- Drawing of a tool

In animation drawing, not only a blank figure but also a tool figure is
drawn in three dimensions.

NOTE

The following function is necessary to draw in the
tool figure.
- Tool geometry size data 100/300 pairs

Figure data

For tool figure drawing, the following data is used:

•

Tool geometry size data 100/300 pairs

•

Tool compensation data (tool-nose radius compensation value,
virtual tool tip direction, cutter compensation value)

•

Parameters

The table below indicates the drawable types of tools and figure data
of each type of tool.

NOTE

In lathes system, the round-nose tool and milling

function is provided.

Timing of drawing

If a code indicated below is specified during drawing execution, a tool
figure is drawn according to the tool geometry size data that has the
same number as the code.

•

With a lathe system
T code command
If three numbers, namely, a tool number, tool geometry offset
number, and tool wear offset number, are specified in a T code,
the tool geometry size data that has the same number as the tool
geometry offset number is obtained.

NOTE

When the tool management function is
provided, a tool offset is specified with a D
code. So, the tool geometry size data that has
the offset number indicated by the D code is
obtained.

•

With a machining center system
D code command

If the tool geometry size data corresponding to a specified number
does not exist or the tool geometry size data is not set correctly, tool
drawing is disabled with the warning "ILLEGAL SETTING OF
TOOL FIGURE DATA".

Programmable Data Input (G10) for Blank Figure Drawing

Parameters

Overview

Each of the drawing parameters for a blank figure, a position, and
dimensions that are for the automatic scaling of the drawing areas of
tool path drawing and animation drawing with the dynamic graphic
display function can be set with an NC program, using the
programmable data input command (G10 command).

Format

G10 L90 P_

_ I_ J_ K_ ;

P_ :

Blank

figure

: Addresses of the basic three axes and the

reference position of a blank

I_,J_,K_ : Dimensions of a blank

NOTE

1 This command is enabled only during the execution

of drawing. It is ignored during normal automatic
operation.

2 This command is a one-shot G code.
3 This command must be specified in a single block.

Explanation

- Blank figure (P_)

Specify the type of a blank figure with either of the following settings
for shapes.

Setting Figure

Column or cylinder

(parallel with the Z-axis)

1 Rectangular

parallelepiped

The specified value is set in parameter No. 11343.

- Reference position of a blank (

Specify the reference position of a blank with coordinates (X,Y,Z) in
the workpiece coordinate system.

NOTE

Specify the reference position of a blank with
coordinates (X,Y,Z) in the machine coordinate
system in case of bit 3 (BGM) of parameter
No.11329=1.

The specified value is set in parameter No. 11344.

The specified value are set in parameter No.11345 (address I),
parameter No.11346 (address J), and parameter No.11347 (address K).

- Relationship between the position and dimensions of a blank

The relationship between the position and dimensions of a blank is
shown in the figure below.

: Reference position (X,Y,Z)

- Operation to be performed when this command is issued

When this command is executed in the background operation, the
specified values are set in the drawing parameters for the blank figure,
reference position, and dimensions that correspond to the specified
arguments, and the drawing area is automatically set again with the
values set.
This causes this command and subsequent commands to perform
drawing in the new drawing area.

NOTE

Before this command, drawing is performed as
described below.

- The tool path is erased.
- In animation drawing, the blank figure is

initialized.

- The drawing start position and the tool figure

become ineffective.

Thus, issue this command at the start of a drawing
program.
