BASIC CNC PROGRAMMING (PART 4)

SUB PROGRAM
IT IS PROGRAM MADE WITH ANOTHER PROGRAM NUMBER IN THE MAIN PROGRAM. WHY SUB PROGRAM NEED? IF A PROGRAM CONTAINS A FIXED SEQUENCE OR FREQUENTLY REPEATED PATTERN, SUCH A SEQUENCE OR PATTERN CAN BE STORED AS A SUBPROGRAM IN MEMORY TO SIMPLIFY THE PROGRAM.

SUB PROGRAM CAN BE CALLED FROM THE MAIN *A PROGRAM. CALLED SUBPROGRAM CAN ALSO CALL *A ANOTEHER SUBPROGRAM

WHEN THE MAIN PROGRAM CALLS A SUB PROGRAM, IT IS REGARDED AS A ONELEVEL SUB PROGRAM CALL. THUS, SUB PROGRAM CALLS CAN BE NESTED UP TO FOUR LEVELS.

HOW TO RESTART MACHINING IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE

1.SWITCH ON MAIN POWER SUPLLY. 2.SWITCH ON NC . 3.WAIT TILL GETTING DISPLY ON CRT. 4.RELEASE EMERGECNY SWITCH. 5.PRESS MASTER ON BUTTON. 6.SELECT SELECTOR SWITCH TO MANUAL MODE.

7.PRESS JOG BUTTON ON OPERATOR PANEL.

8.OPEN SLIDING DOOR BY PRESSING DOOR OPEN PUSH BUTTON.

9.OBSERVE WHERE THE CUTTING TOOL IS STOPPED. (ESPECIALLY GROOVING TOOL & BORING BAR) GROOVING TOOL:

A. SLECT MPG MODE FROM OPERATOR PANEL.

B. SELECT REQUIRED AXIS (X,Y,Z) FROM MPG . C. SLECT REQUIRED FEED RATE FROM MPG. (0.01mm IS PREFRRED FOR INTIAL POSITION) D. TAKEOUT THE GROOVING TOOL FROM ITS POSITION BY MOVING X AND Y AXIS IN MPG MODE. (TAKE CARE WHILE MOVING + & - IN X,Y,Z AXIS)

AXIS MOVEMENT

Y +

Z+ X+

AXIS MOVEMENT W R T TO MAN

X+ Y+

E. TAKE THE Z AXIS TO SAFE POSITION (TOOL SHOULD BE AWAY FROM COMP.) BY SELECTING + IN MPG HANDLE.

F. SELECT MDI MODE FROM OPERATOR PANEL AND INPUT

G0G90G53Z0;

OR
G28Z0;

G. MAKE FEED OVERRIDE SWITCH TO ZERO.

H. PRESS CYCLE START BUTTON AND SLOWELY RELEASE FEED OVERRIDE SWITCH FOR AXIS MOVEMENT.

I.CONFIRM Z AXIS POSITION (IT SHOULD REACH TO ITS HOME POSITION) J.NOW ONCE AGAIN MAKE RAPID OVERRIDE SWITCH TO ZERO POSITION.

K. SELECT MDI MODE FROM OPERATOR PANEL AND INPUT

G0G90G53X0Y0;

OR
G28X0Y0; L. PRESS CYCLE START BUTTON AND RELEASE FEEDRATE OVERRRIDE SWITCH FOR AXIS MOVEMENT.

N. CONFIRM X & Y AXIS POSITION (IT SHOULD REACH TO ITS HOME POSITION) O.PRESS ONE TIME FAULT RESET PUSH BUTTON AND PROGRAM RESET BUTTON. P. CALL THE REQUIRED PROGRAM FROM DIRECTORY. Q. CALL THE REQUIRED TOOL FROM THE PROGRAM AND PUT SELECTOR SWITCH IN MANUAL MODE . R. MAKE FEED RATE OVERRIDE SWITCH TO ZERO AND PRESS CYCLE START BUTTON AND RELEASE FEED RATE OVERRIDE KNOB SIMULTANEOUSLY BY OBSERVING X,Y,Z POSITION ON CRT AND FIXTURE MOVEMENT THROUGH DOOR GLASS.

