1. OUTLINE

The SEIKI-SEICOS Σ 10M/16M/18M has realized a miniaturized high-reliability system by integrating up-to-date device technology. TheΣ10M/16M can perform high-speed, highaccuracy machining, using 64-bit RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer). The operation system as a human interface is designed very user-friendly from a perspective of the user. For example, a canned cycle editing function is provided as an option in order to facilitate editing of canned cycles. This manual describes how to operate the following models. See “SEIKI-SEICOS Σ10M/16M/18M-PROGRAMMING” for programming, and “SEIKI-SEICOS Σ10/16/18/21” for alarms and maintenance.

Model Designation SEIKI-SEICOS Σ10M S-Σ 10M SEIKI-SEICOS Σ16M S-Σ 16M SEIKI-SEICOS Σ18M S-Σ 18M

1-1 Precautions for Reading This Manual

(1) This manual and SEIKI-SEICOS SΣ10M/16M/18M-PROGRAMMING describe the entire

functions of this NC unit, including the optional functions. The selected functions vary from one machine to another. As some of the functions described in the manual are not

available, check the specifications of the machine beforehand. (2) When there is any function not described “possible” in the manual, take it “impossible.” (3) The information herein is subject to change without prior notice.

CAUTION The programs, parameters, macro variables, and tool offset amounts have been stored in the

internal memory of the NC unit. Generally, they are not lost by turning on/off the power. They may be erased by mistake or you are forced to erase the precious data saved in the memory in order to recover from a failure. Make back-up copies of various data in advance so that you can quickly recover from such an unexpected incident.

CAUTION Before starting machining, be sure to fully confirm proper operation of Machine by performing a

trial run. Before using work coordinate data and tool offset data, be sure to confirm that the data have been properly input.

1-6 Position Detector

The pulse encoder is provided as a standard position detector. Optionally, the pulse scale or the Inductosyn detecting function can be selected. When the Inductosyn detecting function is selected, however, you need a converter which serves as an interface equivalent to the pulse scaler. When adding an option for detecting an absolute position, an absolute encoder will be attached.

2 - 3

2. INTERPOLATING FUNCTIONS

2-1 Positioning (G00)

Each axis can be fed at a rapid traverse rate independently by specifying G00.

2-2 Linear Interpolation (G01)

Linear interpolation is performed at the feed rate specified by an F-code in a G01 command.

2-3 Single Direction Positioning (G60)

Since this function allows precise positioning with backlash excluded, positioning can be performed from only one direction.

2-4 Circular Interpolation (G02, G03)

Circular interpolation can be performed arbitrarily at 0 to 3600 at the feed rate specified by an F-code in a G02 or G03 command.

2-5 Radius Designation on Arc (G02, G03)

R can be directly specified as a circular arc radius value, assuming I, J, and K to be a vector amount from a start point to the center in circular interpolation.

2-6 Sine Curvilinear Interpolation <Virtual Axis Interpolation> (G07)

By performing interpolation without moving one axis within a circular arc plane (hypothetical axis) in a helical cutting command, sine curvilinear interpolation is performed between the remaining two axes.

2-7 Helical Cutting (G02,G03)

Another axis is linearly interpolated synchronously with circular interpolation.

2-8 Polar Coordinate Interpolation (G120,G121)

A command programmed in the orthogonal coordinate system is converted into a linear axis move (tool) and rotary axis move (work rotation) to control a profile.

2-9 Cylindrical Interpolation (G271)

If a linear axis stroke and rotary axis angle are specified by a program command, the rotary axis stroke internally specified in terms of angle is converted into a distance on the circumference. As the distance on the circumference can be regarded a linear axis stroke on the circumference, linear interpolation and cirfular interpolation can be performed in combination with other linear axis.

3. THREAD CUTTING

4. FEED FUNCTIONS

4-1 Rapid traverse Rate and Rapid Traverse Override

The speed in the axial direction is allowed up to 240,000 mm/min (IS-B). An override can be applied to a rapid traverse rate by rapid traverse override.

4-2 Cutting Feed Rate and Feed Rate Override

A feed rate is allowed from 6 to 240,000 mm/min (IS-B). Feed rate override allows you to apply an override in an increment of 10% from 0% to 200%. Table 4-2 shows the feed rate command value range.

Table 4-2

Type F-command Range

Feed per minute(G94)

Feed per revolution (G95)

Threading (G33)

(Note 1) The type can be selected with a parameter. (Note 2) The cutting feed rate is a command given relative to the reference axis. (Note 3) The maximum cutting feed rate is limited by the cutting feed clamp rate set with a

parameter.

(Note 4) When an F1-digit feed option is added, F1-F9 have special meanings.

1 Feed per minute of 1mm for F62.

4-3 Override Cancel

A cutting feed override rate can be fixed at 100% by a signal from the machine.

4-4 Automatic Acceleration/Deceleration

Linear acceleration/deceleration is performed in case of rapid traverse, and exponential function type acceleration/deceleration is performed in case of cutting feed or jog feed.

4-5 Dwell (G04)

Migration to operation in the next program block can be delayed by a specified time by a G04 command. Use P, X, or U for an address.

