Section 2 Notes:

Layout of a CNC-program A CNC-program, also known as part program, consists of a logical sequence of commands, which are executed step-by-step by the control unit after the program has been started. The manufacturers of control units recognize and apply the guidelines as per DIN 66025. Each program is compiled and stored under a program name in the control unit. The name can contain letters as well as numbers. A block starts with a block number followed by the commands. Each command consists of command words, which in turn consist of an address letter (A-Z) and an associated numerical value (both upper or lower case characters are permissible). Program layout: Departure information Block Nr..

Technological data

The block number is a program-technical assignment, which is not evaluated by the control unit as a command. It is usually programmed to go up in steps of 10 and serves the user only for a better oversight. It has no effect on the program execution. The geometrical data include all instructions that clearly define mathematically the motion of the tool or the axes. The technological data are used for instance to activate the required tool and to pre-select the necessary cutting parameters feed rate and spindle speed. Miscellaneous functions can control for example such things as direction of rotation and auxiliary appliances. Programming example: …. N80 T1; Roughing tool N90 M6 N100 G54 F0.2 S180 M4 N110 G00 X20 Y0 Z2 D1 N120 …. In order to improve the oversight within a program, comments can be optionally added at the end of a block. These must be preceded by a semicolon; Any characters that follow thereafter will not be taken account of by the control unit.

Section 3

Programming of the technology data Before every technological working step in a CNC-Program the respective tool must be selected by means of the addresses “T” and “D”.

Notes:

The address “T” is followed by the name of the tool, which may be stated either with numbers or letters (here only the variant using numbers will be dealt with). All applicable tool data (e.g. tool type, length, radius, etc.) are activated in the program with the address “D”. Here a complete set of data “D“ is referred to as “Cutting edge”. Several cutting edge numbers (D1 … D9) may be generated for each tool. Programming example:

Explanation:

N10 T17 ; Drill

Block 10, call-up of tool 17, Commentary to the tool Tool change, The cutting edge D... must be activated in the block with the first axis movement.

N20 M6 N30 … D1

After the call-up of the tool, follows the selection of the optimum cutting values with the addresses “F” and “S”. The feed rate vf with the address “F” can be entered either as feed per min (in mm/min) or as feed per revolution (in mm/rev). The Cutting speed vc with the address “S” can be entered either as spindle speed in revolutions per minute (rev/min) or direct as cutting speed in meters per minute (m/min). Default status of the machines when they are powered up are as follows:  Milling machines with feed rate “F” in mm/min

Code G94

 Turning machines with feed per revolution “F” in mm/rev

Code G95

Selection of cutting speed:  Constant cutting speed “S” in m/min (Relative to workpiece Ø)

Code G96

 Deactivate constant cutting speed “S” spindle speed in rev/min (default)

Code G97

Programming example 1: N10 T20 ; Endmill N20 M6 N30 G94 F200 S1000 M3 D1 N40 ….

Explanation:

vf = 200 mm/min, n = 1000 min-1

Section 4 Notes:

Switching commands There are different commands to control the direction of rotation of the work spindle. Additional auxiliary functions can for example control cooling circuits, clamping devices, auxiliary functions and running of the program. But the presence of these additional functions depends entirely on the technology and the machine design. The following list should be only considered as an example of commands: Instruction

Meaning

M00 M03 M04 M05 M06 M08 M09 M30

Programmed Halt Work spindle ON, clockwise Work spindle ON, anti-clockwise Work spindle Halt (however, the program continues) Tool change Coolant ON Coolant OFF End of program; jump back to the start of the program

Programming example: N10 T1; Face mill N20 M6 N30 G94 G97 F600 S2500 D1 N40 M3 M8 ….. N90 M30

Explanation: Tool change vf = 600 mm/min, n = 2500 min-1 Spindle ON clockwise, coolant ON End of program

Section 5

Programmable presettings When starting a part program the basic settings as defined by the manufacturer will be activated. These depend on the individual machine specification and apply thereafter for the whole of the program run (modal) unless they are changed by the operator in the program.

Notes:

This section describes just a few of the possible selections for turning- and milling machines that deserve highlighting. Note: Codes that have already been dealt with are no longer included

Continuous path behaviour: Exact stop

Code G09 block-by-block

Code G60 * modal

In order to reach the final position precisely the path velocity is reduced at the end of the block towards zero. This is useful, for instance, to obtain relatively sharp edges when machining around contour corners. However, it must be borne in mind that, if there are too many positioning sequences, it will result in increased machining time and cannot be neglected.

