In this video, we're going to go over how to install your 1100M or MX. Just a
quick note, we're gonna make sure the focus on the 1100M here, but we'll point
out where it differs when you have an MX machine. Remember this video is not a
replacement for reading the operator's manual, so take some time and look
through that before you get started here. Unpacking the crates. Unbox your stand,
then remove the coolant tank's shipping bolts, and slide the tank out. The stand
is attached to the pallet with four seventeen millimeter nuts. Remove the
nuts and discard. Have your assistant help you remove the stand from the
pallet. Lay some protection on the floor and have your assistant help you tip it
on its side. Add anti-seize to the threads of all four machine legs. Take
the M12 studs and secure to each foot assembly. Secure all four legs with the
washers and nuts and make them finger tight. You and your assistant can now
pick up the stand, and place it upright on its feet. Place a level on the machine
stand pad, and roughly level the stand by spinning the bottom section of the feet.
Lifting and Moving the Machine. Unbox the 1100M and remove all the accessories
from the pallet. The majority of owners will lift their machine with an engine
hoist so we will next cover these steps in detail before removing the 1100M off
the pallet.You must install the y-axis motor that is secured onto the pallet.
Cut the straps that secure the y-axis motor to the pallet, then use a three
millimeter hex wrench to remove the y-axis motor cover, and set it aside. Then
remove the four M5 cap head screws, lock washers, and washers from the y-axis
motor mount, and then set all aside. Position the coupling so that it is
centered between the motor shaft and the machine end of the ball screw. Slide the
motor shaft onto the coupler use a four millimeter hex wrench to mount the
y-axis motor onto the y-axis motor mount with the cap head screws. Lock washers
and washers that you just removed make sure that the flux conduit faces the
floor and that the motor mount faces are flush tighten the cap head screws on the
coupling replace the y-axis motor mount cover use
a 17 millimeter wrench to remove the nuts from the four studs that hold the
machine to the pallet if you have a wide pallet Jack that raises a seven and a
half inches you can use an engine hoist to remove the 1100 M off the pallet and
slide the engine hoist under the pallet from the left with the left leg under
the middle and the right leg towards the front of the mill if your pallet jack
doesn't fit then follow the link above to view the alternative procedure follow
the instructions in the lifting bar kit to attach the lifting bar start raising
the mill if it tilts then lower back down on the pallet and readjust the
lifting bar remove the pallet and the pallet jack from underneath the mill
take a few minutes to stone up the pads on the stand and the pads on the
underside of the mill with an assistant move the mill over the stand start
lowering the 1100 M over the pads and align the mounting holes over the holes
on the stand loosely secure the first washer lock washer and socket head cap
screw then shift the mill until is aligned with the other holes lower the
engine hoist secure all four washers lock washers and socket head cap screws
do not over tighten and remove the lifting bar hardware locate the tool
tray and use a four millimeter hex wrench to attach it to the x-axis motor
mount with two m6 flathead screws install the 1100 m x-x axis motor mount
cover slide the x-axis motor cover over the x-axis motor and secure it with the
four provided screws using a four millimeter hex wrench use a three
millimeter hex wrench to attach the drip guard to the front of the machine with
four m5 socket head cap screws installing the machine arm mount the
machine arm to the stand with two m8 socket head cap screws and their
corresponding washers make sure the cable slots are facing the back insert
the monitor post into the square tube arm ensuring that the cable management
holes are facing the cable slots and tighten the two cross bolts with a 16
millimeter box wrench and an adjustable wrench tap the end plug into the two
armed attach the keyboard table to the monitor mount using for m5 socket head
cap screws do not overtighten use a screwdriver to attach the four wire tie
mounts to the monitor post installing the monitor use a Phillips screwdriver
to remove the four screws on the existing monitor mounting plate ensure
the tull arm of the monitor bracket is facing up if not you may need to flip
your monitor mount use the same four screws you just removed to mount the
VESA mount plate to the monitor arm attach the monitor to the VESA mount
plate using four m4 screws connect one of the controller / monitor power cables
to the monitor route the cable down the machine arm through the machine stand
and into the electrical cabinet then connect the power supply to any of the
accessory port outlets place the keyboard mouse jog shuttle and USB hub
onto the keyboard tray installing the path pilot controller attach the path
pilot controller VESA mount plate on the inside wall of the controller cabinet
insert the provided standoffs into the path pilot controller and tighten them
by hand slide the path pilot controller onto the plate standoffs through the key
slots on the rear of the controller connect the extension cable for the jog
shuttle keyboard mouse and VGA cable route these through the front access
hole through the square tube arm and up to the keyboard tray and monitor then
connect the power supply from the path pilot controller to any of the accessory
power outlets on the back of the electrical cabinet connect the ethernet
cable labeled 900 to the port labeled controller communications route the
other end to the path pilot controller secure the loose cables to the machine
arm post with wire ties install the automatic oiler secure the v cable tie
brackets to the stand then attach the oil line to the brackets if you have the
automatic oiler mount it to the stand and attach the oil line connect the
power cable to the accessory power input add oil to the automatic oiler until
it's 80% full and secure the cat powering on the 1100
m and MX and verifying its operation plug in the 1100 m or MX locate the main
disconnect switch and remove the safety tag turn the main disconnect to on path
pilot should turn on automatically follow the on-screen instructions to
choose the correct configuration for your machine once you answer the
configuration questions path pilot will launch rotate the emergency stop button
on the operator box on quarter turn clockwise to release it push the reset
button to enable the machine in the path pilot status tab verify that the machine
okay light comes on you can then click reset on path pilot main screen verify
spindle function you must confirm that the spindle operates correctly to
validate the core installation press page up to jog the z axis in the
positive z direction raising the spindle up from the shipping
block remove the block unless the spindle door lift it up high enough that
it latches securely into place locate the spindle belt on path pilot if
necessary click the spindle range button to match the spindle belts position hold
onto the spindle door and press on its latch then close and latch the spindle
door in the RPM dro field in path pilot type 500 and press ENTER then click

rotating click reverse and the spindle rotates counterclockwise at 500 RPM
click stop and the spindle stops rotating type 1000 and press ENTER then
click forward and then click stop repeat these steps again to go through reverse
and stop at a thousand rpms verify the limit switch function on the status tab
on path pilot identify the lights for the X limit the Y limit and the Z limit
on the machine identify the x y and z limit switches one at a time press the x
y and z limit switch in this status tab of path pilot the corresponding X limit
Y limit and Z limit switch lights come on once done
click on the reset button on the status tab verify access function on the main
tab of path pilot reference the machine by clicking on the ref z ref x + r FY
the machine will now move to the reference position press the left arrow
