When the contour handwheel function is activated, the handwheel has a velocity-generating
effect in AUTOMATIC and MDI modes on all programmed traversing movements of the path and
synchronized axes.
A feedrate specified via the CNC program becomes ineffective and a programmed velocity profile is
no longer valid. The feedrate, in mm/min, results from the handwheel pulses as based on pulse
weighting (machine data) and the active increment. The handwheel's direction of rotation
determines the direction of travel:
Clockwise:
in the programmed direction of travel (even beyond block boundaries)
Counter-clockwise:
against the programmed direction of travel (continuation beyond the start of the block is
prevented).
The following real-time drive variables can be accessed/evaluated in part program:
$AA_LOAD drive capacity utilization in Percentage (%)
$AA_POWER drive active power in Watts (W)
$AA_TORQUE drive torque set point in Newton meters (Nm)
$AA_CURR actual axis/spindle current in Ampere (A)
These variables can be used along with synchronized options
These variables can be also read through PLC interface, NC variables DB1200.DBxxxxx. For the PLC
purpose, evaluation of internal drives is standard.
Application examples :
Evaluation of these drive variables also permits machines and tools to be protected from
overloading, as well as shorter machining times and an improved surface quality for the
workpieces to be achieved. Evaluation of internal drive variables is a prerequisite for implementing
adaptive control (AC).
Adaptive control can be parameterized within the part program as follows:

G_NC02_XX_00381
Several identical workpieces can be clamped onto the machine table. With the multiple clamping
function, an entire program is generated from the graphic program of the relevant single
machining operation. The machining steps are sorted in this program so that the number of tool
changes (and thus idle times) is reduced to a minimum.
This function allows different workpieces to be finished on multiple vises or gripping yokes, while
saving time.

Sag compensation
Multi-dimensional compensation is also possible for the effects of physical influences and
manufacturing tolerances such as sag or leadscrew pitch errors. The compensation tables can be
switched from the PLC.
When the reference axis and the compensating axis are identical, leadscrew pitch errors can be
compensated. By transferring weighting factors (PLC interface), stored compensating
characteristics can be adapted to different conditions (e.g.: tools).
The most important features of interpolation and compensation using tables are as follows:
Independent error characteristics can be defined, in number twice the maximum number of axes
Freely selectable compensating positions, the number of which is configurable (dependent on
the configuration of CNC user memory)
Interpolating inclusion of the compensation values
Weighting factor for compensation of tool weights

The Easy Screen functionality allows SINUMERIK users to design their own user interfaces for the

User interfaces configured by Siemens or other machine manufacturers can be modified or
replaced. This function is implemented via an integrated interpreter and via configuring files
containing the description of the user interface.
The screen forms can be designed directly on the control itself. A graphic tool is required to create
graphics and pictures. Part programs can be processed with newly created user interfaces.
Configuring examples for new screen forms, which can also be used as the basis for the user's own
new screen forms, can be found in the supplied toolbox.
The following functions can be implemented using Easy Screen:
Display screen forms and provide softkeys, variables, tables, texts, help texts, graphics, and
help screens

Easy Screen is configured using ASCII files that can be stored on the PCU. Files that contain ASCII
descriptions for the layout of interactive screen forms, softkey functions and display texts and

G_NC01_EN_00594
Using spline interpolation, it is possible to obtain a very smooth curve from just a few defined
interpolation points along a set contour. The intermediate points are connected by polynomials.
The compressor converts linear motions (e.g.: from CAD) at block transitions to splines of constant
speed (COMPON) or splines of constant acceleration (COMPCURV). This yields soft transitions that
reduce wear on the mechanical parts of the machine tool. However, if the intermediate points are
placed close together, quite sharp edges can also be programmed. Spline interpolation also
considerably reduces the number of program blocks required.
Extremely smooth workpiece surfaces are often very important in mold and tool making, both
optically and technologically, e.g.: for rubber gaskets.
Tool radius compensation is also possible in spline interpolation, as it is in linear or circular
interpolation.
Every polynomial can represent a spline. Only the algorithm determines the type of spline.
A spline is only true to the tangents.
B spline is true to the tangents and the curvature, but does not run through the nodes
(intermediate points).
C spline is true to the tangents and the curvature and runs through the nodes.
With the COMPCAD compressor, smooth curves of this kind can be approximated within the
boundaries of compressor tolerance (parallel tool paths) so that surfaces of a high optical quality
can also be obtained in the case of increased tolerances.
Spline interpolation for 3-axis machining is suitable for simple applications and for the JobShop
area.

TRANSMIT is used for milling outside contours on turned parts, e.g.: square parts (linear axis with
rotary axis).
As a result, programs become much simpler and complete machining increases machine
efficiency. Turning and milling can be performed on one machine without rechucking.
3D interpolation with 2 linear axes and one rotary axis is possible. The two linear axes are mutually
perpendicular and the rotary axis lies at right angles to one of the linear axes.
TRANSMIT can be called up in different channels simultaneously. The function can be selected and
deselected with a preparatory function (straight line, helix, polynomial and activating tool radius
compensation) in the part program or MDI.
With TRANSMIT, the area of the transformation pole is reached when the tool center can be
positioned at least to the turning center of the rotary axis entering the transformation.
TRANSMIT through the pole is implemented in different ways:
When traveling through the pole, the rotary axis is turned automatically by 180° when the
turning center is reached and the remaining block is then executed.
When traveling close by the pole, the control automatically reduces the feedrate and the path
acceleration.
If the path contains a corner in the pole, the position jump in the rotary axis is compensated by
the control through automatic block insertion.
Cylinder surface transformation is used on turning machines and milling machines, and enables
cylinder surface transformation, e.g.: for turned parts.
The TRACYL cylinder surface transformation can be used to manufacture grooves of any shape on
the surface of cylindrical bodies with or without groove side offset. The shape of the grooves is
programmed in reference to the plane cylinder surface processed.