4-6 Exact Stop Check (G09)

In the block where G09 is specified, an imposition check is made at the end of block execution.

4-7 Exact Stop Check Mode (G61)/Cutting Mode (G64)

Normally, the G64 mode is effected and the program proceeds to the next block immediately after interpolation is completed. If G61 is specified, the program will proceed to the next block after entering imposition at the end point of each block, in the subsequent move commands. The G61 mode is cancelled by specifying G64.

6-2 Machine Coordinate System Selection (G53)

A tool moves to a position in the machine coordinate system by a G53 command.

6-3 Plane Designation (G17, G18, G19)

A G-code is used to specify the plane where you want to perform circular interpolation, tool diameter compensation, and so on. G17: X-Y plane, G18: Z-X plane, G19: Y-Z plane

6-4 Local Coordinate System Selection (G52)

With a G52 command, you can set a child coordinate system, that is, local coordinate system in all the work coordinate systems (G54 to G59).

6-5 Work Coordinate System setting (G54 to G59)

One of the preset coordinate systems is selected by a G-code, G54 through G59. The subsequent program is executed in that selected coordinate system. The number of additional pairs is 60.

2 - 7

7. COORDINATES AND DIMENSIONS

7-1 Absolute/Incremental Programming

Absolute/incremental programming is switched by a G-code.

G90 : Absolute programming G91 : Incremental programming

7-2 Decimal Point Input

A decimal point can be input to the command data associated with a distance (angle), speed, and dwell. A decimal point position is after the millimetric or inch units digit. Decimal point usable addresses include X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V, W, I, J, K, R, P, and F. When P is a subprogram number, however, the decimal point is not available.

7-3 Inch/Metric Conversion (G20, G21)

You can select the inch system/metric system as units of input by specifying G20/G21.

8. SPINDLE FUNCTIONS

2 - 12

13. TOOL OFFSET FUNCTIONS

13-1 Tool diameter Compensation (G40 to G42)

A tool diameter can be compensated by specifying a G-code command, G40 through G42. An offset number can be set by a D-code, set by the lower 4 digits of a T-code, or selected, depending on parameter setting.

13-2 Tool Length Compensation (G43, G44, G49)

A tool position can be offset (tool length compensation) by a G43/G44 command. An offset number can be set by an H-code, set by the lower 4 digits of a T-code, or selected, depending on parameter setting.

13-3 Tool Offset (G45 to G48)

A tool position can be offset by specifying a G-code command, G45 through G48. The tool position is extended or contracted to a move command in the axial direction by the offset amount specified by a D-code or H-code.

13-4 Three Dimensional Tool Offset (G40, G41)

When machining a three dimensional curved surface, the offset amount set in the tool offset memory is offset three dimensionally by specifying an offset component in the three dimensional direction.

14. ACCURACY COMPENSATING FUNCTIONS

14-1 Backlash Compensation

16-2 Work Setter (Datum Level, Master Hole)

This function is to write a work coordinate system shift amount automatically by simple manual operation, using a touch sensor.

16-3 Tool Setter (Tool Length, Tool Diameter)

This function is to write a tool offset amount automatically by simple manual operation, using the touch sensor.

16-4 Safety Guard

A machining tool length is measured by starting the program for the first time. When it is started for the second time, a workpiece at an actual machining position is measured by the measuring device attached to the spindle. Putting these two information and the offset amount used together, a workpiece-tool interference is checked for by an approach command (G00).

17. CUSTOM MACRO

17-1 Custom Macro

A function peculiar to the user can be created. There are 100 common variables, but their number can be optionally extended up to 600.

18. AXIS CONTROL

18-1 Follow-up Function

In case of emergency stop or servo alarm, a machine travel amount is reflected on an NC unit internal position. For this reason, automatic operation is enabled after resetting the emergency stop or servo alarm, even if you do not have to perform zero point return. In case of speed feedback or position feedback alarm, however, an actual machine position and the NC unit internal position do not match, because the follow-up function does not work properly.

2 - 14

18-2 Mirror Image

This function can reverse the sign of the travel direction specified by a program command or MDI command for the X-, Y-, Z-axis, or an additional axis. Make this setting in the setting screen.

18-3 Oscillation Function

This function is to reciprocate a positioning axis, which is not used for cutting a machining profile, over a width asynchronous with a cutting plane axis.

19. MANUAL OPERATION

19-1 Manual Continuous Feed

) Jog feed

A jog feed rate is the speed set in a parameter applied an override of 0 to 655.34% in an increment of 0.01%.

* Manual rapid traverse

Manual rapid traverse is also allowed. An override is applied to the rapid traverse rate set as a parameter.

19-2 Manual Pulse Generator

The machine is capable of fine feed by means of the pulse generator on the machine operation panel. One rotation of the pulse generator generates 100 pulses. You can select a scale factor of x1, x10, or xM (M=1 to 1,000 set in a parameter) by a signal from the machine.

20. AUTOMATIC OPERATION

20-1 DNC Operation

DNC operation can be performed from the host CPU equipped with an RS-232C interface.

