1-1 Items requiring attention when reading this manual.

∑10L/16T/18T/21L program part” and for

∑10/16/18/21 maintenance part”

(1) In this manual and the reference manual “program part”, explanations are made on all the

functions that are applicable to these NC machines, including optional functions. The option function selected for adoption are different for each machine. Please confirm the specification of the machine beforehand, as there may be some functions referred to in the manual are not usable depending on the machine.

(2) In this manual, those functions not specifically remarked “able” should be understood as

“unable”.

(3) The contents of this manual may be changed without notice to meet a future machine

improvement.

Note) Programs, parameters, macro variables and tool compensation amounts, etc. are stored in

the memory of NC unit. Generally, these dat a are not lost by switching the power ON/ OFF. Nevertheless, data could be lost inadvertently or by erroneous operation. Also a case may occur when you are compelled to have valuable date in the memory cleared for restoring the system from a trouble. To cope with such an unexpected situation, we suggest that you take note of the important data and keep them separately . It facilit ates quick restoration of working condition of the machine by re-entering the data.

Note) When processing a work, do not start the operation suddenly . Make a trial warm-up run

first for fully confirming that the machine acts correctly , then proceed with subsequent operating procedures.

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 ANGLE DESIGNATION LINEAR INTERPORATION (G01)

With G01, an angle from Z axis is specified where linear interpolation is commanded.

2-4 Circular Interpolation (G02, G03)

Circular interpolation can be performed arbitrarily at 0 to 360° at the feed rate specified by an Fcode 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)

Not available with

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......Not available with

Another axis is linearly interpolated synchronously with circular interpolation.

2-8 Polar Coordinate Interpolation

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

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 circular interpolation can be performed in combination with other linear axis.

3. THREADING

3-1 THREADING (G32)

With F or E code, a thread lead is directly commanded. With E code, you can assign the number of thread ridges per inch can be assigned by a parameter .

3-2 MULTIPLE THREADIGN (G32)

Use this to perform multiple thread cutting which has two or more thread ridges in a lead. With Address Q, command a threading start shift angle. be performed.

3-3 VARIABLE LEAD THREADING

By commanding the increase or decrease amount in lead per one screw thread turning, you can perform variable lead threading. With Address K, command a lead changing amount.

4. FEED FUNCTION

4-1 RAPID TRAVERSE RATE AND RAPID OVERRIDE

The maximum speed available in the axial direction is 240,000mm/min (IS-B). Further, override can be applied to rapid traverse by rapid override.

4-2 CUTTING FEED RATE AND FEED OVERRIDE

The maximum feed rate range available for setting is 6~240,000mm/min (IS-B). Override can be applied, by feed rate override, within a range of 0~200% by every 10%.

Table 4-2 shows the ranges of feed rate command values:

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 command. The G61 mode is cancelled by specifying G64.

4-8 Automatic Corner Override (G62)...... Not available with

An override is applied automatically to a cutting feed rate at a corner during tool diameter compensation.

2 - 10

13. TOOL OFFSET FUNCTIONS

13-1 Automatic Tip R Compensation and Cutter Compensation

(1) Automatic Nose R Compensation (G143)

It is normally held at G143 (Automatic Nose R Compensation Valid Mode). Therefore, without G code not being commanded, tip R compensation is automatically executed. Nose R is set to tool compensation R and virtual nose points (1~8) to T.

(2) Cutter Compensation (G145 : G40~G42)

With G145 command, Cutter Compensation mode is created. With G40~G42 commands while in this mode, cutter compensation can be carried out. A tool diameter is set to tool compensation R and a virtual nose point (9) to T.

13-2 Groove Width Compensation (G150 to G152)

When a grooving tool is used, one virtual tool nose (for example, 3) is used to run the program to apply compensation. It is also necessary to compensate the other virtual tool nose (for example, 4) side. When this is done, this function compensates the groove width by specifying a G-code.

13-3 Addition of T ool Offset s

The number of tool offset pairs can be expanded up to 200. Expansion of tool offset pairs: 64/99/200 (Up to 99 pairs for the Note) The number of tool offset pairs, 200, is only allowed when the ATC is attached.

19-6 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.

