1.1.1 Definition, Influence zone and cancellation of a canned cycle.

Definition of a canned cycle.

The canned cycles are defined using the relevant "G" function and its associated
parameters. The canned cycle may be defined anywhere in the program, in the main
program as well as in a subroutine.

Executing a canned cycle does not change the history of the previous "G" functions
and maintains the spindle turning direction. If it is stopped, it starts clockwise (M03). 1.

MILLING CANNED CYCLES.

General concepts
Influence zone of a canned cycle

The canned cycle is modal. Once a canned cycle has been defined, by program or
MDI/MDA, it stays active until its cancellation is programmed or until one the
conditions that cancels it occurs.

While the canned cycle is active, all the blocks that are programmed are under the
influence of that canned cycle. If inside the influence zone of the canned cycle, a
motion block is executed, the CNC makes the programmed move and then executes
the machining operation corresponding to the canned cycle. If there is a motionless
block inside the influence zone of a canned cycle, the CNC does not repeat the active
canned cycle.

If inside the influence zone of a canned cycle, a motion block is program containing
a number of repetitions (NR command), the CNC executes the programmed
movement and the canned cycle the programmed number of times. If the number of
repetitions is zero, NR0, the CNC will only execute the programmed movement.

G91 Y85 NR3

G90 G01 X0 NR0

Canned cycle cancellation

A cycle is cancelled as follows.

• Using function G80 that may be programmed in any block.
• After defining a new canned cycle. The new canned cycle cancels and replaces
any other cycle that may be active.
• After executing M02, M30 or after an emergency or reset.
• When doing a home search using function G74.
• Selecting another longitudinal axis, with G20 or with #TOOL AX.
• Selecting a new work plane. CNC 8070

1.1.2 Starting plane and reference plane.

There are two coordinates in the machining cycles along the longitudinal axis that
are described next because they are important:
• Starting plane (Zi). Tool coordinate (position) when defining the cycle.
• Reference plane (Z). This plane is programmed in the cycle and represents a part
approaching coordinate. This plane may be programmed in absolute or
incremental coordinates, in which case, it will be referred to the reference plane.

1. Functions G98 and G99 indicate where the tool returns after machining. Both
functions are modal and G98 is assumed by default. These function may be used in
the canned cycle calling block and in the blocks that are under its influence.

1.1.3 Programming the canned cycles.

In the cycle calling block, preparatory (G), technological (F, S) and auxiliary (M, H)
functions must be defined before defining the canned cycle. Functions G98, G99 and
the positioning move to the machining point must also be programmed before.

Blocks N10 (movement) and N11 (canned cycle definition) can also be defined as
a single block being the canned cycle definition at the end.
N10 G99 G1 X60 Y0 F1000 S2000 M4 G81 Z2 I-20

Define a canned cycle in the influence zone of another canned cycle.

Here are two examples for defining a canned cycle in the influence zone of another
active cycle.

1st example. Block N20 cancels the active canned cycle and block N40 activates the
second canned cycle. If block N20 is not programmed, block N30 repeats the canned
cycle defined in block N10.

N30 G1 X200 Y200
N40 G83 Z2 I-2 J5
N50 X220
N60 M30

2nd example. The active canned cycle defined in N10 is canceled when defining a
new one in N30. When executing block N30, it first moves the axes to X200 Y200 and
then it executes the canned cycle G83.

1.1.4 Programming a canned cycle in different planes.

The programming format is always the same, it does not depend on the work plane.
The following examples show how to drill in both axes of the XY plane in both
directions; X axis as abscissa axis and Y axis as ordinate axis

Function G81 defines the drilling canned cycle. The call parameters have the
following meaning.

X/Y/Z Reference coordinate along the longitudinal axis.

1. I Drilling depth.
MILLING CANNED CYCLES.
General concepts

K Dwell at the bottom.

For each type of machine and machining operation the tool's longitudinal axis must
be selected using the #TOO AX instruction so the CNC knows the machining
direction.

In the following examples, the part surface has a 0 coordinate, the holes are 8 mm
deep and the reference coordinate is 2mm above the surface.

Example 1:

1.1.5 Modifying the parameters of a canned cycle.

Inside the influence zone of a canned cycle, it is possible to modify one or several
parameters of the cycle without having to redefine it. After modifying the parameters,
the CNC keeps the canned cycle active and carries out the machining operations with
the updated parameters.

The parameters of the cycle are modified with the V.C.A variable for parameter ·A",
V.C.B for parameter ·B· and so on. The values of these variables are defined in
absolute coordinates with respect to part zero.
1. Here are two programming examples where the work plane is XY (X as abscissa axis
and Y as ordinate axis) and Z as longitudinal axis.

