Page 5 Section 2 Basic aspects Notes 2. 1 Cycles Cycles are sub-programs (technology-orientated functions) for the execu- tion of a repeatedly occurring operation on a work piece. Cycles can be selected comfortably via Softkeys and can simply be Para- metered by means of input masks. Programmed cycles are inserted in G-Code or step-chain-programs as a program step and can be re-selected and newly set by parameter at any time.

Page 39 Section 2 Layout of a CNC-program Notes A CNC-program, also known as part program, consists of a logical se- quence of commands, which are executed step-by-step by the control unit after the program has been started. The manufacturers of control units recognize and apply the guidelines as per DIN 66025.
Page 40 Section 3 Programming of the technological data Notes Before every technological working step in a CNC-Program the respective tool must be selected by means of the addresses “T” and “D”. The address “T” is followed by the name of the tool, which may be stated either with numbers or letters.
Page 41 Section 4 Switching commands Notes There are different commands to control the direction of rotation of the work spindle. There could be some more additional commands for the additional func- tions like cooling circuits, clamping devices, auxiliary functions and running of the program.
Page 42 Section 5 Programmable presettings Notes When starting a part program the basic settings as defined by the manu- facturer will be activated. These depend on the individual machine specifi- cation and apply thereafter for the whole of the program run (modal) unless they are changed by the operator by programming.
Page 43 Section 5 Programmable presettings Notes The continuous path behaviour "Exact stop" with the Codes G09 or G60 respectively does not entirely ensure dimension-wise as to how precisely a corner point between two positioning blocks is attained. If an exact stop has been activated in a program, the codes described be- low can be used to specify a very precise braking behaviour at the end of blocks.
Page 44 Section 5 Programmable presettings Notes There is yet another means of influencing the continuous path behaviour by changing-over to the next positioning block depending on the pro- grammed path velocity of the tool. Change-over when the command position„ is reached Code G603.

Page 49 Section 2 Right hand rule Notes Explanation: According to DIN standard the various axes of motion within work space of CNC machines are addressed by alphabets. The machine coordinate system that is derived from the DIN-standard be- comes extremely important for the geometrical description of work pieces which allows us to clearly determine the points in a plane or in space.
Page 50 Section 3 Defining of axis within a workspace Notes Explanation as per DIN 66217 or ISO 841: Defining only three axes is however not enough in comparison with mod- ern machine tools. For instance if the milling head of a milling machine is to be swivelled by a certain angle or the quill of a tailstock is to be moved, a further defining of these axes is required.
Page 51 Section 4 Points and distances within the work space Notes Explanation: For the determination of all points within the work space, the control unit requires a zero point of the coordinate system. This has been determined by the machine manufacturer. All other points have either fixed distances from the machine zero point or else the distance must be defined.
Page 52 Section 4 Points and distances within the work space Notes Distances from the reference point to the machine zero point. These are set by the machine manufac- turer during commissioning and are transferred to the control unit when the reference point is reached. These represent distances from the machine zero XMW = point to the work piece zero point.
Page 53 Section 5 Programming planes Notes Continuous path control units can control slides and tool carriers simulta- neously along 2 or more axes at a programmed feed rate. For this the speed of the individual drives must be matched to one another. This job is taken over by the interpolator of the CNC-control unit.

