SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This section describes the safety precautions related to the use of CNC
units.
It is essential that these precautions be observed by users to ensure the
safe operation of machines equipped with a CNC unit (all descriptions in
this section assume this configuration). Note that some precautions are
related only to specific functions, and thus may not be applicable to
certain CNC units.
Users must also observe the safety precautions related to the machine,
as described in the relevant manual supplied by the machine tool builder.
Before attempting to operate the machine or create a program to control
the operation of the machine, the operator must become fully familiar
with the contents of this manual and relevant manual supplied by the
machine tool builder.

DEFINITION OF WARNING, CAUTION, AND NOTE

This manual includes safety precautions for protecting the user and
preventing damage to the machine. Precautions are classified into
Warning and Caution according to their bearing on safety. Also,
supplementary information is described as a Note. Read the Warning,
Caution, and Note thoroughly before attempting to use the machine.

WARNING

Applied when there is a danger of the user being injured or when there is a

danger of both the user being injured and the equipment being damaged if
the approved procedure is not observed.

CAUTION

Applied when there is a danger of the equipment being damaged, if the

approved procedure is not observed.

NOTE

The Note is used to indicate supplementary information other than

Warning and Caution.

• Read this manual carefully, and store it in a safe place.

GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING

1 Never attempt to machine a workpiece without first checking the operation

of the machine. Before starting a production run, ensure that the machine
is operating correctly by performing a trial run using, for example, the
single block, feedrate override, or machine lock function or by operating
the machine with neither a tool nor workpiece mounted. Failure to confirm
the correct operation of the machine may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine
itself, or injury to the user.

2 Before operating the machine, thoroughly check the entered data.

Operating the machine with incorrectly specified data may result in the
machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.

3 Ensure that the specified feedrate is appropriate for the intended

operation. Generally, for each machine, there is a maximum allowable
feedrate. The appropriate feedrate varies with the intended operation.
Refer to the manual provided with the machine to determine the maximum
allowable feedrate.
If a machine is run at other than the correct speed, it may behave
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine
itself, or injury to the user.

4 When using a tool compensation function, thoroughly check the direction

and amount of compensation. Operating the machine with incorrectly
specified data may result in the machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly
causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the
user.

s-1

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

5 The parameters for the CNC and PMC are factory-set. Usually, there is not

need to change them. When, however, there is not alternative other than
to change a parameter, ensure that you fully understand the function of the
parameter before making any change.
Failure to set a parameter correctly may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine
itself, or injury to the user.

CAUTION

1 Immediately after switching on the power, do not touch any of the keys on

the MDI panel until the position display or alarm screen appears on the
CNC unit.
Some of the keys on the MDI panel are dedicated to maintenance or other
special operations. Pressing any of these keys may place the CNC unit in
other than its normal state. Starting the machine in this state may cause it
to behave unexpectedly.

2 The User’s Manual and programming manual supplied with a CNC unit

provide an overall description of the machine's functions, including any
optional functions. Note that the optional functions will vary from one
machine model to another. Therefore, some functions described in the
manuals may not actually be available for a particular model. Check the
specification of the machine if in doubt.

3 Some functions may have been implemented at the request of the

machine-tool builder. When using such functions, refer to the manual
supplied by the machine-tool builder for details of their use and any related
cautions.

4 The liquid-crystal display is manufactured with very precise fabrication

technology. Some pixels may not be turned on or may remain on. This
phenomenon is a common attribute of LCDs and is not a defect.

NOTE

Programs, parameters, and macro variables are stored in nonvolatile

memory in the CNC unit. Usually, they are retained even if the power is
turned off. Such data may be deleted inadvertently, however, or it may
prove necessary to delete all data from nonvolatile memory as part of error
recovery. To guard against the occurrence of the above, and assure quick
restoration of deleted data, backup all vital data, and keep the backup
copy in a safe place.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS RELATED TO PROGRAMMING

This section covers the major safety precautions related to programming.
Before attempting to perform programming, read the supplied User’s
Manual carefully such that you are fully familiar with their contents.

