SELECTING FIGURES

In usual case, entering a cycle motion block displays continuously

the following figure menu exclusively used for the already entered

cycle machining.

(Example of figure menu for pocketing)

The cycle figure menu window is divided into two sections, one

section for selecting figure and the other for subprogram.

(Example of tab for pocketing)

POCKET FIG

SUBPROGRAM

When the figure selection window is selected, the characters of the tab

are displayed in blue. Select a desired figure by moving the cursor

with the cursor keys ↑ and ↓.

SELECT

CANCEL

Pressing [SELECT] displays a data entry window for the selected

figure.

There are 2 types of figures used for cycle machining, fixed form

figure and free form figure.

The former one is predefined figure such as square and circle, and can

be specified by entering minimum data such as side length or circle

radius.

The later one is specified by entering figures by line or arc along the

figures written on a blue print one by one.

Pressing the → cursor key displays the menu window of subprogram

and the character in the selected tab is displayed in blue.

If some figure blocks were created as subprogram in advance, the

subprogram number and name are displayed in the subprogram menu,

and suitable subprogram can be selected by placing the cursor on it.

Pressing

[SELECT] create the block for calling the selected

subprogram as “M98 Pxxxx ;” in the actual part program.

It is specified by program number to be displayed in the subprogram

menu or not.

For turning cycle machining figure, the minimum and maximum

program number of the programs should be used as the subprogram

are set in the parameter No.14720

(TFIGSNO) and No.14721

(TFIGENO).

For milling cycle machining figure, the minimum and maximum

program number of the programs should be used as the subprogram

are set in the parameter No.14722

(MFIGSNO) and No.14723

(MFIGENO).

Subprogram whose number is within these range is displayed in the

subprogram menu for turning or milling cycle figure.

Over 2 figure blocks can be specified continuously for one cycle

machining block. If adding another figure block to the part program in

which cycle machining block and figure block were already inserted,

press [FIGURE] in the soft-keys of program screen and make the

figure menu window display.

But, in this case, all figure menus for all kind of cycle machining are

displayed in one screen. This is different from the figure menu

displayed at the time some cycle machining block is inserted.

1 More than one figure can be entered in succession

for a single cycle machining type.

Cycle machining is executed for each of the

specified figures sequentially.

2 An ordinary ISO code block can be entered

between cycle machining and figure blocks. If this

is done, no machining operation takes place in the

cycle machining block. Instead, the ISO code block

entered before the figure block is executed. Cycle

machining is executed only in the figure block after

the ISO code block has been executed.

It is possible to enter arbitrary figures consisting of circles and straight

lines (contour programs), which are different from cycle machining.

Pressing [G-CONT] displays the same window as for the arbitrary

figure data described earlier. After performing the same operations to

enter figures, write them to the last machining program.

In this case, a G01/G02/G03 program in ISO code format is created.

NOTE

See Chapter 5, "Detailed Descriptions about

Entering Arbitrary Figures," for descriptions about

data entered for contour programs.

Arbitrary Figures for the XY Plane

Arbitrary figures in the XY plane can be used in the following types

of milling.

1. Facing

2. Contouring (Side cutting)

3. Pocketing

4. Grooving

5. Emboss machining

NOTE

1 See Chapter 1, "Milling," in Part III for detailed

descriptions about data to be entered for each type

of cycle machining.

2 When entering an arbitrary figure for pocketing,

make its end point coincide with its start point. To

put another way, combine parts figures with blank

figures in such a way that a closed curve is

created.

Pocketing is carried out in this closed curve.

3 It is possible to specify "PART" and "BLANK" as

"ELEMENT TYPE" for an individual arbitrary figure.

If a pocket is open in part, this "BLANK" can be

used to enter an arbitrary figure resembling a blank

figure for the open portion, thus carrying out

optimum pocketing.
