08.02 Operation

2.2 Machine control panel

General notes

Example

Operations on the machine tool such as axis traversal or program start can only be initiated via a machine control panel.

The machine control panel is configured and supplied by the machine tool manufacturer. Please refer to the operating manual supplied by the machine tool manufacturer for details of which panel control elements are required for your application and a description of their functionality.

The following description is based on an example configuration.

Operating modes

Depending on your requirements, operating modes MANUAL,

STRAIGHT, CONICAL, CIRCLE, CYCLE, STOCK REMOVAL,

CONTOUR and PROGRAM can be activated via

• an operating mode switch or

• the vertical soft key menu on the operator panel or

• illuminated keys.

Z -

X -

XZ off

X +

Z +

Traversing directions

Control stick with rapid traverse key

The control stick allows axes X and Z to be traversed paraxially and at angles of 45°. The control stick is active in Setup mode and in the above mentioned operating modes.

• Illuminated keys.

As an alternative to the control stick, you can also use the illuminated keys to select the traversing direction. The traversing velocities can be selected by means of a fixed feedrate and feed key, whereby the preselected feed axes traverse for as long as the JOG key is pressed. The set working feedrate can be substituted by this function.

Operation 08.02

2.2 Machine control panel

Contour handwheel

When the contour handwheel function is activated, the handwheel controls the feedrate along a programmed contour.

Feedrate override switch

The feedrate override switch can be used as required to make fine feedrate adjustments to suit the machining process. The feed control is displayed as a percentage in the status field.

Spindle control

• Spindle speed override switch

The speed override switch is used to change the speed or peripheral speed during machining within speed limits for the selected gear step. The new value is displayed.

C +

[.]

handwheels.

Illuminated pushbutton "Contour handwheel On/Off"

This key switches the contour handwheel on and off.

Illuminated keys "Traverse by handwheel"

The handwheel factor is set with keys 1, 10 and 100.

JOG keys for fixed feedrates

Fine traverse/creep feed/moderate traverse/rapid traverse button When an operating mode is active, axes are not traversed at the programmed feedrate but at a fixed feedrate setting (override has no effect). When an operating mode has been interrupted or not started at all, these keys act as JOG keys for the feed or C axis. The travel direction is selected with the control stick or the illuminated key for the C axis.

2.2 Machine control panel

JOG key for feedrate

When an operating mode has been interrupted or not started at all, the feed key acts as a JOG key for the feed or C axis. The override is active. The travel direction is selected with the control stick or the illuminated key for the C axis.

Illuminated key "Cycle Start/Stop"

You use the Start key to activate the function selected via the operating mode switch, e.g. single positioning step or complete machining cycle.

The Stop key can be pressed to halt a motion in progress. The keys light up correspondingly to indicate the current operational status. The possible operational states are listed below:

• No key illuminated

The selected operating mode has not been started. You can select another operating mode or start setup.

• Start key illuminated, Stop key not illuminated

The displayed operating mode has been started. The axes move according to the way they have been selected or programmed. Setup is not possible.

• Stop key illuminated

2.5 Operating system

General notes

Machining possibilities

Options for manual intervention as well as step-by-step machining of lathed parts are the principle features of turning machines controlled in the conventional manner (X, Z; one spindle). With the ManualTurn system, you enter travel commands in plaintext via simple input screen forms in a graphics-assisted dialog. The following machining modes are at your disposal:

• MANUAL

• STRAIGHT

• TAPER

• CIRCLE

• CYCLES

• STOCK REMOVAL

• CONTOUR

• PROGRAM

With ManualTurn, workpieces can be machined as follows:

• conventionally with single-cycle machining

• automated with step chain programming using EasyStep

Single cycle machining

Step chain programming

with EasyStep

You can parameterize the above modes (except for MANUAL and PROGRAM) as a single cycle and process them immediately with NC start, i.e. you can create a contour and then cut without having to create an entire EasyStep program. Prerequisite for single-cycle machining is that no program is selected. An active program can be deselected by activating the "Program ON" soft key (PROGRAM mode). The "Accept" soft key is then no longer available in the single cycles.

When generating an EasyStep program, each single cycle/individual element is created as a separate step in a machining chain (step chain) by "accepting" the parameters.

Each step is stored on one line and consists of the entered parameterization data with the associated element-specific icon. The completed machining sequence can be modified later. Once all the machining sequence parameters have been set, the NC start key can be pressed to execute the sequence. Under the Directory menu, PROGRAM mode offers a program management facility in which you can store the machining sequences you have created.

2.5 Operating system

2.5.1 Operating modes

MANUAL

"Manual" mode in this case means conventional feed mode travel for longitudinal and taper turning and as well as facing. The travel direction is determined by the position of the control stick. The reference points of the machine can also be approached in this mode.

STRAIGHT

Longitudinal turning and facing with automatic shutdown on arrival at the specified target position. The C axis can also be traversed in this mode.

TAPER

Taper turning; the taper can be defined in three different ways. The C axis can also be traversed in this mode.

CIRCLE

Radius machining; circular movements can be defined in three different ways.

CYCLE

The CYCLE machining mode provides you with DIN-based cycles for threads, undercuts and drilling operations in the form of simple parameterization displays. The machine manufacturer may have added other special customized cycles to this group. The program management function allows you to store your thread and thread undercuts and call them up again whenever you need them.

STOCK REMOVAL

Stock removal mode allows machining operations based on special stock removal and grooving cycles. The machine manufacturer may also incorporate special customized cycles.

CONTOUR

In CONTOUR mode you can create and cut free contours, as well as remove residual material. With the program management function you can store contours and call them up again whenever you need them.