Continuous control operation

Code G64

In this case the tool moves as much as possible with constant velocity without deceleration at the end of a block. Hence the machining time is less than under the continuous path status “Exact stop“. The corners of contours are machined without any relief and therefore the corners are not so sharply defined. With this function the control works with a speed control taking into account several blocks ahead (Look Ahead). The even speed in this instance results in better cutting conditions and also a better surface quality. The following image compares the frequent braking and accelerating sequences between the individual blocks in case of G60 and the constant speed in case of G64. Feed rate

Section 5 Notes:

Programmable presettings The continuous path behaviour “Exact stop“ with the Codes G09 or G60 respectively does not entirely ensure dimension-wise as to how precisely a corner point between two positioning blocks is attained. If an exact stop has been activated in a program, the codes described below can be used to specify a very precise braking behaviour at the end of blocks. By this it is possible to determine as to how precisely the programmed corner point will be attained. Change-over when the positioning window “fine” is reached Code G601 The tool motion changes to the next block when the tool has reached the fine positioning window. Sharp contour corners result at the programmed destination points. Change-over when the positioning window “coarse” is reached Code G602 This code can be used to obtain a defined rounding of the programmed contour corners. The block change-over occurs already at the coarse positioning window. Block change-over

A dimensional definition of the positioning windows “coarse” and “fine” is preset by means of machine datum. Please find out the values preset on your machine by the machine manufacturer from his operation manual if you are going to use the described codes.

828D/840Dsl SINUMERIK Operate

Section 5

Programmable presettings There is yet another means of influencing the continuous path behaviour by changing over to the next positioning block depending on the programmed path velocity of the tool. Change-over when the setpoint position is reached:

Notes:

Code G603

The block change-over is initiated as soon as the control has calculated the setpoint speed for all axes to be equal to zero. Since the physical tool position lags behind the calculated value by a certain amount, the effect in this case is that the axis changes direction before the end of the interpolation is reached. The greater the feed rate, the greater is also the lag of the tool behind the evaluated value and therefore the rounding radius. This permits the contour corners to be formed in dependence on the path velocity.

Destination point of the programmed path (Interpolation ends) Actual tool path with smaller feed rates

Workpiece

Actual tool path with greater feed rates

Hint: The rounding radius depends on the programmed path velocity as swell as the drive dynamics of the machine. The codes G601, G602 and G603 are modal. They only have an effect in conjunction with active exact stop with G09 or G60.

Section 2

Right hand rule

Notes: Explanation: According to DIN standard the various axes of motion within work space of CNC machines are addressed by alphabets. The rules for the assignment of the axes are determined in this DIN-standard. The machine coordinate system that is derived from the DIN-standard is the base for the geometrical description of work pieces which allows us to clearly determine the points in a plane or in space. The cartesian (rectangular) spatial coordinate system can be best described with the “Right hand rule”. Here the fingers of the right hand represent the axes: “X” (thumb), “Y” (first finger) and “Z” (middle finger). The finger tips point in the positive direction.

Vertical turning machine

Horizontal milling machine

The position of the machine coordinate system is specified by the machine manufacturer keeping the following in mind:

Definition of axis according to DIN-standard:  Z-Axis: Is aligned parallel to the working spindle or coincides with it. The positive direction points away from the work piece. In case of more than one spindle, one of them will be declared as the main spindle.  X-Axis: Is aligned parallel to the set-up plane or coincides with it. If the Z-axis is vertical, the positive X-axis is directed towards the right. If the Z-axis is horizontal, the positive X-axis is directed towards the left.  Y-Axis: Is perpendicular to the X- and Z-axis, in such a way that a spatial cartesian coordinate system results. The direction “FROM” the work piece “TO” the tool is “PLUS” The tool movement is “ALWAYS” to be programmed!

Section 3

Defining of axis within a workspace

Notes:

Explanation as per DIN 66217 or ISO 841: However defining only three axes is not enough on modern machine tools. For instance if the milling head of a milling machine is to be swivelled by a certain angle or the quill of a tailstock is to be moved, a further definition of these axes is required. The DIN standard provides the following variants for such cases.

Here the rotational axes A/B/C are associated with the X/Y/Z axes. Looking in the positive direction of the linear axis, a clockwise rotation equals a positive rotation of the associated rotary axis.

The axes U/V/W are parallel to the axes X/Y/Z. V

The positive direction is that of the associated main axis.

Section 4 Notes:

Points and distances within the work space Explanation: For the determination of all points within the work space, the control unit requires a zero point of the coordinate system. This has been determined by the machine manufacturer. All other points have either fixed distances from the machine zero point or else the distance must be defined. The machine zero point (M) is determined by the machine manufacturer and cannot be altered. On milling machines point is usually set on the work table, and on turning machines on the spindle flange. The work piece zero point (W) is the origin of the work piece coordinate system. This can be specified by the programmer and should always be chosen in a way that the least calculation work is required to determine points on the contour given the dimensioning of the drawing. For turning work it lies mostly on the turning axis and the right hand planar face. The reference point (R) is approached for initializing the path measuring system, which means that at this point all axes are set to zero. This is necessary since generally speaking the machine zero point cannot be approached. The tool carrier reference point (F) is of prime importance for the adjustment of preset tools. The lengths “L” (XPF) and offset “O” (ZPF) shown in the image below are used as tool calculation values for instance for the tool radius correction and must be entered into the tool memory of the control unit.