2 - 13

(1) The preread buffer prereads the different number of program blocks, depending on the

function.

Function No. of pre-reading blocks Automatic tip R compensation 4 blocks Multi buffer 12 blocks 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,

G10, G20, G21, M00, M01, M02, M30 T Command

Note 3) As the automatic tip R compensation is normally held valid (G143 mode), pre-reading of

4 blocks is carried out.

(2) When the SINGLE BLOCK switch is turned on

(State in which automatic tip R compensation is held invalid : G140, G145 mode) 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) Pre-reading is performed when any of the following applies:

(a) In Multi Buffer mode (G251) (b) Tool radius compensation mode (G41, G42) (c) When optional angle chamfering corner R is specified (, C/, R) (d) Thread cutting (G32) (e) T apping mode (G63)

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

to stop it, the preread buffer exists.

If you run more than 10 programs, the oldest programs will be discarded sequentially . However, the machining time of the same program number will be updated. The time from the start of reset condition to the next reset condition in the memory operation mode will be counted. The reset condition at this stage is the condition obtained by pressing the reset key , external reset signal, M02, M30, etc. The time counted will be only the time automatic operation is executed, therefore, the machining time will not be counted during hold and during single block stoppage.

Calculation and display of machining time

1 Select the automatic (memory) operation mode and press the reset key. 2 Select the overall (program) screen and search for the program that calculates the

machining time. 3 Run the program and execute machining. 4 If the reset key is pressed or M02, M30 is executed, the count for machining time will be

terminated. 5 Select the program screen, press F7/Program list and then press F5/Machinig time. The

machining time screen will be displayed. 6 If you repeat the procedures from 1 to 5 the program number and time will be sequentially

displayed on the machining time screen.

3 - 9

The maximum number of programs for which the machining time can be displayed is 10. If the number of programs exceeds 10, the oldest programs will be discarded sequentially. However, the machining time of the same program number will be updated.

2-8 Tape Operation (Simple DNC Operation)

The machine is directly operated by the 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 stored in the internal memory of the NC unit. Note) Be sure to diable DNC operation during tape operation.

1 Select an input device and baud rate in the I/O screen.

(When using the RS-232C of the operation panel, select the RS-232C.) 2 Select the mode selector switch, TAPE. 3 Make setting on the part of the input device to make the system ready.

(Set the paper tape when the reader is used, and make the connected device ready for output

when the RS-232C is used. 4 Press the PROGRAM START button.

→ This reads one block worth of the program from the external device and start tape

operation.

Note) Since an internal processing buffer is provided, the buffer worth of the data are pre-read.

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 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.

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

) as the program memory.

3 - 14

(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 - 15

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 - 16

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 - 17

(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,

5. Quick Tool Setter (Q Setter)

5-1 Outline

A tool offset amount can be automatically written by simply bringing the tool nose into contact with the touch sensor manually .

5-2 Operation Method

(1) Set the quick tool setter.

(a) Set the tool setter . (Fig. 5-2) (b) Select the MANUAL mode. (c) A screen display is automatically switched to the Tool (Offset) screen; “Q SETTER” is

displayed to inform you that the system is ready. (Fig. 5-1) When initial reference point

return has not been completed, setting the tool setter results in an alarm. (2) Call the tool for which you want tool offset. (3) Select and confirm the tool offset number.

The tool offset number is consistent with the called tool number, and the cursor moves automatically. When the cursor is moved with the key, the cursor-indicated tool offset number is selected.

(4) Bring the tool nose closer to the tool setter.

(a) When bringing it closer by jog feed, select the JOG mode and presa the X- or Z-axis

direction selector switch.

(b) When bringing it closer by handle feed, select the HANDLE mode, and then, the X or Z

axis. Next, set a handle magnification to 100/1 and turn the handle. (5) Position the tool nose to the center of the sensor by handle feed. (Fig. 5-3) (6) Apply the tool tip to the touch sensor in jog feed.

The jog feed rate is held at the constant rate set with a parameter. Maintain the tool tip in

continuous jog feed by not bringing it close to or keeping it away from the touch sensor.

