the dummy pin. Do not set a milling bur in this stocker.

The dummy pin gripped by the collet is set at the start of milling or correction. Also, do not remove the dummy pin that is returned to this stocker unless there are instructions to do so.

Milling bur sensor Judges whether the amount of extension of the milling bur gripped by the spindle unit is appropriate. To maintain good sensor accuracy, clean this part periodically.
Mounting part This is the part which mounts the workpiece. By installing the included holders, up to six workpieces can be attached.
Stocker This is the part where the milling burs are set.
ATC magazine

Up to six milling burs can be set in this ATC-compliant magazine.

ATC (Auto Tool Changer) is a function for automatically replacing the milling burs to match the milling data.

Transports milling burs and detection pins used in milling to the spindle unit. When milling data is sent from the computer, the spindle unit grips the milling bur in the stocker with the specified number, and milling starts.

Inside the Bottom Cover


DWX-43W_main_04

Coolant tank

This is the tank that holds the coolant. The coolant must be replaced and the filters must be cleaned periodically.

Storage

Milling burs and other items can be stored here. It has two levels. The upper level is exactly large enough to fit the included maintenance kit case.

Side/Rear


DWX-43W_main_08

USB connector Use this connector to connect the USB cable between this machine and the computer.
LAN connector Use this connector to connect the LAN cable between this machine and the computer.
Power switch Turns the machine's power on and off.
Power cord connector Connect the supplied power cord to this connector.
Compressed air intake This is the intake for the compressed air adjusted by the regulator.

Milling Machine Display

Built-in panel

During machine operation, the machine status is indicated by the LED lights on the built-in panel. Operations such as milling pause and resuming, and error correction, can be performed using the operation button () in the center of the built-in panel.


DWX-43W_main_12

[ERROR] Flashes when an error has occurred.
[PAUSE] Illuminates when operation is paused. Flashes when operation is ongoing (from the point when the operation button is pressed during milling to the point when operation is paused).
[POWER] Lights when the power is turned on.
[CANCEL]

Flashes when data is being cancelled and during the initial operations.

Milling data received while this light is flashing will be cancelled.

[Operation Button] Flashes during the initial operations and when mechanisms near the spindle unit are operating. Lights under any other status while the power is on.
During milling Press Pauses or resumes operation. Clears some errors.
Hold Aborts milling or clears some errors.
During standby Press Rotates the rotary axis by 180 degrees.
Hold Clears some errors (when an error has occurred).

Status light

To ensure that operators can determine the status of the machine whether they are right next to it or far away, a status light () is provided inside the machine.


DWX-43W_main_frontcover_11

Blue Lit The machine is in standby. To reduce power consumption, if no operation is performed for 60 seconds while the machine is in standby, the machine will change to the sleep status, and the status lights will turn off.
Flashing The machine is undergoing the initial operation after it turns on. Alternatively, maintenance such as automatic correction and spindle run-in is in progress.
White Lit Milling is being performed or has been paused or the front cover is open.
Yellow Lit An error has occurred during milling, and the machine has been paused. Check the error details shown on VPanel. Press the operation button on the built-in panel to resume milling.
Red

When lit or flashing in red, an error has occurred and milling has been stopped. Milling cannot be resumed.

Lit Press and hold the built-in panel's operation button. Milling will be canceled and the machine will return to the ready status.
Flashing Turn the machine off, and then restart it.
Off The status lights turn off when the machine is in the sleep state or the power is turned off.