Section 5 Notes:

Programming planes Continuous path control units can control slides and tool carriers simultaneously along 2 or more axes at a programmed feed rate. For this the speed of the individual drives must be matched to one another. This job is taken over by the interpolator of the CNC-control unit. This is a software program for the evaluation of intermediate positions and speed conditions of the individual axes such that the slides can follow the programmed path. Starting with a 2 ½-D Continuous path control unit the interpolation can be switched between the three different planes.

A selection of the plane is made with the associated programming instruction:  XY-Plane - programming command G17  XZ-Plane - programming command G18  YZ-Plane - programming command G19 Note: The standard plane being used for working with CNC-Turning machines is G18. With CNC-Milling machines the programming plane G17 is being used. The working plane should either be programmed at the beginning of the NC-program, or before programming an operation in the relevant working plane. The active programming plane is modal and remains active until changed by another programming instruction.

Absolute and incremental dimensioning, mixed programming 2. 1 Absolute dimensioning When writing CNC-programs a fundamental differentiation must be made between absolute and incremental coordinates. Which of the two options the programmer chooses depends on the usage of the program and the dimensioning on the drawing. Absolute dimensioning, Code G90 All dimensions always refer to the active work piece zero point. About workpiece zero point refer to Module B555 - “reference point, workpiece offset”, Section 3. The absolute coordinates in a departure command describe the position, to which the tool is to traverse. Example: Coordinates for milling:

Section 2 Notes:

Absolute and incremental dimensioning, mixed programming 2.3 Mixed Programming As already mentioned, the destination point coordinates can be stated in the program for all types of interpolation as absolute or incremental values respectively. Depending on the presently activated status (G90 or G91), all further coordinate values will refer then also this type of dimensioning. In practice, however, it is often sensible to mix the two possibilities within a program block. The control unit provides a comfortable means of instruction to utilize this additional possibility.

Mixed programming:

Codes AC(…) and IC(…)

A dimension value will also be taken as an absolute dimension under G91 if the following syntax is used: AC(numerical value) If a dimension value is to be taken to be an incremental value under G90, it must be written as follows: IC(numerical value) Clarification of mixed programming with an example for milling: G90

Section 3

Rapid traverse motion

Notes:

Code G00 Rapid traverse is used for the quickest possible repositioning of the tool to the contour element or, for instance, for moving the tool to the tool changing position. The highest possible speed along a straight line that the machine is capable of attaining is used, however, no machining is possible here. Hence the control unit does not require a value input under the address “F”. Repositioning with rapid traverse can be programmed to take place in several axes simultaneously.

Programming example: N10 T1 ; End mill N20 M6 N30 G00 X200 Y80 Z2 D1

N90 M30

Explanation:

Section 4 Notes:

Straight line interpolation 4.1 Straight line interpolation Code G01 The straight line interpolation is used to move the tool with an exactly defined speed along a straight line from the current position to the programmed destination point. All axes can be traversed simultaneously, in which case the resulting line of motion can lie anywhere at an angle within the working space. For this the control unit requires a specified feed rate which at the latest must be defined under the address “F” in the block containing the Code G1. The following example describes the milling of a slot with absolute dimensioning as per the drawing shown below. Note: The setup feed rate G94 defines the feed rate in millimetre per minute (mm/min), in comparison to setup feed rate G95 that defines the feed rate in millimetre per revolution (mm/rev). Programming example:

Circular interpolation 5.1 Circular interpolation Code Code

G02 (clockwise) G03 (anti-clockwise)

A circular interpolation permits the traversing of the tool with a defined speed along a circular path from the present start point to the programmed destination point. Apart from the destination point coordinates, the control unit also needs statements about the sense of rotation and the centre of the circle. The centre is entered with “I”, “J” and “K” with incremental dimensions with the centre point as origin. The following assignment applies:  I for the X-axis  J for the Y-axis  K for the Z-axis Programming example with G02: Explanation: …..

Circular interpolation 5.2 Circular interpolation with mixed programming

Notes:

Particularly the incremental statement of the centre of the circle usually represents some difficulties to the operator in practice, since it must often be evaluated using triangle calculations. This is a prime example of where the mixed coordinate programming of the circle centre point in absolute dimensions comes in useful. Programming example: …..

Section 2 Notes:

Types of angles 2.1 Basic principles of coordinate evaluation Almost all of the contours encountered during machining can be traced back to a interface of straight lines and circular arcs. For part programming the respective endpoint of the contour element must be known. In most cases these contour points can be taken directly from the drawing provided dimensioning is NC-suitable. In some cases, however, the an evaluation of coordinates may be necessary. For these calculations a basic knowledge of the types of angles, trigonometrical functions and the Pythagorean theorem is required. 2.2 Types of angles In the case of oblique work piece contours angles with a definite relationship to one another result between the contour sections. Depending on their relative position a differentiation is made between complementary angles, step angles and side angles.