WARNING

1 Coordinate system setting
If a coordinate system is established incorrectly, the machine may behave

unexpectedly as a result of the program issuing an otherwise valid move
command. Such an unexpected operation may damage the tool, the

machine itself, the workpiece, or cause injury to the user.
2 Positioning by nonlinear interpolation
When performing positioning by nonlinear interpolation (positioning by

nonlinear movement between the start and end points), the tool path must

be carefully confirmed before performing programming. Positioning

involves rapid traverse. If the tool collides with the workpiece, it may

damage the tool, the machine itself, the workpiece, or cause injury to the

user.

s-2

WARNING

3 Function involving a rotary axis
When programming polar coordinate interpolation or normal-direction

(perpendicular) control, pay careful attention to the speed of the rotary

axis. Incorrect programming may result in the rotary axis speed becoming

excessively high, such that centrifugal force causes the chuck to lose its

grip on the workpiece if the latter is not mounted securely. Such mishap is

likely to damage the tool, the machine itself, the workpiece, or cause injury

to the user.
4 Inch/metric conversion
Switching between inch and metric inputs does not convert the

measurement units of data such as the workpiece origin offset, parameter,

and current position. Before starting the machine, therefore, determine

which measurement units are being used. Attempting to perform an

operation with invalid data specified may damage the tool, the machine

itself, the workpiece, or cause injury to the user.
5 Constant surface speed control
When an axis subject to constant surface speed control approaches the

origin of the workpiece coordinate system, the spindle speed may become

excessively high. Therefore, it is necessary to specify a maximum

allowable speed. Specifying the maximum allowable speed incorrectly

may damage the tool, the machine itself, the workpiece, or cause injury to

the user.
6 Stroke check
After switching on the power, perform a manual reference position return

as required. Stroke check is not possible before manual reference position

return is performed. Note that when stroke check is disabled, an alarm is

not issued even if a stroke limit is exceeded, possibly damaging the tool,

the machine itself, the workpiece, or causing injury to the user.
7 Tool post interference check
A tool post interference check is performed based on the tool data

specified during automatic operation. If the tool specification does not

match the tool actually being used, the interference check cannot be made

correctly, possibly damaging the tool or the machine itself, or causing

injury to the user. After switching on the power, or after selecting a tool

post manually, always start automatic operation and specify the tool

number of the tool to be used.

CAUTION

1 Absolute/incremental mode
If a program created with absolute values is run in incremental mode, or

vice versa, the machine may behave unexpectedly.
2 Plane selection
If an incorrect plane is specified for circular interpolation, helical

interpolation, or a canned cycle, the machine may behave unexpectedly.

Refer to the descriptions of the respective functions for details.
3 Torque limit skip
Before attempting a torque limit skip, apply the torque limit. If a torque limit

skip is specified without the torque limit actually being applied, a move

command will be executed without performing a skip.
4 Programmable mirror image
Note that programmed operations vary considerably when a

programmable mirror image is enabled.
5 Compensation function
If a command based on the machine coordinate system or a reference

position return command is issued in compensation function mode,

compensation is temporarily canceled, resulting in the unexpected

behavior of the machine.

Before issuing any of the above commands, therefore, always cancel

compensation function mode.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS RELATED TO HANDLING

This section presents safety precautions related to the handling of
machine tools. Before attempting to operate your machine, read the
supplied User’s Manual carefully, such that you are fully familiar with
their contents.

WARNING

1 Manual operation
When operating the machine manually, determine the current position of

the tool and workpiece, and ensure that the movement axis, direction, and

feedrate have been specified correctly. Incorrect operation of the machine

may damage the tool, the machine itself, the workpiece, or cause injury to

the operator.
2 Manual reference position return
After switching on the power, perform manual reference position return as

required.

If the machine is operated without first performing manual reference

position return, it may behave unexpectedly. Stroke check is not possible

before manual reference position return is performed.

An unexpected operation of the machine may damage the tool, the

machine itself, the workpiece, or cause injury to the user.
3 Manual numeric command
When issuing a manual numeric command, determine the current position

of the tool and workpiece, and ensure that the movement axis, direction,

and command have been specified correctly, and that the entered values

are valid.

