2.1 Powering-up the control
2.1 Powering-up the control
Unless the machine manufacturer has set it up differently, the controller powers up automatically when the power supply is switched on. Internal test routines are performed during the power-up process. Once they have been successfully completed, the controller opens and displays the Reference Point screen form.
2.2 Reference point approach
Once the controller has powered up, the Reference Point screen form appears:
Fig. 2-1: Reference point approach
!
Note
Before starting the reference point approach, be sure to move the machine slide to a position from which the reference point can be approached in a positive axis direction.
2.2.1 Preparations for reference point approach
Before you can approach the reference points for the two axes, the following conditions must be met:
Prerequisite
There must be no NC alarms pending!
Clear any that are pending by pressing the "Reset" function key.
All machine axes must be in a position from which the reference point can be
reached in a positive traversing direction. In manual mode, use the handwheels to move the axes to the appropriate position ahead of the reference point.

Caution
In this operating mode the axes can only be approached using the handwheel. Use of the 4-way switch or axis direction keys to move the axes is blocked. In addition, the spindle cannot be started in this mode.
Press the “Refer. Axes” function key to switch back to “Reference point
approach” mode.
2.2.3 Reference point approach
Displays
Axis has not yet been referenced
Axis has already reached the reference point (is referenced)
Once all the conditions have been met ( Preparations for reference point approach), reference point approach can be started for each axis as follows:
Using the 4-way switch or axis direction key, start the X axis in the positive
direction (X+). The reference point for the X axis is then approached automatically.
At the end of this process the axis stops automatically and the symbol is
displayed in front of the axis name.
Once the X axis has reached its reference point, the same process can be
repeated for the Z axis (Z+).
!
Note
The axes must be referenced in this sequence, i.e. the X axis first, followed by the Z axis. Any other sequence will not be accepted by the controller.
Caution
If the machine manufacturer has not fitted an axis limit switch, there is a risk of a mechanical collision if the axis is on the wrong side of the reference point cam before the start of the reference point approach. Preparations for reference point approach.
Press the "End Refpkt." function key once both axes have been referenced to

2.3 Manual Machining
2.3.3 Machining with the handwheels
The handwheels for the X and Z axis are not mechanically connected to the feed screws. Electronic pulse generators mounted on the handwheels generate the information needed by the controller to execute the required traversing movement.
The handwheels are only active when the 4-way switch is in the zero position and the individual axis control keys are disabled.
The distance traversed per handwheel pulse depends on the handwheel valuation setting. Handwheel valuation setting.
!
Note
If the handwheel valuation is set to "0" or if the feedrate override switch is in the "0" position, the handwheels are disabled.
2.3.4 Handwheel valuation setting
Press the “Toggle key for handwheel valuation” in the main “Manual Machining” screens to set the handwheel valuation. The current setting will appear on the top-right of the screen (e.g., 100 INC).
If you are unable to adjust the handwheel valuation setting, it will be because the controller's internal mode is incompatible with this process. Press the “JOG” key once to resolve the problem.
Caution
An incorrect handwheel valuation setting can result in damage to the workpiece, tool and machine.
2.3.5 Machining with the 4-way switch/axis direction keys
The axis can be traversed in the desired direction by turning the 4-way switch or pressing the appropriate axis direction key. The feedrate at which the axis is traversed depends on the settings in the Machining Technology Data screen form.
The axis feedrate is also influenced by the feedrate override switch setting and, depending on the option selected in the Machining Technology Data screen form (Rev. feedrate/cutting speed), by the spindle override switch.

2.3 Manual Machining
If rapid traverse overlay is also actuated, the axis is moved at the maximum possible speed unless a different value has been set at the feedrate override switch.
!
Note
If the feedrate override switch is set to "0", any type of axis movement is blocked. With the "Rev. feedrate" and "cutting speed" settings, the feed is blocked until the spindle reaches the setpoint speed.
2.3.6 Spindle advance/reverse
The spindle is started in the appropriate direction (spindle advance/reverse) by moving the spindle joystick or actuating the corresponding spindle direction key, provided that the chuck guard switch is enabled (chuck guard closed).
!
Note
The spindle cannot be started unless the chuck guard switch is enabled. Close the chuck guard.
Caution
Handling the chuck guard/chuck guard switch can lead to injury or mechanical damage and should be avoided.
When the spindle is switched off it brakes and comes to a halt. If a spindle brake is fitted, it is applied. If there is no spindle brake or it is switched off, the spindle can be rotated freely once it has stopped.
If "Spindle Positi." is selected in the "Spindle Positioning" screen form, the spindle is moved to the specified position after being switched off. The spindle brake, if fitted, is then applied. Spindle positioning.
The programmed spindle speed can be controlled by means of an appropriate spindle override switch setting (e.g. 50%).
2.3.7 Jog spindle
The jog spindle key (if provided by the machine manufacturer) can be used to rotate the spindle at low speed, for example to move a workpiece to a specific angular position.

