Seminar: WoodWOP 4.0

Aim of the seminar: Independent programming of drilling and

routing in the programming system
WoodWOP 4.0

Conditions: 1. The participant is responsible for the

program creation on or for the machine
2. Motivation

Contents of the Seminars*

This is a basis seminar, in that the participants are taught how to program the machine.
The program structure is elaborated step by step by means of practices.
The seminar does not include the machine operating. The instructions for the machine operat-
ing occur on site, within the framework of the installation of the machine through the service
engineer.
* subject to change

Behavior during the education and breaks:

• Walk into the production field and into the demonstrating center is only permitted if you are
accompanied by an employee from Weeke.
• Do never leave during the stay in the production field the yellow marked transport paths
seeing that security measures such as light barriers, safety mats and safety fences are
missing for manufacturing reasons during the running-in of the machines. Danger!
• Avoid unnecessary stays outside of the training room.
• Smoking in the training rooms is prohibited.
• Please do not stay on the WEEKE company grounds if you are not accompanied by an
WEEKE employee.
• The opening of machine sheeting or the operation of a machine is only permitted under
supervision of WEEKE employees.
• During the training on machines and aggregates, suitable protective outfit must be worn.

• Through the function "assign tool to a

routing spindle", the data of the "desired T-
function“ are automatically replaced
through the data of the specified "tool
number" from the aggregates database.

Example:
Tool number 128 is assigned to T001

T:\9882\\428010\\E0031SO.PCX

T:\9882\\551070\\E0004so.pcx

Í The data of the routing aggregate T001

are being replaced by the data which are
T:\9882\\551070\\X0005so.pcx
defined in the aggregates database under
tool number 128.

Attention:
Exclusively the data which have been en-
tered in the list of parameters for
T001/T002, may influence processing, no
matter whether the data has been defined
directly (by selection via symbols) or by
means of the function „Assign tool to a
routing spindle“ (in the aggregate database).
That means:
The data in the list of parameters for
T001/T002 must always correspond to the
current tool on the routing spindle.
Non-observance can lead to collisions dur-
ing processing and therefore to danger to
life due to workpieces which are being
thrown out.

3.2 NC-Generation

From the WoodWOP program chap. 3.1 an

NC program should be generated, consid-
ering the following criteria!
-processing on place 1 and 4
-optimised NC program
-after processing end, the support should
displace 500mm next to the workpiece

Proceed as follows:

• Choose NC-generation in horizontal selec-

tion bar or pressî

• choose NC generation in vertical selection
bar
Í
• Carry out setting-up (see below)
• Start NC generator

Setting-up while NC generation:

Optimizing mode for vertical drilling

The selected mode defines in how far the
processing order is optimized.
0 Optimizing within the drilling macros
only
The order of processing as pro-
grammed remains unchanged.
1 All vertical drillings are optimized
and processed first.
2 All vertical and horizontal drillings
are optimized.
First, all vertical drillings are carried T:\9882\\473980\\E00006so.pcx

out, then the horizontal ones.

Movement mode for horizontal drilling

The chosen mode defines at which point a
security run through is carried out for hori-
zontal drillings.
0 Only in-between horizontal drillings
on different sides of the workplace Z
is moved to security height
1 After each drilling cycle Z is moved
to security height
2 After each drilling cycle Z is moved

8.2 9-882-38-4002 E0011.DOC 30 / 82

 Seminar
WW4.5 3.8.4

to security height and the drilling

gear moves into basic position.

Free motion mode

The combination of the selected mode and
the free motion value defines the positioning
of the support at the end of the program.
0 After the last processing the support
moves back in Z-direction into rest
position (max. positive Z-value) and
the program is concluded.
1 After the last processing the support T:\9882\\473980\\X00007so.wmf

moves back in Z-direction into rest

position (max. positive Z-value) and 1 Free motion value for free travel mode
then in left X-direction by the free 1
motion value (Place4/8: right) next to 2 Free motion value for free travel mode

the workpiece. Only then the pro-
gram is concluded.
2 After the last processing the support
moves back in Z-direction into rest
position (max. positive Z-value) and
then to the X-position as defined by
the free motion value. Only then the
program is concluded.

Free motion value

This value indicates the dimension for the
positioning of the support at the end of the
program.
The interpretation of the value depends on
the selected free motion mode.
When selecting free motion mode 0 the free
motion value will be neglected.

Note:
The chosen settings are memorised to-
gether with the macro program.