Complementary angles add up to 180°



Step angles have always the same value



If a transition is at right angles to the radius centre point it is always a tangential transition, and there is no corner shown on the technical drawing. If a corner line is shown, it is not a tangential transition.

Section 3

The Pythagorean theorem The right angled triangle has a special meaning in geometry, since the sides of such a triangle exhibit a definite relationship to one another.

Notes:

The various sides of the right angled triangle are named specifically:  The longest line opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.  The two other lines, which form the right angle, are called cathetus.  The side opposite an angle is called the opposite side.  The bounding side of the angle is called the adjacent side.

In case of a right angled triangle the missing length of a side can be calculated if the length of the other two sides is known. For this the Pythagorean theorem is used.

Pythagorean theorem: In a right-angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle), c, is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, b and a - that is: a² + b² = c².

c²= a² + b²

5x5=25 c 16+9=25

a 3x3=9

b

4x4=16

By suitable rearrangement of the equations the respective sides can be calculated.

b =

a =

Section 4 Notes:

Trigonometrical functions The trigonometrical ratios describe the relationships between the angles and the sides in a right angled triangle. With the aid of these trigonometrical functions it is possible to calculate both angles and sides in a right angled triangle. For this one side and an angle or two sides must be known. The selection of the suitable trigonometrical function, i. e. the sine, cosine or tangent, depends on which sides and angles are known and which side or angle is to be found.

Position of the machine zero point All axis motions on a CNC-machine tool refer to the right-hand Cartesian coordinate system. Note: See also Module B552 - “Geometry basics”. The entire path measuring system is initialized by approaching the reference point with all axes. At the same time the control unit activates the coordinate system at the machine zero point.

M Machine zero point

This fixed coordinate point (origin) is determined by the manufacturer and cannot be altered by the operator. It serves as a reference point for the machine coordinate system (MCS) of the machine tool.

Section 3

Zero point offset G54 For machining the workpiece the workpiece coordinate system (WCS) is available on the machine.

Notes:

This can be freely chosen by the operator depending on the manufacturing conditions or according to the usual workshop practice. By this you define a zero point on the workpiece which is offset from the machine zero point by a defined distance, obtaining a work piece zero point that is directly referred to the workpiece to be machined. W Workpiece zero point

Zero point offset:

Code G54 (modally operative)

With this command the workpiece zero point can be defined on the machine. The following image shows how the position of the workpiece zero has been shifted with G54 by the operator to the marked corner point, alternatively any other corner can be defined as workpiece zero

The determined zero point on the machine can be set in JOG mode and can be activated in the program with the same comand (G54). By this the coordinate origin for the program and the machine zero point coordinate are now identical. Programming example:

Explanation:

N10 G17 G54 ...

Plane selection, call-up of the zero point offset G54 Approach tool changing point Call-up tool T1

N20 G00 X200 Z300 N30 T1; Surface cutter ...

828D/840Dsl SINUMERIK Operate

Page 5

B555

Section 4 Notes:

Further zero point offsets Nevertheless, for the efficient production of parts the availability of several workpiece zero points often makes sense. The control unit manufacturer provides for up to 99 selectable zero point offsets. Note: Depending on the machine parameters this number can be set differently. Please refer to the machine manual regarding the exact number of available zero points.

Further zero point offsets: Codes G55, G56 and G57 Codes G505 to G599 (all stated codes are modally operative)

The application example shows a requirement for a second workpiece zero offset. In the picture below the work piece zero point has been transferred with G55 exactly to the setting plane of the chuck jaws. In the program this must be activated by means of the code G55. G55 G54

The use of several zero point offsets can substantially reduce the setup times particularly in cases of one-off or small series machining. For example: You could define just once a specific setting point for each one of your clamping fixtures or else a specific work piece zero point for various work pieces. In the program the respective zero point offset depending on the clamping fixture or the work piece can then be selected. If an identical work piece is to be machined at a later time, the respective zero point is immediately available under the same code.

Important: Zero point offset instructions or commands are MODAL COMMANDS .i.e. once executed they remain active until they are newly defined with the same command or a different set of commands is activated.

Section 5

Tool changing point Milling machines usually have a fixed tool change position (TCP). This point is typically chosen in a way, that tools can be changed in a collision-proof area in the work space of the machine.

Notes:

For this the tool carrier is generally retracted well back into the positive range of the work space. Note: Take into account the real traverse ranges of your machine; the values used in the example are only exemplary!

Programming example 1:

Explanation:

N10 G17 G54 ... N20 G00 X300 Z150 N30 T1; Milling cutter ...

Approach of the tool changing point Indexing the turret to position T1

On this basis the tool carrier will traverse to various positions depending on the active tool length (Z) and the position of the work piece zero point. Note: It is always the tool tip that is being positioned.

