As you can see, two variants are available ,C and ,A with a leading comma to differentiate them from
C- and A-axis........................................................................................................................................... 25
New correction values must be entered when the tool is moved because of a hit.................................. 26
Refer to operation manual for further information on this subject, chapter B, point 4: OPERATION
PROCEDURE FOR MANUAL TOOL PRESETTER INTEGRATED IN THE MACHINE.......................... 26
When a tool is placed on the subhead (the case may be in which double toolholders are used for the
head and the subhead) keep in mind that correction values are ? 21, that is, for position 1 the correction
value will be 21, for position 2, 22, and so on.......................................................................................... 26
It can be also placed in other location, even though it is advised not to do it, as following up and verifying
the program would much more difficult and you should continuously calculate the difference between this
position and workpiece end..................................................................................................................... 26
We advise you to enter workpiece zero at the beginning of the program. .............................................. 26
How preparing the machine for machining operations with transfer:...................................................... 27
1st Determine workpiece zero and carry out the 1st machining stage.................................................... 27
2nd Stop the machine and verify the dimension before doing the transfer............................................. 27
3nd Do the transfer and place the subhead in working position.............................................................. 27

You can also see that for taper turning entering the start point and the end point will not be necessary,
and the angle between these two points will be machined...................................................................... 30
In this example the part would have a 35 hole...................................................................................... 31
In this example we consider that the part is rough machined................................................................. 32
As seen in this example, G2 is used to machine radii in clockwise direction and G3 in counterclockwise
direction................................................................................................................................................... 32
You can also see that G2 or G3 is first entered, then the end point, and finally the radius,.................... 32
As you can see, for the interpolation, you must know the point from which this interpolation will take
place in order to change radius direction (in this example on point X69.282 Z-60).................................. 33
In this example, slots of de 65, 71 and 69 are to be machined. For this, tool T5 will be used. .........34
The references are: U for X-axis (U-command also on to).................................................................. 34
W for the Y-axis..................................................................................................................................... 34
H for the C-axis..................................................................................................................................... 34
Time delays are entered each time a slot is machined in order to stop the tool for a given time and then
properly complete the machining operation............................................................................................. 34
To go from M3 to M4, first enter M5 to stop the head............................................................................. 35
2. G FUNCTIONS................................................................................................................................... 36
This section describes G codes more commonly used. Refer to CNC unit manual supplied by the

functions different to those described herein may be availbale................................................................ 40
4. THREADING....................................................................................................................................... 45
The outside thread area will be turned to a diameter (- 0.1 mm the metric diameter) in order to prevent
that thread tips can result in sharp edges................................................................................................ 46
G32 for threading operations, always operate at fixed rpm (G97).......................................................... 46
When retapping threads, do not release the workpiece, do not change the speed and do not change the
start point................................................................................................................................................ 46
5. CONTROL FIXED CYCLES................................................................................................................ 47
You can find here a brief explanation of machining cycles. For a detailed description, refer to section 13
of FANUC manual, part 1/2..................................................................................................................... 47
At the end of each cycle sequence the machine is always positioned in the position at which this cycle
sequence was started. The tool will be commonly located in the position used for rough machining. .....47
The profile allows changing X and Z direction........................................................................................ 47
At the end of each cycle sequence the machine is always positioned in the position at which this cycle
sequence was started.............................................................................................................................. 47
The positioning allows changing X- and Z-axis direction........................................................................ 47
If the block G71 U3 R1 is entered for the first time, it will be stored in the parameter U=P5132 and
R=P5133 and will be kept until changed in either the program or the parameter..................................... 47
Same as the above one, excepting for the profile................................................................................... 48
IMPORTANT: Roughing cycles are without tool radius compensation. Because of this, higher
allowances will be specified for X and Z depending on tool radius.......................................................... 49
6. EXAMPLES OF FIXED CYCLES........................................................................................................ 51
For retraction at the start, the end of program will be replaced by this end of program; with cycle G83
the control retracts the drill to the start point (X0 Z3) every time, thus the retraction (R05) is not entered.
52
Groove width or groove end point can be defined with a W code in this example (W27, that is, 30 3 of
tool), if tool is positioned on the right-hand would be (W-27). For either Z or W, tool width must be
subtracted............................................................................................................................................... 53
It must be kept in mind that in all cases when pitch is multiplied by the revolutions the result must be ?
4000. Pitch x R.P.M. . 4000.................................................................................................................. 55

