GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

1Before attempting to use a conversational function (such as the creation/editing/run of machining programs, machining simulation, and the measurement of tool compensation), close the doors of the machine, and apply any other safety measures deemed necessary.

Failure to apply the necessary safety precautions may result in the serious injury, or even death, of the user or bystanders.

2.Before proceeding to the next step of a procedure, check the display on the screen carefully to ensure that the data has been entered exactly as intended.

If the machine is operated with incorrect data, the tool may collide with the machine and/or workpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, or even injury to the user or bystanders.

3.When the tool compensation function is being used before starting the machine, check the direction and amount of compensation so that the tool will not collide with the workpiece or machine.

If the tool collides with the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be damaged, plus there is the danger of injury to the user or bystanders.

4.After you create a machining program using a conversational function, do not operate the machine using that program immediately. Instead, perform a machining simulation to ensure that the tool path and machining operation are satisfactory and that the tool will not collide with the workpiece or machine (including the jig).

If the tool collides with the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be damaged, plus there is the danger of injury to the user or bystanders.

5.After you convert a machining program, created using a conversational function, to NC program format, do not operate the machine using that program immediately. Instead, confirm every step of the NC program, and ensure that the tool path and machining operation are satisfactory and that the tool will not collide with the workpiece or machine (including the jig). Before starting production machining, operate the machine without a workpiece mounted to ensure that the tool will not collide with the workpiece (were it to be mounted) or the machine (including the jig).

If the tool collides with the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be damaged, plus there is the danger of injury to the user or bystanders.

6.Before starting to create a machining program using a conversational function, first check that all required data within the tool file, cutting condition file, and pre±tool list, and all parameters required for the conversational function, is set correctly.

If any of the required data is not set correctly, the cutting conditions will not be set correctly, possibly resulting in damage to the tool, or even injury to the user or bystanders.

B±62154E/03

WARNING

7.When you operate the machine using a machining program created using a conversational function or a machining program generated by converting another machining program to NC program format, be particularly careful to use the correct tool compensation data.

If the machine is used with incorrect data, the tool may collide with the machine and/or workpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, or even injury to the user or bystanders.The method of measuring the tool compensation amount varies depending on the machine tool builder. Before starting measurement, therefore, users must read and become totally familiar with the relevant manual(s), supplied by the machine tool builder.

8.After pressing the power ON button, do not touch any key on the keyboard until the screen display appears. Some keys are allocated to maintenance or other special operations. Pressing any of these keys may result in the machine not behaving as expected.

1. MANUAL OVERVIEW

This manual describes the functions of FANUC Super CAP M and FANUC Super CAP II M.

For the other functions, refer to the operator's manual describing the NC of the FANUC Series 16/18.

The specifications and use of FANUC Super CAP M and FANUC Super CAP II M depend on the specifications of the machine operator's manual. Be sure to refer to the manual written by the machine tool builder.

The functions of a CNC machine tool system are determined not only by the CNC but also by the combination of the machine, power magnetics circuit, servo system, CNC, operator's panel, and other units.

It is impossible to explain the functions, programming, and operations for each of the combinations.

This manual describes the conversational input functions of the CNC. For the functions of each CNC machine tool, refer to the manual written by the machine tool builder.

FANUC Super CAP M and FANUC Super CAP II M are compatible with the following models. These model names are abbreviated in this manual.

FANUC Super CAP M and FANUC Super CAP II M consist of custom macro programs. In addition to standard custom macro instructions, many conversational macro instructions (for example, a macro instruction for drawing) are provided.

FANUC separately provides the FANUC standard program, a conversational automatic programming function created from custom macro programs by FANUC. (The FANUC standard program can be purchased as a ROM module.) By adding to and modifying the custom macro program of the FANUC standard program, and each machine tool builder can create his own conversational automatic programming function incorporating the machining know±how.

This manual describes the conversational automatic programming function provided by FANUC. The specifications depend on each machine tool builder. Ask the machine tool builder beforehand whether they have added to or modified the standard function.

The description in the manual written by the machine tool builder has priority over that in this manual.