Attempting to operate the machine with an invalid command specified may

damage the tool, the machine itself, the workpiece, or cause injury to the

operator.
4 Manual handle feed
In manual handle feed, rotating the handle with a large scale factor, such

as 100, applied causes the tool and table to move rapidly. Careless

handling may damage the tool and/or machine, or cause injury to the user.
5 Disabled override
If override is disabled (according to the specification in a macro variable)

during threading, rigid tapping, or other tapping, the speed cannot be

predicted, possibly damaging the tool, the machine itself, the workpiece, or

causing injury to the operator.
6 Origin/preset operation
Basically, never attempt an origin/preset operation when the machine is

operating under the control of a program. Otherwise, the machine may

behave unexpectedly, possibly damaging the tool, the machine itself, the

tool, or causing injury to the user.
7 Workpiece coordinate system shift
Manual intervention, machine lock, or mirror imaging may shift the

workpiece coordinate system. Before attempting to operate the machine

under the control of a program, confirm the coordinate system carefully.

If the machine is operated under the control of a program without making

allowances for any shift in the workpiece coordinate system, the machine

may behave unexpectedly, possibly damaging the tool, the machine itself,

the workpiece, or causing injury to the operator.
8 Software operator's panel and menu switches
Using the software operator's panel and menu switches, in combination

with the MDI panel, it is possible to specify operations not supported by the

machine operator's panel, such as mode change, override value change,

and jog feed commands.

Note, however, that if the MDI panel keys are operated inadvertently, the

machine may behave unexpectedly, possibly damaging the tool, the

machine itself, the workpiece, or causing injury to the user.

s-4

WARNING

9 RESET key

Pressing the RESET key stops the currently running program. As a result,

the servo axes are stopped. However, the RESET key may fail to function

for reasons such as an MDI panel problem. So, when the motors must be

stopped, use the emergency stop button instead of the RESET key to

ensure security.

CAUTION

1 Manual intervention
If manual intervention is performed during programmed operation of the

machine, the tool path may vary when the machine is restarted. Before

restarting the machine after manual intervention, therefore, confirm the

settings of the manual absolute switches, parameters, and

absolute/incremental command mode.
2 Feed hold, override, and single block
The feed hold, feedrate override, and single block functions can be

disabled using custom macro system variable #3004. Be careful when

operating the machine in this case.
3 Dry run
Usually, a dry run is used to confirm the operation of the machine. During a

dry run, the machine operates at dry run speed, which differs from the

corresponding programmed feedrate. Note that the dry run speed may

sometimes be higher than the programmed feed rate.
4 Tool radius and tool nose radius compensation in MDI mode
Pay careful attention to a tool path specified by a command in MDI mode,

because tool radius or tool nose radius compensation is not applied. When

a command is entered from the MDI to interrupt in automatic operation in

tool radius or tool nose radius compensation mode, pay particular attention

to the tool path when automatic operation is subsequently resumed. Refer

to the descriptions of the corresponding functions for details.
5 Program editing
If the machine is stopped, after which the machining program is edited

(modification, insertion, or deletion), the machine may behave

unexpectedly if machining is resumed under the control of that program.

Basically, do not modify, insert, or delete commands from a machining

program while it is in use.

Explanation

- Display of the servo axes

axes of the path can be displayed. One screen displays load meters for
up to five axes at a time. By pressing the [MONITOR] soft key, load
meters for the 6th axis and up are displayed.

Fig. 1.3.5 (a) Operating monitor (M series)

Fig. 1.3.5 (b) Operating monitor (T series)

19

- Display of the spindle axes

When serial spindles are used, the reading on the load meter and
speedometer can be displayed only for the main serial spindle.

- Unit of graph

The bar graph for the load meter shows load up to 200% (only a value is
displayed for load exceeding 200%). The bar graph for the speedometer
shows the ratio of the current spindle speed to the maximum spindle
speed (100%).

- Load meter

The reading on the load meter depends on servo parameter (No. 2086)
and spindle parameter (No. 4127).