MULTIPLE MACHINING

2
The programmer selects the type of machining that could be any canned cycle.

Programming

The machining paths are defined by the following functions:

G160 Multiple machining in a straight line.
G161 Multiple machining in a parallelogram pattern.
G162 Multiple machining in a grid pattern.
G163 Multiple machining in a full circle.
G164 Multiple machining in an arc.
G165 Machining programmed with an arc-chord.

These functions may be executed in any work plane and must be defined every time
they are used because they not modal.

The machining operation to be repeated MUST BE active. In other words, these

functions will only make sense if they are under the influence (affected by) a canned
cycle.

Follow these steps to carry out a multiple machining operation:

1. Move the tool to the first point where the multiple machining will take place.
2. Define the canned cycle to be repeated at all the points.
3. Define the multiple machining operation to be carried out.

Considerations

All the machining operations programmed with these functions are carried out under
the same working conditions (T, D, F, S) that were selected when the canned cycle
was defined.

Once the programmed multiple machining has been executed, the program will
restore the history that it had before starting the machining operation, the canned
cycle will even remain active. F now being the feedrate for the feedrate programmed
for the canned cycle.

Likewise, the tool will be positioned at the last point where the programmed machining
operation was carried out.

A detailed description is given of the multiple machining operations assuming in all
of them that the work plane is formed by the X and Y axis.

If these parameters are not programmed, the CNC executes the machining
operation at all the points of the programmed path.

Basic operation

Multiple machining is executed as follows:

1. The multiple machining calculates the next programmed point to machine.
2. Movement to that point at the feedrate programmed with "C" (G00, G01, G02 or
G03).
3. The multiple machining will execute the selected canned cycle after the
movement.
4. The CNC will repeat steps 1-2-3 until completing the programmed multiple
machining operation.
After completing the multiple machining, the tool will remain positioned at the last
point of the programmed path where the machining operation took place.

3.1.1 Canned cycle editor configuration.

This softkey may be used to configure the following options of the cycle editor.
• Enable the capability to program the next tool (the one that will be executed after
the cycle) in the cycles. When it is a random magazine, it prepares the tool while
the cycle is being executed, hence reducing the machining time.
• Enable the programming of M functions in the canned cycles, to execute them
before the roughing, semi-finishing and finishing operations. This permits, for
example, to execute subroutines associated with M functions before the various
operations. 3.

CYCLE EDITOR
General concepts
Programming M functions in each operation.

It activates or cancels the execution of M functions before each machining

operation (roughing, finishing or semi-finishing). The editor will only show
these options if the user has configured the editor to allow programming M
functions.

When the option to define M functions is active in the editor, it will offer the option to
edit up to 4 M functions in each cycle. To only execute one M function, define it first
and leave the data for the last 3 functions empty; i.e. do not program them. On the
cycle screens, the display must be activated in order to see and define the M function
data; otherwise, the data will not be displayed.

Programming the next tool.

Activates or deactivates the preparation of the next tool. The editor will only
show these options if the user has configured the editor to allow programming
the next tool.

When it is a random magazine, preparing the tool in advance permits reducing

machining time.

When the option to prepare the next tool is active in the editor, it will offer the option
to edit up it in each cycle. On the cycle screens, the display must be activated in order
to see and define the next tool; otherwise, the data will not be displayed.

3.1.3 Machining movements

There are four work planes in all the operations:

• Starting plane or tool position when calling the cycle Zi). No need to define it.
• Safety plane. It is used for the first approach and to move the tool between
machining operations. It is defined by cycle parameter Zs.
• Part approaching plane. No need to define it. It is calculated by the CNC, 1 mm
off the part surface.

3. • Part surface. It is defined using the Z parameter.

CYCLE EDITOR
General concepts

When executing the cycle, the tool moves in rapid (G0) to the safety plane (Zs):
• If the starting plane is above the safety plane (left figure), it first moves on X, Y
and then on Z.
• If the starting plane is below the safety plane (right figure), it first moves on Z up
to the safety plane and then on X, Y.

Then, it moves in rapid (G0) to the approach plane and finally at working feedrate to
carry out the machining operation.

Once the machining operation has concluded, the tool returns to the safety plane (Zs).

CNC 8070

(REF. 0710)

62
 ‡ ‡ ‡ Milling canned cycles

If it has a multiple machining associated to it, the tool moves in XY, along the safety
plane (Zs), up to the next point to be machined.

The approach plane permits, as in the case of the figure, a fast approach to the
machining surface when the safety plane (Zs) is far away from the part surface.

3.1.4 Selecting data, profiles and icons

Data selection.

To enter or modify a data, it must be selected; i.e. it must have the editing focus on it.

The parameters of the cycles may be selected with the [§] [¨] [©] [ª] keys or with
the direct access keys. The first data of each group may also be selected by pressing
the page-up and page-down keys.