2.3 Manual Machining
2.3.8 Tool change
In the case of conventional/cycle-controlled machines of this order of magnitude, with just a few exceptions, a manual tool change will generally be required. For this reason, the correct tool number (tool compensation) must be notified to the control by hand once the real tool change has taken place at the machine.
This is done as follows:
Press function key "T" in the main Manual Machining screen form.
The entry field for the T value is highlighted.
Use the numeric keypad to enter the required tool number (tool offset)
(permissible values 1-15).
Press "Enter" to complete the process.
If no further messages appear, the controller has completed the tool change.
!
Note
The tool number (tool offset) can only be changed, if all axes and the spindle are stationary.
Caution
The tool number (tool offset) entered in the T value field must correspond to the tool fitted in the machine. Otherwise, the tool will have to be re-calibrated ( Tool calibration). An uncalibrated or incorrectly calibrated tool can lead to dimensional errors or to incorrect cutting values.
If machining technology data settings for the tool number (tool offset) to be activated are found in the “Tool Data” screen form ( Entering tool technology data), the following message appears (relating to T4, in this example):

2.3.9 Machining technology data
Machining technology data, such as spindle speed, cutting speed and feedrate, defines the settings that the controller needs for the machining of workpieces.
!
Note
The machining technology data can only be changed, if all axes and the spindle are stationary.
There are two ways of changing the machining technology data:

2.3.11 Entering machining technology data:
To open the screen form for machining technology data, press the "Spindle" function key in "Manual Machining".
The following screen form appears:
Fig. 2-7: Machining technology data input
When the screen form appears, the last entry field to have been edited is highlighted and a new value can be entered. To change a value in a different entry field, use the cursor keys to move to that field. Enter the value via the numeric keypad and then press Enter to accept (activate) the value. To abort the change and restore the previous entry value, use the cursor keys to move to a different entry field or exit the screen form (by pressing the "Back" function key), without pressing Enter.
The meanings of the individual entry fields are defined as follows:
Const. Spindle Speed
This entry value defines the programmed spindle speed for machining with "Spindle speed + Time feed" or "Spindle speed + Rev. feedrate". The value is only fully reached if no reduction is specified via the spindle override valuation or the spindle speed limit parameter ("Max. spindle speed").
Const. cutting Speed
Cutting speed entry value for machining with "Cutting speed + Rev. feedrate". The spindle speed is adjusted to the machining diameter of the workpiece so that uniform cutting conditions are achieved. Since the spindle would theoretically have to rotate at an "infinitely high" speed at the rotational center point in this mode, it has to be limited via the "Max. spindle speed" parameter. The constant cutting speed can also be influenced by means of the feedrate and spindle override valuation settings.

2.3 Manual Machining
Max. spindle speed
It is vital to enter the maximum permissible spindle speed here. The spindle speed is then limited to this value under all circumstances, so that the permissible chucking device speed, for example, cannot be exceeded.
Time feed If Time feed is selected, the axes are moved at the speed
entered here (mm/min) (unless rapid traverse override is activated). It can be influenced by the feedrate override switch setting.
Feedrate per rev.
The value entered here determines the axis velocity in “Spindle speed + Rev. feedrate” or “Const. cutting speed + Rev. feedrate” modes (if no rapid traverse override is set). It is influenced directly by the feedrate override valuation setting and indirectly by the spindle override valuation setting.
Caution
In the entry field for the maximum permissible spindle speed, you must enter the value specified by the manufacturer for the chucking device that is fitted! Failure to pay sufficient attention to this point can lead to serious damage as a result of the chucking device speed being exceeded.
To select the desired machining mode, press the "Spindle Feed" function key
one or more times:

When the screen form appears, there are two ways to enter the position:
Use the numeric keypad to enter the position directly in the highlighted entry
field for the "Set spindle pos.". Then press Enter to accept the value. Only values from 0 to 359.9 are permitted; otherwise, an error message appears and the value is not accepted.
After switching off the spindle, rotate it manually into the required position and
press Enter. The current spindle position is displayed in the "Set spindle pos." entry field and automatically accepted. If the spindle has not completed a full rotation since the controller was last powered up, the spindle is not yet synchronized and the position will therefore not be accepted. In this case, a corresponding message is displayed.

