MODE

This chapter does not aim to reflect the way an operator actually uses his machine. Rather, it attempts to explain certain basic notions which will be referred to in this manual.

For example, in paragraph 1.2.4 (definition of shifts), the aim is not to impose a method of measuring shifts, but simply to provide a definition of shifts and the corresponding zero points.

1.1 System Overview

1.1.1 Overview of Modes

The operator uses the numerical control (NC) in various operating modes accessible from the operator panel.

Each mode corresponds to a particular use of the numerical control (continuous machining, programme loading, tool setting, etc.).

1.1.2 Defining a Programme

A programme is a sequence of instructions written in a programming language specific to the numerical control (the most widely used is ISO code: International Standards Organization).

The numerical control interprets the programme to control actions on a machine-tool. The most widespread storage media for programmes are punched tape and diskettes.

en-938821/2 1 - 3

1.1.3 Preparing a Programme

A part programme can be created by traditional programming or using a CAD/CAM system.

1.2 Machine Overview

1.2.1 Review of Axis Definition and Direction

A coordinate system is used to identify the positions and movements of an object with respect to an origin or zero point.

A rectangular cartesian coordinate system is a right-handed three-axis system of three linear axes, X, Y and Z, with which are associated three rotary axes, A, B and C.

Review

The direction of axes X, Y and Z is easily remembered by the right-hand rule.

The positive direction of rotation of a rotary axis corresponds to the direction of screwing of a right-hand screw on the associated axis.

en-938821/2 1 - 5

1.2.2 Machine Overview

The manufacturer defines the coordinate system associated with the machine in accordance with standard ISO 841 (or NF Z68-020).

The X, Y and Z axes, parallel to the machine slideways, form a right-handed rectangular cartesian coordinate system. The coordinate system measures tool movements with respect to the part to be machined, assumed fixed.

REMARK When it is the part that moves, it may be more convenient to identify its

movements. In this case, axes X’, Y’ and Z’, pointing in opposite directions from axes X, Y and Z, are used.

The direction of the axis of a machine depends on the type of machine and the layout of its components. For a milling machine:

- the Z axis is the axis of the main spindle when this axis is parallel to one of the slideways,

- positive movement along the Z axis increases the distance between the part and tool,

- the X axis is perpendicular to the Z axis and corresponds to the largest excursion,

- the Y axis is perpendicular to the X and Z axes. Rotary axes A, B and C define rotations around axes parallel to X, Y and Z. Secondary linear axes U, V and W may or may not be parallel to primary axes X, Y and Z. For more details, refer to the above-mentioned standard.

1.2.3 Definition of Travels and Origins

Review

The NC processor computes all movements with respect to the measurement origin or zero point of the machine. When the system is turned on, it does not know the measurement origin. The mechanical travel on each machine axis

is limited by maximum and minimum limit switches.

OM :

Om :

The homing procedure is completed for each of the axes when:

- the origin limit switch is actuated in the direction of movement specified by the m/c manufacturer (MOS direction),

- the encoder which measures axis movement outputs its marker pulse.

The system establishes the measurement origin (OM) via a homing procedure (MOS). The home switch is set in a specific physical location: the machine zero point (Om) may or may not be the

same as the measurement origin (OM).

When homing (MOS) is completed, the system applies the shift defined by the manufacturer to each of the axes to establish the measurement origin (OM).

Measurement origin shift (Om/OM) = ORPOM

The useful travel on each axis is limited by software limits whose values are defined by the manufacturer.

1.2.4 Definition of Shifts

Review

To write a part programme, the programmer chooses a programme origin. The programme origin is generally a starting point for dimensional measurements on the part drawing.

OP :

Op :

The operator sets the programme origin (OP) as shown below: He sets (for each axis) a known, accessible point on the part, called the part origin (Op). This may be the

same point as the programme origin.

Part datum shift (Op/OM) = DAT1

It is possible to set the DAT1 and DAT2 values from the part programme.

en-938821/2 1 - 11

Special Case of Milling Machines Equipped with Rotary Tables

This concept of part origin only applies to the two axes affected by rotation. The centre of rotation of the table (OC) has a particular role.

Offset of the centre of rotation (OC/OM) = DAT1

(axes affected by rotation)

Offcentring of the part (OP/OC) = DAT3

(axes affected by rotation)

REMARK For axes other than those affected by rotation, the previous definitions of DAT1

and DAT2 still apply.

Example: rotary axis B Rotation is around an axis parallel to the Y axis. The axes affected by the rotation are Z and X.

1.2.6 Definition of Tool Wear Offsets

Review

At any time (even during machining), the operator can enter tool wear offsets when he observes a difference between the expected and the actual results on a part.

The offsets (positive or negative) compensate for slight dimensional variations of the tool or part (wear, expansion).