20-4 Restart of Program

To restart a program, there are three ways; program restart, block restart, and machining break point return.

) Program restart is a function to restart from the block of a specified sequence number. * Block restart is a function to restart from the beginning of or halfway the block. + Machining break point return is a function to position a tool to a break point by jog feed.

2 - 15

20-5 Sequence Number Comparison and Stop

If you encounter the block of a preset sequence number during program execution, the machine stops after executing that block.

20-6 Preread Buffer

In order to avoid discontinuation of the program blocks at the time of cutting due to the processing time of the NC unit, the preread buffer generally prereads one program block in case of automatic operation. (1) The preread buffer prereads the different number of program blocks, depending on the

function.

Function No. of Preread Blocks

Multibuffer 14 blocks High-accuracy profile control Up to G05 P0 block Tool diameter compensation 2 to 4 blocks Others 0 or 1 block

(Note 1) In the tool diameter compensation mode, the preread buffer prereads up to 4 blocks

if they contain the blocks free from an axis move command.

(Note 2) The following commands suppress the preread buffer.

Example: G28, G30, G31, G53, G05, G10, G20, G21, G22, G23, M00, M01

(2) When the SINGLE BLOCK switch is turned on

When the SINGLE BLOCK switch is turned on and the program blocks are executed sequentially by pressing the CYCLE START switch, the preread buffer does not exist. Because, when the CYCLE START switch is pressed, one program block is taken into the preread buffer and executed immediately. Therefore, the preread buffer does not exist during and after execution.

(Note 1) The preread buffer prereads the program blocks in the following modes.

(1) Tool diameter compensation mode (G41, G42) (2) When optional angle chamfering corner R is specified (, C, R) (3) Thread cutting (G33) (4) Tapping mode (G63) (5) High-accuracy profile control (G05 P10000)

(Note 2) When the SINGLE BLOCK switch is turned from OFF to ON during automatic

operation to stop it, the preread buffer exists.

20-7 Feedhold

All axes can be stopped temporarily. Pressing the CYCLE START button restarts feeding the axes. Prior to restarting axis feed, you can allow intervention by manual operation in the manual mode.

2 - 16

20-8 External Reset and Reset Signal

The NC unit can be reset from the outside. A reset cancels all the commands and decelerates the machine to a stop. A reset signal is output to the machine while the RESET button of the MDI & CRT panel is being pressed, the machine is being reset by an external reset signal, or the EMERGENCY STOP button is being pressed.

20-9 Override Memory and Automatic Override

When performing trial cutting, an overrides (feed override/spindle override) according to the machining conditions is memorized for each tool. At the time of machining, the abovementioned memorized override is reflected automatically, not the override rate selected at the operation panel.

20-10 Data Server

A large-capacity program can be processed at a high speed by means of the Ethernet controller and the hard disk of the auxiliary storage unit. (For details, see SEIKI-SEICOS Σ DATA SERVER INSTRUCTION MANUAL, FTP TYPE)

21. PROGRAM TEST FUNCTIONS

21-1 Machine Lock

In the machine lock mode, the machine does not move, but the position display is updated as if the machine were moving. Z-axis command cancel becomes equivalent to when a machine lock is applied only to the Z-axis. This is effective when checking the contents of the machining data by pen-writing. When the machine lock is turned ON→OFF in auto operation, Machine is shifted by the amount moved by the machine lock.

21-2 Dry Run

If the DRY RUN switch is turned on, the machine operates at a jog feed rate instead of a programmed cutting feed rate. This function can be also enabled in case of rapid traverse by parameter setting.

21-3 Single Block

Program commands can be executed block by block.

21-4 Pre-Machining Plotting

In pre-machining plotting, as machine performs synchronous plotting while in auto running in machine lock and dry run state, format failures and erroneous coordinate commands, if any, in a program can be easily detected. When, on start of pre-machining plotting, an interlock signal, etc. to stop interpolation has been made effective, pre-machining plotting is stopped with the corresponding command.

25. DATA INPUT AND OUTPUT

25-1 Input/Output Interface (RS-232C)

This function allows you to output the programs, tool offset amounts, parameters, etc. memorized in the memory to an external device, and input the data from the external device. A device equipped with the RS-232C interface is available as an external device.

2 - 18

26. SAFETY FUNCTIONS

26-1 Emergency Stop

An emergency stop cancels all the commands and stops the machine instantaneously.

26-2 Overtravel

When the machine reaches a stroke end, a relevant signal is received, the axes are stopped instantaneously, and an overtravel alarm is indicated.

26-3 Interlock

When an interlock is applied to any one of the operating axes, all the axes are decelerated to a stop. When an interlock signal is reset, they are accelerated to restart operation.

26-4 Stored Stroke Limit 1

Stored stroke limit 1 assumes the outside of the area set by a parameter to be a prohibited area.

26-5 Stored Stroke Limit 2 and 3 (G22, G23)

Use this function when you want to ensure that a tool will not enter a non-cutting area. Both stored stroke limit 2 and 3 assumes either inside or outside of the set area to be a prohibited area, based on parameter setting. This function is enabled or disabled by a G-code command.