Parameter in the macro contour routing

Approach and withdrawal:

Approach and return can be executed
automatically with WoodWOP:

• tangential
(The processing start and end points will
be shifted under the angle of the first and
last elements respectively by one value
whose size depends on the routing radius.)

• lateral
(Approach and withdrawal are executed in
a quarter circle. The size of the radius de-
pends on the routing radius.)

• vertically from above

(The router begins/ends the processing at
the programmed start/end point)

T:\\9882\\473070\\X00715TD.WMF

Side:
Routing midpoint path in the feed direction
of the tool

Distance:
0:
The routing process will be executed exactly
according to the programmed coordinates,
i.e. the measurement of the finished piece
will correspond to the programmed values of
the contour definition.

> 0:
The correction of the router’s midpoint path
will be increased by this value, i.e. the con-
tour will be continually increased by this
value. (Application: rough-cutting, sanding)
T:\\9882\\473070\\X00705TD.WMF
< 0:
The correction of the router’s midpoint path
will be decreased by this value. I.e. the
contour will be created continually smaller
by this value.

8.2 9-882-38-4002 E0011.DOC 51 / 82

WW4.5 3.8.4

Z-dimension (given absolute or relative):

An absolute value (e.g. -3) is valid for the
entire contour path, regardless of which Z
measurement was programmed in the con-
tour path.
Or the relative input (e.g. @2) is added to Z=-3
the Z measurement of the contour path. The
various Z measurements of the contour path
will be taken into account.

T:\\9882\\473070\\X00706TD.PCX

Engage on the fly::

In the approach and withdrawal movement,
the Z dimension is moved from the clear-
ance height to the processing height.
For example, this parameter is used for
inside routing.

T:\\9882\\473070\\X00716TD.WMF

1 Immersion way

If the routing process is executed with the

icon for vertical approach, then the length of
the engage path refers to the length of the
previous element.

If the routing process is executed with the

symbol for horizontal or tangential ap-
proach, then the length of the engage path
refers to the length of the approach move-
ment. This is dependent on the radius or
collision radius of the tool.

Note:
Engage on the fly with a vertical approach
can only be executed with closed contour
definitions (starting and end point identical).

Angle Rotating angle around the Z axis. If the angle is not equal to 0, then new
coordinate systems will be inserted.

isting variables file to be inserted will be ignored; i.e. the variable values of the current
document will be used. This is applicable when the piece to be inserted
has the same variables as the main piece and must refer to those val-
ues (for example connection processing on work areas).

Index multiple exist- If the variable names already are available, then they will be numbered.

plicable when the same file is added to several times (for example

Display text Explanation

Set the offset in the The indicated offset values are calculated in the parameter inputs of the
parameters processing macros and the contour elements. Example: from the X pa-
rameter 200.5 and the entered X offset 150 comes the new X parameter
expression "200.5+150". This option is applicable if a piece is to be
fixed into an existing piece, e.g. a cut-out for a sink in a work plate.
New contour with A new coordinate system is generated automatically at the insert point..
new coordinate sys- The coordinate system is offset or rotated by the offset and angle indi-
tem and offset cated above. The parameters of the file to be added stay the same. But
the contour paths and processing to be added will refer to the new coor-
dinate system. This option is applicable when a piece must be rotated
and rearranged in the existing piece, for example inserting a complete
piece with several contours that must be offset and rotated. The offset
of the complete piece occurs by offsetting the corresponding coordinate
system.
The value of the X, Y or Z offset and the rotating angle of the new coor-
dinate system can be changed via the menu bar with Extras - Coordi-
nate systems.
Optimizing the order The processing order will be optimized for minimal tool changes. The
of operations relative processing order in the current list and the additional processing
list will not be changed or optimized. If this option is not selected, then
the processing list of the new file simply will be added to the existing list.
Mirror pieces The mirrored piece will be inserted. The contour paths and the individual
processing will refer to mirrored coordinate systems. The _mirror and
_nonmirror variables are renamed and set to 0 or 1 (this way mirrored
processing sequences become active!) In addition, the tool radius cor-
rection will be adapted accordingly. This option is recommended when a
regular and a mirrored piece are to be processed simultaneously on the
machine.
This can be selected only in connection with the setting "Calculate offset
with new coordinate systems."
Adjust the part size After inserting a piece with new coordinate systems, it is possible to
adapt the changed workpiece size automatically. This setting is applica-
ble when an optimal table arrangement is to be reached using the add
feature.
This can be selected only in connection with the setting "Calculate offset
with new coordinate systems."