- Speedometer

Although the speedometer normally indicates the speed of the spindle
motor, it can also be used to indicate the speed of the spindle by setting
parameter OPS (No. 3111#6) to 1.
The spindle speed to be displayed during operation monitoring is
calculated from the speed of the spindle motor (see the formula below).
The spindle speed can therefore be displayed, during operation
monitoring, even when no position coder is used. To display the correct
spindle speed, however, the maximum spindle speed for each gear
(spindle speed at each gear ratio when the spindle motor rotates at the
maximum speed) must be set in parameters (No. 3741 to No.3744).
The input of the clutch/gear signals CTH1A,CTH2A<Gn070.3,Gn070.2>
for the first serial spindle is used to determine the gear which is currently
selected. Control the input of the CTH1A and CTH2A signals according
to the gear selection, by referring to the table below.
(Formula for calculating the spindle speed to be displayed)

Spindle speed

operation monitoring

The following table lists the correspondence between clutch/gear signals
CTH1A and CTH2A, used to determine the gear being used, and
parameters:

The speed of the spindle motor and spindle can be displayed, during
operation monitoring, only for the first serial spindle and the spindle
switching axis for the first serial spindle. It cannot be displayed for the
second spindle.

28

1 SCREEN DISPLAY AND OPERATION

Explanation

- Decimal point input

A decimal point can be used when entering a compensation value.

- Other method

An external input/output device can be used to input or output a tool
radius compensation value. See Chapter, “Data Input/Output” in the
Operator’s Manual (Common to Lathe System/Machining Center
System).
Tool length compensation values can be set using the following
functions described in subsequent subsections: direct input of tool offset
value measured, direct input of tool offset value measured B, and
counter input of offset value.

- Number of tool compensation values

16 groups are provided for tool compensation. The number of groups
can be optionally extended to 32, 64, or 999. For the multi-path control,
the above number of groups can be used for each path. Tool geometry
compensation or wear compensation can be selected for each group.

- Disabling entry of compensation values

In some cases, tool wear compensation or tool geometry compensation
values cannot be input because of the settings in parameters WOF, GOF
(No. 3290#0, #1). The input of tool compensation values from the MDI
can be inhibited for a specified range of offset numbers. The first offset
number for which the input of a value is inhibited is set in parameter (No.

3294). The number of offset numbers, starting from the specified first
number, for which the input of a value is inhibited is set in parameter (No.

3295).
Consecutive input values are set as follows:

1) When values are input for offset numbers, starting from one for
which input is not inhibited to one for which input is inhibited, a
warning is issued and values are set only for those offset numbers
for which input is not inhibited.

2) When values are input for offset numbers, starting from one for
which input is inhibited to one for which input is not inhibited, a
warning is issued and no values are set.

- Displaying radius and TIP

The radius and TIP are not displayed if the tool nose radius
compensation option is not displayed.

- Changing offset values during automatic operation

When offset values have been changed during automatic operation, bit 4
(LGT) and bit 6 (LWM) of parameter 5002 can be used for specifying
whether new offset values become valid in the next move command or in

The following two coordinate systems are specified at different locations:
(See Chapter, “Coordinate System” in the Operator’s Manual (Common
to Lathe System/Machining Center System).)
1 Coordinate system on part drawing
The coordinate system is written on the part drawing. As the

program data, the coordinate values on this coordinate system are
used.

1.7.4 Displaying and Setting Pitch Error Compensation Data

If pitch error compensation data is specified, pitch errors of each axis
can be compensated in detection unit per axis.

Pitch error compensation data is set for each compensation point at the
intervals specified for each axis. The origin of compensation is the
reference position to which the tool is returned.

The pitch error compensation data is set according to the characteristics
of the machine connected to the NC. The content of this data varies
according to the machine model. If it is changed, the machine accuracy
is reduced.

In principle, the end user must not alter this data.
Pitch error compensation data can be set with external devices such as

the memory card (see Chapter, “Data Input/Output” in the Operator’s
Manual (Common to Lathe System/Machining Center System)).
Compensation data can also be written directly with the MDI unit.

The following parameters must be set for pitch error compensation. Set
the pitch error compensation value for each pitch error compensation
point number set by these parameters.

In the following example, 33 is set for the pitch error compensation point
at the reference position.

Compensation number

- Bi-directional pitch error compensation

The bi-directional pitch error compensation function allows independent
pitch error compensation in different travel directions. (When the
movement is reversed, compensation is automatically carried out as in a
backlash.)
To use this function, specify pitch error compensation for each travel
direction, that is, separately for the positive and negative directions of a
movement.
When using bi-directional pitch error compensation (setting the
parameter BDP (No. 3605#0) to 1), specify the following parameters in
addition to the pitch error compensation parameter.