4.1.3 Turning against mechanical stoppage
The example below is intended to clarify how the limit stops work. Machining can generally also be carried out using the handwheel (rather than the 4-way switch or axis direction keys as described here):
A step of 100 mm in the Z direction and a 50 mm end diameter in the X direction is required, with a final machining allowance of 0.2 mm. The blank diameter is 70 mm and the end face is at 0 mm in the Z direction ( Tool calibration).
Position the axes in front of the workpiece (e.g., X +75 mm/Z +5 mm).
Check the machining technology data.
Set the limit stops: -X at 50.4 mm/-Z at –99.8 mm (because of the final
machining allowance), +Z at +5 mm. Disable the limit stop for +X; it is not required.
Start spindle.
st
Using the handwheel, infeed to the 1
depth of cut in the X direction.
Start machining in the Z axis in the negative direction, using the 4-way switch or
the axis direction key.
When the -Z trip position at –99.8 mm is reached, the Z axis stops automatically
and the "-Z trip reached" message appears.
Switch off the 4-way switch or the axis direction key.
Retract with the handwheel.
Using the 4-way switch or axis direction key and rapid traverse overlay, traverse
in front of the workpiece in the positive Z direction until the axis stops and the "+Z trip reached" message appears.
Switch off the 4-way switch or the axis direction key.
Using the handwheel, infeed to the next depth of cut in the X direction.
Start machining in the Z axis in the negative direction, using the 4-way switch or
the axis direction key.
Repeat the process until the roughing depth is reached (the "-X trip reached" message appears as the infeed motion is executed). Once this cut has been completed, adjust the limit stops to the finished dimension, provided that the axes are ahead of the workpiece.
Set the stops to the finished dimension: -X to 50.0 mm/-Z to –100.0 mm
Using the handwheel, infeed in the X direction until the "-X trip reached"

4.2 Taper turning
The Taper turning function is intended for the simple production of tapered workpieces. The procedure is basically the same as for "Manual Machining" apart from the addition of an angle (angle of taper). The angle input rotates the controller’s internal coordinate system according to the angle value. When the 4­way switch or an axis direction key is actuated, the controller then uses the angle input to interpolate (and traverse) the X and Z axis accordingly. The programmed axis feed then applies to the path being traversed and not to the corresponding axis.
If tapers with defined end points are to be turned, the use of limit stops is a helpful addition to this function.  Limit stops

4.3 Radius turning
The entry fields have the following meanings:
This entry value describes the position of the circle end position in the X
x1
axis. The value should be the "relative linear measurement" (in the radius) whose starting point is the circle start position (= current X axis position in the diameter).
This entry value describes the position of the circle end position in the Z
z1
axis. The value should be the "relative linear measurement" whose starting point is the circle start position (= current Z axis position).
This entry value describes the radius to be traversed.
r
The function key assignments are as follows:
Arc Direct.
This key is used to specify whether a clockwise or counterclockwise circle should be traversed. The chosen direction is indicated by a diagram in the screen form.
Abort This key can be used to abort a non-executable radius machining
operation without having to leave the "Radius turning" screen form. The relevant entry value can then be corrected. For the operation to be aborted successfully, the only requirement is that the spindle must have been switched off before the function key is pressed. If not, a corresponding message will appear and the function will be disabled.
Caution
Omitting or using the wrong sign for the entry values (x1, z1) or entering the wrong arc direction ("Arc Direct." function key) can lead to a collision and may destroy the tool or the workpiece.
Once all the entry values have been entered correctly, radius turning can be started by pressing the NC start key. Since the starting point for the radius is always the current axis position, a kind of "surface texture" can be achieved by pressing the NC start key repeatedly.
Any radius execution can be interrupted immediately by pressing the NC stop key. Execution can only be continued by pressing the NC Start key before exiting the "Radius turning" screen form, since exiting the screen form terminates the function. If the screen form is opened again, the system assumes that you wish to execute a new radius starting from the current axis position (in this case, the point of interruption) and calculates it accordingly. An interrupted radius will not be completed.

