B: Basics

Reference Points of the EMCO

Milling Machines

M = Machine zero point

An unchangeable reference point established by the

machine manufacturer.

Proceeding from this point the entire machine is

measured.

At the same time "M" is the origin of the coordinate

system.

R = Reference point

A position in the machine working area which is

determined exactly by limit switches. The slide posi-

tions are reported to the control by the slides

approaching the "R".

Required after every power failure.

N = Tool mount reference point

Starting point for the measurement of the tools. "N"

lies at a suitable point on the tool holder system and

is established by the machine manufacturer.

W = Workpiece zero point

Starting point for the dimensions in the part program.

Can be freely established by the programmer and

moved as desired within the part program.

Coordinate System

The X coordinate lies parallel to the front edge of the

machine table, the Y coordinate lies parallel to the

side edge of the machine table, the Z coordinate is

vertical to the machine table.

Z coordinate values in minus direction describe

movements of the tool system towards the workpiece,

values in plus direction away from the work piece.

Coordinate System with

Absolute Programming

The origin of the coordinate systemlies in the machine

zero point "M" or after a zero offset in the work piece

zero point "W".

All target points are described from the origin of the

coordinate system by indication of the respective X,

Y and Z distances.

Coordinate System with

Incremental Programming

The origin of the coordinate system lies at the tool

mount reference point "N" or at the tool tip after a tool

call-up.

With incremental programming the actual pathes of

the tool (from point to point) are described.

Zero offset

With EMCO milling machines the machine zero point

"M" lies on the left front edge of the machine table.

This position is unsuitable as a starting point for

dimensioning. With the so-called zero offset the

coordinate system can be moved to a suitable point

in the working area of the machine.
In the Operating Area Parameter - Zero Offsets are

four adjustable zero offsets available.
When you define a value in the offset register, this

value will be considered with call up in program (G54

- G57) and the coordinate zero point will be shifted

from the machine zero M to the workpiece zero W.
The workpiece zero point can be shifted within a

program in any number.

More informations see in the command description.

Tool Data Measuring

Aim of the tool data measuring:

The CNC should use the tool tip resp. the tool centre

at the face end for positioning, not the tool mount

reference point.
Every tool which is used for machining has to be

measured. The distance "N" between tool tip and tool

mount reference point is to be measured.
To every of this distances a H-parameter in the offset

(max.32), but has to be considered with tool call in

program.

The length corrections can be measured half-

automatically, the

cutter radius

has to be inserted

manually as H-parameter.

Inserting the cutter radius is

only

necessary for using

cutter radius compensation

with this tool.

For G17 (XY plane active):

Tool data measuring (GEOMETRIE) occurs for

Z absolute from point "N"

R radius of the cutter

For all other active planes always the vertical axis to

the plane is computed. In the following the normal

case G17 is described.

Tool Data Measuring by Scraping

Procedure

Clamp a workpiece in the working area. The

measuring point has to be reachable with the tool

mount reference point and with all tools to be

measured.

The tool mount reference point of the EMCO PC

MILL 100/125/155 is on the reference tool

(clamp before).

Select the JOG mode

Place a thin sheet of paper between work piece

and milling spindle.

Traverse with the tool mount reference point on

the workpiece (standing spindle)

Reduce feed to 1%

Traverse with the spindle (tool mount reference

point) down to the workpiece, so far that the paper

still can be moved.

C: Operating Sequences

Survey Operating Modes

REF

In this operating mode the reference point will be

approached.

With reaching the reference point the actual position

display is set to the value of the reference point

coordinates. By that the control acknowledges the

position of the slides in the working area.

With the following situations the reference point has

to be approached::

After switching on the machine

After mains interruption

After alarm "Approach reference point" or "Ref.

point not reached"

After collisions or if the slides stucked because of

overload

MEM

For working off a part program the control calls up

block after block and interprets them.

The interpretation considers all correction which are

called up by the program.

The so-handled blocks will be worked off one by one.

EDIT

In the EDIT mode you can enter part programs and

transmit data.

MDI

In the MDI mode you can switch on the spindle and

swivel the tool holder.

The control works off the entered block and deletes

the intermediate store for new inputs..

Approach the Reference Point

By approaching the reference point the control will be

synchronized to the machine.

Danger of Collisions

Mind for obstacles in the working area (Clamping

devices, clamped work pieces, etc.)

After reaching the reference point its position will be

displayed as actual position. Now the machine is

synchronized to the control.

Setting of Language and

Workpiece Directory

In the workpiece directory the CNC programs created

by the operator will be stored.

The workpiece directory is a subdirectory of the

program directory which was determined with

installation.

Enter in the input field PROGRAM PATH the name of

the workpiece directory with the PC keyboard, max.

8 characters, no drives or pathes. Not existing

directories will be created.

Active Language

Selection from installed languages, the selected

language will be activated with restart of the

software.