All cycles ends where they are started and, because of this, finishing positioning is done above the
workpiece................................................................................................................................................ 66
For control units with capability for machining profiles with X-axis direction reversal, the first block for
defining the profile must state the movement of the two axes or include U0 or W0. ........................... 68
Roughing cycles are without tool radius compensation. Because of this, higher allowances will be
specified for X and Z depending on tool radius........................................................................................ 68

XX-, Z- and B-axis and their respective positive and negative displacement directions are shown
on the above schematic diagram.
As you can see, when workpiece zero reference point is located on workpiece end (most
common case), the positive direction is outside the workpiece, while the negative direction is
on the workpiece area to be machined (inside the workpiece).
Commonly, you will operate in the quadrant defined by X+ and Z-.
The machine will enter only in X- area for facing operations.
You may also operate X+ Z+ quadrant when the workpiece is clamped on the subhead.

machine are
A: powered tool rotating axis.
B: displacement axis used to approach the subhead to main head or move it away.
F: feed axis (related to slides) to be programmed when in operation.
In millimetres x per revolution when the head is rotating (turning)
For example:
G99 F0.3
this means 03 millimetres per revolution.
In millimetres per minute when the head is stopped (MC).
For example:

1.2

Tool offset
The correction value is the protruding length of tool end from the zero reference of turret disc.
The required correction values must be entered each time tool position is changed with respect
to the aforementioned position; if tool position is not changed, entering a correction value will
not be necessary as these values are stored in the memory.
New correction values must be entered when the tool is moved because of a hit

1.2.1 Entering correction values


There are two ways for entering tool correction values.
1st.) supplied with presetter.
For machines with presetter, place the presetter in position and preset the tool.

Refer to operation manual for further information on this subject, chapter B,


point 4: OPERATION PROCEDURE FOR MANUAL TOOL PRESETTER
INTEGRATED IN THE MACHINE

2nd.) supplied without presetter.


For machines without presetter, turn the workpiece and retract the tool without moving it out
the axis. Then measure the workpiece and enter the readings in the geometry table.
To enter a value, go to the geometry table (correction value), enter the required value and
press the intermediate key; by this way the control unit will calculate the correction value.
When a tool is placed on the subhead (the case may be in which double
toolholders are used for the head and the subhead) keep in mind that correction
values are ? 21, that is, for position 1 the correction value will be 21, for position
2, 22, and so on.

1.3

Workpiece zero reference point


Workpiece zero is the workpiece protruding length from main chuck face.
It can be also placed in other location, even though it is advised not to do it, as
following up and verifying the program would much more difficult and you should
continuously calculate the difference between this position and workpiece end.
We advise you to enter workpiece zero at the beginning of the program.

PROGRAMMING MANUAL -26-

<Standard for machines with sub-head>


In the following example we explain how a value of 80 is entered for the first stage (machining
the workpiece on the head), while a value of 460 is entered for the second stage (machining
the workpiece on the subhead).

Zero 1st phase

How preparing the machine for machining operations with transfer:


1st Determine workpiece zero and carry out the 1st machining stage.
2nd Stop the machine and verify the dimension before doing the transfer.
3nd Do the transfer and place the subhead in working position.
4nd Stop the machine and determine workpiece zero before performing the 2nd

As seen in this example, up to 3 M codes can be programmed on each line.
It is always advisable to switch chip conveyor and coolant on at the start of the
program, excepting for special cases.
G0 X150 Z150
Note that tool retraction in this example is to 150 mm on X+ and 150 mm on Z+
from workpiece zero, and not from chuck face, as no order for changing the
position is given to workpiece zero, which in this example is maintained in the
previous position.
Line number (N10, N20...)
Line numbers are optional, and can be either entered or not.
It is advisable to enter line numbers with a margin, such as 10, 20 , as you
can then enter intermediate operations without requiring changing all line
numbers (10, 12, 13, 20...).
G96 G99 S200 F.25
As you can see, G codes are first placed and then S and F codes. Codes can be
also entered in the following manner: G96 S200 G99 F.25
Entering codes such as G96 and G50 in the same line is not permitted.

2. G FUNCTIONS
G functions used in machining programs are described in this section.
This section describes G codes more commonly used. Refer to CNC unit
manual supplied by the manufacturer for G codes not included in this section.