4.4 Drilling - centered
The "Drilling" function is designed to produce deep-hole drill holes in the vicinity of the turning center. Before the start of the cycle, the tool should be positioned in the turning center so that the hole can be machined by infeeding in the longitudinal axis only.
The technology data needed for the machining operation is automatically taken from the entry fields in "Manual Machining".

Note
"Drilling" can only be selected when the spindle is running, otherwise an error message appears.
Caution
In drilling operations, a spindle rotating in the wrong direction can cause serious damage to the tool, workpiece or machine! Check the direction of rotation of the spindle before pressing NC start!
Caution
Before starting the drilling operation, ensure that the tool is correctly positioned in the turning center; otherwise, the drilling tool or workpiece may be damaged!! Check that the tool is in the turning center before pressing NC start!!

Meaning of the function keys: "Spanbr./ Entsp"
This key is used to toggle between machining with "swarf breaking" and with "deswarfing". With "swarf breaking", on reaching the corresponding infeed depth the tool is retracted in the axial axis by a defined value (swarf breaking) before the next infeed. With "deswarfing" on the other hand, the tool is withdrawn from the drill hole on reaching the corresponding infeed depth. The next infeed then continues as usual. The current selection is shown as a graphic in the left-hand section of the screen. If "deswarfing" is selected, no value is shown for the "return".

4.5 Tapping
The first infeed in the axial axis (as defined in the "Infeed Max." parameter) is
then performed.
The subsequent traversing movement in the axial axis depends on whether
"swarf breaking" or "deswarfing" has been selected. With "swarf breaking" the tool is retracted in the axial axis by the value set in the "return" parameter; with "deswarfing" the axial axis is positioned at the cycle start point.
The subsequent infeeds in the longitudinal axis are always calculated in the
same way: new infeed value = last infeed value x factor + return stroke value The new infeed value is monitored to ensure that it complies with the value for the "Infeed Min." parameter. If the infeed value is below the minimum infeed, this value is imposed, provided that the drilling depth allows it. The calculation is followed by the infeed in the longitudinal axis.
Infeed motion and "swarf breaking/deswarfing" then alternate until the drilling
depth specified in the "Length I" parameter is reached.
Once the required drilling depth is reached, the waiting time specified in the
"Dwell t" parameter begins.
At the end of this waiting time, the tool is traversed to the cycle start point in the
longitudinal axis.
Machining is now complete and once the spindle has been switched off the "Execution" screen form can be closed by pressing the "Cycle finish" function key.
4.5 Tapping
The "Tapping" function is designed to produce internal threads in the vicinity of the turning center using a compensating chuck. Before the start of the cycle, the tool should be positioned in the turning center so that the hole can be machined by infeeding in the longitudinal axis only.

Machining proceeds as follows:
Starting from the current axis position, the first calculated groove position is
approached (diagonally) in both axes, taking into account the clearance distance and final machining allowance.
Execute the depth infeeds as a roughing motion in the transverse axis (X axis):
each infeed depth is calculated internally so that firstly the setting "m1" is not exceeded and secondly the infeed distance is kept uniform until the base of the groove is reached (taking into account the final machining allowance). After each infeed, the tool is retracted by the clearance distance for chip breaking.
When the base of the groove is reached for the first time, the tool is withdrawn
from the material at the programmed feedrate.
This is followed by the width infeed in the longitudinal axis: the width offset is
calculated internally, taking into account the tool width (length "l2") and the groove width (length "l1") so that the machining is as uniform as possible.
Depth infeeds are then alternated as roughing motion and width offset until the
entire groove contour has been cleared. The only difference between the first depth infeed and the others is that when the base of the groove is reached, the tool is retracted by the clearance distance and then moved out of the groove in rapid traverse.
Finishing is started immediately after the roughing operation. The entire contour
is covered from both sides to the center of the base of the groove at the feedrate specified in the “Technology Data” screen form before the start of the cycle.
Finally, the original position of the axes before the start of machining is
approached diagonally.