Section 5 Notes:

Tool changing point In order to approach a tool changing point that is independent of the length of the tool and the presently active zero point offset, the following conditions must be programmed: Switching OFF of all the active offsets or manipulations of the coordinate system

Code SUPA (operative block-byblock)

Deactivation of the tool lengths in X and Z

Code D0 (modally operative)

Programming example 2:

Pos. X Pos. Z

Pos. Y Since with the use of the SUPA command any manipulations of the coordinate system have been deactivated for the programmed block only, they do not need to be reactivated. Keep in mind, to call up the required cutting edge again, after each tool change. Note: The extent of programming for the approach of the tool changing point can be reduced if for this purpose a subprogram is written (see page 8 in this module).

Basic principles of programming

Notes: Certain principles should be followed during the creation of part programs:  The program must ensure that an unlimited number of work pieces can be produced with the quality (tolerances, surface quality, form and position deviation, etc.) required on the drawing with a minimum of production time and the least possible material wastage.  It is always the motion of the tool along the drawn ideal contour of the work piece.  If tolerances are shown, the programming is always referred to the middle of the tolerance. Example:  20 + 0,1 - programmed value = 20,05. Precise dimension corrections can be carried out on the machine by means of the wear correction feature for the tool.  The program should exhibit a clear and concise structure and should contain comments wherever possible to ensure that other users can understand the layout easily at later stages.

Program structure of a part program The programming of the machining sequence can be achieved by means of description of the individual steps using departure commands (e.g. G00, G01, G02, etc.) or by means of machining cycles. The following representation refers to the flow chart in section 2 of this manual and describes a possible machining sequence. Programming with G-Codes

Activation of radius correction

Programming using cycles

Input of the individual parameters using the input mask and graphical support

Interpolation to the first destination point

Interpolation to the next destination point

Interpolation to the last destination point

Deactivation of the radius correction

The following criteria should be kept in mind when selecting between the two described possibilities:  Availability of the cycles on the respective machine.  Machining time required with cycles or with G-codes.  The relation of the number of work pieces to the required programming extent.

Settings at the start of a program For the user it may be advantageous to switch on certain settings, that are to be activated in the part program, already in the program heading.

Notes:

If necessary, these modally operative commands can always be reset by other commands at any stage during the program. Suggestion of a program heading for a “milling” application: Programming example:

Explanation:

N10 G17 G54 G64 G71 G90 G94

X/Y-plane, 1st ZP-offset, continuous control, metrical system, absolute dimensions, linear feed rate F in mm/min,

N20 DIAMON LIMS=3000

Diameter input*, speed limitation nmax= 3000 min-1

N30…. ….

Note: As the tool progresses towards the centre during facing, the spindle speed evaluated internally in the control unit increases steadily until eventually the maximum possible spindle speed would be attained. Depending on the clamping conditions and the size of the work piece a speed limitation should always be selected for reasons of safety.

Section 2

Cutter radius compensation The instructions G41 or G42 are necessary for the programming of contours. With this the contour shown on the drawing can be described directly. The radius value for the milling cutter entered in the tool management is taken into account. The equidistant path for the cutter centre evaluated by the control unit is such that the required contour results on the cutter circumference.

Notes:

To enable the control unit to evaluate the correct equidistant path it must know whether the milling cutter is on the right or the left of the contour. This is determined by relative to the machining direction. Dimensional deviations can then be compensated for by changing the cutter radius.

Before activating the radius compensation a starting point should be chosen that is sufficiently far from the contour. If possible this distance should be greater than the cutter radius. The starting and end point must be chosen such that no damage to the contour occurs.

S=starting point E=end point Px=programmed contour points Equidistant path with feed direction

Solution 1: Approach and exit of the contour

Section 2

Cutter radius compensation The activation of the cutting edge radius correction can be supported by means of the commands G247/G248 and G347/G348. By their use the contour can be approached along a circular arc. This is called a “soft approach” that prevents any contour damage at the point of contact.

Notes:

The function “soft approach and exit” is a tangential approach at the point of contact independently of the starting point. The function is used predominantly in conjunction with the tool radius correction, however, this is not compulsory. G247/G248 (Tangential approach/departure move with a quarter circle)

Rounding and chamfering of edges For the machining of the finished contour the instructions RND, CHR, CHF are to be used for the radii and the chamfers.

Notes:

RND: At the programmed intersection between two straights a radius is added. The size of this is defined by RND=7.

CHF: At the programmed intersection between two straights a chamfer is added. The length of the chamfer is defined by CHF=9.

CHR: At the programmed intersection between two straights a chamfer is added. CHR=5 defines the length of the legs of this chamfer.

All not dimensioned radii and chamfers are 2 mm.

Mixed incremental and absolute programming

Notes:

Angle ANG= If for a straight only one end point coordinate of the plane is known, or in the case of contours the final end point via several blocks, an angular statement can be used to completely define the straight path section. The angle is always referred to the abscissa of the current plane G17 to G19; e.g.: in case of G17 to the X-axis. Positive angles are taken to be anticlockwise.