2.1

List of G codes
Also called preparatory functions, G codes consist of a G address followed by a numerical
value which defines a machining mode or an axis displacement within a program block. The
CNC unit will control the specified G code.
G codes are classified into two types:
Type

Description

Non-modal G code
(Group 00, excepting G10 and G11)

The G code is valid within the block in which it was


programmed

Modal G code
(Groups other than 00)

The G code will remain valid until another G code of


the same group is programmed.

For instance, G00 and G01 are modal G codes, as they pertain to a group other than 00.
G01 X_Z_;
X_;
Z_;
G00 X_Z_;

G01 is valid within this range

1- More than one G code may be programmed in a block, provided they are
from different groups.
2.- If more than one G code in a group is programmed in a block, only the last
programmed G code will be executed.
3.- If a G code not specified in the list of G codes or a G code related to a
function not available in the machine is programmed, alarm message no. 010
will be displayed.
4.- G codes marked with % are activated by default when CNC is started or
RESET key
pressed.

(mm).
P Block number from which the profile operation begins.
Q Number of end block of profile.
U Finishing allowance for radius on X-axis (mm).
W Finishing allowance on Z-axis (mm).
F Instantaneous feed (mm/revolution).
At the end of each cycle sequence the machine is always positioned in the
position at which this cycle sequence was started.
The positioning allows changing X- and Z-axis direction.
If the block G71 U3 R1 is entered for the first time, it will be stored in the
parameter U=P5132 and R=P5133 and will be kept until changed in either the
program or the parameter.

8. FIXED CYCLES BY CMZ


In this chapter, the description of some G codes that have been programmed by CMZ is
described

8.1

G38, Checking workpiece pushing

G38 is programmed when a workpiece clamped on the head is to be moved to the sub-head.
When transferring the workpiece from the head to the sub-head, it is assumed that the workpiece will
be in contact with sub-head chuck face when the limit value preset for B-axis is reached. Then the
workpiece is clamped on the sub-head and the program advances to the following block.

G38 can be only programmed on machines equipped with sub-head (S)

COMMAND

G38 B (J)_K_F_Q_;
- G38................Workpiece push checking command.
- B....................Absolute command
This is a B-axis coordinate value for the working position at
which the workpiece will be transferred from the head to the
sub-head.
- F....................Advance (mm/min)
This is the advance speed for workpiece transfer operation.
- Q....................Transfer position tolerance.
After the workpiece is positioned on B+Q as a result of transfer
operation, the program will be advanced to the following block.

This detection operation may cause an elongation of aluminium parts,


leading to permanent deformation or damage.
Transfer advance rate must be selected depending on workpiece
material and size.
1- If B-axis position after retracted from detected transfer position is out of the
specified tolerance B+Q, an alarm message will be displayed
3011 CYCLE NOT COMPLETED
and the machine will be stopped.
2- If Q value is omitted, the tolerance for workpiece position will be 1 mm.
3- The approach point specified before G38 must be a point located at a
distance of 1 mm from the sub-head chuck.

8.4.1 Calibrating of tailstock pushing force.


G138 and G238 allow the calibrating of the tailstock pushing force through the variable #130.
When an argument T [Kgf] is programmed for this G function (limit of B axis pushing force),
the tailstock makes this force against the workpiece.
If a force meassurement device is installed between the spindle and the automatic tailstock, as
can be seen on next figure, the force made by the tailstock could be read. This force should be
the same as the one programmed on by the T argument.

Fig. 1.3.1

To calibrate this force, the variable #130 of the program O9016 (for the cycle G138), or the
program O9015 (for the cycle G238) can be introduced from the keyboard, until both
measurements are the same.
The initial #130 is introduced by the manufacturer during the machine
verification process.

If the bit 4 in the parameter 3202 takes the value of 1, the edition of registered
programs O9000 to O9999 will not be possible.

If the machine is equipped with a rear chip conveyor, cleaning pump operation will be governed
by chip conveyor operation. By this way, when a M200 code is entered to start the chip
conveyor, the pump will be also started and will be kept running until a M201 code is entered to
stop the chip conveyor.
If the chip conveyor is located on the machine side instead of on the rear, M382 and M383
code will start and stop the pump, respectively, while on automatic mode. In this case, a pushbutton on control panel is used to start (LED lighted) and stop the pump on manual mode.