Page 57 Section 2 Absolute and incremental dimensioning, mixed programming Notes 2. 1 Absolute dimensioning When writing CNC-Programs a fundamental differentiation must be made between absolute and incremental coordinates. Which of the two options the programmer chooses depends on the usage of the program and the dimensioning on the drawing. Absolute dimensioning: Code G90 All dimensions always refer to the active work piece zero point.
Page 58 Section 2 Absolute and incremental dimensioning, mixed programming Notes 2.2 Incremental dimensioning Code G91 (also known as chain dimensioning). All position statements refer to the current starting position of the tool. The programmed value states the coordinate distance, by which the tool is to traverse during the ensuing machining step.
Page 59 Section 2 Absolute and incremental dimensioning, mixed programming Notes 2.3 Mixed Programming As already mentioned, the destination point coordinates can be stated in the program for all types of interpolation as absolute or incremental values respectively. Depending on the presently activated status (G90 or G91), all further coor- dinate values will also be in this sort of dimensioning.
Page 60 Section 3 Rapid traverse motion Notes Code G00 Rapid traverse is used for the quickest possible repositioning of the tool to the contour element or, for instance, for moving the tool to the tool chang- ing position. The highest possible speed along a straight line that the machine is capa- ble of attaining is used, however, no machining is possible here.
Page 61 Section 4 Rapid traverse motion Notes 4.1 Straight line interpolation Code G01 The straight line interpolation is used to move the tool with an exactly de- fined speed along a straight line from the current position to the pro- grammed destination point. All axes can be traversed simultaneously, in which case the resulting line of motion can lie anywhere at an angle within the working space.
Page 62 Section 4 Straight line interpolation Notes 4.2 Straight line interpolation with mixed programming The example shown below describes the milling of the slot with mixed cordinates input. Program blocks such as the call-up of the tool etc., which have already been dealt with, will not be repeated.
Page 63 Section 5 Circular interpolation Notes 5.1 Circular interpolation Code G02 (clockwise) Code G03 (anti-clockwise) A circular interpolation permits the traversing of the tool with a defined speed along a circular path from the present start point to the programmed destination point. Apart from the destination point coordinates, the control unit also needs statements about the sense of rotation and the centre of the circle.
Page 64 Section 5 Circular interpolation Notes 5.2 Circular interpolation with mixed programming Particularly the incremental statement of the centre of the circle usually represents some difficulties to the operator in practice, since it must often be evaluated using triangle calculations. This is a prime example of where the mixed coordinate programming of the interpolation parameters in absolute dimensions comes in useful.
Page 65 Section 5 Circular interpolation Notes 5.3 Circular interpolations before and behind the turning axis The sketch below shows once again the principle of direction programming of circular interpolations. Code G02: Circular arc clockwise Code G03: Circular arc anti-clockwise The following sketch shows the circular arc orientation on turning ma- chines with different tool arrangements due to the machine layout.

Page 71 Section 2 Types of angles Notes 2.1 Basic principles of coordinate evaluation Almost all of the contours encountered with the machining of metals can be reduced to a combination of straights and circular arcs. For programming, the respective endpoint of the contour element must be known.
Page 72 Section 3 The Pythagorean theorem Notes The right angled triangle has a special meaning in geometry, since the sides of such a triangle exhibit a definite relationship to one another. The various sides of the right angled triangle are named specifically: The longest line opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.
Page 73 Section 4 Trigonometrical functions Notes The trigonometrical ratios describe the relationships between the angles and the sides in a right angled triangle. With the aid of these trigonometri- cal functions it is possible to calculate both angles and sides in a right an- gled triangle.

Page 81 Section 2 Position of the machine zero point Notes All axis motions on a CNC-machine tool are referred to the right-hand car- tesian coordinate system. Note: See also module B502 - “Geometry basics”. The entire path measuring system is initialized by approaching the refer- ence point with all axes.
Page 82 Section 3 Zero point offset G54 Notes For machining the work piece the work piece coordinate system (WCS) is available on the machine. This can be freely chosen by the operator depending on the manufacturing conditions or according to the usual workshop practice. By this the machine zero point is offset by a defined distance, thus obtain- ing a work piece zero point that is directly referred to the item to be ma- chined.
Page 83 Section 4 Further zero point offsets Notes For the efficient production of parts it is often sensible to provide several work piece zero points. The control unit manufacturer provides for up to 99 selectable zero point offsets. Note: Depending on the machine parameters this number can be set differently. Please refer to the machines manual regarding the exact number of avail- able zero points.
Page 84 Section 5 Tool changing point Notes The indexing of the tool turret must always take place at a collision-proof point within the work space of the turning machine. For this the tool carrier is generally retracted well back into the positive range of the work space (Please take into account the real traverse ranges of your machine;...
Page 85 Section 5 Tool changing point Notes In order to approach a tool changing point that is independent of the length of the tool and the presently active zero point offset, the following condi- tions must be programmed: Switching OFF of all the active offsets or manipulations of the coordinate system Code SUPA (operative block-by-...

Page 91 Section 2 Basic principles of programming Notes Certain principles should be followed during the creation of part pro- grams.

Page 93 Section 4 Program structure of a machining sequence Notes The programming of the machining sequence can be achieved by means of description of the individual steps using departure commands (e.g. G00, G01, G02, etc.) or by means of machining cycles. The following representation refers to the flow chart in Section 3 of this manual and describes a possible machining sequence.
Page 94 Section 5 Settings at the start of a program Notes For the user it may be advantageous to switch on certain settings, that are to be activated in the part program, already in the program heading. If necessary, these modally operative commands can always be reset by other commands at any stage during the program.

Page 105 Section 3 Chamfering of contour corners Notes For a defined breaking of the edges as a chamfer between linear and cir- cular contours the control provides a variety of means. It is only necessary to program the points of intersection of the contour without any chamfers (see illustration below, P1 - P3).
Page 106 Section 4 Chamfering of contour corners Notes The defined rounding of the contour corners between linear and circular contours in any combination can be carried out very comfortably. Only the points of intersection of the contour elements have to be pro- grammed.