(7) Bringing the tool nose into contact with the touch sensor inputs a tool offset amount

automatically. When the tool nose comes into contact with the sensor, the axis stops, emitting a “beep” sound. (Fig. 5-4)

(8) Put away the tool nose from the touch sensor by more than a retouch return amount

(parameter), and bring it into contact again. Repeating this, confirm the tool offset amount

shown on the screed. (Fig. 5-5) (9) Put away the tool nose to a safety position from the touch sensor. (Fig. 5-6) (10) Put away the tool nose to the position where the tool can be called. (1 1) Obtain the tool offset amount of the next tool.

Repeating the above steps (2) through (10), obtain the tool offset amount of each tool

sequentially . (12)

5-6 Compensation Input Checking

When rewriting compensation in Q setter and Q setter repeat, you can perform the following checking:

1 When the difference between previous tool compensation volume and measured

compensation volume does not fall within the set range (parameter), an alarm takes place.

The compensation volume, however , is going to be written. Therefore, an alarm takes place,

also, when compensation volume is newly taken in Q setter or when erroneous

compensation volume is taken as proper data.

When this takes place, ignore it.

2 When a tool No. does not correspond to the cursor No., an alarm takes place. The

compensation volume, however, is going to be written. “Enabled/ Disabled” is switched for

both 1 and 2 through parameter setting.

6. Q setter barrier

6-1 Outline

After measuring the tool compensation amount using the quick tool setter function, if the tool is made to escape in the direction of the reference point, it may touch the touch sensor, depending on the tool diameter . For instance, if the tool shape is an shown in Fig. 6-1, after measuring the tool compensation amount by means of the sensor in the X+ direction, if the tool is immediately returned to the reference point from this position, the tool nose may touch the touch sensor. To prevent such occurrences, there is a function that sets up a barrier area near the touch sensor and prohibits motions such as return to the reference point when the nose position has entered this area. Thus, this function prevents damage to the touch sensor.

Fig. 6-1

6-2 Description of the function

(1) When the tool setter arm descends and enters the Q setter mode, the control equipment

checks whether the tool is within the Q setter barrier area by performing the calculations

given below.

X value of machine coordinate system Parameter 6283 (X) +Tool compensation amount X

AND

Z value of machine coordinate system Parameter 6283 (Z) +Tool compensation amount Z

when the above equations are satisfied, the control equipment judges the tool to be within the

barrier area. (Fig. 6-2)

The tool compensation amount is calculated as the sum of the shape of compensation

number currently selected and the wear.

(2) When the tool is in the barrier area, the signal given below is output to the PMC.

PMC address Q setter barrier area in-signal QBRI (RF24, #1) Using this signal, process the reference point return interlock and message display with in the barrier area. Return the arm of the tool setter. When the Q setter mode is terminated, this signal becomes “0” even if the tool is within the barrier area.

7. Q Setter Repeat Function

7-1 Outline

Through a simple operation, you can repeatedly perform measurement on tip changing of a tool which has already been subject to measurement in Q setter.

7-2 Operation

(1) Push F6/Q SETTER REPEAT on Tool (Compensation) page, Window page for Q setter

repeat is displayed. (2) Set Feed mode. (3) Changing a tip, perform indexing of the turret to a measurement position. At this time both

the cursor inside Turret State on the left side of the page and the compensation data at the

top right-hand corner of the page change as linking to the turret face. (4) Bring out the Q setter arm.

Push F4/REPEAT START .

(5)

If the tool has been already subject to measurement in Q setter (with the data already existing

in the measurement position on the page), measurement by Q setter repeat is started. When

the tool touches the sensor, a measured value is written in compensation data. The touch

mark is displayed on the picture indicating a measurement position.

If measurement has not yet been performed in Q setter, alarm takes place.

or “Whole Meas. Spot” and push ENTER . “OK? Y- Yes, N- No” message appears. With Y , the measurement spots are deleted.

7-3 Working

The working patterns, as shown in Fig. 3, can be divided into 8 kinds according to the virtual nose points. When Virtual Point 1, 2, 3, or 4 being assigned, both X and Z axes are subject to measurement. The order for measurement, in that case, is always Z to X axis. When Virtual Point 0, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 being assigned, X or Z axis alone is subject to measurement. In this case, for compensation of the axis not being measured, compensation needs to be input manually beforehand. As for virtual nose points of tools, see Drawing 1.

