2.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE SOFTWARE

The software includes the pages displayed on the NC screen. It is functionally divided in

sections, called “environments”. Each environment contains “pages” which are used for programming and using the Numerical Control through the selection of appropriate menu items, options and commands.

The software consists of the following environments:

● Manual:

Allows the movement of the axes, the forced descent of spindles and slots, and contains a single «MANUAL» page.

● Editor:

Used to prepare the programs used to machine the panels. It consists of the pages: «EDITOR\PROGRAM DATA»; «EDITOR\ASSISTED»; «EDITOR\OPTIMISED BORINGS»; «EDITOR\SIMULATION»; «CAD»; «WORK TABLES».

● Automatic:

Controls the execution of the programs prepared for the machining of the panels. It consists of the pages: «AUTOMATIC\PROGRAM»; «AUTOMATIC\LIST».

● Setup:

Allows the set-up of the machine and contains the pages: «UTIL\MAINTENANCE»; «UTIL\CONFIGURATION»; «UTIL\DEBUGGER»; «DEBUG\SYSTEM MONITOR»; «DATA\GENERAL DATA»; «DATA\AXES PARAMETER»; «DATA\HEAD CORRECTION»; «DATA\TOOL TABLES»; «DATA\TOOLING»; «DATA\DRILL-BIT CYCLES»; «DATA\MAGAZINE MANAG.»; «DATA\AGGREGATES»; «DATA\BAR CODE S»

Description of the base element label

Labels consist of a letter and a number. The letter identifies the type of base element:

“C” identifies a CIRCLE, “L” identifies a LINE, “P” identifies a POINT.

The number identifies the sequential order in which the elements have been drawn (e.g.: if the first element drawn is a circle = C1; if the second element drawn is a point = P2; if the third element drawn is a line = L3; etc.).

Description of colours in the graphics ar ea

BASIC PROGRAMMING 5

5.1 BASIC PROGRAMMING - DESCRIPTION

The expression “basic programming” refers to the creation of a computer file, called “program”, containing all the information necessary to perform the required machining operation. To better organise the work of the machine, another file, called “Work List”, may be created. A “Work List” is a list of all the names of the programs to be executed with the amount of panels to be machined for each one.

5.2 PROGRAMMABLE OPERATIONS

The machining operations that may be programmed are borings, routings, and cuts, either vertical or horizontal in relation to the panel laying on the work table.

5.2.1 Programmable borings

Two types of borings may be programmed: “optimised” or “non optimised” borings. “Optimised” borings may be executed only by the spindles of the boring head. In this type of

programming, the operator sets the boring information (diameter, bit type, etc.), which is then used by the NC to search automatically the most suitable tools in the configuration of the boring head. T o optimise the machining times, the NC will then select, among the spindles with the most suitable tools, which tools to use and their best work path.

“Non optimised” borings may be executed with the spindles of the boring head, with suitable aggregates, and, if necessary, with slot 2. In this type of programming, the operator sets the boring information and selects which spindles, aggregates or slot to use in the machining.

The various types of borings are illustrated below.

● Vertical and horizontal boring on straight line. Executed with the tools of the boring head

spindles or with the tool of slot 2.

● Vertical and horizontal boring on angled line. Executed with the tools of boring head

spindles or with the tool of slot 2.

● Vertical boring on circle. Executed with tools of the boring head spindles or with the tool of

slot 2.

● Macro-directed vertical and horizontal boring. Executed with the tools of the boring head

spindle. Ten macros are available: Macro BSM1. Executes a vertical system 32 boring centred on the panel. Macro BSM2. Executes a vertical system 32 boring from a fixed initial value. Macro BSM3. Executes a vertical boring for assembly. Macro BSM4. Executes a horizontal boring for assembly. Macro BSM5. Executes a vertical boring for hinges. Macro BSM6. Executes a vertical boring for cross-shaped mounting plates.

11) Press the ENTER key on the <OK> field to confirm the operation and a file with the extension *.PAN will be automatically created.

5.5 PARAMETER-GUIDED ADJUSTMENT OF THE PROGRAM

The expression “parameter-guided adjustment of the program” indicates the automatic adaption of the programmed machining to match the changed dimensions of the panel. To implement parameter-guided adjustment in a program, you first create parameters associated to values such as for instance the development of an expression, and then apply these parameters to the programming. T o better understand the concept behind the parameter-guided adjustment of machining program, and how you can apply it to your own work, please refer to

“PROGRAMMING OPTIMISED BORINGS USING MACROS” (page 5-12).

The parameters are created in the relative table accessible from the «EDITOR\OPTIMISED BORINGS» or «EDITOR\ASSISTED» pages, by selecting the <Param> menu. The Parameters Table of each program contains as default all the main parameters relative to the dimensions of the panel (X = Length, Y = Width, Z = Thickness).

Each line in the table contains a single

parameter, and is made up of two fields: on the left the name and on the right the value with the

string “/MMP” (e.g. 32/MMP), which the NC uses to convert automatically to the set unit of measurement. It is also possible to replace the value with an expression

. Parameters having an expression in their value field must be written after the parameters having a fixed numerical value to allow the NC to calculate the value of the expression without interpretation errors.

Entering expressions

Besides the normal alphanumeric characters, the expression parser of the NC can also accept the following calculation operators:

%(x) = calculation of the integer part of the value “x”; $(x) = calculation o f the sine of “x”; @(x) = calculation of the cosine of “x”; ^(x) = calculation of the square root of “x”.

5.6 DELETING A PROGRAM

1) From the «EDITOR\PROGRAM DATA», select the <Files> menu and the <Delete> option

to delete a specific program, or the <Delete all> option to delete all the program stored in the memory of the NC.

5.8 PROGRAMMING OPTIMISED BORINGS USING MACROS

Macros are parametric subprograms that may be used during programming. Ten macros are available, 7 of which have been defined already by BIESSE, and 3 are available to the operator.

Macros are created like the programs and have the same extension (*.PAN), but must be saved

with the prefix “BSM” before the identification number (e.g. BSM8) to allow the NC to recognise them as macro. Since they are essentially programs, they can be opened, changed, parameterised and saved as such.

5.8.1 Accessing the parameters of the macros for changing the values

More information on the creation of parameters may be found in the paragraph

“PARAMETER-GUIDED ADJUSTMENT OF THE PROGRAM” (page 5-7).

1) From the «EDITOR\PROGRAM DATA» page open the macro as a program and select the <Edit F> menu.

2) Select the <Param> menu and press the ENTER key to access the parameters. To determine which parameters may be modified, refer to the description of the selected macro.

When modifying a value, never cancel the setting /MMP, as this is required to

3) When the change has been completed, press twice the ESC key and save the macro as a program, retaining the original name.

5.8.2 Using macros for optimised boring operations

1) From the «EDITOR\PROGRAM DATA» page, select the <Edit F> menu.

2) Select the macro to be applied to the program from the 10 present in the commands bar and press the ENTER key. Automatically, the NC will open a popup where you can enter the offset of the macro, that is the reference for the application in the program. To determine the offset, please refer to the description of the selected macro.

3) Press the ENTER key on the <OK> field to confirm the use of the macro, and then save the program. Press the ESC key to cancel.