This can then be called at any point in the main program file. The subprogram technique can be used to its advantages if there exists already a turned part and the programmer needs to complete this work- piece.
Page 112 Section 3 Contour programming of a turned item Notes The contour of the depicted turned item “Plug” is to be programmed as an example. Plug Guide lines for contour programming of a turned item: In the subprogram only the complete geometrical contour sequence of the work piece will be described, beginning at the selected starting point.
Page 113 Section 3 Contour programming of a turned item Notes Preliminary note: Since the entire production of the plug is not the subject of this document, only the contour sequence without any threads and grooves will be dealt with. Contours of grooves, under-cuts etc are not integrated into the contour se- quence of a subprogram;...
Page 114 Section 4 Finishing with subprogram call-up Notes The finishing of contours on the turned item can either be accomplished by direct call-up of the contour subprogram or with the support of cycles. The purpose of this document is particularly the variant of a direct call-up. Note For the sake of argument it is assumed that the work piece is already loaded in the chuck on the finished diameter 70 mm and that the contour...
Page 115 Section 5 Summary Notes With the subprogram technique any repeatable contour elements of the work piece or special technological machining sequences can be pro- grammed very effectively. A subprogram can be called up by any program and can be executed any number of times.

Page 119 Section 2 Program jumps and deletion blocks Notes 2.1 Program jumps In practice it is often necessary to interrupt the block-by-block execution of the program and to jump to another part of the program. Certain number of blocks should not be executed by the control unit for instance when testing a program.
Page 120 Section 2 Program jumps and deletion blocks Notes 2.2 Deletion blocks There is a further way of optionally including or excluding certain parts of the program by excluding explicitly marked blocks. The program blocks intended for optional exclusion are marked simply by a preceding / (slash).
Page 121 Section 2 Program jumps and deletion blocks Notes The following example is used to illustrate the usage of optional blocks: Studs with a thread size M24 are to be produced, some of which have a thread relief as per DIN 76-A. You will now create a single program and manipulate the machining using the optional block technique.
Page 122 Section 3 Repetitions of parts of the program Notes If a certain number of NC-blocks is to be repeated at another part of the program, the instruction REPEAT is available. The instruction requires a start marker as a jump destination. An end marker can possibly be included for clarity.
Page 123 Section 3 Repetitions of parts of the program Notes Example with end label and multiple repeat: N80 G00 X80; Raw dimension N90 LBL12: N100 G00 G42 X=IC(-4) Z1 N110 G01 Z-20 Repetition N120 X=IC(6) N130 G00 G40 Z4 4 times N140 G01 X=IC(-6) N150 EBE12: N160 G00 X200 Z300...
Page 124 Section 4 Calculation variables R Notes Calculation variables provide a large number of means for flexible pro- gramming of the numerical values of instructions. In the program no actual values are assigned to the addresses; instead variables numbers are assigned to which the respective values have been assigned previously.
Page 125 Section 4 Calculation variables R Notes Value assignmentmanually: (via variable list) The “R-variables”-window can be accessed via: 1. Press the button “MENU SELECT” on the operator panel (OP). 2. The yellow horizontal and vertikal softkeybar appears. 3. Press the yellow HSK 2 “Parameter”. 4.
Page 126 Section 4 Calculation variables R Notes Value assignment by means of calculation operations: The use of calculation variables and their linkage in mathematical functions provides many means in programming. Since the control evaluates a certain number of blocks in advance, errors can creep in when mathematical operations are carried out.
Page 127 Section 5 Program loops Notes Contrary to the “REPEAT” command “GOTOB/GOTOF“ provides the pro- grammer with greater flexibility. GOTOB/GOTOF can be used along with conditional statements. If a condition is satisfied, a certain sections of the program will be re- peated.
Page 128 Section 6 Programmable messages Notes Certain information that appears on the display while programs are being executed could be of special interest to the operator of the machine. With the code MSG(“character chain“) a message can be programmed such that it will appear on the screen while the program progresses. Example: N10 G18 G54 G64 LIMS=3000 N20 G00 X200 Z300...

Page 135 Section 3 Offset of the coordinate system Notes The manufacture of washers from a bar is taken as a programming exam- ple. In order to reduce the clamping times, three washers are to be ma- chined in one setting after which the bar is to be pushed forward and the program repeated.
Page 136 Section 4 Scaling of the coordinate system Notes In certain cases it may be important to alter the scale of the coordinate system. With this feature geometrically similar shapes of work piece can be pro- grammed in various sizes, e. g. groups of parts or pattern construction with different contraction allowances.
