Defining Machining Operations - HEIDENHAIN ITNC 530 - PILOT SMART NC Manual

Defining Machining Operations

Fundamentals
Machining operations are basically defined in smarT.NC as machining
steps (units), which as a rule consist of several programming blocks in
conversational format. smarT.NC automatically creates the
conversational blocks in the background in an .HU file (HU: HEIDENHAIN
Unit program), which looks just like a normal program in conversational
format.
The actual machining operation is performed by a cycle available on the
TNC. You specify the parameters via the input fields on the forms.
You can define a machining step with just a few entries in the overview
form 1, (see figure at top right). smarT.NC then performs the operation
with basic functions. Detail forms (2) are available for entering additional
machining data. Values entered in the detail forms are automatically
synchronized with the data entered in the overview form, so you don't
have to enter them twice. The following detail forms are available:
Tool detail form (3)
On the tool detail form you can enter additional tool-specific data, such
as delta values for the length and radius, or M functions.
