SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.2
GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
To ensure safety while using a machine featuring the MANUAL
GUIDE i function, observe the following precautions:
WARNING
1
Confirm, on the screen, that the data has been entered
correctly before proceeding to the next operation.
Attempting operation with incorrect data may cause the
tool to strike the workpiece or machine, possibly
breaking the tool or machine or injuring the operator.
2
Before starting the machine using the tool compensation
function, carefully determine the direction of
compensation and the compensation value, and ensure
that the tool will not strike the workpiece or machine.
Otherwise the tool or machine may be damaged or the
operator may be injured.
3
When using constant surface speed control, set the
maximum rotating speed of the spindle to a value that is
allowed for the workpiece and workpiece hold unit.
Otherwise, the workpiece or hold unit may be removed
by centrifugal force to damage the tool machine or injure
the operator.
4
Set all necessary parameters and data items before
starting MANUAL GUIDE i operations. Note that if the
cutting conditions are not suitable for the workpiece, the
tool may be damaged or the operator may be injured.
5
After creating a machining program using MANUAL
GUIDE i functions, do no run the machine on that
program immediately. Instead, confirm every step of the
resultant program, and make sure that the tool path and
machining operation are correct and that the tool will not
strike the workpiece or machine. Before starting
production machining, run the machine with no
workpiece attached to the machine to make sure that the
tool will not strike a workpiece or the machine. If the tool
strikes the machine and/or work-piece, the tool and/or
machine may be damaged, and even injuries the
operator.
CAUTION
After pressing the power-on button, do not touch any
keys on the keyboard until the initial screen appears.
Some keys are used for maintenance or special
operations such that pressing such a key may cause an
unexpected operation.

OVERVIEW OF THIS MANUAL
This manual describes the functions of "MANUAL GUIDE i" for the
Series
16i/18i/21i-MODEL B or Series
30i-MODEL A and the
MANUAL GUIDE i simulator for the personal computer.
For other functions, refer to the operator’s manual for the Series
16i/18i/21i-MODEL B or Series 30i-MODEL A.
The specifications and usage of MANUAL GUIDE i may vary
according to the specifications of the operator’s panel of a machine
tool. Be sure to read the manual provided by the machine tool builder.
The functions of the CNC machine tool system are determined not
only by the CNC, but by the combination of the machine tool, the
power magnetic circuit in the machine tool, the servo system, the CNC,
and the operator’s panel.
It is impossible to cover all possible combinations of all functions,
programming methods, and operations in a single manual.
This manual explains only the MANUAL GUIDE i operations
provided for the CNC. For individual CNC machine tools, refer to
applicable manuals from the machine tool builders.
This manual explains as many detailed functions as possible. However,
it is not possible to describe all of the items which cannot be done or
which the operator must not do. Therefore, please assume that
functions other than those described in this manual cannot be
performed.
Detailed information and special conditions are explained in notes.
The readers may encounter new technical terms in the notes not
previously defined or described. In this case, read this manual through
first, then review the details.
NOTE
MANUAL GUIDE i has options for supporting
milling and turning cycles, animated simulation, and
set-up guidance. This manual covers these
functions assuming that your machine has all these
functions. However, your machine may not actually
be provided with some of these functions.
Refer to the manual published by the machine tool
builder of your machine for details.

How to modify part of cycle machining motions
While cycle machining which can be used in MANUAL GUIDE i can
create the actual machining motions automatically by using entered
cycle data, modifying part of the created machining motions cannot be
done.
However, there is a case that part of created machining motions
should be modified for more effective machining.
In this case, converting the cycle machining block to standard ISO
code NC part program, motion blocks which are made up with
G00/G01/G02/G03 and so on, is available.
The converted motion blocks are corresponded to each machining
motion, so by modifying part of converted blocks, the actual
machining motion can be changed.
NOTE
Hole machining and threading cycles are converted
to canned cycles, so the detailed motions executed
in a canned cycle cannot be changed.
As for NC program conversion operation, refer to the following part.
•
Operations of NC program conversion
II 12 NC PROGRAM CONVERSION FUNCTION
How to conserve part program and tool data
In order to use part program and tool data again later, these data can
be conserved by outputting to memory card.
As for operations of outputting and inputting these data to and from
memory card, refer to the following part.
•
Outputting and inputting of part program and tool data
II 17 MEMORY CARD INPUT/OUTPUT FUNCTION:
In addition to the operations of outputting and inputting of
part program and tool data, screen hard copy operations for
MANUAL GUIDE i is explained.
How to operate more quickly
Almost all operations of MANUAL GUIDE i use soft-key excepting
numeric data entering. However, if you are inured to MANUAL
GUIDE i operations, you may feel you can operate more quickly if
you use other key instead of soft-key one by one. This substitute key
operation is called short cut key.
