2.5.7 DNC Function

DNC function is a very useful function for CAD/CAM system users, especially the

controller is the controller used only (not the controller of PC BASED). Since the storage

memory capacity is not very big, so not possible to download all the programs at once,

which implies that it is very important for the DNC function to do its function while

transmitting. Since DNC program is doing its function while transmitting, so the controller

can’t edit it, neither using program calling nor using jump commanding. LNC Technology

Co., Ltd. already installed high capacity hard drive, therefore, users can transmit files into

2.7 Milling EASY-CAM

2.7.1 Preface

This function provides 2D pocketing work of one allowable island. The function area has
「Rough-Cutting」and「Fine-Cutting」working types. The CAM function in this controller

allows users to produce auto NC path for its pocketing of any Profile shape. It means that it

can define working piece’s geometry shape direction on the controller. Also, it will produce

the corresponding post NC code after setting the related working parameters.

2.7.2 Function Specification

Since this is a CAM system that is built inside the controller. In order to get the actual

balance of the calculation efficiency of the specification, there are some using restrictions

as below:

 Only allow defining one closed Profile and it is limited inside the closed Profile. Only

can define maximum 6 islands.

 The line/arch’s number of elements that are made by a single close profile and island

cannot be more than 100 sections.

 Elements that are combined by Profile and Island must be closed.

 Island must be surrounding by Profile. So, the island must be defined with the Profile.

 Cannot have any intersect or self-intersect between islands. Also, cannot have any

point or line connecting/cutting between islands.

 For profile and island, neither can have intersection nor have connection/cutting

between them.

 The using pocking calculation method—Horizontal Surrounding（Arachnoids）. As the

below figure.

2.7.3 CUT PAR (Cutting Parameter)

For this CAM function, able to get the correct path program as long as the cutting

parameter setting is correct before path motion is executing. The definition of each

parameter is described below:

 Starting Surface：The absolute Z coordinate program, which is used to assign the

starting cutting level.

 Ending Surface：The absolute Z coordinate program, which is used to assign the

ending cutting level.

 Cutting Width: Everytime’s feed amount on XY pane for the assigned tool. This value

should not be larger than the tool diameter.

 Fine-Cutting Preservation Amount: the preservation amount for already-formed size

(for fine mill-cutting).

 Feed Height：The absolute Z coordinate program, which is use to set the starting

point of mill-cutting. Tool will cut working part in G01 speed after arriving to the point in

G00 speed. So, the setting value of that point must be greater than [Starting Surface].

 Moving Height：The absolute Z coordinate program, which is to set the ascent height

when tool working is switching position during mill-cutting procedure. Tool will cut into

the working part in G01 speed after arriving to the point in G00 speed. So the setting

value of this point must be greater than [Starting Surface].

 Tool Diameter: This value must be greater than zero.

 Tool Number: The timing codes (M06 T) when the designated tool is doing

tool-exchanging job, i.e., if this value is 1, M06 T01 will be produced.

 Tool Length Offset：To choose tool length offset, setting 0 means to use the +ive

direction offset G43; setting 1 means to use –ive direction offset G44.

 Offset Number：When tool offset, H machine structure is the replace code.

 Spindle Rotational Speed：S machine structure means spindle rotational speed.

 Flat Feed：F machine structure, define tool’s cutting feed rate is F when flat cutting.

 Z-axis feedrate：F machine structure, is to define the cutting feedrate is F when

cutting toward Z-direction.

 Climb/Conventional Cutting：To decide the cutting type of the tool path program.

Two cutting types are [Climb] and [Conventional]. [Climb] is used in rough-cutting and

[Conventional] is used in smooth-cutting.

Figure 2.7-2 Climb/Conventional Cutting Figure

 Cutting Coolant：To decide whether or not to use the cutting function (M8).

 Fine-Cutting Feed：To decide the Tool Approach type when doing [Fine-Cutting]. Two

types of fine-cutting feed which are vertical feed and arch feed. The preserve length

before vertical feed is the radius of the tool. The arch radius is the radius for the tool

feed.

new project file. On the other hand, if not entering a new project name, then the file

will be imported into the present project file.

The following principles must be matched when AutoCAD is producing Figures:
AutoCADFigure shape must be AutoCAD R14 DXF（*.dxf）when choosing to import.

1. Figure shape entity must be LWPOLYLINE, even using plane command to draw

Figure.

2. Using color to differentiate profile or island. When definition is at

machine\mmibase.ini , default value is: DxfOutloopColor=5（Bleu, Profile），
DxfIslandColor =3（Green, Island）.

3. No restrictions for the numbers of profile and island since they can be deleted

after importing.

4. Figure shape is okay to be non-close since it can be modified after importing.