Abscissa

Mixed programming: Absolute and incremental dimensions (G90/G91) you know already for the programming of contours. These two types can be programmed together in one block. For this the instructions “IC” (incremental) and “AC” (absolute) can be used. In this way “IC” can be used to program incremental dimensions within G90. The instruction G90 is modal. X=IC(10)

The cutter moves along the X-axis incrementally by 10 mm in the positive direction. Y=AC(12) The cutter will be positioned absolute along the Y-axis to the Coordinate of Y12 .

Section 2 Notes:

The use and necessity of subroutines If contours are programmed that are used repeatedly, it is possible to do this using subroutines. There is a differentiation between local subroutines, which belong to a work piece and global sub-routines, which are generally usable. Subroutines have the file extension *.SPF (Subprogram File).

2.1 Global subroutines These subroutines can be used for all kinds of workpiece programs; they must be written keeping in mind the danger of possible collisions. Both programs using incremental or absolute dimensions can be used. Example: The machine table is to be positioned at a certain location for tool changing after the machining has been completed. The coordinates can therefore be stated with absolute values. In order to avoid collisions, Z must be positioned first followed by X/Y.

2.2 Local subroutines Local subroutines are often used where contours are repeated on the same work piece. If, for instance, a pocket is to be milled several times on one workpiece, it can be programmed just once and then repeated several times. Since the absolute dimension vary, the pocket must be programmed from a defined starting point, which is then approached in the main program. From there the pocket is then described with incremental dimensions. Example: The contour of a pocket must be milled at 2 different locations. Fill in the following program header into the editor. Explain the sentences in the table. By the way make yourself familiar with the editor. Mark the zero point in the drawing.

B558

828D/840Dsl SINUMERIK Operate

Section 3

Call-up of subroutines The choice of the type of dimensions depends largely on the usage of the subroutine. When programming the following principle must be kept in mind: When exit the subroutine, the status that existed before the call-up must be re-established.

Notes:

The subroutine is called up by its name and the number of times it is to be used. The number of repeats is programmed with the address “P”. At the end there must follow the instruction “M17” (end of subroutine). After this the control jumps back to the calling-up place in the main program and continues with the next block. Main program

Section 4 Notes:

Programming of subroutines Below, you are asked to program the pocket as a subroutine (Name:UP_MODUL31). The subroutine is to be called up from the main program (Name: MODUL31).

Task 1: The workpiece has already been programmed in the program “MODUL30.MPF”. This is now to be copied, renamed in “MODUL31.MPF” and then modified. Change to the “Program Manager”. Open the program directory and select the program MODUL30.MPF. By pressing the “PROGRAM MANAGER” button on the keyboard change to the “Program Manager” screen.

In the workpiece directory select the program MODUL30.MPF with the blue cursor keys.

Copy the file by pressing the VSK 5 “COPY”.

The program acknowledges the selection and copying in the status line.

With the now active VSK 6 “PASTE” insert the file into the directory-tree.

The “Paste” window opens. Rename the file in MODUL31.MPF and accept with the VSK 8 “OK”.

Section 2 Notes:

Label name, Parameter usage 2.1 Label name In order to repeat certain sections of a program or the jump to a certain section of the program, we make use of “LABELS” to mark the beginning/ end of certain sections of the program. In most cases a “LABEL” is used to mark the beginning, but when you want to perform repetions of sections of a program, then you require both beginning and end “LABELS” (refer to section 3.2 in this module). The “LABEL” must consist of at least two or a maximum of 8 characters. The first two characters must always be letters or underlines. The “LABEL” must always be followed by a colon. Assigning the name BL123 to a label

N100... N110 BL123: N120 G00 X10..

2.2 Parameter usage In some cases the use of parameters is highly advisable. For instance, the cutting values for the tools to be used can be assigned to parameters in the program header, which can then be used for programming instead of the cutting values themselves. The parameters are programmed with the address letter “R” and a number “R1”. Values can be assigned to these in the section “Parameter” or also in the program itself. ;T1-WSF Dr60 R1=200 ; n for WSF Dr60 Program header R2=30 ; vf for WSF Dr60 ...

R1 and R2 Parameters can be used within the program for calculation of individual values or for themselves. For reason of the advance calculation by the control unit it is possible that undesirable effects on the active parameters might occur. This can be prevented by using the instruction STOPRE. The next block will only be executed after the previous block has been finished. For this “STOPRE” must be written in a block by itself. N10 R1=0 ...

Jump instructions, Program section repetitions

Section 3 Notes:

3.1 Jump instructions Jump instructions can also be used within a program. They permit the omission of certain sections of the program or to jump back for repetitions. The instruction GOTOF is used to jump forward, while the GOTOB is used to jump backward. For this a search is carried out for the included label name or the block number before the jump to this location is carried out. ;T1—WSF Dr60 R1=200 ; n for WSF Dr60 R2=30 ; vf for WSF Dr60 N10 GOTOF N100 N20 LB001: … N90 GOTOF N170 N100 T1 ; WSF Dr60 N110 m6 N120 S=R1 F=R2 M3 M8 D1 N130 … ...

