stops at zero point and a confirmation
lamp of zero point of the axis turns on.

Return the X- and Z-axis to the zero point
in that order.

Method 2 of zero return
[1] Make a mode to [JOG].
[2] If the X and Z axes locate near the zero

point, move it opposite direction (Minus)
from zero point about 100mm.

[3] Press [X+] and [Z+] in that order to return

the X- and Z-axis to the zero point.

[4] Release a finger from the switch after the

confirmation lamp of zero point turned on.

4-2 Operating Method of Q-setter

A tool position compensating value can be get easily, since a tool position compensation is
inputted automatically by touching a tool tip to the Q-setter.

In case of the turret rotates, a cursor changes automatically due to a tool face number
correspond an offset number.

[1] Confirm the zero return condition of the X

and Z axes.
If confirmation lamp is not lit, execute

manual zero return.

[2] Make a mode to manual mode [HANDLE]

or [JOG].

interfered a tool and sensor even if the turret rotates.

When retracting the cutting edge in the [HANDLE]
mode from the beginning, retract it slowly up to about
1 mm. If retracted abruptly in the [HANDLE] mode,
the cutting edge direction may be misconceive,
disabling an entry of a correct compensation value.

[11] Get a compensation amount for the other tool in turn as the same method.

OTHERS
Reference In case of thread cutting tool

In case of thread cutting tool, a tool compensation value of Z value is obtained by the side
of insert as described by Fig. 1 and 2, effective length of thread becomes short by “Width
T” due to position of cutting edge is different. Therefore, get a tool compensation amount
by the Q setter as Fig. 1 then execute incremental compensation input to minus side (In
case of Fig. 2, plus side), so correct effective length of thread can be get as Fig. 3.

The incremental amount you can input at a time is up to 1mm. If it exceeds 1mm, divide the
input into several times, with the amount less than 1mm each time.

4-3-3 Working

The working patterns, as shown in Fig. 7-3(c) 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 Fig. 7-3(a).

4-4 How to Shape Soft Jaw

In order to manufacture precision products of high commercial value, without flaws on
workpiece, a soft jaw is formed. By forming a soft jaw matching with the chuck, cutting work
can be performed safely and steadily thus the accuracy of processed goods will improve. For
shaping a soft jaw, there are two methods; one is to utilize the simple soft jaw forming function,
the other is to form one by manual operation.

4-4-1 Simple Jaw Edge Forming Function

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

Pushing F6/JAW on the page of the work coordinate system

(General → F4/WORK OFFSET ), 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.
[7]

Pushing F9/SHAPE CHECK in MDI mode, check the shape of a working program. If not

in MDI mode, “Set MDI mode” message is displayed. While in shape checking, Dry-Run

and Machine Lock ON state are held effective. The operation panel lamps, however, do

not lit up. Also, no MST code is output.

The coordinate system (tip position) is brought to presetting on completion of shape

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.

A: I.D./O.D of the first step.
B: Depth of the first step
C: Diameter of the ring (core metal) used
D: I.D./O.D of the second step (If value 0 is set, the shape of jaw formed is a single step

jaw.)

E: Depth of the second step (If value 0 is set, the shape of jaw formed is a single step

jaw.)
T: Taper amount of the gripping portion
F: Necking depth
G: The maximum amount of cutting margin (If value 0 is set, cutting proceeds to Z

direction in rough cutting (See Note 1). If value larger than 0 is set, copy cutting is

performed in rough cutting (See Note 1))
I: Setting of necking width (relieving width)
J: Bolt position 1
K: Input the amount of the jaw protruding from the chuck diameter with +/- sign.

(based on the chuck diameter)

Caution

1. Before starting soft jaw forming, make jaw end face position setting. A warning is
issued, If shape check or soft jaw forming is executing without making the end face
position setting.

2. Clamp the maximum spindle revolution during the soft jaw forming with the parameter
setting value.

3. Attention should be paid to the tool tip shape, when executing copy cutting and
necking processing.

4. The maximum value of the margin (G) is the value where the margin is considered to
be uniform both directions of diameter and lengthwise. When the margin in two
directions are different, the larger value should be taken as the maximum value of the
margin for the setting.

5. Use decimal point, for inputting the value of dimensions.

6. When attaching a jaw, make sure that the jaw does not protrude beyond the outside
diameter of the chuck.

7. For jaws, always use the standard soft jaw.

8. When processing a thin workpiece, chucking pressure may be lowered for avoiding
deformation of the workpiece, In such cases, take care not to set the spindle revolution
speed too high.