G22 : Enabled G23 : Disabled

26-6 Stroke Check Before Move

This function checks whether or not specified end point coordinates enter a stored stroke limit area before a move command in the program block.

27. STATUS OUTPUT

27-1 NC Ready Signal

When the NC unit is turned on and becomes ready to control, this signal is output to the machine, and when the NC unit is turned off, a signal output to the machine is called off.

27-2 Automatic Operation Running Signal

This is a signal to be output while automatic operation is under way.

27-3 Automatic Operation Stopping Signal

This is a signal to be output while the program is stopping due to feedhold.

28. EXTERNAL DATA INPUT

28-1 External Data Input

The data are sent from a machine’s external device to the NC unit to carry out required operation.

) External O- or N-number search * External tool offset data read

29. HIGH-SPEED CUTTING

29-1 High-accuracy Profile Control

Machining errors due to the CNC includes the one resulting from acceleration/deceleration after interpolation. In order to eliminate this error, the following functions are realized at a high speed by the RISC processor. (1) Acceleration/deceleration function before multiblock preread interpolation which does not

cause any machining errors due to acceleration/deceleration.

(2) Automatic speed control function which can realize smooth acceleration/deceleration

considering a change of profile and speed, and allowable acceleration of the machine by prereading multiple blocks.

The machine moves at the rapid traverse rate toward the reference point for each axis.

(4) When the machine returns to the reference point, the reference point return lamp gets

illuminated.

(Note 1) Once reference point return is completed and the reference point return lamp gets

illuminated, manual reference point return operation cannot be performed again until the reference point return lamp is turned off.

(Note 2) The reference point return lamp goes off in the following cases.

(1) When the machine moved from the reference point (2) When an emergency stop resulted and the machine moved

(Note 3) When performing low-speed manual reference point return, do so from the position a

little distant from the reference point.

3 - 4

1-3 Rapid Traverse

The machine can be moved continuously at a rapid traverse rate by manual operation. (1) Select the mode selector switch “JOG”.

JOG

(2) Select the rapid traverse override.

(3) Select the axis you want to move, and “RAPID” at the same time. The machine moves in

the direction of the selected axis at the rapid traverse rate.

1-4 Manual Handle Feed

The machine can be finely fed by turning the manual pulse generator. (1) Select the mode selector switch “HANDLE”.

HANDLE

(2) Select the handle axis.

(3) Select a handle magnification.

1/1 10/1 100/1

Y Z

3 - 5

(4) Turn the handle.

Right turn: + direction Left turn: - direction

(Note 1) Do not turn the manual pulse generator so quickly. If so done, the machine may not stop

immediately after turning the handle, or the scale and the travel amount may not coincide with each other.

(Note 2) If the magnification “x 100” is selected and the handle is turned very quickly, the machine

moves at a rate close to the rapid traverse rate. If you then stop the machine suddenly, it may be shocked.

(Note 3) In some cases, the mode select switch (1) is not provided with “handle”, where Handle

mode is selected through (2) handle axis selection.

1-5 Manual Handle Interrupt (Optional)

This function serves to move an axis by combining a manual handle feed shift command with a shift command in auto running. With this, you can shift the tool path by an amount equal to the travel amount created by handle operation.

(1) Turn ON handle interrupt. (2) Select a handle axis. (3) Select a handle magnification. (4) With the handle turned, travel amount by the handle is placed upon the travel amount by

auto running, moving the axis. The travel amount by the handle is displayed in the manual interrupt position.

(5) Turn OFF handle interrupt. (Note 1) The travel amount by handle interrupt is determined by the amount of turning of the

manual pulse generator and the handle feed magnification (x1, x10, xn), to which, however, no acceleration/deceleration is applied. Therefore, handle interrupt, if effectuated with a large magnification, can be extremely dangerous. Avoid selecting a large magnification.

Travel amount per scale for x1, regardless of input unit, is 0.001mm (for IS-B). (Note 2) No handle interrupt can function while in machine lock or in interlock. (Note 3) Relations between shifting by handle interrupt and various position indications are as

follows:

Work coordinate value : No change

Relative coordinate value : No change

Machine coordinate value : Interrupt amount alone is changed.

2-6 Override

For details related to the override function, refer to the instruction manual for the machine. (1) Feed rate override

With the switch on the machine operation panel, an override of 0% to 254% (in an increment of 1%) can be applied to feed per minute (G94) and feed per revolution (G95).

(2) Rapid traverse override

The override selected with the switch on the machine operation panel can be applied to the rapid traverse rate.

(3) Feed rate override cancel

With a signal from the machine side, the feed rate override can be fixed at 100%.

2-7 Pre-Program Machining Time display Function (Optional)

If it is executed to run the program, the program’s machining time is displayed on the machining time display screen. It is possible to display up to 10 main program numbers and the machining time. If more than 10 programs are run, programs are discarded the oldest one first. The machining time of the same program number is updated, however. The time from start in the reset status to the next reset status being assumed is counted in the memory run mode. The “reset status” as referred to here is the status reset by the reset key, the external reset signal, M02, M30, etc. Only the time of automatic run being activated is counted, so the stopped or single block stop time is not added.

machining time of the same program number is updated, however.

