Programming of Switching Functions

Switching functions are programmed with the address letters

T.... Tool change
M.... Switching functions
H.... Additional datum

M Functions

M functions are programmed with

M... = ...............

Function
Unit No.

Three functions are max. possible per block. All M functions are compiled in table 1 in
the annex.
The fast M function must stand in a separate block (only with C200-4 valid from GA3)
and must have a minus sign.
M-8, M3=–8 without reader stop, without confirmation time (100msc.)

Example: M1 = –69 opening the chucking means, without reader stop

G0X… Z…
M1 = 69 checking chucking means to be open

T Word / Tool management

A tool change is the indexing of the turret to another tool station.
A turret station is programmed with:
T ... = ................

Tool station No.

Turret No.

When a T word is programmed from its own channel then the extension "Turret No." may
be omitted.

Example: T word from channel 2 for indexing turret to station 10

T10 (or: T2=10)

A+B/10/M-Fu 1/02/L34T678GU/0198

Programming of Switching Functions

For the extension of the T-word applies:

Turret No. Meaning

T1 = xx Turret 1 to station xx
T2 = xx Turret 2 to station xx
T3 = xx Turret 3 to station xx (select rear end drilling station xx)
T4 = xx Tool changer xx

The station numbers are (n..... No. off stations)

- Disc type turret : counted through 1,___, n

- Single track crown type turret : counted through 1,___, n
- Double track crown type turret : counted through 1,___, 8
and 11,___,18

whereby station 1 and 11 result in the same turret position.

Example: Indexing turret 2 to station 5

T2=5

through (drill broken !?)

The monitoring system evaluates the current of the main drive motor for tool
breakage monitoring.
6 different upper limit values can be set in the monitoring system which must be
enabled by machining program.

M6 = 085 : Cancel limit value

= 185 : Select limit value 1
.
= 685 : Select limit valuce 6

Only one limit value is enabled at the time.

The actual limit value is cancelled by selection of another limit value or by the command
M6 = 085, by the reset-key or by the end of program.

The appropriate commands must be implemented in separate blocks either before or

after the machining feeds commands. It must be ensured that the limit values are
monitored only after the spindle speed has been reached.

For setting the monitoring limit values the power display of the device must be observed
during the program run, and the max. value is set with the addition of a tolerance.

Traversing to Tool Changing Point L110

With the cycle L110 it is possible to traverse to a predetermined tool changing (indexing)
point. The position of the tool changing point is defined with the cycle L410 in the co-
ordination program (%0-%99).

With the parameter R10 can be decided if traversing to the tool changing point should
be in one or both axes. Apart from this the sequence of traversing to the axes can be
influenced.

R12

øR11
M

Cycle call:

R10 = x L110 Traversing to tool changing point

1 Traverse to changing point in X-direction

2 Traverse to changing point in Z-direction
3 Traverse to chang. point in X-and Z-directions simultaneously
12 Traverse to changing point in X-and Z-directions sucessively
21 Traverse to changing point in Z-and X-directions sucessively

Example: R10 = 12 L110

Traversing to the tool changing point will be in the actual channel first in X-direction then
in Z-direction.

Attention!
During traversing to the tool changing point a pending tool offset No. will be cancelled.

The tool nose radius compensation G41/G42 or constant cutting speed (G96) must be
cancelled before calling the cycle L110.

Traversing to the tool changing point with the cycle L110 is possible in X- and Z-directions
only. Any pending transformations like transmit, double-transmit (U-, V-axes) or rear end
machining (X3-, Z3-axes) must be cancelled before calling the cycle.

Spindle positioning by cycle L119

Positioning of main and counter spindles can be simplified by means of cycle L119.

Cycle call R10 = xxx.x R11 = x L119

0 Main spindle
3 Counter spindle
Angle (0 to ± 359.9 degrees)

The cycle provides for automatic compensation of resulting angular offsets at turret 1
(main spindle, – 20° and counter spindle + 20°) and turret 2 (180°).
If positioning is to be performed without reader stop, M3=95 or M4=95 can be
programmed upstream of cycle call.

The cycle will be quitt with nominal and actual speed values in this
channel and via G0, G64.

Synchronization with Axis Position - L146

This cycle enables the synchronization of one channel with another channel with
reference to a position of the workpiece. The channel in which the cycle is programmed
is waiting until the programmed position is reached in another channel.

The cycle may be programmed simultaneously in several channels!

Calling the cycle:

R10 = xx R11 = x R12 = xxx.xxx L146
Synchronization position of the axis (with sign)
1 =>Traversing direction plus
–1 => Traversing direction minus
Number of axis to be monitored

The position R12 must be programmed in the measuring system (mm

or inches) of the switching-on system.

Example: The Z-axes of both turrets travel to starting position only after the Z4-axis of
the counter spindle has reached the positive value 550 mm.

Milling of Cylinder Tracks L136

On the periphery of the workpiece any desired cylinder tracks, consisting of straight lines
and circular arcs, can be produced. The cutter radius compensation can be used. The
positions of the C-axis are stated in degrees. The conversion to the circumferential
dimensions of the working diameter is carried out internally to the control.

For this purpose the conversion factor

P= machining diameter (R11 = ... )

is programmed under G92 P... Accuracy of input 0.00001 (L136).

The unit diameter is calculated as follows:

Tools Working Geometry

The tool reference point is moved from the tool datum to the tool point by the tool offsets.
The tool datum is the plane of contact of the tool carrier (tool holder) with the turret.

The integration in the program is achieved by the word:

offset No.

The word "D0" cancels the tool offsets.

The number of working memories depends on the degree of expansion. Per turret
there are 30 tool offsets. The numbering of the working memories (and offsets) is
continuous and could be divided as follows:

No. of offsets Tool memory D-numbers
