Page 19 Review This chapter does not aim to reflect the way an operator actually uses his machine. Rather, it attempts to explain certain basic notions which will be referred to in this manual. For example, in paragraph 1.2.4 (definition of shifts), the aim is not to impose a method of measuring shifts, but simply to provide a definition of shifts and the corresponding zero points.
Page 20 1.1.3 Preparing a Programme A part programme can be created by traditional programming or using a CAD/CAM system. Part Machining Programme instructions 1 - 4 en-938821/2...
Page 21 Review Machine Overview 1.2.1 Review of Axis Definition and Direction A coordinate system is used to identify the positions and movements of an object with respect to an origin or zero point. A rectangular cartesian coordinate system is a right-handed three-axis system of three linear axes, X, Y and Z, with which are associated three rotary axes, A, B and C.
Page 22 1.2.2 Machine Overview The manufacturer defines the coordinate system associated with the machine in accordance with standard ISO 841 (or NF Z68-020). The X, Y and Z axes, parallel to the machine slideways, form a right-handed rectangular cartesian coordinate system. The coordinate system measures tool movements with respect to the part to be machined, assumed fixed.
Page 23 Review 1.2.3 Definition of Travels and Origins The NC processor computes all movements with respect to the measurement origin or zero point of the machine. When the system is turned on, it does not know the measurement origin. The mechanical travel on each machine axis is limited by maximum and minimum limit switches.
Page 24 When homing (MOS) is completed, the system applies the shift defined by the manufacturer to each of the axes to establish the measurement origin (OM). Measurement origin shift (Om/OM) = ORPOM The useful travel on each axis is limited by software limits whose values are defined by the manufacturer. Volume accessible during origin setting...
Page 25 Review 1.2.4 Definition of Shifts To write a part programme, the programmer chooses a programme origin. The programme origin is generally a starting point for dimensional measurements on the part drawing. OP : The operator sets the programme origin (OP) as shown below: He sets (for each axis) a known, accessible point on the part, called the part origin (Op).

Page 27 Review The coordinates of any point (A) defined with respect to the programme origin (OP) are converted by the CNC into coordinates with respect to the measurement origin (OM): Y MA Y PA Y DAT2 Y DAT1 Programme dimensions Measurement dimensions (with respect to OP) (with respect to OM) + X DAT1 + X DAT2...
Page 28 Special Case of Milling Machines Equipped with Rotary Tables This concept of part origin only applies to the two axes affected by rotation. The centre of rotation of the table (OC) has a particular role. Offset of the centre of rotation (OC/OM) = DAT1 (axes affected by rotation) Offcentring of the part (OP/OC) = DAT3 (axes affected by rotation)
Page 29 Review The position of any point (A) defined with respect to the programme origin (OP) is converted by the CNC into coordinates with respect to the measurement origin (OM): B' = –B Z MA Z PA ∆ Z Z DAT1 (+ Z DAT2) Programme coordinates Measurement coordinates (with respect to OP)

Page 31 Review 1.2.6 Definition of Tool Wear Offsets At any time (even during machining), the operator can enter tool wear offsets when he observes a difference between the expected and the actual results on a part. The offsets (positive or negative) compensate for slight dimensional variations of the tool or part (wear, expansion). Tool radius wear offset = DR Tool length wear offset = DL C + ∆C...

Page 134 5.2.1.2 Part Origin Shift Introduction By bringing the spindle into contact with the part, this procedure enables the CNC to measure the part origin shifts (DAT1) directly. When a setting piece is inserted between the spindle and the part, this method can still be used, but the part origin shift values must be modified via the keyboard to take into account the dimensions of the setting piece.
Page 135 CNC Operation Example: The following values: Y DAT1 displayed = - 307.783 Op/spindle datum shift = + 5 (test bar dia. 10), give: Real Y DAT1 = - 302.783 Enter Y -302.783. The real YDAT1: -302.783. 5.2.1.3 Input of Part Origin Shifts via the Keyboard When the part origin shifts or center of turntable shifts (DAT1) are known, they can be directly entered into the system via the keyboard.
Page 136 5.2.1.5 Input of Programme Origin Eccentricity Values Eccentricity values (DAT3 for milling machines fitted with an index table) are entered via the keyboard. Shift DAT3 must be entered for both axes concerned by index table rotation. After entry, these two axes are marked *. Requirements No mode being executed.

Page 171: Operator Interventions
CNC Operation Operator Interventions During execution of a programme, two types of interventions may be required of the operator: unplanned intervention when a machining incident has occurred, or programmed intervention when a manual operation is required for the programme to continue. 5.5.1 Unplanned Interventions Unplanned interventions are initiated by the operator.
Page 172 5.5.1.3 Manual Axis Recall The axis recall function supplements interruption of machining (see 5.5.1.1). It is used to return the toolhead to its position prior to retraction (see 5.5.1.2) using the axis jogs or handwheels. The axes must be stopped when the jog mode (FREE or HANDWH) is selected.
Page 173 CNC Operation Notes on Automatic Axis Recall Axis recall after retraction by handwheels Caution: After retraction of the axes by the handwheels, automatic axis recall is enabled, but in this case, the axes may be recalled in any order. It is therefore not recommended to use this mode if the number of points stored in word N2 of machine parameter P114 is different from zero (see Parameter Manual).

Page 193: Part Programme Operations In Background Mode
CNC Operation Part Programme Operations in Background Mode The operations for processing programmes (loading, unloading, editing) use specific CNC modes. Since these modes are mutually exclusive, operations on programmes prevent the use of another mode and particularly machining modes. To avoid this problem and the consequent loss of time, the CNC includes functions which enable operations on programmes to be performed in background mode while automatic, single, dry run or manual modes are being executed.