• Number of the pitch error compensation point at the negative end

(for travel in the positive direction, for each axis): Parameter No.
3621

• Number of the pitch error compensation point at the positive end (for

travel in the positive direction, for each axis): Parameter No. 3622

• Number of the pitch error compensation point at the negative end

(for travel in the negative direction, for each axis): Parameter 3626

• Pitch error compensation in the reference position when moving to

the reference position from opposite to the reference position return
direction (for each axis): Parameter No. 3627

- Stored Pitch Error Compensation Total Compensating Value Input
function

When bit 0 (APE) of parameter No. 3602 is set to 1, stored pitch error
compensation data can be input by a total value. About details, please
refer to “Stored Pitch Error Compensation Total Compensating Value
Input function” in the CONNECTION MANUAL (FUNCTION).

Procedure for displaying and setting the pitch error compensation data

Procedure

1 Set the following parameters:

• Number of the pitch error compensation point at the reference

position (for each axis): Parameter No. 3620

• Number of the pitch error compensation point having the

smallest value (for each axis): Parameter No. 3621

• Number of the pitch error compensation point having the

largest value (for each axis): Parameter No. 3622

• Pitch error compensation magnification (for each axis):

Parameter No. 3623

• Interval of the pitch error compensation points (for each axis):

Parameter No. 3624

• Travel distance per revolution of pitch error compensation of

3 G CODE

A number following address G determines the meaning of the command
for the concerned block.
G codes are divided into the following two types.

Type Meaning

One-shot G code

Modal G code

[Example]
G01 and G00 are modal G codes in group 01.

G01 X_ ;
Z_ ; G01 is effective in this range.
X_ ;
G00 Z_ ; G00 is effective in this range.
X_ ;
G01 X_ ;
:

T

There are three G code systems in the lathe system : A, B, and C (Table

3.1). Select a G code system using the parameters GSB and GSC (No.
3401#6 and #7). To use G code system B or C, the corresponding option
is needed. Generally, This Handbook describes the use of G code
system A, except when the described item can use only G code system
B or C. In such cases, the use of G code system B or C is described.

Explanation

1. When the clear state (parameter CLR (No. 3402#6)) is set at
power-up or reset, the modal G codes are placed in the states
described below.
(1) The modal G codes are placed in the states marked with (*) as

(2) G20 and G21 remain unchanged when the clear state is set at

(3) Which status G22 or G23 at power on is set by parameter G23

(4) The user can select G00 or G01 by setting parameter G01 (No.

(5) The user can select G90 or G91 by setting parameter G91 (No.

When G code system B or C is used in the lathe system, setting

(6) In the machining center system, the user can select G17, G18,

2. G codes other than G10 and G11 are one-shot G codes in group 00.

3. When a G code not listed in the G code list is specified, or a G code
that has no corresponding option is specified, alarm PS0010 occurs.

4. Multiple G codes can be specified in the same block if each G code
belongs to a different group. If multiple G codes that belong to the
same group are specified in the same block, only the last G code
specified is valid.

5. If a G code belonging to group 01 is specified in a canned cycle for
drilling, the canned cycle for drilling is cancelled. This means that
the same state set by specifying G80 is set. Note that the G codes in
group 01 are not affected by a G code specifying a canned cycle for
drilling.

6. G codes are indicated by group.

7. The group of G60 is switched according to the setting of the
parameter MDL (No. 5431#0). (When the MDL bit is set to 0, the 00
group is selected. When the MDL bit is set to 1, the 01 group is
selected.)

The G code is effective only in the block in which it is
specified.

The G code is effective until another G code of the same
group is specified.

power-up or reset.

(No. 3402#7). However, G22 and G23 remain unchanged when
the clear state is set at reset.

3402#0).

3402#3).

parameter G91 (No. 3402#3) determines which code, either
G90 or G91, is effective.

or G19 by setting parameters G18 and G19 (No. 3402#1 and
#2).

65

T

8. When G code system A is used, absolute or incremental
programming is specified not by a G code (G90/G91) but by an
address word (X/U, Z/W, C/H, Y/V). Only the initial level is provided
at the return point of the canned cycle for drilling..
