1General Information
These operating instructions describe the functions of the "UT-300" touchscreen control that can be
used for swivel milling machines of types 245 | 100, 245 | 200 and 245 | 300.
Remark:
This manual only describes the functions for the user level of a machine operator. Fur-
ther resp. administrative functions and settings are not included. These are listed in a
separate document for administrators.
2Front Switches and Push Buttons
On the front panel of the UT-300 controller there are various switches and push buttons for the most
important main functions. These are described in the following table:

6Positioning
For safety reasons, the axes are positioned according to the "Hold to Run" principle, which means
that the axes are not positioned simultaneously but one after the other - so that always only one axis
can be in motion.
Posioning sequence
The positioning sequence is the same for all moving axes (see chapter 9 "Positioning Parame-
ters"): The target values are specified via the alphanumeric touchscreen keyboard and then the posi-
tioning enable is triggered via the (Enter) button.
An active enable of the positioning function is indicated by flashing of the front posi-
tioning button (see figure on the left). If the positioning button is pressed, the axis
positions until the defined target value is reached. If the key is released prematurely,
the positioning process is stopped or interrupted.
Actual values / target values
The following applies to all positioning windows: The “Actual”value fields are highlighted in red if
the actual value and target value differ from each other or if the target position (setpoint) has not
been reached. As soon as the position “Set” has been reached and the two values for actual and tar-
get value are identical, the corresponding actual value field is highlighted in green:
Position not reached (red): Position reached (green):
Figure 6: Coloured background of the actual values
Manual mode (step posioning)
The UT-300 control offers the possibility to move each longitudinal and vertical axis in 0.1 mm steps
resp. the angular axis in steps of 0.1° - either in positive or negative direction.
For this purpose, a +and a  symbol appear next to or below the corresponding target value window.
When using this function in the "Speed" menu, the rotary speed of the cutter is increased or de-
creased in 100 rpm steps.
Available actions:
Action
Function
Move the axis position positively by 1/10 → The positioning button flashes
Increase speed by 100 rpm → The change is effective immediately without confirmation
Move the axis position negatively by 1/10 → The positioning button flashes
Decrease peed by 100 rpm → The change is effective immediately without confirmation

7Machine Fences
Different types of fences are used depending on the machine type:
Fence 302 (Machine Type 245/100 and 245/200)
With this type, the total and partial fence must be adjusted manually. For adjustment, two hand
lever screws are loosened, and the fence is adjusted by means of a hand wheel. If the fence has been
positioned at the desired position, the two hand lever screws must be tightened again. The total
fence is equipped with an additional position indicator (see 7.4 below).
Fence 311 (Machine Type 245/100 and 245/200)
With this type, the total fence is automatic, and the partial fence can be adjusted manually. Before
adjusting, both "clamping levers" must be released. Then the total fence can be adjusted automati-
cally resp. the partial fence can be adjusted by means of a handwheel. If the fence has been posi-
tioned at the desired position, the two "clamping levers" must be tightened again.
Fence 320 (Machine Type 245/300)
This fence is completely automated and is controlled by two motors resp. is clamped electro-me-
chanically. For lifting the fence two screws must be loosened manually.
Addional Posion Indicator with Fence 302
The fence type 302 is equipped with an additional position indicator. This makes possible to read the
position values not only at the control, but also directly at the total fence.
7.4.1 Button functions of the additional indicator
•When the key is pressed, the incremental measurement function switches on or off.
With the Auto-ID function, pressing this button accepts the new ID.
•When the key is pressed, the calibration starts and acknowledges an existing fault.
•When the key is pressed, the parameter level is activated.
•In the operating mode "Alphanumeric Display", the previously received setpoints (setpoints 1
and 2) are acknowledged with the respective key, depending on the acknowledgement setting.
7.4.2 Battery Buffering
The battery enables the measurement of de-energized adjustments. Depending on the duration of
the battery operation (also storage) and the frequency of the de-energized adjustments, the battery
life is approx. 5 years. The battery voltage is checked in a time interval of approx. 5 min. If the battery
voltage falls below a certain value, the battery symbol flashes in the display. If the battery voltage
drops further, the symbol appears permanently. The battery should be changed within approx. three
months of the first appearance of the battery symbol. When changing the battery, it is essential to
observe the instructions in the following section.
Status Word:
The status word signals the state of charge of the battery. If the charging voltage is critical, bit 11 is
set; if the battery is empty, bit 7 is also set to signal a fault.