PROGRAMMING MANUAL -107-

A cleaning pump is always provided on TL machines equipped with rear chip


conveyor or B-axis.
Operation of cleaning pump will be only possible with machine door closed.

10. PROGRAMMING C-AXIS AND POWERED TOOL.


This section describes the procedure used to program machining cycles requiring position
control by the head. This is the meaning of C-axis. The head will rotate and the control unit will
control head position at all moment. By this way, C-axis can be positioned according to preset
angles, be displaced on incremental mode, etc irrespective the workpiece is being machined or
not.

C-axis mode is activated on head1.


C-axis mode is activated on head2.
C-axis mode is deactivated on main head or on head1.
C-axis mode is deactivated on head2.

For machines of SM series, chuck locking function is only enabled for the head
for which the last M command has been programmed, provided that more than
one M80 (C-axis activation for head1), M280 (C-axis activation for head2), M50
(brake activation for head1), and M250 (brake activation for head2) is
programmed in a single block. Chuck locking function is nor enabled for other
heads. Therefore, the machining operation must be performed with the head for
which the last M command is programmed. If the machining operation is
performed with other head, the powered tool will not be stopped even with jaws
open, letting the workpiece to fall or be thrown out the chuck, causing personal
injures or damages to the machine.

1- Stop the head (head1 and/or head2) by entering the command M05 (head1)
or M205 (head2) before entering commands M80, M280. If any of the last
parameters is entered with head1 or head2 rotating, the machine will be
stopped and an alarm message (FM024) will be shown on the display.
2- Before entering command M81 or M281, the powered tool must be stopped
by entering command M05 or M85. If any of these commands is entered
when the powered tool is rotating, the machine will be stopped and the
alarm message (FM025) will de shown on the display.
3- For machines of SMC series, deactivating C-axis function will not be
necessary when changing this function from a head to the other head by
means of M80 or M280.
4- For machines of SMC series, head1 or head2 will operate on C-axis mode
when entering M80 or M280 respectively. To deactivate C-axis function on
either head, only enter command M81 or M281 respectively, in case of each
head.
COMMAND

5- For machines of SMC series, if machining operations are to be carried out


with head2, C-axis must be returned to its zero reference point after
completing the machining operations with head1.

PROGRAMMING MANUAL -110-

10.1.2
M480 and M481 - Coupling of C-axes for head and
subhead.

Function M480 is used for coupling C-axis movement for head and subhead. For instance, this
function is used to perform C-axis operations with a workpiece simultaneously clamped on bot
heads.
By entering M481 head coupling is disengaged.
Commands M480 and M481 can be only used on machines of SMC series.

M480; ........... C-axis mode is activated on both heads, head1 and head2.
M481; ........... C-axis mode is deactivated on both heads, head1 and head2.

When C-axes on both heads are coupled, activating the hydraulic brake to lock
head1 (M50) will only be permitted. Considering that this function is used to
machine workpieces clamped on both heads, locking both heads will not be
required.

1- Stop head, head1 or head2 by entering M05 (head1) and/or head2 by


entering M205 before entering command M480. If the last command in
entered when the head1 or head2 is rotating, the machine will be stopped
and the alarm message (FM024) will be shown on the display.
2- Before entering command M481 you will need to stop the powered tool by
entering M05 or M85 command. If command M481 is programmed when
the powered tool is running, the machine will be stopped and the alarm
message (FM025) will be shown on the display.
3- For machines of SMC series, when a command M480 is entered both
heads, head1 and head2 will operate in C-axis mode. To rotate the heads,
C-axis must be deactivated by means of M81 or M281 respectively, or by
means of M481.

PROGRAMMING MANUAL -111-

10.1.3
M380, M381, M303 and M304 - Activation and deactivation
of C-axis with SuperCap.
When the control unit is provided with SuperCap tool, C-axis is activated by means of
command M380, and then enter M303 or M304 to activate C-axis mode on head1 or head2
respectively.
Command M381 deactivated C-axis function on head1 or head2.

Commands M380 and M381 are only used on machines of SMC series provided
with SUPERCAP tool.

COMMAND

M380; ........... C-axis mode is activated by means SuperCap.


