MTS Simulation Software – Topmill (Fanuc )

Exercise 1:

-Click ‘Start Topmill’.

-Select controller and then click ‘Start Milling’.

-Drawing Plate1 as an exercise No.1.

The follow step:

.1st material set-up.

.Clamping/vice set-up.

.Tools set-up.

.Set work piece zero point (G54).

.Start programming.

.Run Simulation.
-Click ‘Setup Mode’ or press ‘F6’ on the keyboard.

-Click ‘Part/Vice’ to make the new material set-up.

-Click ‘New Part’ for the following set-up.

-Key-in the material size follow the drawing (100x100x50), then click ‘Accept’.
-Click ‘Part position’ for clamping setting.

-Press button from the key-board to move up the work piece until the work piece on top of the parallel bar
then click ‘Accept’ or F8 to confirm the setting.
-Once again, click ‘Accept’ to confirm all the clamping setting.

-Click ‘Quit’ to out from the clamping setting.

-Press ‘F4’ or click ‘Tool/Datum’ for tool and datum setting.

-Click ‘Magaz. Equipm’ or press ‘F2’ to set the tool.

-To set new tool to the magazine, click ‘File’ and then ‘New’ to delete all old tool,

-Click ‘Yes’ to agree remove all the tools.

-Double click at box No.1. If in the program we write T3, then the tools have to set at box No3. Means, tools
setting must follow the tools No. we write in the program.
-Select tool ‘Step Drill’ as a 1st tool.

-Select tool diameter ‘5mm’ and then click ‘Accept Quit’.

-Next, tool No.2, double click at magazine No.

-Select ‘Twist drill’ as a drilling tool. Twist drill HSS L is mean High Speed Steel Long, Twist drill HSS S mean
short, and Twist Drill SC is a normal drilling tool.
-Here, select tool diameter ‘8mm’, and then click ‘Select Quit’

-Click ‘Activate the workpiece colour for all tools’ to separate the tool by colour. To confirm all tools, click
‘Save and Quit’.
-The last setting is ‘Set Datum’, click at ‘Set Datum’.

-Select ‘G54 Active’ as a Axis reference datum code.

-To move the Axis, please refer to key-board. From key-board and is Z-Axis moving up and down,
and is to move X-Axis left and right, and Y-Axis move in and out is ‘Pg Up’ and ‘End’ from key-board.
Refer to the picture, move the X and Y-Axis to the centre and then move down the Z-Axis until touch to the
work piece or ‘Collision’ alarm appear. To set the Z-Axis position, click ‘Set Z-coord’.

-After click ‘Set Z-coord’, key-in ‘0’ for the Z datum. Click ‘Accept’ to confirm the datum setting.
-Next is X-Axis datum. Same as Z-Axis, move down the Z-Axis and then move X-Axis until ‘Collision’ Alarm
appear. Click ‘Set X-coord’ to set X-Axis datum.

-Because of the tool diameter is 5mm, so we need to key-in tool radius -2.5mm to X-Axis coordinate. Then
click ‘Accept’ to confirm the datum setting.
-Last setting is Y-Axis. Same as X and Z-Axis, move the Y-Axis until ‘collision’ alarm appear, and then click ‘Set
Y-coord’ for the Y-Axis datum setting.

-Click accept to confirm the Y-Axis datum setting.

-Click ‘Quit’ to finish datum setting.

-Once again, click ‘Quit’ to quit the tool and datum setting.
-Lastly, click ‘Quit’ to out from the set-up mode.

-To save all the setting, click ‘Setup Form’.

-Click ‘Generate’.

-Key-in File name, any name. And then click ‘Save’.

-Click ‘Yes’ to create program.

-Click ‘Quit’ to end all the setting.

-To write program, click ‘NC-Editor’.

-And then click at ‘Edit program’, to start the program editing.

-To start the simulation after done the programming editing. Click at ‘Accept quit’, it will be automatic saving.

Exercise 2
-Click ‘Select dlg.File’ or press ‘F6’ on the keyboard.

-Write a new program name and then click ‘Open’.

-In this setup page, we can write our name at programmer, and also Department, and Project name. Select
‘Workpiece’ mode for the following setting.

-Key-in the cutting material length, width and Height.

-Next is ‘Workpiece clamping’. Here, we can change the vise, jaws and set the chucking depth.

-Next, Zero register. Select ‘Top Side-Centre’ as Work piece Zero. The coordinate will automatically set in to
‘G54’.
-At last, tool system setting. Select the ‘Tool System’ and then click ‘Edit’ mode.

-1st, click ‘File’ and then select ‘New’ to clear all the old setting.

-Click ‘Yes’ to agree remove all the tools.

-Double click at box No.1. If in the program we write T3, then the tools have to set at box No3. Means, tools
setting must follow the tools No we write in the program.

-Now, double click at ‘End Mill Rough Finish SC’,

-Choose End Mill Diameter 10mm as a cutting tools, and then click ‘Select and Quit’.

-Back to here, click ‘Activate the workpiece colour’, it will show us the colour at the workpiece after cutting.
Then, Click ‘Save and Quit’.
-After all the System setting complete. Click ‘Ok’ to confirm.

-Next, Click ‘Editor’ to write program.

-This is circular pocket program.
-Click ‘Run NC Program’ to run the Machine.

-After finish cutting, click ‘Dimensioning’ to measure the complete part.

Exercise 3

-With the same setting (Workpiece, workpiece clamping, Zero Register and Tool System). From the picture is
the program for Diameter 50mm Rectangle Island.

-Cutting Complete.
-With the same setting, this is the program for exercise No.3.
