Preliminary Remarks
The documentation for your Graphic Programming System is broken

down into three Guides.
S “Graphic Programming System User’s Guide Part 1: Programming
Examples”
S “Graphic Programming System User’s Guide Part 2: Operating/ Pro-
gramming Functions”
S “Graphic Programming System Environment Description”
This “Graphic Programming System User’s Guide Part 1”
describes
basic graphic programming principles with the help of two
simple practical examples.
These examples are useful not only as an introduction but also for later
reference.
All the keys that you will require for programming the examples are
shown as icons.
Refer to Section 5 when programming multi-plane machining.
When you program the examples, it is very important that you refer to
the notes in Part 2.
Note Before using the functions provided by the Graphic Programming Sy-
stem in practice, you should have worked through the programming ex-
ample and read Part 2 of the User’s Guide carefully.
This User’s Guide does not contain a detailed

description of all functions available in the system
and of all possible operator inputs.
The graphic programming system features a
powerful help function, which is available in almost
any operating state.
This “Part 1: Programming Examples” is structured as follows:
Section 1: This section provides you with an overview.
Introduction
Section 2: Section 2 describes how you call up descriptions relating to the
Help Function functions of the softkey menus as an additional information service and
gives information about the graphic parameter descriptions displayed.
Section 3: Section 3 describes the objectives of the programming examples in

Objective Sections 4 and 5.
Section 4: Section 4 describes the graphic programming procedure by way of an

Programming example
Example 1
without face sides and peripheral surfaces.
(without C axis)
Section 5: Section 5 describes the graphic programming procedure by way of an

Programming example
Example 2
with face sides and peripheral surfaces1).
(with C axis)
Section 6: In the Appendix you will find fold-out work schedules and workpiece
Appendix sketches for the programming examples.
Further notes
Key symbols The operator actions described here always assume that you are using
the keyboard on the operator panel.
The key symbols in the example correspond to the symbols on the
operator panel.
If you are using the full keyboard for operating the Graphic Program-
ming System, please refer to Part 2 Section “Operation” which explains
the differences between the key symbols.
System texts System texts such as softkey texts, names of interactive screenforms
or parameter names in interactive screen forms are always written in
bold type.
Operator inputs Operator inputs such as parameter inputs in interactive screenforms
are presented in “inverted commas”.
1) only if the C axis option is available

1 Introduction
This User’s Guide describes operating actions and programming func-

tions for the Graphic Programming System.
Starting from the workpiece sketch, you use graphics to define:
S The workholders
S The tools
S The blank contour
S The finished part contour(s)
S Machining
and a part program in DIN code is generated automatically.
You can simulate the programmed traversing movements and display
these on the screen.
The part program can be edited at a later time.
You always program in different planes, which you define as surfaces.
The surfaces can be the geometry of a turned part or the face or
peripheral surface of the turned part.
The system calculates the geometry and machining information at the
machining level of the machine only when the Create part program.
function is activated.
Powered tools can machine the face or peripheral surface of the turned
part with drilling or milling operations. The machine must, however,
have a C axis and the Transmit function must be available.

The function described below provides you with help in almost every
operating situation.
By pressing the help key, you activate the help system which is stored
in the programming system.
Help in the Graphic

sTools
i Material S Help texts concerning the current horizontal softkey functions are
available if the first softkey of the horizontal softkey menu shows a
green “ i ”.
S You can obtain graphic help for the various input fields in almost all
interactive screenforms. They are not marked specially.
Help texts for the
functions in the hori-
zontal softkey menu
If no interactive screen form is displayed, the help system describes
the functions of the horizontal softkeys after this key has been pressed.

The designations F1 to F7 (see Fig. 2.1) refer to the softkeys of the

horizontal menus, e.g.:

3 Exercise Objectives
You will work step by step through sections 4 and 5 to fulfill the exer-
cise objectives of:
S Creating a workpiece magazine for drilling, milling1) and turning
tools,
S Entering the workpiece contour as a turning surface, end face1) and
peripheral surface1),
S Programming the workpiece machining operation with the technolo-
gies drilling, milling1) and turning and
S Creating a part program,
are worked through step by step in Sections 4 and 5.
The fold-out workpiece sketch and the work schedule for these exam-
ples are contained in the Appendix. This enables you to work through
the programming example page by page with the workpiece sketch
folded out.
Note If you want to stop before the end of the exercise, proceed as follows:
S Make a note of the programming level (e.g.: Geometry/
Create_New/Blank).
S Save the exercise in its present state (vertical softkey Save).
You can continue the interrupted programming example by
S Starting the Graphic Programming System with the workpiece, e.g.:
“PART1” and
S Calling the softkey functions of the programming level that you noted
before.

4.1 Graphic programming
4 Programming Example 1
The following exercise (see sketch in Section 6.1) is an example for

graphic programming of a workpiece on the turning level (without end
faces and peripheral surfaces).
Situation You have created a workpiece directory called “PART1”.

How to do this is explained step be step in the section “Programming
Examples” (e.g. “Graphic Programming System on the PC” ) of the
corresponding Environment Description.
The Graphic Programming System is loaded. You start off from this
operator interface
Fig. 4.1 Basic level for programming WOP
Note You now have seven vertical softkeys in addition to the seven
horizontal softkeys.
Horizontal The horizontal softkeys take you into the programming of your
softkeys workpiece “PART1”.
The vertical softkeys are used for screen and system control and
Vertical
softkeys contain general programming utilities which are available at any time
during graphic programming.
The RECALL key enables you to abort a softkey function and to go
back in the menu.

If new tools are required, it is recommended to

generate the tools before creating the workpiece
geometry. You will practise this procedure in the
“Creating a user magazine” subsection below.

You can select one of the following to position the tool change point:
X/Z – first X then Z (see Fig. 4.90)
Z/X – first Z then X (see Fig. 4.90)
XZ – simultaneously (see Fig. 4.90)
X – along X (path optimization for stock removal outside)
Z – along Z (path optimization for stock removal inside)
The tool change position should be
Position in X: “150”
Position in Z: “100”.
... ... ... The following drawing (Fig. 4.90) shows several approach strategies to
the tool change point.
This is an example. The tool has just completed stock removal of inside

created with the graphic programming system.
The operating sequences for quitting graphic programming are listed
step by step in the corresponding environment description in the
Section “Programming Examples” (e.g.: “Graphic Programming System
on PC”).
Workpiece geometry If you change to a new workpiece, the programming system asks you
and machining whether you wish to save the workpiece geometry and machining that
you have created.
You can also save your workpiece geometry and machining commands
Save during graphic programming with the vertical softkey Save.
Note You always work under workpiece names (e.g. “PART 1”) in the graphic
programming system.
Part program After ending the function Create part program, the graphic
programming system stores the part program in your workpiece
directory (e.g. “PART 1”). It is not necessary to save the program
separately.
