1. DESCRIPTION
1-1. Description of unit
O The clamp positioner is an optional unit for the EM series turret punch
press and automatically moves and positions the workclamps as
commanded by a program.
O The clamp positioner reduces the setup time required for adjusting or
changing the position of the workclamps when the machine is singly
operated and facilitates the schedule operation of the machine by
computer control when the machine is operated in combination with
the other units of the line.
O The clamp positioner is commanded by “G05 Iα Jβ Kγ;” in the
program, where α specifies the position of workclamp 1, β specifies
the position of workclamp 2, and γ commands workclamps 1 and 2 to
move for setting the worksheet or for avoiding the dead zone.
O The clamp positioner cannot be retrofitted to the machine.

2. CONTROLS
2-1. Control panel

[1] READY light

Comes on to indicate that workclamps 1 and 2 are fixed to the carriage
base (workclamp bar). (The light remains on until the operations a, b
and c described below are undertaken or the machine is powered
down.)
If the light is not turned on, the workclamps do not move even when G05
(workclamp move and position) is commanded.
The light goes out when:
a. The RELEASE button is pressed and illuminated.
b. The AUTO ON/OFF keyswitch is turned from ON to OFF.
c. The machine enters an emergency stop condition.

[2] CLAMP-1 LOCK and CLAMP-2 LOCK lights

Come on to indicate that workclamps 1 and 2 are fixed to the carriage
base (workclamp bar) for movement.
Go out to indicate that workclamps 1 and 2 are completely positioned
and fixed to the carriage (guide plate).

D-3
 [3] CLAMP OT light
Comes on to indicate that either or both of workclamps 1 and 2 have
overtraveled as described below. The machine comes to an
emergency stop.
a. The center distance between workclamps 1 and 2 diminishes to less
than 250 mm {9.843 in.}.
b. Workclamp 1 has operated its outer limit proximity switch.
c. Workclamp 2 has operated its outer limit proximity switch.
When the light has turned on, clear the emergency stop condition as
described in “5-2. Clearing workclamp overtravel”.

[4] AUTO ON/OFF keyswitch

Turned to ON to enable the operation of the clamp positioner. When
the G05 command is read, workclamps 1 and 2 move and position
themselves.
Turned to OFF to disable the operation of the clamp positioner. When
the G05 command is read, an alarm occurs, and its number “3135” is
shown on the LCD screen. (Refer to “5-1. Alarm list”.)

[5] SKIP MODE keyswitch

When the machine is singly operated in the MEMORY mode, turn the
keyswitch to ON so that each time a program containing the G05
command is completed, you can know the “pause judgment” condition
from the SET WARNING light. (Refer to “[7] SET WARNING light” and
“Pause judgment function”.)
Turned to OFF to pause the machine each time the G05 command is
read. (The SET WARNING light does not function.)

[6] RELEASE button (with light)

Pressed and illuminated in the MANUAL mode to release workclamps 1
and 2 from the carriage and carriage base and to move workclamps 1
and 2 by hand.
Pressed again and extinguished to fix workclamps 1 and 2 to the
carriage (guide plate).

D-4
[7] SET WARNING light
When one program is completed, the light flashes to indicate that pause
is being judged only if the following conditions are all met:
a. The program is written for the single operation of the machine in the
MEMORY mode.
b. The SKIP MODE keyswitch is set to ON during the execution of the
program.
c. The workclamp position set by the worksheet set command “G05
I…J…K0;” at the beginning of the program is the same as the
workclamp position at the end of the program. (Workclamps 1 and 2
are not moved in the middle of the program, or they are moved in the
middle of the program but are returned to the original position before
the end of the program.)
If another worksheet is set and the same program is started while the
light is flashing (pause is being judged), the machine does not pause but
continues to punch the worksheet by skipping the “G05 I…J…K0;”
command.
When the light is turned off, the machine pauses each time the G05
command is read after the start of the program, even if the condition c
above is met. (That is, you must press the START button twice for one
program, in order to start the program and to restart the program after
the pause of the machine.)