The jump instruction caused a change in the machining sequence.

3.2 Program section repetitions Program sections between two labels can be repeated any number of times as specified under the address P. For this the program jumps to the first stated label and executes all blocks of the program until the second label is reached. If the number of repetitions is greater than one, this procedure will be repeated as often as stated under address “P”.

Section 2 Notes:

Shifting General introduction The commands in this module are known as frames (calculation instructions). They can influence, cancel or condition each other. In our example a known contour, which is described in a subprogram, is to be milled in various positions and sizes. For this the zero point at the starting point of the contour of the subprogram must be rotated. In order to be able to rotate the program about the starting point of the sub-program, this point must be the zero point. Our work piece zero point (G54) lies in the middle of the work piece.

“TRANS”, “ATRANS” The zero point can be shifted in the programmed axes by means of these commands. The command “TRANS” clears all active frames. “ATRANS” (additive shift) works incremental from the active frames.

Workpiece 1

Workpiece 2

ATRANS x30

ATRANS x30 TRANS x60

Workpiece 3

Workpiece 4

ATRANS x30

0 For instance in case of multiple settings of work pieces the zero point can be shifted and the main program repeatedly executed .

Shifting In the following example the zero point is to be transformed to the starting point of the left hand contour.

Notes:

Task 1: Create a new file with the name MODUL34.MPF!

Task 2: Programme the tool path for face milling the surface. Take into account that the zero point lies in the middle. The Face mill (FACE_MILL_D60) has a diameter of 60 mm, the work piece measures 80 x 80 mm.

Section 3 Notes:

Rotating “ROT”, “AROT” The coordinate system can be rotated by means of the command “ROT” or “AROT”. The counter-clockwise rotation is taken to be positive. The positive X-axis represents the zero-degree position. There are two ways of programming.

AROT Z=90

X+

The zero point has been rotated by 90° about the Z-axis.

AROT RPL=90

+

Y+ X+ The active plane has been rotated by 90° about the Z-axis. The command “ROT” resets the coordinate system and all other active frames back to the original status.

Task 4: Rotate the coordinate system by the required amount about the now valid zero point. Now plunge into the work piece with the milling cutter at a feed rate of 3 mm. Thereafter start the subprogram. Deactivate all frames. N190… … N200 G… Z... N210……. N220 G00 Z2 N230….

Mirroring

Notes:

“MIRROR”, “AMIRROR” With the command “MIRROR” or “AMIRROR” the coordinate system can be mirrored about the programmed axis or axes. In such a case the programmed coordinates are mirrored about the axis or axes by their sign. Variant 1 Mirroring an axis Y+

MIRROR X0 Y0

The command “MIRROR” resets the coordinate system and all other active frames back to the original status.

Task 5: Mirror the work piece about the X-axis. Shift the zero point to the starting point of the contour and there rotate the coordinate system. Take into account the position of the positive X-axis. N240 ….. X… N250 A…. X... Y... N260 G00 X... Y... Z2 N270 … ...

Section 5

Scaling

Notes:

“SCALE”, “ASCALE” In some cases the scaling of contour elements is quite sensible. The existing contours can be scaled up or down by a given factor. The factor is defined following the command Scale for each individual axis.

SCALE y2

ASCALE y2

SCALE x2

SCALE x2 y2

ASCALE x2

SCALE

When programming with “ASCALE” the calculations are always referred to the presently valid coordinate system. With the command “SCALE” the values of the active zero point offset are taken as a basis. All presently active transformations (frames) like offset, mirror, scale are cancelled. If no value follows the command “SCALE” all frames are cancelled. The same applies to the command “M30”.

The value programmed under “SCALE” represents a factor. If this is >1 an enlargement takes place, in case of values “Pocket” -> “Rectangular pocket” to open the corresponding parameter window and help screen by means animation for this technology.

Enter the appropriate parameter values and confirm with pressing the VSK 8 “Accept” or abort with pressing the VSK 7 “Cancel”, to switch back to the editor window. The new program block is inserted automatically into the editor window. The “cursor-to-the-right” key opens the parameter window anytime, to change the input parameters you have done before.

5.4 High Speed Settings With the machining of free form surfaces, there are high demands on machining speed as well as accuracy and surface finish. The optimal speed profile in conjunction with the machining method (roughing, pre-finishing, finishing) can be adjusted easily with the function “HighSpeed settings”. It is advisable to program the cycle in the technology part first, before programming the geometry part. Machining methods: With the function “HighSpeed settings” you can select from 3 different technological machining methods:  "roughing"  "pre-finishing"  "finishing"  "deselect" (default setting) These four machining methods are associated directly with accuracy, velocity and surface quality of the contour path (see the triangle in the Help pictures). The operator/programmer can make an appropriate weighting by adjusting the tolerance value. Different tolerance values and technologies can be assigned to the four machining methods.