8. Simple Jaw Edge Forming Function

8-1 Outline

With “Edge shape” “Working Conditions” being input according to the guidance on the page and the start button being pushed, raw edge machining starts.

8-2 Operation

(1) Index the tool used for raw edge forming to the machining position. (2)

Pushing F6/SOFT JAW on the p age of the work coordinate system

(General → F4/WORK COORDINATE ), display Window page for raw edge forming.

(3)

Select either outer jaw or inner jaw forming by using F4/OUTER JAW or F5/INNER JAW . (4) Prepare the section where a core bar is fitted and mount it properly. (5) Input an edge configuration and working conditions. (6) Turning the spindle in Manual mode, shift the tool to the edge position.

With F3/JAW END SURFACE pushed, “Jaw end surface position setting? Y-Yes/N-No” is displayed. With Y , set the jaw end position.

Pushing F9/CUT PATH CHECK in MDI mode, check the locus of a working program. If

(7)

not in MDI mode, “Set MDI mode” message is displayed. While in locus checking, Dry-Run and Machine Lock ON state are held effective. The operation panel lamp s, however, do not lit up. Also, no MST code is output. The coordinate system (tip position) is brought to presetting on completion of locus checking

or by resetting while in checking. (8) Perform zero returning as paying attention not to cause interference. (9) Pushing the start button in MDI mode, execute a working program of raw edge forming.

1. Screen Layout and Basic Operation

One screen fundamentally consists of the following (See Fig. 1-0):

1 Main display area 2 Alarm display area 3 Program No. display area (No. O, No. N) 4 Key input area 5 Error message display area 6 Function menu display area

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

Fig. 1-0 Configuration of basic screen

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.

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.

3 - 50

→ / ← (Cursor move keys) Used to move the cursor to the right/left by one position.

/ 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. In addition, the following key combinations are available for special operations. SHIFT + ↑ / SHIFT + ↓ Only the screen is scrolled without moving the cursor.

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

SHIFT + Moves the page and cursor to the end of that screen. SHIFT + → /SHIFT + ← Moves the cursor character by character in editing the program. This allows you to edit 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. For more details, refer to the alarm diagnostic 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 Maintenance screen is forced to appear. (When you do not want 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.

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 0000 in case of MDI.

Example) O1000 → O2000 → O3000

L = 10 N1234 O3000, N1234 is being executed. O3000 repests another 10 times. O3000 returns to O2000. O2000 returns to O1000.

3 - 51

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 nothing 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). 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. Message are listed.

1-6 Function Menu

On the overall (program) screen, a screen is normally selected by a function key on which the name of the screen is inscribed. On other screens, the lower part of the screen in blue (light color) is the function menu. This menu differs depending on the screen. For details, refer to descriptions of individual screens.

OPER/MAINTE key Pressing this key displays a green (black) menu. The function of this menu allows you to select some screens. Generally , the screen with the function keys is called a operation menu and this one a maintenance menu, respectively .

4. Work Coordinates (Offset)

Pressing the F4 (WORK COORD) key displays the Work Coordinates screen (Fig. 4-0). This screen operation is used to shift the machining origin.

Fig. 4.0 Work Coordinates (Machining Reference Point Shift)

As described in the instruction manual (PROGRAMMING), Section 7-2 “Tool Nose Coordinate System”, the position of the tool nose serves as the reference position of the coordinate system. Shifting of the machining origin, there are three methods – machining reference point shift, machining allowance, and work length. Pressing the F1 key alternately changes the input mode as follows. In each input mode, F1 and the key input area look as follows.

• Removal amount input mode → “COOD.P Z=” F1/ABS. WRITE

↕

• Absolute value input mode → “P: ABS. Z=” F1/COOD.P

Note) When this screen is displayed, the removal amount input mode takes effect.

3 - 64

4-1 Removal Amount

Machining allowance = Length from the chuck jaw face to work end face – work length. First cut the work end face within the limits of cutting allowance, so that the black layer on the end face is removed and escape in the same condition in the direction of the positive X axis. (Do not move the Z axis.) Next, stop the rotation of the spindle. Measure the overall length of the work and find the cutting allowance. Enter this measured value as the machining allowance. (If the cut is excessive, the value becomes negative.)