CAUTION O Fully note that if you press the START

button on the main control panel while the
SET WARNING light is flashing, the
program is immediately executed. (The
machine does not pause for setting the
worksheet.)
O When starting the program, check the SET
WARNING light. When the light is
flashing, set the worksheet before starting
the program.
O For line operation and manipulator
operation (with the LINE ON/OFF
keyswitch set to ON), the machine does
not pause, even when the SET WARNING
light is turned off.

NOTE
O Executing one of the following operations when the SET WARNING light is
flashing turns off the SET WARNING light:
a. Press the BLOCK SKIP button on Panel A shown on the LCD screen.
b. Change the NC mode from MEMORY to MANUAL.
c. Press the START button. (The SET WARNING light remains off while the
program is running, and flashes again when the machine axes are zero-
returned by G50.)
O When the SET WARNING light is turned off (the pause judgment function is
disabled or one of the operations a to c above is executed), punching by
repetition of the same program is judged to be that of the first worksheet, and
the machine pauses each time the G05 command is read.

D-5
PAUSE JUDGMENT FUNCTION
O The worksheet set command “G05 I…J…K0;” is usually placed at the
beginning of a program. When the program is started, the machine
pauses after the positioning of the workclamps by the G05 command.
The machine must be restarted after setting the worksheet.
This means that the START button need be pressed twice for one
program, first to start the program and then to restart the program
after a pause.
O When repeating a program without workclamp position change after
the completion of the current punching, the START button need not
be pressed twice but only once.
The function of judging that there is no workclamp position change is
called the pause judgment function.
O When the program is completed and the pause judgment function is
activated, the SET WARNING light flashes. In this condition,
remove the parts, set the next worksheet, and press the START
button. The machine ignores the “G05 I…J…K0;” command and
continues to punch the next worksheet without pause.

3. OPERATION
3-1. Operating cautions
O Do not change the AUTO ON/OFF keyswitch during the automatic
operation of the machine. If programming requires the keyswitch to
be changed to the other position, be sure to do so before starting the
program.
O The error in positioning the workclamps by the G05 command is a
maximum of 0.05 mm {0.002 in.} per movement.
If the workclamps are repeatedly moved, the error may accumulate to
such an extent as for the workclamps to enter the dead zone. (This
situation has no effect on the punching accuracy of parts.)
After every 50 “actual movements” of the workclamps (when the
command position agrees with the current position, the workclamps
do not move, or there is no actual movement), the workclamp position
is read at the start of the program.

3-2. Adjusting position of workclamps by

hand
If you want to adjust the position of the workclamps during setup as for
test punching, release the workclamps from the carriage and carriage
base, and move them by hand as described below.

1 Press and illuminate the

MANUAL button on the main
control panel.

2 Press and illuminate the

RELEASE button.
The workclamps are released
from the carriage and carriage
base.

3 Move workclamps 1 and 2 by hand.

4 Press again and extinguish the RELEASE button.
The workclamps are fixed to the carriage.

D-8
3-3. Automatic operation
The flow from the start of the automatic operation of the machine to the
positioning of the workclamps by G05 is shown below.

1. Automatic operation started

2. Workclamp position read

3. Workclamps positioned by G05

4. Machine paused

5. Worksheet set

6. Workclamp position checked by G05

7. Origin set by G92

8. Program ended

NOTE
O Reading the workclamp position refers to reading the workclamp position into
the NC unit. This operation (see step 2 in the flowchart above) is performed:
a. Immediately after the power-on of the machine
b. After the manual release of the workclamps
c. After the emergency stop of the machine
d. At the start of the program after the workclamps have been positioned 50
times by the G05 command
O Checking the workclamp position refers to checking the positioned
workclamps for positional deviation.
When the machine is restarted after setting the worksheet during the
execution of the G05 command, the workclamps are automatically checked
for position. (This check is made immediately after positioning the
workclamps during line operation and manipulator operation.)
The workclamps have their position checked only after their position is read
and they are positioned (see steps 3 and 6 in the flowchart above).
O The machine is not paused for setting the worksheet in the following cases:
a. The workclamps do not change in position with the SKIP MODE keyswitch
set to ON. (Refer to “[7] SET WARNING light” in “2-1. Control panel”.)
b. Line operation and manipulator operation

D-9
3-4. Operation when G05 command is read
The movement and positioning of the workclamps are commanded by
“G05 I α J β K γ;” in the program. When this command is read, the
workclamps automatically move to the command position.