2-8 Tape Operation (Simple DNC Operation)

This function allows you to directly operate the machine with a program from the paper tape or external device, without using the internal memory of the NC unit. From the tape operation program, you can also call a subprogram saved in the NC unit internal memory. (Note) At the time of tape operation, be sure to disable DNC operation.

2.10 Submemory

(Unavailable for

ΣΣ

Σ10)

ΣΣ

2.10.1 Outline

The submemory is a feature to increase the capacity of the program memory by using a storage medium newly added into the NC unit(normally an ATA flash card memory. The ATA flash card is called the submemory and the conventional memory(battery backup RAM) the main memory, respectively. Up to 10 directories can be created in the submemory and one of them is selected for operation as required.

*1 When a hard disk data server is attached, the submemory also uses a hard disk.

(1) Program storage length

You can select 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, or 10,000 m on the part of the submemory. The total program storage length equals this length plus the capacity of the main memory.

(Example) When the main memory is 80 m long and the submemory 2,000 m long,

respectively, the total program storage length is 2,080 m long.

(2) Number of programs

Up to 1,000 programs held in one directory plus the main memory Up to 2,000 programs held in all the directories in the submemory (Example 1) When no directories are created in the submemory;

The maximum number of programs is 1,000.

(Example 2) When the directories D1 and D2 are created in the submemory;

The following three conditions must be all satisfied:

• Number of programs in the main memory + Number of programs in D1 1,000

• Number of programs in the main memory + Number of programs in D2 1,000

• Number of programs in D1 + Number of programs in D2 2,000

(3) Directories in the submemory

Up to 10 directories can be created in the submemory. (When the directories are not created at all, only one basic directory is to be used.) Program operation and program editing apply to the programs in the main memory and those in the directory currently selected(to be referred to as a current directory hereinafter) in the submemory. The programs in the non-current directories in the submemory can be neither run nor edited. The current directory is treated fully differently from the others in the submemory. You may create the program with the same program number in a different directory. (Example 1) When no directories are created in the submemory;

All the programs are to be run/edited.

(Example 2) When the directories D1 and D2 are created in the submemory;

• When the current directory is D1; → The programs in the main memory + D1 are to be run/edited.

• When the current directory is D2; → The programs in the main memory + D2 are to be run/edited.

) as the program

3 - 15

To create, alter, or delete the directories in the submemory, use the Directory Setting screen. → See “2.10.4 Submemory Directory Operation”

(4) Using the main memory and submemory properly

Whether the program is to be stored in the main memory or sumemory depends on its program number. Use a parameter to set which range of program numbers are to be assigned to the main memory side. Typical setting assigns O8000 to O9999 to the main memory and the rest to the submemory. This is to treat the programs O8000 to O9999 as the subprograms which can be commonly used for any directory in the submemory. Thus, the macro programs provided by the machine manufacturer are made available no matter which directory in the submemory is selected.

(5) When the programs in the submemory are not available

The programs in the submemory are not available on the part of the lathe related NC unit’s 2nd system(loader control), simple 2nd system(feeder control), and loader control only machine(R21 version). Use and run only the programs in the main memory.

2.10.2 Program Editing

The program editing functions(back editing, extended editing, etc.) are available for both main memory and submemory the same as before. Since the submemory uses the ATA flash card as a storage medium as described above, editing should be operated file by file like editing the files in the hard disk through a personal computer. As a result, you have to read the file before editing operation and save it after editing operation, causing entire editing operation to take more time than direct editing(directly altering part of the file) of the RAM-based main memory. When editing the program on the part of the submemory, save it at the time of the following:

• When the screen is switched.

• When the mode is changed.

• When other program is called.

• When the machine is reset despite the STANDBY switch has been turned on.

(Note) If the power is turned on without saving the program after editing it, you will be returned

to the conditions existing before editing when the power is turned on again. If the power is turned off while saving the program, it may be corrupted. If the program has any errors, initialize the program memory.

2.10.3 Program Operation

The programs in the main memory and the current directory in the submemory can be run the same as before. For the programs in the submemory, however, there are the following restrictions to the number of programs which can be run simultaneously.

• When the data server is attached: Up to 5 programs

• When the data server is not attached: Up to 4 programs (Additional one program for the

data server)

3 - 16

Specifically, multiplicity of subprogram(macro program) call to the programs in the submemory is limited by the above-mentioned numbers. There are no restrictions to the programs in the main memory. The following describes this, using a specific example. The program on the part of the main memory is represented by Mn, that on the part of the submemory by Sn(n = 1, 2, 3, ...), and program call by →, respectively.

(Example 1) For the conventional specifications(without the submemory)

The following is allowed: M1 → M2 → M3 → M4 → M5 → M6 → M7 → M8 → M9.

