SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using a machine equipped with the FANUC TURN MATE i, be
sure to observe the following safety precautions.
s-1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-64254EN/06
DEFINITION OF WARNING, CAUTION, AND NOTE
This manual includes safety precautions 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 to the user being
injured or when there is a risk to the user, being
injured, and the equipment, being damaged, if the
warning statement is not followed up.
CAUTION
Applied when there is a danger to the equipment
being damaged, if the caution statement is not
followed up.
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.
s-2
B-64254EN/06 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
To ensure safety while using a machine featuring the TURN MATE 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 and/or machine
and/or injuring the operator.
2 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
holding unit. Otherwise, the workpiece or holding
unit may be removed by centrifugal force damaging
the machine or injuring the operator.
3 Set all necessary parameters and data items before
starting TURN MATE i operations. Note that if the
cutting conditions are not suitable for the workpiece,
the tool may be damaged and/or the operator may
be injured.
4 After creating a machining program using TURN
MATE i functions, do no run the machining program
immediately on the 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
workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be
damaged, with possibility to injure the operator.
5 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.
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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-64254EN/06
OVERVIEW OF THIS MANUAL
This manual describes the functions of "TURN MATE i" for the
Series 0 i -TC/Mate-TC or Series 0 i -TD/Mate-TD.
For other functions, other than TURN MATE i, refer to the operator’s
manual for the Series 0 i-TC/Mate-TC or Series 0 i -TD/Mate-TD.
The specifications and features of TURN MATE i may differ from the
specifications of the operator’s manual supplied by the machine tool
builder. 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 of 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 TURN MATE i operations provided for
the CNC. For individual CNC machine tools, refer to applicable
manuals supplied by the machine tool builders.
This manual explains as many detailed functions as possible.
However, it is not possible to describe all the items which cannot be
done or which the operator must not do. Therefore, please assume
that functions not 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, and then review the details.

I. WHAT’S TURN MATE i ?
1.OVERVIEW OF
B-64254EN/06 OVERVIEW OF TURN MATE i
TURN MATE i
1 WHAT’S TURN MATE i ?
TURN MATE i provides integrated operation guidance functions for
CNC lathes that are designed to enable the operator to perform turning
without the need to create an NC program.
TURN MATE i screen
It has the following main features:
(1) Integrated display of all information necessary for operation on a
single screen
All information necessary for operation is integrated on a single
screen, so that the operator need not switch between screens.
(2) Simple screen operation using the touch panel or cursor keys
By touching an item displayed on the screen or selecting it using
cursor keys, the operator can jump to a related operation screen.
This allows intuitive operation.
(3) Easily operable even by operators inexperienced in CNCs
It is not necessary to create machining programs in ISO code
format. By entering data in accordance with the guidance
drawing displayed on the screen, it is possible to perform turning
with ease.
(4) Support of cutting methods for general-purpose lathes
It supports two types of cutting methods, manual cutting and
cutting cycles, often used with general-purpose lathes.

Logarithmic function calculations are performed by using the key
operations described below. The result of a calculation is
displayed at the cursor position of input data.
(1) Common logarithm : LOG[45] [INPUT]
(2) Natural logarithm : LN[45] [INPUT]
For a calculation, brackets ( [ ] ) are required at all times.

• Absolute value
An absolute value calculation is performed by using the key
operations described below. The result of a calculation is
displayed at the cursor position of input data.
(1) Absolute value : ABS[-45] [INPUT]
For a calculation, brackets ( [ ] ) are required at all times.
• Rounding
Rounding operations are performed by using the key operations
described below. The result of a calculation is displayed at the
cursor position of input data.
(1) Rounding 1 (rounding off to an integer) :
RND[1.234] [INPUT]
(2) Rounding 2 (rounding off "a" to the decimal places
RND2[1.267,0.01] [INPUT]
(Note that for a calculation of rounding 2, a special format using
two arguments is required. Enter data according to the format
RND[a,b]. The value of "a" is rounded off to the decimal places
specified by "b". As "b", do not specify a value other than 1,
0.1, 0.01, and so forth.)
For a calculation, brackets ( [ ] ) are required at all times.
• Discarding
This operation discards all decimal places. A discarding
operation is performed by using the key operations described
below. The result of a calculation is displayed at the cursor
position of input data.
(1) Discarding : FIX[1.234] [INPUT]
For a calculation, brackets ( [ ] ) are required at all times.
• Circle ratio
A circle ratio calculation is performed by using the key
operations described below. The circle ratio 3.14... is indicated.

[SET] key
Workpiece coordinate system setting screen (Z coordinate)
It is possible to decide on the origin of the workpiece coordinate
system by following the procedure described below.
<Measurement of X coordinate>
(1) To determine a standard plane, cut the side at a low feedrate,
using the handle.
(2) Retract the tool along the Z-axis only, not moving it along the
X-axis, then stop the spindle.
(3) Measure the diameter of the workpiece, assume this value as the
input value for X, and set it for the input item X.
(4) Push the [SET] key.
(5) The X coordinate of the present position shown on the upper left
side of the screen is replaced with the value entered in <3>.
<Measurement of Z coordinate>
(1) Bring the tool in contact with the workpiece face side, and
measure the Z coordinate.
(2) Set the desired value for the input item Z.
(3) Push the [SET] key.
(4) The Z coordinate of the present position shown on the upper left
side of the screen is replaced with the value entered in <2>.