4.8 Cutting cycles
The cutting cycles (which are preset in the controller) are the easiest way of producing common paraxial cutting contours. They are defined by setting particular input parameters in the appropriate screen forms. Contour machining can be "internal" or "external", roughing can be "axial" or "radial" and the machining direction can be "towards the chuck" or "towards the tailstock". To facilitate handling, there are three different sets of cycle parameters (contour­dependent) available:
Cutting cycle A:
Simple stepped contour ("step"). Diameter settings and transitions to adjacent
faces can include chamfers or radii.
Cutting cycle B:
Extended stepped contour with beveling. It is defined by means of 3 Transitions
to adjacent faces can again include chamfers or radii.
Cutting cycle C:
Extended stepped contour with filleting. It is defined by means of 3 length
settings and one radius setting. Transitions with chamfers or radii are not
possible in this case.

4.9 Setting the workpiece zero point
The “Setting the workpiece zero point" function can be used to set the required length offset by modifying the clamping tolerances of the unmachined part (when machining multiple parts, for example).
Typical application/procedure
All the machining steps (cycles) for the workpiece are parameterized in relation to a “virtual zero point” (e.g., an end face). The unmachined part is clamped accordingly and the relevant surface, which corresponds to the “virtual zero point”, is scratched. The workpiece coordinate system for the parameterized machining operation is then adjusted by means of the “Setting the workpiece zero point” function without the position that has been approached in the longitudinal axis being abandoned.
Additional information
When the “Setting the workpiece zero point” function is selected, the work offset is calculated automatically according to the current axis position in the longitudinal axis (Z) and then entered and activated on the NC memory for the 1 This will also set the position displayed for the longitudinal axis (Z) to 0.000, as this always corresponds to the workpiece coordinate system.
If the workpiece zero point is reset, the value “0.000” will automatically be entered in the NC memory in respect of the first work offset (G54). The workpiece coordinate system display will change to reflect this.

5 Service Functions 04/2005
The meanings of the function keys are as follows: "Display bright."
This function increases the screen brightness incrementally each time the key is pressed. When the screen is set to maximum brightness, it is very difficult to see. The current setting is stored even when the machine is switched off.
"Display darker"
"Change lang."
This function reduces the screen brightness incrementally each time the key is pressed. When the screen is set to “minimum brightness” it is very difficult to see. The current setting is stored even when the machine is switched off.
This function can be used to switch to the "alternative language" installed by the machine manufacturer. The language change takes immediate effect and is retained even when the controller is switched off.

6 Saving Data

All the data saved in the controller (tool offsets, technology data, machine cycles, machine data, etc.) is stored in a RAM. This is backed up in a gold-cap capacitor when the system is shut down, although system constraints mean that the backup is designed for "short-term use" only. If the system is shut down for an extended period (e.g., factory shutdown), as a result of which the backup period is exceeded, the data in the RAM is lost. If the data loss is detected when the controller is next powered up, the data from the last data backup (from the flash memory) is copied to the RAM. A corresponding message also appears in the alarm line.
Note
For data security reasons, we recommend that you back up your data at least once a week. If you intend to take the machine out of service for an extended period (e.g., factory shutdown, etc.), you must back up the data before shutting down the machine.
The procedure for backing up data in the flash memory is described below, starting from the main "Manual Machining" screen (Fig. 2-4):
Change the function key bar by pressing the "Extended menu"
times
Press the "Save data" function key. The following screen form appears:

6 Saving Data 04/2005
The question can be answered by pressing one of these function keys:
"YES" All control data is copied to the flash memory. The current control
state is now available as a backup in the event of a data loss. Any existing data backup is overwritten. Do not shut down the controller during the data backup process, since this may lead to a general data loss (and the controller will then have to be restarted). A corresponding message appears when data backup is in progress.
"NO" A data backup is not performed and the function is aborted. Any
existing data backup is retained.
Note
Do not shut down the controller during the data backup process, since this may lead to a general data loss (and the controller will then have to be restarted).

8 Shutting Down the Controller

The controller can be shut down at any time, provided that a data backup is not in progress! Saving Data.
However, we recommend that you position the axes before shutting down the system so that when the system is switched on again a reference point approach can be performed in both axes.
Caution
Do not shut down the controller during the data backup process, since this may lead to a general data loss (and the controller will then have to be restarted)!