(Example 2) When the submemory is provided, but not data server; In the following state;

S1 → M1 → S2 → S3 → S4 → S5 Since five programs are used on the part of the submemory, it is possible to call only the main memory program after S5. S1 → M1 → S2 → S3 → S4 → S5 → M2 Allowed S1 → M1 → S2 → S3 → S4 → S5 → S6 Disallowed

(Example 3) When both submemory and data server are provided; In the following state;

M1 → S1 → S2 → S3 → S4 Since four programs are used on the part of the submemory, it is possible to call the main memory program or data server program after S4. M1 → S1 → S2 → S3 → S4 → M2 Allowed M1 → S1 → S2 → S3 → S4 → Data server Allowed M1 → S1 → S2 → S3 → S4 → S5 Disallowed

(Note) It is possible to cancel by parameter setting the above-mentioned “uniform restriction on

the number of programs on the part of the submemory, which can be simultaneously run.” Whether this cancellation of restriction allows a program call beyond the limit, however, depends on the then running submemory program(generally program length). This is briefly described below. On the part of the submemory, up to five program read ports(called the channels) are available for operation. One channel is required to read one program; up to 5 programs can be run simultaneously. Upon calling the program, however, if the program to be called has been read into the NC unit(about 10 m worth of read buffer) to the end, that channel can be closed and used to run other program.

Whether the program to be called can be read into the NC unit to the end upon calling it depends on he conditions such as the run time from the beginning to a call command, program length from the call command to the end, and so on. Basically, the number of simultaneously run submemory programs should be used within the above-mentioned limit.

3 - 17

2.10.4 Submemory Directory Operation

The program number can be used up to 8 digits, but you may want to use the same O-number to perform different machining in many cases. In such cases, it is very troublesome to replace the O-numbers included in the NC unit by means of input/output. To avoid this trouble, the programs can be easily replaced by preparing several O-number storage areas(directories) and altering them. This is called directory setting. Submemory directory operation(creation, alteration, deletion) is performed in the Directory Setting screen. The Directory Setting screen is displayed by operating the following keys in the Overall screen.

F2/PROGRAM → F7/PROGRAM LIST → F4/DIR SET

This screen allows you to view the directory names and the program numbers registered in the respective directories. It also allows you to create new directories and delete unnecessary ones. (Note) Directory related operation takes several to scores of seconds depending on the number

of registered programs.

(1) Creating the directory

The following describes the procedure to create a directory. ① Input the up to 8-character name of the new directory you want to create into the key

input area.

② Press F1/MAKE . ③ You are prompted, “O.K. ? Y-YES N-NO.” ④ Press Y to create or N to cancel.

3 - 18

(Note 1) In creating the directory, you simply name a storage area, but not change it.

When using the created directory, execute the setting. (Note 2) Up to ten directories are allowed. (Note 3) The directory name is up to 8 characters. (Note 4) Another directory cannot be created under one directory. (Note 5) It is not allowed to give the directory name consisting of only numbers such as 1,

2, 3, 4.Its initial character must be an alphabet such as A1234. No decimal

point(.) is available.

(2) Deleting the directory

The following describes the procedure to delete an unnecessary directory and the rograms contained in it.

① Move the cursor to the directory you want to delete. ②

Press F2/DELETE .

③ You are prompted, “DO YOU WANT TO DELETE ? Y-YES N-NO.” ④ Press Y to delete or N to cancel.

If the directory being set is deleted, USER will be automatically set. (Note 1) The deleted program or directory cannot be restored. (Note 2) The USER directory is indispensable and cannot be deleted.

(3) Setting the directory

The following describes the procedure to alter the directory. ① Move the cursor to the directory you want to set.

Press INPUT .

② ③ You are asked, “O.K. ? Y-YES N-NO.” ④ Press Y to set or N to cancel. ⑤ After the procedure is finished, you will be returned to the Programs List screen.

5-7 Setting the Tool Setter

(1) Return the basic 3 axes to their reference points manually. Mount the reference block or

touch sensor on the table.

(2) In the manual mode, turn on the Tool Setter. → The Tool (Offset) screen (Fig. 7-1) is

selected automatically.

(3) Set the distance from the origin to the reference block in the parameters (no.6249 to

no.6251). When this value is a fixed one, this step is not required. When a reference gauge position is indefinite, it is necessary to set a correct value as follows. Press [F2/REF.GAUGE]. The parameters (no.6249 to no.6251) are displayed on the lower right of the screen. Bring the touch probe into contact with the reference gauge. The distance from the origin to the reference block is set in the parameters (no.6249 to no.6251) by the same calculation as that for the work setter (datum level). The safety guard parameters (no.6258 and no.6259) are also set simultaneously by measurement from the Z-axis direction. Be sure to press [F2/REF. GAUGE] to return to the original screen.

(4) With the page key and cursor move key, select the offset number you want to set. (5) Bring the tool into contact with the reference gauge by jog feed operation. →The NC unit

automatically discriminates the axis, for which a touch sensor signal was turned on, and writes the tool offset amount automatically.

Main/sub axis ...........The tool diameter is calculated and the tool profile offset amount for

diameter compensation is rewritten.

3rd axis ....................The tool length is calculated and the tool profile offset amount for

length compensation is rewritten.

At this time, the corresponding tool wear offset amount is cleared to 0.

(6) After all the necessary tool offset amounts are set, turn off the Tool Setter.