<About Super CAP II M>

Super CAP II M is a development of Super CAP M, featuring the following new functions:

(1)Neutral background color for the display screen, and 3±D frames for the windows and soft keys

(2)Finer and faster machining simulation based on a solid model

(3)Cross±sectional display of a product based on a solid model

(4)Selectable screen display colors, with the storage of up to four color schemes

(5)Improved visual interface for contour machining, in which the contour figure is displayed during contour programming

All other functions such as screen displays, key operations, and machining functions are the same as those of super CAP M.

Moreover, machining programs, tool data, and conversational function parameters created with Super CAP M can also be used with Super CAP II M.

For details of the new functions, see Part III, ºNew Features of Super CAP II M.º

This manual gives a lot of information to the reader. It, however, cannot detail all the operations that must not be attempted or cannot be executed.

The system can execute only functions that are explicitly said to be possible in this manual.

Notes in this manual describe particular conditions in minute detail. The note may include terms which have not yet been explained. If such terms are found, skip the note and read the remaining part of the manual. Then, read the note again.

WARNING

WARNING

Before starting to create a machining program using a conversational function, first check that all required data within the tool file, cutting condition file, and pre±tool list, is set correctly.

If any of the required data is not set correctly, the cutting conditions will not be set correctly, possibly causing damage to the tool, or even injury to the user or bystanders.

Before proceeding to the next step of a procedure, carefully check the contents of the screen display to ensure that the data has been entered exactly as intended.

If the machine is operated with incorrect data, the tool may collide with the machine and/or workpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, or even injury to the user or bystanders.

WARNING

1.

The machining programs presented in the following examples differ from those used for actual machining. Actual data will vary from one machine model to another. Refer to the relevant manual(s), supplied by the machine tool builder, for details.

If the set data is incompatible with the characteristics of a specific machine, a machining program created using the conversational function will not be able to operate as intended.

If a machining program fails to operate correctly, the tool may collide with the workpiece, or the machine may be forced to perform machining that exceeds its physical capabilities, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, or even injury to the user or bystanders.

NOTE 1 Automatic tool selection function: After the ID number of the last tool (72, in this example) is entered, the function automatically selects the pre±tools required for facing (roughing tool 71, in this example). It also displays the ID numbers of the pre±tools.

When a tap is specified as the last tool in tapping, for example, a center drilling tool to make a prepared hole, drilling tool, and chamfering tool are automatically selected.

The pre±tools to be used are selected based on the data specified in the pre±tool list. When the automatic tool selection function is used to select pre±tools, be sure to specify the pre±tool data in the pre±tool list before starting the program. (See the description of the pre±tool list in Section 1.7.) If no data is specified in the pre±tool list, the last tool is also automatically selected as a pre±tool.

When a machining program is created using the automatic tool selection function, ensure that WARNING the generated machining sequence and the tools to be used are satisfactory.

If the machining sequence or a tool to be used is not as intended, the tool may collide with the workpiece, or the machine may be forced to perform machining that exceeds its physical capabilities, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, or even injury to the user or bystanders.

The function determines the tool name, nominal diameter, and tool length compensation number according to the data specified in the tool file. It determines the spindle speed, feedrate, and other cutting conditions according to the data specified in the cutting conditions file and the work material specified on the initial setting menu. It can correctly select the tool name and other data only when the correct data is specified in the tool file, cutting conditions file, and the initial setting menu. (See the descriptions of the tool file and cutting conditions file in Section 1.7.)

The cutting conditions are determined automatically according to the selected machining type WARNING and tools. The user must check that the automatically determined data is satisfactory.

If any of the cutting condition data or a tool to be used is not as intended, the tool may collide with the workpiece, or the machine may be forced to perform machining that exceeds its physical capabilities, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, or even injury to the user or bystanders.

NOTE If the return key, [<], at the bottom left corner of the screen is pressed instead of the soft key [INPUT END], the following message appears on the screen: MAKING PROCESS IS LOST, O.K.? (YES ±> [<], NO ±> [CAN]). When the [<] key is pressed again, the start menu for the preceding process is deleted. This prevents the creation of a machining process which does not consist of a start menu, figure menu, and process end. If the start menu of such a preceding process remains, there is danger that the resultant machining program cannot be executed.

14.To terminate the facing menu, press the soft key [PROCES END]. The first screen is displayed again. The terminated process is incorporated in the program screen.