CARE TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF ANY ALTERATION MADE IN PART PROGRAM

1.CONFIRM THE ALTERATION WITH PART DRAWING. 2. MAKE SURE SYMBOLS USED IN ALTERED PROGRAM ARE CORRECT (+ OR - ). 3.AFTER PROGRAM ALTERATION IS COMPLETE PRESS PROGRAM RESET BUTTON. 4.MACHINE FIRST PIECE IN SINGLE BLOCK (ALTERED BLOCK) BY OBSERVING EACH MOVEMENT OF TOOL THROUGH SLIDING DOOR AND THROUGH CRT DISPLY (DIST TO GO) . 5. WHILE MACHINING IN SINGLE BLOCK KEEP ONE HAND ON EMERGENCY BUTTON, IN CASE OF ANY ABNORMALITY PRESS EMERGENCY BUTTON.

TOOL LIFE MANAGEMENT

FOR EACH GROUP A TOOL LIFE IS SPECIFIED. EACH TIME WHEN THE TOOL IS USED, THE TIME FOR WHICH THE TOOL IS USED IS ACCUMULATED. WHEN THE TOOL LIFE HAS BEEN REACHED ITS GIVES AN ALARAM INDICATING TOOL LIFE IS COMPLETED FOR THE GROUP.

* TOOL LIFE MANAGEMENT DATA CAN BE SET FOR EACH TOOL POST.

 A TOOL LIFE CAN BE SPECIFIED EITHER AS TIME OF USE (IN MINUTES) OR THE FREQUENCY OF USE.

HOW TO INPUT TOOL LIFE ?

BFW MACHINE: 1.PRESS OFFSET SETTING BUTTON. SOFTKEY BUTTON 2.PRESS 3.PRESS TOOLLF BUTTON IN SOFTKEY

4.PRESS OPRT IN SOFTKEY.

5.PRESS EDIT 6.GOTO LIFE IN TOOL LIFE PAGE.

7.ENTER REQUIRED TOOL LIFE .

8.INPUT THE LIFE USING INPUT BUTTON. 9.PRESS END IN SOFTKEY TO CLOSE THE PAGE.

HOW TO CLEAR TOOL COUNTER?

1.PRESS OFFSET SETTIG BUTTON.

SOFTKEY BUTTON 2.PRESS 3.PRESS TOOLLF BUTTON.

4.PRESS OPRT IN SOFTKEY . 5.PRESS CLEAR BUTTON IN SOFTKEY. 6.PRESS EXEC BUTTON IN SOFTKEY. 7.OBSERVE COUTNER WILL BECOME ZERO.

HOW TO INPUT TOOL LIFE?

1.WRITE THE PROGRAM WITH PROGRAM NO. INDICATING ALL THE TOOLS LIFE IN THE PROGRAM. 2.RUN THE PROGRAM . a.PUT SELECTOR SWITCH IN MANUAL MODE. b.CALL THE TOOL LIFE PROGRAM FROM THE DIRECTORY. c.PRESS CYCLE START. d.CHECK WHETHER ALL TOOL LIFES ARE ENTERED IN RESPECTIVE GROUPS.

HOW TO CLEAR TOOL COUNTER?

1.PRESS OFFSET SETTING BUTTON.

SOFTKEY. 2.PRESS 3.PRESS TOOLLF IN SOFTKEY.

4.PRESS OPRT SOFTKEY. 5.PRESS CLEAR SOFTKEY. 6.PRESS INPUT SOFTKEY 7.CONFIRM TOOL COUNTER HAS BECOME ZERO.

PART PROGRAM PREPARATION FOR A COMPONENT

1) Reading of part drawing, understanding views, dimensions, tolerances etc. 2) Capacity of the machine. 3) Knowledge of the machine operation. 4) Knowledge of different machining operations. 5) Knowledge of cutting tools & holders. 6) Knowledge of Cutting parameters like cutting speed, feed, RPM etc. 7) Knowledge of component holding arrangement i.e. fixturing. 8) Different codes used in PART PROGRAM.
