SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING
1.
Before starting to use the conversational functions (such as creation/run of machining programs,
measurement of tool compensation, and specification of a chuck barrier), close the doors of the
machine, and take any other necessary safety measures.
Failure to take a necessary safety measure may bring about the death of, or a serious injury to,
the user.
2.
Before going to the next step of handling or operation, check the display on the screen carefully
to assure that the intended data has been entered correctly.
If the machine is used with incorrect data, the tool may bump against the machine and/or
workpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, and even injuries.
3.
When you are using a tool compensation function, before starting the machine, check the
direction and amount of compensation so that the tool will not bump against the workpiece or
machine.
If the tool bumps against the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be
damaged, and even injuries may occur.
4.
After you create a machining program using a conversational function, do not run the machine
on that program immediately . Instead, carry out machining simulation to make sure that the tool
path and machining operation are correct and that the tool will not bump against the workpiece
or machine (including the chuck and tailstock).
If the tool bumps against the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be
damaged, and even injuries may occur.
5.
After you convert a machining program created using a conversational function to NC program
format, do not run the machine on that program immediately . Instead, confirm every step of the
resultant NC program, and make sure that the tool path and machining operation are correct and
that the tool will not bump against the workpiece or machine (including the chuck and tailstock).
Before starting production machining, run the machine with no workpiece attached to the
machine to make sure that the tool will not bump against a workpiece (when attached) or the
machine (including the chuck and tailstock).
If the tool bumps against the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be
damaged, and even injuries may occur.
6.
Before starting to create a machining program using a conversational function, make sure that
all necessary data among the tool data, cutting condition data, surface roughness data, pre–tool
list, and chuck and tailstock data, and all parameters necessary for the conversational function
are set correctly.
If the necessary data is not set correctly , any required cutting conditions will not be set correctly ,
possibly causing damage to the tool, and even injuries.

W ARNING
7.
When you run 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 sure to use the correct tool geometry compensation data measured on the relevant
measurement guidance screen provided by the conversational function.
If the machine is used with incorrect data, the tool may bump against the machine and/or
workpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, and even injuries.
The method to measure the tool compensation amount may be provided by the machine tool
builder. If this is the case, before starting measurement, read carefully and understand
sufficiently the applicable user’s guide from the machine tool builder.
8.
Before using a chuck barrier or chuck/tailstock barrier, perform a manual operation (such as jog
feed or manual pulse generator feed) to make sure that the barrier area data is set correctly , that
the barrier function occurs at the correct position, and that the tool will not bump against the
chuck or tailstock.
If the tool bumps against the chuck and/or tailstock, the tool and/or machine may be damaged,
and even injuries may occur.
9.
When pressing the power ON button, do not touch any key on the keyboard before a display
appears on the screen. Some keys on the keyboard are allocated to maintenance or other special
operations. Pressing any of these keys may cause the machine to behave unexpectedly.

1. OVERVIEW
Overview of the manual
This manual describes the functions related to the one–/two–path lathe
Super CAP T and Super CAP II T of the FANUC Series 16/18–TB and
FANUC Series 16/18–TC Series 16i/18i–TA. (The Super CAP II T is
usable only with the FANUC Series 16/18–TC, Series 16i/18i–TA.)
The one–/two–path Super CAP T and Super CAP II T differ from each
other only in conversational programming screens and machining
simulation. All other aspects such as screen displays, key operations, and
machining operations are identical. Therefore, this manual mainly
describes the former Super CAP, and explains the conversational
automatic programming function of the latter Super CAP as required.
For other functions, refer to the operator’s manual for the F ANUC Series
16/18–TB or FANUC Series 16/18–TC Series 16i/18i–TA.
The specifications and usage of the conversational automatic
programming function 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 conversational automatic programming
function provided for the CNC. For individual CNC machine tools, refer
to applicable manuals from the machine tool builders.
The manuals from machine tool builders take precedence over this
manual.
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 this manual through first, then
review the details.
