Safety Precautions1.3
1. Do not operate this machine before the TRAK K Mill Installation, Maintenance,
Service and Parts List Manual, and ProtoTRAK KMX Programming, Operating
& Care Manual have been studied and understood.
2. Do not run this machine without knowing the function of every control key, button,
knob, or handle. Ask your supervisor or a qualified instructor for help when needed.
3. Protect your eyes. Wear approved safety glasses (with side shields) at all times.
4. Don't get caught in moving parts. Before operating this machine remove all jewelry
including watches and rings, neckties, and any loose-fitting clothing.
5. Keep your hair away from moving parts. Wear adequate safety headgear.
6. Protect your feet. Wear safety shoes with oil-resistant, anti-skid soles, and steel toes.
7. Take off gloves before you start the machine. Gloves are easily caught in moving parts.
8. Remove all tools (wrenches, chuck keys, etc.) from the machine before you start.
Loose items can become dangerous flying projectiles.
9. Never operate a milling machine after consuming alcoholic beverages, or taking strong
medication, or while using non-prescription drugs.
10. Protect your hands. Stop the machine spindle and ensure that the CNC control is in
the stop mode:
Before changing tools
Before changing parts
Before you clear away the chips, oil or coolant. Always use a chip scraper or brush
Before you make an adjustment to the part, fixture, coolant nozzle or take
measurements
Before you open safeguards (protective shields, etc.). Never reach for the part,
tool, or fixture around a safeguard.
11. Protect your eyes and the machine as well. Don't use compressed air to remove the
chips or clean the machine.
12. Disconnect power to the machine before you change belts, pulley, and gears.
13. Keep work areas well lighted. Ask for additional light if needed.
14. Do not lean on the machine while it is running.
15. Prevent slippage. Keep the work area dry and clean. Remove the chips, oil, coolant
and obstacles of any kind around the machine.
16. Avoid getting pinched in places where the table, saddle or spindle head create "pinch
points" while in motion.
17. Securely clamp and properly locate the workpiece in the vise, on the table, or in the
fixture. Use stop blocks to prevent objects from flying loose. Use proper holding
clamping attachments and position them clear of the tool path.

Southwestern Industries, Inc.
ProtoTRAKKMX K3 & Retrofit Safety, Installation, Maintenance, Service & Parts List Manual
18. Use correct cutting parameters (speed, feed, depth, and width of cut) in order to
prevent tool breakage.
19. Use proper cutting tools for the job. Pay attention to the rotation of the spindle: Left
hand tool for counterclockwise rotation of spindle, and right hand tool for clockwise
rotation of spindle.
20. After an emergency stop, always turn the FORWARD/REVERSE switch to "Off" (STOP)
before releasing or resetting the E-Stop.
21. Prevent damage to the workpiece or the cutting tool. Never start the machine
(including the rotation of the spindle) if the tool is in contact with the part.
22. Check the direction (+ or -) of movement of the table, saddle, and quill when using
the jog or power feed or ram out.
23. Don't use dull or damaged cutting tools. They break easily and become airborne.
Inspect the sharpness of the edges, and the integrity of cutting tools and their
holders. Use proper length for the tool.
24. Large overhang on cutting tools when not required result in accidents and damaged
parts.
25. Handwheels must have the crank folded inside when using CNC programmed
machining or rapid feeds, power feed or jog.
26. Prevent fires. When machining certain materials (magnesium, etc.) the chips and dust
are highly flammable. Obtain special instruction from you supervisor before machining
these materials. Keep flammable materials and fluids away from the machine and hot,
flying chips.
27. Changing the speed of rotation of the spindle must be done while the rotation is on.
It is recommended to stop and start the spindle at a low rate of speed.
28. Interlocked table guards may be purchased from Southwestern Industries, Inc. if
deemed necessary by the user.

Installer: Use this checklist to assure a complete set-up of the K3 or KMX 2 or 3-axis retrofit or
upgrade.

1.
Shut off power to the machine.

2.
Visually inspect the 220 or 440V wiring going into the electrical panel. Visually verify the
wiring is correct per our wiring diagram. Make sure a strain relief is being used where the
wiring enters the cabinet. Have the customer repair any wiring discrepancies. Measure the
220 volt or 440 volt and 110 volt input power to make sure it is within specification. If not,
notify customer and report on service report.

3.
Clean the machine if needed and remove any remaining grease.

4.
Unlock the table, saddle, and knee gib locks.

5.
Mount the pendant to the pendant arm using (4) M6 socket head cap screws.

6.
Make and check all the proper electrical connections from the pendant to the electric box.
See drawing 29819 at rear of manual.

7.
On retrofits, place the nameplate serial # plate (21934) on the pendant arm. This serial #
plate is the main system # for that machine. Place the serial # plate using 2 drive screws to
the front of the pendant arm near the pivot point of the arm. Use a #36 drill bit for drive
screws. See drawing 29756-1 at the rear of the manual.

8.
On retrofits and TRAK knee mills make sure to plug in the machine ID key on the pendant.



10.
Load software from our website. The pendant may or may not have the latest software
loaded. (Retrofits only.)

11.
Lubricate all the way surfaces and the ball screws.

12.
Jog the table and saddle back and forth until the way surfaces are well lubricated. Oil should
be visible on all the way surfaces.

13.
Check the level of the machine. The machine should be level to within 0.0005" front to back
and 0.0005" side to side. Even though it is the responsibility of the customer, make any
adjustments if necessary.

14.

Lifting and/or Moving the Machine2.8
CAUTION!
The K3 machine weighs approximately 2800 lbs. Proper equipment of sufficient capacity
must be used when lifting and/or moving the machine.
(See Figure 5 to Prepare the Mill before Lifting):
