Page 44 1.1 Introduction Frequently recurring machining cycles that comprise several working steps are stored in the TNC memory as standard cycles. Coordinate transformations and several special functions are also available as cycles. Most cycles use Q parameters as transfer parameters. Parameters with specific functions that are required in several cycles always have the same number: For example, Q200 is always assigned the setup clearance, Q202 the plunging depth, etc.
Page 45 Special cycles such as dwell time, program call, oriented spindle stop and tolerance Page 302 If required, switch to machine-specific fixed cycles. These fixed cycles can be integrated by your machine tool builder. HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530...

Page 66: Point Tables
2.4 Point Tables Function You should create a point table whenever you want to run a cycle, or several cycles in sequence, on an irregular point pattern. If you are using drilling cycles, the coordinates of the working plane in the point table represent the hole centers.
Page 67: Hiding Single Points From The Machining Process
In the FADE column of the point table you can specify if the defined point is to be hidden during the machining process. In the table, select the point to be hidden. Select the FADE column. Activate hiding, or Deactivate hiding. HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530...

Page 69: Calling A Cycle In Connection With Point Tables
The TNC interprets the points of the working plane as coordinates of the cycle starting point. If you want to use the coordinate defined in the point table for the spindle axis as the starting point coordinate, you must define the workpiece surface coordinate (Q203) as 0. HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530...

Page 110 Please note while programming: Machine and TNC must be specially prepared by the machine tool builder for use of this cycle.

The machining direction of the thread changes if you execute a thread milling cycle in connection with Cycle 8 MIRRORING in only one axis. HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530...
Page 116 Danger of collision! Always program the same algebraic sign for the infeeds: Cycles comprise several sequences of operation that are independent of each other. The order of precedence according to which the work direction is determined is described with the individual cycles. For example, if you only want to repeat the countersinking process of a cycle, enter 0 for the thread depth.
Page 117 5 After this, the tool departs the contour tangentially and returns to the starting point in the working plane. 6 At the end of the cycle, the TNC retracts the tool at rapid traverse to the setup clearance, or—if programmed—to the 2nd setup clearance. HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530...
Page 118 Please note while programming: Program a positioning block for the starting point (hole center) in the working plane with radius compensation R0. The algebraic sign for the cycle parameter “thread depth” determines the working direction. If you program the thread DEPTH = 0, the cycle will not be executed. The nominal thread diameter is approached in a semi-circle from the center.

Page 250 Characteristics of the fixed cycles The TNC automatically positions the tool to the setup clearance before a cycle. Each level of infeed depth is milled without interruptions since the cutter traverses around islands instead of over them. The radius of “inside corners” can be programmed—the tool keeps moving to prevent surface blemishes at inside corners (this applies for the outermost pass in the Rough-out and Side Finishing cycles).

When the DATUM SHIFT cycle is defined, all coordinate data is based on the new datum. The TNC displays the datum shift in each axis in the additional status display.

Page 276 Please note while programming: Danger of collision! Datums from a datum table are always and exclusively referenced to the current datum (preset). MP7475, which earlier defined whether datums are referenced to the machine datum or the workpiece datum, now serves only as a safety measure. If MP7475 = 1, the TNC outputs an error message if a datum shift is called from a datum table.

There are two ways to determine the position of the working plane: Enter the position of the rotary axes directly.
Page 291 The working plane is always tilted around the active datum. If you use Cycle 19 when M120 is active, the TNC automatically rescinds the radius compensation, which also rescinds the M120 function. Danger of collision!

F=: Traverse speed of the rotary axis during automatic positioning.
Page 293: Positioning The Axes Of Rotation
For manual positioning, always use the rotary axis positions stored in Q parameters Q120 to Q122. Avoid using functions, such as M94 (modulo rotary axes), in order to avoid discrepancies between the actual and nominal positions of rotary axes in multiple definitions. HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530...
Page 294 Automatic positioning of rotary axes If the rotary axes are positioned automatically in Cycle 19: The TNC can position only controlled axes In order for the tilted axes to be positioned, you must enter a feed rate and a setup clearance in addition to the tilting angles, during cycle definition.
Page 295 Positioning movements with straight lines that are referenced to the machine coordinate system (blocks with M91 or M92) can also be executed in a tilted working plane. Constraints: Positioning is without length compensation. Positioning is without machine geometry compensation. Tool radius compensation is not permitted. HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530...
Page 296 Combining coordinate transformation cycles When combining coordinate transformation cycles, always make sure the working plane is swiveled around the active datum. You can program a datum shift before activating Cycle 19. In this case, you are shifting the machine-based coordinate system. If you program a datum shift after having activated Cycle 19, you are shifting the tilted coordinate system.

Page 470: Choice Of Number Of Measuring Points
Choice of number of measuring points To save time you can make a rough optimization with a small number of measuring points (1-2). You then make a fine optimization with a medium number of measuring points (recommended value = 4). Higher numbers of measuring points do not usually improve the results.

Page 494 19.1 Fundamentals Overview The TNC and the machine tool must be set up by the machine tool builder for use of the TT touch probe. Some cycles and functions may not be provided on your machine tool. Refer to your machine tool manual. In conjunction with the TNC’s tool measurement cycles, the tool touch probe enables you to measure tools automatically.

Page 496 MP6507 determines the calculation of the probing feed rate: MP6507=0: The measuring tolerance remains constant regardless of the tool radius. With very large tools, however, the feed rate for probing is reduced to zero. The smaller you set the maximum permissible rotational speed (MP6570) and the permissible tolerance (MP6510), the sooner you will encounter this effect.
