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 the degree of the risk or the severity of
damage.
Also, supplementary information is described as 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

damage 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

To ensure safety while using a machine featuring the MANUAL GUIDE i function, observe the following
precautions:

WARNING

1 Confirm, on the screen, that the data has been entered correctly before

proceeding to the next operation. Attempting operation with incorrect data may
cause the tool to strike the workpiece or machine, possibly breaking the tool or
machine or injuring the operator.

2 Before starting the machine using the tool compensation function, carefully

determine the direction of compensation and the compensation value, and
ensure that the tool will not strike the workpiece or machine. Otherwise the tool
or machine may be damaged or the operator may be injured.

s-1

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-63874EN/11

WARNING

3 When using constant surface speed control, set the maximum rotating speed of

the spindle to a value that is allowed for the workpiece and workpiece hold unit.
Otherwise, the workpiece or hold unit may be removed by centrifugal force to
damage the tool machine or injure the operator.

4 Set all necessary parameters and data items before starting MANUAL GUIDE i

operations. Note that if the cutting conditions are not suitable for the workpiece,
the tool may be damaged or the operator may be injured.

5 After creating a machining program using MANUAL GUIDE i functions, do no

run the machine on that program immediately. Instead, confirm every step of the
resultant program, and make sure that the tool path and machining operation are
correct and that the tool will not strike the workpiece or machine. Before starting
production machining, run the machine with no workpiece attached to the
machine to make sure that the tool will not strike a workpiece or the machine. If
the tool strikes the machine and/or work-piece, the tool and/or machine may be
damaged, and even injuries the operator.

CAUTION

After pressing the power-on button, do not touch any keys on the keyboard until

the initial screen appears. Some keys are used for maintenance or special
operations such that pressing such a key may cause an unexpected operation.

OVERVIEW OF THIS MANUAL

This manual describes the functions of MANUAL GUIDE i for the Series 0i-MODEL F, 0i-MODEL D,
MODEL C, Series 16i/18i/21i-MODEL B, Series 30i/31i/32i-MODEL A or Series 30i/31i/32i-MODEL
B.

For other functions, refer to the operator’s manual for the Series 0i-MODEL F, 0i-MODEL D, MODEL C,
Series 16i/18i/21i-MODEL B, Series 30i/31i/32i-MODEL A, or Series 30i/31i/32i-MODEL B.
The specifications and usage of MANUAL GUIDE i may vary according to the specifications of the
operator’s panel of a machine tool. Be sure to read the manual provided by the machine tool builder.

The functions of the CNC machine tool system are determined not only by the CNC, but by the
combination of the machine tool, the power magnetic circuit in the machine tool, the servo system, the
CNC, and the operator’s panel.

It is impossible to cover all possible combinations of all functions, programming methods, and operations
in a single manual.

This manual explains only the MANUAL GUIDE i operations provided for the CNC. For individual CNC
machine tools, refer to applicable manuals from the machine tool builders.

This manual explains as many detailed functions as possible. However, it is not possible to describe all of
the items which cannot be done or which the operator must not do. Therefore, please assume that
functions other than those described in this manual cannot be performed.

Detailed information and special conditions are explained in notes. The readers may encounter new
technical terms in the notes not previously defined or described. In this case, read through this manual
first, then review the details.

B-63874EN/11 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SYMBOLS USED

In this manual, the following conventions are used for keys.

(1) Function keys are represented by enclosing their names between the special characters < and >:
Example) <PROGRM>, <OFSET>
(2) The numbers to be input by Numeral keys are indicated as it is.
Example) 12.345
(3) Similarly to functions keys, the input (INPUT) and editing keys are represented by enclosing their

names between the special characters < and >:
Example) 12.345 <INPUT>, <ALTER>
(4) Soft-keys are enclosed in brackets [ ]:
Example) [LIST], [LINE]
(5) The cursor move keys are indicated by the following symbols :
Example) <↑>, <↓>, <←>, <→>
(6) The page change keys are indicated by the following symbols :
Example) <↑ PAGE>, <PAGE ↓>

Soft Keys

Numeral keys

Cursor move keys
(or cursor keys)

Page change keys
(or page keys)

INPUT key

Function keys

FORMAT OF PROGRAMS TO BE USED

The ISO code format, which is in wide use for CNC machine tools, is used on machining programs used
with MANUAL GUIDE i. In addition, G4-digit machining cycles are used to implement advanced
machining operations.
G4-digit machining cycles can be input and edited easily using a menu window, which enables machining
data to be entered interactively.
When a machining program is being edited, an address at which the cursor is placed is explained at the
bottom of the screen.

s-3

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-63874EN/11

1. Word

The term “word” refers to a minimum unit in NC machining programs. It is represented using a

combination of an address (one of letters A to Z), some of digits 0 to 9, an arithmetic symbol (+ or -),

and/or a decimal point.
The “address” represents the meaning of numeric data, such as a machine movement axis

2. Cursor

The term “cursor” used with machining programs refers to a display portion where a string of

characters is shown against a yellow background. This portion is referred to as “cursor-selected

display portion”. This is the place where an actual editing action is made during machining program

editing.
Either of the following two items can be cursor-selected.

<1> 1 block

When the cursor is shifted to the beginning of the next block by pressing the cursor move key

<→>, the entire block is selected.

When the cursor is placed at the address of the beginning of a certain block, pressing the cursor

move key <←> causes the entire block to be selected.

When a block is already selected, pressing the cursor move key <↑> or <↓> causes the block,

respectively, following or preceding the block of interest to be selected.

<2> 1 word

When a whole block is selected, pressing the cursor move key <←> or <→> causes a word to

be selected. Each time the cursor move key <←> or <→> is pressed, a new word is selected.

When a word in a certain block is selected, pressing the cursor move key <↑> or <↓> causes

the same-number address in the block, respectively, following or preceding the block of interest
to be selected.

NOTE

1 On a screen where numeric data, such as offset data or cycle machining data, is

input directly, the term “cursor” refers to a data portion enclosed in a blue frame.

2 A data portion enclosed in a blue frame is referred to as “cursor-selected data

item”. Once numeric data is keyed in with numeric keys, pressing the <INPUT>
key causes the numeric data to be input as the data item of interest.

3 Pressing the cursor move key <←>, <↑>, <↓>, or <→> causes a new data item

to be selected.