4-2 Machining Reference Point Shift

The machining reference point is located at a length between the end faces of the chuck jaws (work shift amount) from the machine zero point. Press F1/ABS. WRITE to display “P:ABSOL. VALUE Z=” in the key input area, and press the curs or key ↑ or ↓ to adjust the cursor to the axis you want to change. Then, input a machining reference point shift amount. An X-axis shift amount cannot be changed.

4-3 Work Length

The work length is the length between the end face of the chuck jaw and the machining zero point. Press F1/ABS. WRITE to display “P: ABSOL. VALUE Z =” in the key input area, and press the cursor key ↑ or ↓ to adjust the cursor to Work Length. Then, input the work length.

4-4 External Work Zero Point Offset

When an external work zero point offset value is set, the entire work coordinate system can be shifted by the set value. However, the external work zero point offset is not enabled unless the coordinates are set (Tcommand, manual Turret indexing, etc.). Pressing F4/EXT. OFFSET opens the window shown in the right figure. Select the axis you want to select, and input an offset value. Note) When Equipment is equipped with heat

displacement correction function, external work zero point offset is not useable.

4-5 Setting of 2nd Reference Point

With F5/2ND REF. PNT pushed, 2nd Reference Point Set page (Fig. 4-1) appears. Use this page to set X and Z axes of the 2nd reference point (G30). When the machine X/Z axes have been positioned to the 2nd reference point and with F2/ENTER having been pushed, “Is this OK? Y-Yes, N-No” appears for confirmation. For OK, push Y key. With F5/EXIT , the original page is recovered.

5. Set (Data)

If you press the F5/Set key, the setting (data) screen (see Fig. 5-0) is displayed. This screen is arranged so that frequently used parameters can be set according to item and application. If there are no optional items, none will be displayed.

The screen runs over several pages, therefore, scroll by using the page keys the desired screen by pressing the alphabet key corresponding to the screens on the menu at the left side of the screen. Number search is also possible.

5-1 Display and Setting

For a selection such as “Yes/No”, the selected one is marked with . When you want to alter, set the cursor with the cursor key ( → or ← and press the INPUT key. When the cursor key ( ↑ or ↓ ) is pressed, the one marked with works for your safety. For your information, the HIT ACHI SEIKI’s standard is the left one. Set the numeric value data from the key input area, start from the key input area. Naturally, calculation and absolute/incremental programming are also enabled. Different from the Parameter screen, the Set (Data) screen does not have input limitations such as WRITE key. The operator should be fully careful to make alteration.

6. Macro Variable

Press [F8/MACRO V ARIABLE] in the PROGRAM screen (F2/PROGRAM). The MACRO VARIABLE screen appears (Fig. 6-2 (a)).

6-1 Macro Variable and Data Display

The macro variable data is classified into the following:

1 1-33 Local variables (correspond to call multiplicity) 2 100-499 Common variables (turned to “null” at power-off time)

3 500 or above Common variables (with name, remembered if the power is turned off) They are changed over with the page keys, respectively. (Fig. 6-2 and Fig. 6-3) The number of significant digits of data is 8 (±99999999 to ±0.0000001). When the numerical value exceeding this limit has been input, the message “OVER FLOW” is output. Nothing is displayed in case of the “null” data (empty, not 0). The name can be input up to 12 characters, but it is given to the common variables 500 or above. (1) Data deletion

Since the data of No. 500 or above is remembered even if the power is turned off, a new function is provided, which can delete all. If the function menu is displayed on Page No. 500 or above, the Menu 7 (DATA CLEAR) appears. Pressing this menu displays the question at the center of the screen whether to erase with 0 or “null”. Select either of them with the cursor key ( ↑ or ↓ ) and press the INPUT key. Finally, the message “OK?” appears in the key input area for safety confirmation. Press the Y key.

(2) “Null” input

If you press the CAN key when the key input area contains nothing, the “null” characters are displayed. Then, pressing the INPUT key turns the data at the cursor position to “null”.

(3) Deleting the name

Set the cursor to the name you want to delete (common variable 500 or above), press [SP ACE], followed by [INPUT].

6-2 Number Search