3 - 28

Fig. 7-1 Toll (Offset)

(Note 1) In writing the tool diameter, if you make measurement several times with the identical

offset number set, the offset amount is updated only when a measured result is larger than the previous one. However, if the offset number is respecified or after the TOOL SETTER button is repressed, the first measured result is written as the offset amount.

(Note 2) The reference gauge refers to the contact surface of the reference block. When using

the on-table touch sensor other than the reference block, its contact surface is referred to.

(Note 3) The touch probe data used for measurement should be set in the parameters (N.6252-

6255) in advance. To set it, there are two methods available; is to write with the parameters, and the other is to write through the Tool (Offset) screen. To use the latter method, press the function keys F8:SENSOR SET. The multi-window Setting screen (Fig. 7-2) appears and allows you to set the data.

3 - 29

Fig. 7-2 Sensor Setting

The distance to the reference gauge can be measured, using the tool whose dimension is already known (called the reference tool) instead of the touch probe. In this case, set the parameters (N.6242, 5bit) to “1”, and the dimension of the reference tool in the parameters (N.6260-6263) in advance.

5-7-1 Tool Length Measurement Mode, Tool Diameter Measurement Mode

When the bit 4 of the parameter N.6242 is set to 1, the tool length/tool diameter measurement mode is enabled. When this is done, the alarm No.716 results if a tool diameter is measured in the tool length measurement mode, or if a tool length is measured in the tool diameter measurement mode, or if measurement is done in other than the Tool (Offset) screen, thus enabling you to prevent an offset setting miss due to erroneous contact.

5-9 Others

(1) The work setter and tool setter are enabled in the manual mode. (2) If a touch sensor signal is turned on while operating the work setter or tool setter, the axis is

allowed to move only in the direction opposite to the direction in which the signal was turned on. The other axial moves are prohibited.

(3) If the touch sensor signal is turned on, the buzzer starts sounding.

If continues to sound until the axis has moved by a parameter (N.6256)-set amount in the direction opposite to the direction in which the then move axis was turned on. Even if the touch sensor is turned on while the buzzer is sounding, the work zero point offset amount and tool offset amount are not rewritten.

(4) Automatic rewriting of the work setter and tool setter are directed to the work zero point

offset amount or tool offset amount indicated by the cursor when the touch sensor signal was turned on. Even if the screen other than the Work Coordinate (Offset) screen and Tool (Offset) screen is displayed, the last place indicated by the cursor is stored.

(5) Note that it sometimes becomes impossible to relieve the axis (impossible to move the

axis) after touching if the sensor is made to touch by the following methods when measuring using the handle.

1 Touch while turning the handle intermittently several memories at a time. 2 Touch while moving the sensor close or far (turning the handle alternately in the “+”

and “-” directions).

3 Touch at a very low speed.

If this trouble has occurred, relieve the axis after pressing “reset” and then re-measure.

(6) When making hole measurement, touch so that three measuring points will be as far as

possible from each other.

3 - 32

(7) Make measurement near the center of the probe sphere.

(8) When the thermal displacement compensation function and work setter function are jointly

used, note the following. Set the bit 3 of the parameter No.6242 to 1. Prior to measurement, specify the ATC (M06TXX) or thermal displacement compensation data enable M-code.

5-10 5-Face Working Machine’s W Setter

In this item, the vertical machining center’s W setter is denoted as the “vertical W setter” (explained in up to the preceding item) and the 5-face working machine’s W setter as the “5face W setter”. The 5-face W-setter performs measurement of the datum level, master hole, and coordinate modification, with the spindle attached vertically or horizontally (00, 900, 1800, 2700). (1) Parameters

The parameters added in the 5-face W setter are shown below. No.6307-6318 Side spindle’s original position shifting amount (see 5-11 “Appendix”) No.6242, #7=0 5-face W setter disable (vertical W setter)

(2) Horizontal Spindle

When measuring by setting the spindle in the horizontal direction,the side axis face’s original position shifting amount is to be set in arameter No.6307-6318 (For details, see 511 “Appendix”.)

(3) Reference Plane Measurement

In the reference plane measurement, it is possible to measure 5 faces other than the one in the direct opposite direction as viewed from the touch sensor. (Example) If the touch sensor is facing the X + direction, it is possible to measure from the

5 directions of X± , Y ± and Z ± .

(4) Reference Hole Measurement

In the reference hole measurement, it is possible to measure the hole/boss of the plane which is vertical as viewed from the touch sensor. (Example) If the touch sensor is facing the X + direction, it is possible to measure the hole/

boss of the Y-Z plane.

3 - 33

(5) Coordinate Correction

In the coordinate correction, it is possible to measure the coordinate rotation of the plane which is vertical as viewed from the touch sensor.

(Example) If the touch sensor is facing the X + direction, it is possible to measure the

coordinate rotation of the Y-Z plane.

(6) Tool Setter

The tool setter is available only when the spindle is attached vertical. (The method of use is the same as in the vertical W setter.)

1. Screen Layout and Basic Operation

One screen consists of;

1 Main display area 2 Alarm display area 3 Program No. display area 4 Key input area 5 Error message display area

6 Function menu display area

Fig. 1-1 shows the screen layout.

