Transferring cycles to the machining plan

Sample cycles
Sample cycles –
linking "bar
loader"
10-158
You can transfer all user cycles that you have inserted in the Program operating
area (including measuring cycles) to the work plan and edit them there. How-
ever, the cycles will not be displayed as programming graphics.
Use the "operator interface extension" software to define the cycle. Please note
that the cycle must contain the Generate Code (GC) function and an OUTPUT
method for NC code to be generated and sent to the NC for execution.
If you call and validate the cycle on the ShopTurn user interface, the cycle will
automatically appear in the work plan. The screen form name of the cycle will
appear in the machining plan as plain text.
Sample cycles are available for the following applications:
S
Tail stock (TAILSTOK)
S
Part gripper (RECEPTAC)
S
Bar loader (BARLOAD)
If you want to use these cycles, adapt them to the characteristics of your machine.
Directory CYCLES\SC\PROG\TEMPLATES contains the archive file EQUIP-
MENT.ARC which lists the cycles and operator interfaces. The associated texts
are imported together with the alarm texts when you install ShopTurn.
A readme file with information about how to install is also located in the same
directory as the archive file.
The cycles for tail stock, part gripper, and bar loader can be seen in the Pro-
gram operating area under Miscellaneous ––> Device. You will also find the tail
stock cycle in Manual mode (horizontal softkey 8).
The "bar loader" cycle can be linked with a cut–off or stock removal cycle; (see
Sample cycle).
Note
If you want to use the sample cycle for bar loader, you must not change its
name ("BARLOAD").