WORKSHEET SET COMMAND “G05 I α J β K0 (OR K OMITTED);”

When the worksheet set command is read, the workclamps move only
in the X-axis direction (horizontally) to the command position, and the
machine pauses.
When the machine has paused, press the foot switch to open the
workclamps, and set the worksheet.

DEAD ZONE AVOID COMMAND “G05 I α J β K1 (OR K2);”

When the dead zone avoid command is read, the workclamps are
moved and positioned after fixing the worksheet with the workholders,
depending on whether K1 (G25 type) or K2 (G27 type) is specified, as is
the case with the auto-reposition command G25 or G27.

NOTE
O This series of operations are automatically performed and require no operator
intervention.
O For the methods of programming the workclamp move and position
commands G05 and the description of operations to be performed during the
execution of each command, refer to “4. Programming”.

D-10
4. PROGRAMMING
4-1. Programming cautions
O Be sure to program the G05 command in the specified format.
O Do not place a punching command or worksheet load command
(option) before the worksheet set command “G05…K0;”.
O Usually, the G05 command is used once for setting the worksheet at
the beginning of the program and several times as required for
avoiding the dead zone in the middle of the program.
If the dead zone avoid command is specified several times, the pause
judgment function can be used by specifying the dead zone avoid
command another time at the end of the program to return the
workclamps to the initial position.
If the workclamps are unable to hold the worksheet again after
notching or similar punching at the initial position (or position where
the worksheet set command is specified), do not return the
workclamps to the initial position.

D-11
4-2. Format of G05 command
Specify the clamp positioner command G05 in the following format in
the program.

Basic format

G05 I α J β K γ ;

O I α: Specified position of workclamp 1

(distance from origin on carriage)
O J β: Specified position of workclamp 2
(distance from origin on carriage)
O K γ: Selection of operation during movement of workclamps
K0: Worksheet set command
K1: Dead zone avoid command
(operation similar to that commanded by G25)
K2: Dead zone avoid command
(operation similar to that commanded by G27)

Settable ranges of values

Unit: mm {in.}
Settable range of workclamp 1 100.00 ≤ α ≤ 2150.00 {3.937 ≤ α ≤ 84.646}
Settable range of workclamp 2 350.00 ≤ β ≤ 2400.00 {13.780 ≤ α ≤ 94.488}
Distance between workclamps 1 and 2 β – α ≥ 250.00 {9.843}

NOTE
O If K0 is selected to specify the operation during the movement of the
workclamps, the K data can be omitted. If the value of γ is not entered, it is
regarded as K0.
O The I and J data cannot be omitted. (Otherwise an alarm occurs.) Even if
you want to move either workclamp alone, be sure to enter values at both I
and J.
O Enter the values of α and β as distance from the X-gauge block to the center
of each workclamp when the carriage is positioned at the origin.
O Refer to the scale installed on the carriage.

the G92 command.

D-13
4-4. Dead zone avoid command
“G05…K1 (or K2);”
When the dead zone avoid command is executed, the workholders fix
the worksheet, and workclamps 1 and 2 separately move and position
themselves, as is the case with auto-repositioning. The machine does
not pause.
Use this command to avoid the dead zone when notching the worksheet
at an edge, for instance.

4-5. G05 command during line operation
CAUTION O When the LINE ON/OFF keyswitch is set to
ON, the machine does not pause even if
“G05…K0;” is read. Regardless of
whether the SET WARNING light is
extinguished or flashing, the machine
does not pause but continues to operate
together with other units of the line.
When the K data is K0, specify the G05
command before M33.

The G05 command is effective when the machine is operated together

with the loader/unloader (L/UL unit), the manipulator, or the cycle loader
(ASR).
When the worksheet set command “G05…K0;” is read with the LINE
ON/OFF keyswitch set to ON, the series of steps from positioning the
workclamps to setting the worksheet are automatically performed, and
the machine does not pause.

NOTE
O The dead zone avoid command “G05…K1 (or K2);” can be used in the same
way as when the machine is singly operated.
O Here are described examples in which the worksheet set command
“G05…K0;” is used during line operation.
O For programs for the line operation of the machine together with the optional
units, refer to the programming manuals of the optional units.