2.2 Switching on/off

2.2.1 Switching on

Switch on the machine using the procedure defined by the OEM

Example of equipment power up sequence:

- general switching on (the CNC and the peripherals),

- switching on the power systems (with conditions related to the CNC). When the CNC is switched on, a status window displays the following type of information:

12345

HOME

FREE M02 CN1

1 - Increment indicator: "FREE" is the default setting (another

increment can be selected by the PLC)

2 - "HOME" indicator: the measurement origin settings still to be

performed on the declared axes

3 - "M02" indicator: normal status of the system when not machining

(the "RESET" indicator is displayed if there is no PLC programme or the PLC is faulty)

4 - "CN1" indicator: in single-panel configuration (single or multiple

CNC), the first CNC is the default CNC

5 - "OVER" and "CAPS" indicators: text editor is set to overtype

mode and upper case letters when the system is switched on

If one of these indicators is missing, a fault may be present on the system.

Notes

If the power to the CNC is switched off and back on, all the machining parameters (shifts, tool offsets, etc.) remain stored; only the measurement origin is lost.

Incidents

Any message displayed when the CNC is switched on (See chapter 7) is linked to a system fault.

OVER CAPS

2.2.2 Restart Following an Emergency Stop

An emergency stop automatically switches off the power to the machine actuators. The CNC remains energised and retains all the machining data including movement commands.

Reset all the current movement commands. ☞

Restart the machine using the procedure defined by the OEM.

3.1.4 Softkeys

The softkeys of the compact panel differ from those of the other CNC panels. Since the compact panel has fewer keys, certain keys of the CNC panels are replaced by softkeys (see the sections "Special Case of the Compact Panel").

These softkeys are accessible in special softkey bars of the compact panel:

- The root softkey bar gives access to the Mode, Jog, Tool and Character softkeys

- The first Jog softkey bar is used to select the axis controlled by the jogs

- The two Mode softkey bars, the Tool softkey bar and the second Jog softkey bar (only Jog softkey bar on CNC

panels) are different

- The Character softkey bars allow entry of characters not available on the compact panel keyboard.

3.2 Interactions Between Mode Selections and Display Pages

3.2.1 Neutral Mode

When the CNC is switched on, no mode is active and the "current mode" field of the status window is not displayed: the CNC is in neutral mode.

The alphanumeric keyboard is inactivated.

3.2.2 Interactions between Modes

When a mode is selected from the Mode softkeys, its name is automatically displayed in the "current mode" field of the status window (assuming that the selection is authorised by the machine processor).

Two modes cannot be active at the same time:

- when no cycle is in progress (indicator "M02" displayed in the status window), each time a mode is selected, it

replaces the previous selection,

- when a cycle is in progress (indicator "INCYC" displayed in the status window), each time a new mode is selected,

its name is displayed in the "standby mode" field.

When a mode is on standby, it is activated:

- at the end of a cycle for all modes except automatic mode,

- at the end of a block for automatic mode (or at the end of a cycle if the block being executed comprises a canned

machining cycle such as G31 or G81).

3.2.3 Interactions between Modes and Display Pages

When a display page is selected from the basic softkeys, this page is displayed in the main window. Changing pages returns the CNC to neutral mode in the following cases:

- if the CNC is in edit or origin shift mode (SHIFTS)

- if the CNC is in loading or unloading mode but not in progress When the system is in edit mode and a new mode (other than homing, loading and unloading) is selected, the "current

position" page is displayed. Irrrespective of which mode is active, when the:

- edit mode is selected, the active programme is displayed,

- homing mode is selected, the SHIFTS page is displayed,

- loading mode is selected, the "FILE LOADING" menu is displayed,

- unloading mode is selected, the "FILE UNLOADING" menu is displayed unless the CNC is in graphic display mode.

4.6.2 Machining Simulation

Machining simulation is used to visually check that the programme runs as expected (part dimensions and sequencing of operations).

Simulated machining is based on real machining performed by the CNC in automatic (See 5.4.3.5) and single step modes (See 5.4.3.3), but no real axis motion takes place.

Programmed interventions (M00, M12, data input, etc.) are not taken into account during simulation. External parameters (E) are not modified during simulation.

Requirements

scaled area is displayed without any trace. The next part of the procedure can also be accessed using the tool path trace

function in the graphic display parameters page (See 4.6.1.2).

4.6.3 3D Display

The 3D display shows parts in isometric projection. It is used to:

- visually check the shape of a part (or section of a part) from different angles using a rotation function,

- display details in cross-section. The 3D display function can display cross-sections of a part in isometric projection. In order to use the 3D display function, a rectangular block corresponding to the blank must first be declared in the

programme (See Programming manual). Reminder: the rectangular block is declared using the following syntax: "EM+ X.. Y.. Z.. EM- X.. Y.. Z.." (the dimensions after EM+ are the maximum dimensions of the parallelepiped and the dimensions after EM- are the minimum dimensions).

Only simple-shaped cutters are used (cylindrical, toroid or spherical and drills).

Requirements

Graphic display parameters page displayed and programme selected.

Declaration of blank in the programme. Tool data declared in the tool correction table.

Select the tool orientation (See diagram) used in the programme

(default setting: R+). The softkey corresponding to the tool orientation is depressed. In a programme, the tool orientation is defined by the arguments of

function G16 (See Programming manual). The diagram opposite summarises the tool orientations and associated

arguments of G16.