2 Alarm display area

1 Main display area

4 Key input area 5 Error message display area

6 Function menu display area

3 Program number display area

In the overall screen, the tool data and command data are summarized. On certain screens, windows (small screens) may be overlapped and displayed, when a function menu key is pressed. (As a rule, if the same key is pressed again, the window disappears.) By setting the time to transition to the Good Night screen, the screen can be blanked (darkened) if you do not operate any keys within that time.

3 - 39

1-1 Main Display Area

Although the design differs from one screen to another, the following describes a basic operating method.

↑/↓ (Cursor move keys)

｡

Used to move the cursor up/down by one position. When the cursor is located at the top or bottom of the screen, the screen is scrolled by pressing them. The double-spread page such as parameters is not scrolled. They are also used to perform a search. → / ← (Cursor move keys)

｡

Used to move the cursor to the right/left by one position.

｡

In addition, the following key combinations are available for special operations.

｡

｡ SHIFT +

｡

/ (Page keys)

Used to change pages when one page is not enough to display all. Here, the cursor refers to the character displayed in reverse video. Normally, it is surrounded by a yellow-frame guide line. The guide line is to indicate data connection; some screens do not have this. When the pages are changed, the cursor is moved to the beginning of the page.

SHIFT + ↑ / SHIFT + ↓ Only the screen is scrolled without moving the cursor.

Moves the page and cursor to the beginning of that screen.

Moves the page and cursor to the end of that screen. SHIFT + → + ← Moves the cursor character by character in editing the program. This allows you to edit character by character finely, not word by word.

1-2 Alarm Display Area

When an alarm occurs during execution of the program, a number and a simple message are displayed in one line. When multiple alarms occur simultaneously, only the first one is displayed. When you want to know its details, display the Alarm Diagnosis: screen. When an alarm is displayed in white on the red ground (red blinking), it indicates a serious alarm. In that case, the machine stops and the Alarm Diagnosis screen is forced to apprer. (When you do not want to switching of the screen, set “1” in the bit 1 of the parameter 7000.) When displayed in blue on the yellow ground, it is an alarm to awaken the operator. The machine does not stop and the screen is not switched.

3 - 40

1-3 Program Number Display Area

Displayed in this area are the program number and sequence number being currently executed, and multiplicity and repeat frequency at subprogram call time. The program number is 0 in case of MDI.

Example) O1000 → O2000 → O3000

L = 10 N1234

O3000, N1234 is being executed. O3000 repeats another 10 times. O3000

returns to O2000. O2000 returns to O1000.

1-4 Key Input Area

The entered characters are buffered in here once, and then, input.

Example) P: Absolute value = 1.234 (1.234 is entered) Also, absolute/incremental value programming can be switched over and a number search can be performed by switching over the mode. To switch over the mode, press the following character keys when noting has been buffered.

｡ P (P: Absolute value =)

Absolute value programming. The entered numerical value is input as it is.

｡ I (I: Incremental value =)

Incremental value programming. The entered numerical value is added and input.

｡ N (N: Number =)

Number search. The cursor is moved to the entered number. However, the cursor key is used for execution (not the INPUT key).

｡ J, K (J: X-axis rotation =) (K: Y-axis rotation =)

Used only on the Work Coordinate (Offset) screen. Input is done with the rotation angle R

taken into account. In addition, the following functions are provided for input. ｡ CAN

Deletes the character one before the cursor in the key input area. ｡ SHIFT + CAN

Deletes the entire key input area.

1-5 Error Message

Different from the alarm, a message is displayed which notifies you of an operational mistake, etc.

1-6 Function Menu

On the overall screen, a function key normally selects the screen written on the key. On the other screens, a (light) blue menu appears in the lower part of the screen in various manners according to the screen, so refer to the item of each screen.

｡

OPER/MAINTE key

Pressing this key displays a green (black) menu. Using the functions in this menu, you can

select some screens. Assuming the screen with the function keys is the operation side,

this menu is the maintenance side, hence called the maintenance menu.

In normal state, synchronous plotting is in display. When performing pre-machining plotting, therefore, press F9/PREVIEW to display the function key for pre-machining plotting. (Fig. 7-1) Next, push F3/PREVIEW START key to start pre-machining plotting. With F2/AUTO RANGE key pushed, auto range plotting starts. When plotting range has been set so that a cutting locus falls within the screen scope on completion of plotting, pre-machining starts automatically. (Note 1) In order to start pre-machining plotting, first perform zero point return to initialize other

states of Machine such as mechanical clamp. (Note 2) When locus image is obscure in display, lower speed with the feed speed switch. (Note 3) Those functions whose conditions change by machine operation (M60 cycle, macro

program using skip function, oscillation function) cannot be executed in pre-machining

plotting. (Note 4) When the add axis gets as follows, either stopping or alarming takes place where pre-

machining plotting cannot be executed.

・While interlocking of each axis is held ON, stopping takes place with the add axis

command.

・On removal of axes, alarm for “Zero Return Not Completed” takes place with the added

axis command.