M381; ........... C-axis mode is activated by means SuperCap.
M303; ........... When SuperCap is used, activates C-axis for head1 after
enabling C-axis mode by means of M380.
M304; ........... When SuperCap is used, activates C-axis for head2 after
enabling C-axis mode by means of M380.
For machines of SMC series, chuck locking function is only valid for the head for
which the last M function is entered, and provided that more than one M303
(activation of C-axis for head1), M304 (activation of C-axis for head2), M50
(head brake for head1), or M250 (head brake for head2), is entered in a single
block. Therefore, the machining process must be carried out with the head
corresponding to the M code entered in the program. If the machining operation
is carried out with the other head, the powered tool will not be stopped,
irrespective the jaws are open or not, so the workpiece could fall down or be
thrown away the chuck, causing personal injures or damages to the machine.
1- For machines of SMC series, head1 or head2 will operate in C-axis mode if
command M303 or M304, respectively, is entered in the program. To rotate
head1 or head2, C-axis mode is disabled on head1 and head2 by entering
the command M381.
2- For machines of SMC series, after using main head, C-axis must be
returned to zero position before changing to the subhead, after using the
main head.

The weak brake is only useful with a significant force in applied by the milling cutter on the
chuck. This force will depend on workpiece material and the machining operation itself. If no
significant force is applied on the chuck, using the brake is not advisable, as otherwise this
would result in a discontinuous (step to step) feed of milling cutter.

11. FUNCTIONS TO SHORTEN CYCLE TIME


The functions described below are used to shorten the time of operations that, while required
for machining a part, would extend the whole process.

11.1 M316 Unlocking the turret on out position


The turret on models TB, TL and TBI520 is of servo type with hydraulic locking. This means
that toolholder disc rotation is driven by a servomotor controlled from the NC unit and that
toolholder disc is locked on turret body by means of a hydraulic system.
Because of this, the turret must be unlocked before rotating toolholder disc. Also, the turret
must be locked after rotating toolholder disc to the required position.
Neither the locking operation nor the unlocking operation are instantaneous, but require some
time.
By means of function M316, the servo-turret is unlocked while moved out the workpiece to tool
change position and locked while moved toward the workpiece after the tool is changed.
Application example:

PROGRAMMING MANUAL -126-

11.2 Programming three M functions in a single block


Machine models TB, TL and TBI520 equipped with Fanuc i-TB series control units enable
simultaneously executing three M functions.
This means that the three M functions are executed at the same time, irrespective the order in
which they are programmed. The total time required to execute the three M functions will be
equal to the time required to execute the slower one.

Those functions which require to be executed that a function in the same block
will be previously executed must not be entered in the same block.
For instance, neither M80 M83 nor M81 M85 must be entered in the same
block, as M83 and M85 require that M80 and M81 respectively will be previously
executed.
M30, M0, M1, M2, M301, M302, M303, M304 y M29 functions must be required as the first M
function of all three functions.
Do not enter M70 M30, but M30 M70 (cycle end and door opening).

11.3 Using G97 to ensure the head reaching the required rotation
speed
If G96 is entered, cutting speed will be constant. This means that, for small turning diameters,
the head will reach high rotation speeds.
If when turning a small diameter a tool change is required, the turret should be moved out from
the workpiece to the position in which the tool is changed. The head will be decelerated
because this turret movement is carried out without specifying the speed. Consequently, when
the turret returns to the position in which a small diameter is turned, the head will be
accelerated until the speed required for turning this small diameter is reached.
By entering function G97 together with the required head speed, the required head rotation
speed is maintained while both moving the turret out the workpiece and returning it to the
workpiece, thus reducing the time required to accelerate the head.

11.4 Using M318 to change tower position while axes are being
moved.
By default, tower position is changed after all axes are moved to programmed position.
However, by using M318 code, you can change tower position before all axis movements are
completed.

As M318 enables tower movement while the axes are being moved,
you should keep in mind that a collision between the workpiece
and tool holding disc could occur if machine movements are
incorrectly programmed. Before starting a new cycle, make sure
that any interference between movements is prevented.

11.5 Eliminating the waiting time at the end of M3, M4 or M5


When M3, M4 or M5 is entered in a block, this block will remain in execution status until the
end of M function This end is reached when the head reaches the programmed revolution
speed.
To eliminate this delay, enter a small S together with M4 and a larger S in next block.
Changing S value will not stop the block being executed until a cutting movement is read (ie
G1, G2, etc).