Notes:

5.5 Transformations To make programming easier, you can transform the coordinate system. Use this function, for example, to rotate the coordinate system. Coordinate transformations only apply in the current program. You can define displacement, rotation, scaling or mirroring. You can select between a new or an additive coordinate transformation. In the case of a new coordinate transformation, all previously defined coordinate transformations are deselected. An additive coordinate transformation acts in addition to the currently selected coordinate transformations. Supported are:  Offset: For each axis, you can program an offset of the zero point.  Rotation: You can rotate every axis through a specific angle. A positive angle corresponds to a counter-clockwise rotation.  Scaling: You can specify a scale factor for the active machining plane as well as for the tool axis. The programmed coordinates are then multiplied by this factor. Note that the scaling always refers to the zero point of the workpiece. For example, if you increase the size of a pocket whose centre point does not coincide with the zero point, scaling will shift the centre of the pocket.  Mirroring: Furthermore, you can mirror all axes. Enter the axis to be mirrored in each case. Note that with mirroring, the travel direction of the cutting tool (conventional/climb) is also mirrored.

Section 5 Notes:

Various 5.6 Subprogram If you require the same machining steps in the programming of different workpieces, you can define these machining steps in a separate subroutine. You can then call this subroutine in any program. Identical machining steps therefore only have to be programmed once. ShopMill does not differentiate between main program and subprogram. This means that you can call a "standard" sequential program or G code program as subprograms in another sequential program. In this subprogram, you can also call another subprogram. The maximum nesting depth is 8 subroutines. You cannot insert subroutines among blocks chained by the control. If you want to call a sequential control program as a subroutine, the program must already have been calculated once (load or simulate program in “AUTO” operating mode). This is not necessary for G code subroutines. The subroutine must always be stored in the NCK main memory (in a separate directory "XYZ" or in the "ShopMill", "Part programs", "Subprograms" directories). If you want to call a subprogram located on another drive, you can use G code command "EXTCALL". Note: Please note that, when a subprogram is called, ShopMill evaluates the settings in the program header of the subroutine. These settings also remain active even after the subprogram has ended. If you wish to activate the settings from the program header for the main program again, you can make the settings again in the main program after calling the subprogram. 5.6.1 Selecting the function “Subprogram“ By pressing the VSK 3 “Subprogram” the input screen mask “Subprogram” opens.

5.7 Repeating program blocks If certain steps in the machining of a workpiece have to be executed more than once, it is only necessary to program these steps once. ShopMill offers a function for repeating program blocks. You must mark the program blocks that you want to repeat with a start and end marker. You can then call these program blocks up to 9999 times again within a program. The markers must be unique, i.e. they must have different names. No names used in the NCK can be used for this. You can also set markers and repeats after creating the program, but not within chained program blocks. Note: It is also possible to use the same marker as the end marker of the preceding program blocks and as the start marker for the following program blocks. 5.7.1

Section 6 Notes:

Simulation ShopMill provides various extensive and detailed simulation functions for displaying the simulation of the machining. During simulation, the current program is calculated in its complete form and the result is displayed in graphic form. You can select the following modes of representation for simulation:  Top view  3-D view  Side view The simulation uses the correct proportions for the tools and workpiece contours. Cylindrical die-sinking cutters, bevel cutters, bevel cutters with corner rounding and tapered die-sinking cutters are displayed as end milling tools. The traverse paths for the tools are shown in colour: Red line = tool is moving at rapid traverse Green line = tool is moving at machining feedrate In all views, a clock is displayed during graphical processing. The displayed machining time (in hours/minutes/seconds) indicates the approximate time that would actually be required to execute the machining program on the machine (incl. tool change). If a program is interrupted during simultaneous recording, the clock stops. In addition, the current axis coordinates, the override, and the program block currently being executed are also displayed. The active tool with the cutting edge number and feedrate are also displayed in the simulation. Transformations are displayed differently during simulation and simultaneous recording:  Coordinate transformations (translation, scaling, …) are displayed as programmed.  Cylinder surface transformations are displayed as a developed surface.  After swivel transformation, the previous machining operations are deleted from the display and only machining of the swivelled plane is displayed (viewing angle perpendicular to the swivelled plane).  Zero offsets (G54, etc.) do not alter the zero in the graphical display. This means that, in the case of multiple clamping, the machining operations for each of the individual workpieces are plotted on top of one another. Note: If you want to display a different portion of the workpiece from the one defined in ShopMill, you can define a new blank in the program (see section 5.3 in this module).

2. 1 Cycles Cycles are sub-programs (technology-orientated functions) for the execution of a repeatedly occurring operation on a work piece. Cycles can be selected comfortably via Softkeys and can simply be parameterised by means of input masks. Programmed cycles are inserted in G-Code or step-chain-programs as a program step and can be re-selected and newly parameterised at any time. The following functionality is available both in ShopMill and ShopTurn  Technology-orientated cycle selection with help of Softkeys  Input masks for cycle parameters (cycle masks) with help pictures and animations  Context-sensitive online-help for every input window  Support for the contour input (geometry processor)
