 The versatile and compact FIDIA system 

 The Fidia integrated system
Looking for ever more complete solutions to equip modern machine tools, Fidia
has designed nC19™, representing a compact and effective solution optimising
all electronic components. Further to these improvements, the essential
performance features are granted anyhow; for over 30 years in fact they have
been characterizing Fidia brand just like the fast and accurate 3D machining, the
5-interpolated axis management, the advanced functions for moulds and models
machining and also the opening of Windows® applications.
Further to the well-known functions for the high speed sculptured sur-face
milling most Fidia users are familiar with, there are other features dedicated to a
more general mechanical machining (milling, drilling, boring, etc.), to the piece
measuring, to the piece alignment, to the tool management (extended tool table,
tool measuring).
The simple and intuitive ISO machining cycles feature an helpful interactive
graphical support and can be easily matched to the NC integrated DXF format
direct reading. In the workshop, this solution allows to directly import a file
HSM: 5 axis milling containing the workpiece data on the piece size, thus avoiding both cumbersome
drawings and the input of large data amounts.
The Touch Screen is a further innovation to the full operator’s advantage.
At the same time the operator finds a full uniformity of the user interface
with other Fidia NC families (C and M Class) and a complete ISO,
ISOGRAPH™ or PRJ (HI-MILL project) formats compatibility as well.

nC19™: USB port on front end
ISOGRAPH™: graphic display
Network file transfer
The NC integrated network card and the Windows® 10 Enterprise operating
system allow for an easy introduction of the nC19™ control into the company
network. All CAM engineering programs can be therefore directly stored into the
NC hard disk.
A USB port located on the NC front-end allow the execution of part-program
even in case of network unavailability.
3D Graphic visualization
An optimized and even simultaneous visualization for displaying large and
different format files enables a quick check of the milling path.
Its main features as follows:
Q visualization of the mathematical model laid upon the tool path;
Q display of multiple paths marked with different colors;
Q vertex coordinates measurements, distance between two points and angle
formed by two segments for each loaded tool path;
Q management of ISO - DXF - IGES - STL - VDA - FS - PRJ (HIMILL project)
formats.
Parameters and procedures
Roto-translation, scale factors, axis change, change of origins, change of machine,
movement release clearance etc., can be directly activated or modified by the
operator on the NC without modifying the part-program created by the CAM.
In addition to this, where changes are to be applied with a specific sequence
on file parts or on several files, the programming through Procedures is
provided allowing for an easy and maximum automation of part program
sequences thus resulting in maximum efficiency.

 Workshop programming
Graphical environment
Data entry for milling or drilling programming is done with the aid of graphics and
explanatory texts for an easier input of all necessary parameters so as to create
the desired machining cycle.
Each program block or work cycle is clearly displayed graphically in 2D or 3D view
in order to expedite the operator in achieving the required processing.
Cycles are planned specifically for the rectangular, circular or slot pocket
machining for the rectangular or circular flattening, further to the several drilling
cycles: for all of them a useful graphic help to programming is provided.
The “help on line” function is also constantly available and this allows for a quick
reference of the use and programming manual directly displayed on the NC
screen.
ISOGRAPH™
ISOGRAPH™: graphic display
For the machining of more complex components or to simplify the geometric
definition of profiles, ISOGRAPH™ offers a wide range of functions and dedicated
cycles.
A powerful graphic editor allows to define straight lines, circles and points thus
drawing profiles, placing fillets and chamfers, applying tool radius compensation
and also inserting approaches. The above operations are performed simply by
pressing the function keys and the matched dialog boxes: there is no need to
remember any programming function and related syntax.
The pocket working cycle allows for the management of complex geometrical
profiles; for the rectangular pockets it enables several side wall inclinations and
also different radius and fillet of pocket profiles and sections.
The radius compensation through the ISOGRAPH™ dialog box grants an
automatic approach and exit to and from the profile. It even enables the machining
on open profiles by calculating several tool path levels. Furthermore it performs
automatically the removal of any residual material.
For drilling cycles, in addition to the definition of the points on grid and
circumference, the definition of the points on a generic profile is provided.

DXF project management
Programming from a drawing can be a source of errors for a
misinterpretation or simply for errors made in the writing
process (e.g. to perform 100 holes, a hundred program lines
have to be written). Direct reading of DXF files in ISOGRAPH™
environment helps avoiding such errors and it also simplifies the
milling and drilling programming.
The graphical interface enables the management of DXF files by
selecting the items to be processed. To make an example, for
the drilling operations it is possible to specify the diameter of th
e required holes or to define the min/max diameters and even
exclude some specific items. Once the selection is over a fixed
cycle has to be matched with the holes and the drilling program
will be automatically generated. The same process can be used
for profiles where the ISOGRAPH™ radius compensation will be ISOGRAPH™: machining cycles on DXF
applied to the selected profile.
The DXF drawing can be shifted or rotated so as to position the
origin at best for the processing to come.

 5-axis machining
RTCP: 5 axis on roto-tilting tables
RTCP
Applied to bi-rotary heads and roto-tilting tables, the RTCP function manages
tool length compensation in space, directly from the machine tool.
A 5-axis tool path can therefore be programmed without having to consider
the tool length that will be inserted in the NC tool table before the program is
executed.
RTCP function can be applied to heads with one or two rotating axis and with
different construction characteristics: fork, angular, with misaligned rotation.
RTCP is also suitable for roto-tilting tables, either positioning or interpolating.
With RTCP it is also possible to control the feed rate with reference to the tool
tip.
The TCPhs function (hyper smooth) allows to reduce the sudden movements
introduced from RTCP compensation in specific situations; the resulting machine
movements are smoother, for the benefit of the workpiece surface quality and
of the machine mechanical parts.
With RTCP the rotation of the reference system is applied to programmed
movements and to those executed through jog and handwheel; the rotation can
also be applied to the rotary axis, so that in 5-axis tool paths the tool maintains
the proper orientation with respect to the workpiece .
It is also possible to use the RTCP function with 3 axis programs by manually
directing the head or the table: the tool tip is held in contact with the workpiece
and you can then use shorter and consequently more rigid tools.
VIRTUALL QUILL
The function “virtual quill” allows the management of an axis oriented in the
tool direction to perform movements by jog, handwheel or pro-grammed
movements. In daily practice it is used in different situations: to approach the
piece (zero or restart cycle), to disengage from the workpiece, to program 5-axis
drilling on inclined surfaces.

 Accurate and precise machining
XPOWER™ drives
To exploit at best the high NC axis control performance, Fidia
has developed a wide range of drives allowing to drive with
digital control all the most used motors in the field of machine
tools: brushless, linear and torque motors, synchronous and
asynchronous spindles.
It follows that Fidia can manage the entire supply of the machine
electronic part guaranteeing its performance, functionality and
support.

Analog drive interface

There are many machines equipped with good quality motors XPower™: Fidia digital drives to enhance quality
and analogue drives still in operation. On these machines the in High-Speed milling
NC is now obsolete and difficult to maintain. For this reason,
Fidia has created an interface module for analog drives which
allows to install a new NC without intervening on the motor and
the drive package. For these applications, Fidia has specific
control algorithms that guarantee good milling performance.
It is also possible to manage machines with mixed solutions
of digital drives (on axis with higher performance) and analog
drives (on service or positioning axis)

Velocity Five® (V5)

Acronym V5 has been created to represent the Velocity Five® multi axis trajectory control technology, the today
most accurate and fast simultaneous axis dynamic movements technique.
The mathematical algorithms of Velocity Five® allow the computation of the optimal feed rate according the
given Part Program trajectories at any given instant time allowing for:
Q Significant reduction of machining time in both 3 and 5 axis.
Q Faster and smoother machining of close points areas.
Q Better surface quality due to the higher trajectory precision achieved.
Q Uniform behavior of the machine tool in contiguous areas machined in opposite directions.
Q Smoother changes in axis accelerations to increase critical mechanical component life.
Q Ease of Operator milling strategy override choice using DYNA parameter. The regulation range of such
parameter between 50% and 150% allows a thoughtful variation of machining dynamics conditions,
balancing speed and accelerations with the aim of minimizing machining time or maximizing surface quality,
within the required tolerances.

Piece alignment
To avoid time-wasting operations on the machine it may be useful to use the
FIDIA piece alignment features. To this purpose some specific dialog pages with
graphic support can guide the operator in calculating and activating the suitable
rotations. The alignment cycles can be performed with digital probes or more
simply with a tool: in the latter case the points have to be collected manually.
Several cycles are provided referring to the geometrical elements available on the
piece: working surface, holes, pins.
On machines with swivelling head, rotation for piece alignment may also be
applied to rotary axis, so that even in 5-axis paths the tool will keep the proper
orientation in relation to the piece.
Tool table
The tool table completion can be performed directly on the machine or it can be
done externally and then transmitted to the NC via the network or via the USB
port.
In fact, the tool table may be compared to an Excel file that can be consequently
imported from an outer device; in a similar way, once completed, it may be
saved and exported. In addition to the standard uses such as diameter, radius
and length, some new fields can be added whose management is assigned to
the PLC. The combination with the tool identification systems results particularly
useful within a tool centralized management.
Piece measurement
For a checking of the produced piece the use of measure probes on the machine
tool is more and more frequent.
Fidia offers cycles for elementary and geometrical measuring as well as cycles for
measuring surface points that allow to take advantage from the most popular 3D
measurement software. The Fidia single point measurement cycle provides for
the management of the approaching vector perpendicular to the normal to the
measuring point thus simplifying the interfacing with the measurement software.
Tool measurement
The Fidia TMSC laser device is the optimal solution to measure and check the
tools on the machine. The use of a focused beam laser system guarantees high
precision even with small diameters (up to 0.1 mm). The integrated software on
Fidia NCs provides 16 differently shaped tool types (spherical, torical, cylindrical,
conical, with inserts, grinding wheels, etc..).
 5 axis technology - HMS™
Head Measuring System
The HMS™ system is a device designed for measuring and checking
continuous and indexed bi-rotary heads and roto-tilting tables.
Equipped with 3 sensors connected to the CNC, the HMS™ system
is managed by a specific measurement software. By processing
incoming data in real time, the software is able to check and correct
geometric error, positioning accuracy and the RTCP parameters for
the heads and tables.
Easy to install and use, HMS™ can also be used by operators with
no particular expertise. This means that the head geometry checks
can be performed whenever necessary, avoiding lengthy and costly
service interventions and reducing machine tool downtime.
A full report is available at the end of the calibration cycle detailing
the measurements made and the compensation values entered.

The equipment and the application have been granted European

patent No. 1549459.