The direct access keys correspond to the name of the parameters; [F] for feedrates,
[T] for tools, etc. Every time the same key is pressed, it selects the next data of the
same type.

Data entry.

Place the cursor in the relevant window, key in the desired value and press [ENTER].
If [ENTER] is not pressed, the new value will not be assumed.

If the Teach-in mode is selected, the current position of the machine may be
associated with a coordinate. Place the cursor in the relevant window and press the
[RECALL] key.

For the X axis parameters, it will take the coordinate of the first axis of the channel
where the edit-simulation mode is active. For the Y axis parameters, the coordinate
of the second axis and for the Z axis parameters, the coordinate of the third one.

Changing the state of an icon.

Place the cursor on the desired icon and press the space bar.

Select - Define a profile.

Place the cursor in the relevant window.

CNC 8070
To select one, press the [] key to expand the list of defined profiles and select one
or key in its name.

To define a new one, key in the desired name or press the [RECALL] key. It accesses
the profile editor.

General concepts

Penetration step I=0:

When programming I=0, it assumes as step the cutting length assigned to the tool
in the tool table.

An error will be issued if the table value is also 0.

Penetration feedrate Fz=0:

When programming Fz=0, the roughing and finishing penetration takes place at half
the milling feedrate "F" selected for each operation.

Penetration angles β=0 and θ=0:

In both cases, when programming 0, it takes the value assigned to the table in the
tool table.

If the table value is also 0, it penetrates vertically, without inclination, 90° angle.

Finishing passes or number of penetrations N=0:

When programming N=0, it carries out the least amount of passes possible,
considering the cutting length assigned to the tool in the tool table.

In pockets and bosses (except in 2D and 3D pockets), if the table value is also 0, it
checks the roughing and finishing tools. If it is the same, the wall finishing is carried
out with tangential entry and exit at each penetration after the roughing operation.

An error will be issued if they are different.

3.1.6 Simulate a canned cycle

At the canned cycle editor, it is possible to simulate the cycle being edited without
having to simulate the whole part-program. During simulation, another canned cycle
may be viewed and edited and it is also possible to return to the program editor.

If the cycle editor is included in the automatic operating mode, it will not be
i possible to simulate a cycle.

Simulating a cycle
3.

CYCLE EDITOR
General concepts
Pressing the [START] icon begins the simulation of the cycle that is being edited. The
simulation may be interrupted with the [STOP] icon or canceled with the [RESET]
icon.

The simulation graphics is always superimposed on the help graphics of the main
cycle. If the cycle has a positioning associated with it, the graphics is superimposed
on the main cycle; in the case of a 2D pocket with drilling, on the pocket.

START STOP RESET

Once the simulation has started, it is maintained until the cycle is over or the [RESET]
icon is pressed. Even when changing cycles or returning to the program editor during
simulation, the previous cycle is still in effect during the simulation.

Cycle simulation window

The graphics window (in simulation) is activated by pressing the [START] icon and
is canceled by pressing the [RESET] icon. This window is placed over the cycle help
graphics; it may be expanded to full screen (or shrunk again) using the key
combination [CTRL]+[G].

The lower left corner of the window indicates the name of the cycle and the simulation
channel, which will be the channel of the program editor from which the cycle editor
has been called.

Configuring the graphic environment

When activating or selecting the graphics window, the horizontal softkey menu shows
the available graphic options. For further information on the graphic options, see the
chapter on the edit-simulation mode of the operation manual.

Some graphic options can also be edited manually. The editing area is only shown
when the window is expanded ([CTRL]+[G]).

The simulated graphics are maintained until erased; i.e. starting to simulate a new
cycle does not erase the previous graphics.
CNC 8070
Best area for displaying the graphics

The display area may be established from the softkey menu associated with the
simulation graphics window or may be left up to the CNC to periodically calculate the
best area.
(REF. 0710)
While the graphics window is visible, the key combination [CTRL]+[D] activates the
calculation of the best area. From that moment on and until quitting the cycle editor,
the CNC periodically calculates the best display are for the graphics. When quitting
the graphics, it will assume as the new display area the one calculated last.

Window for simulation and data editing

While the graphics window is selected, it may be switched to the cycle parameter area
using the direct access keys. If the parameter belongs to a positioning cycle, firs press
[CTRL]+[F2] (window change)

If the cycle is simulated at full screen, the cycle editor may also be accessed by
pressing the [ESC] key. To select the graphics window again, use the key combination
[CTRL]+[G] or [SHIFT]+[G] or [G].

3. The horizontal softkey menu will show the graphic options when the graphics window
has the focus and those of the cycle editor if otherwise.
CYCLE EDITOR
General concepts

The simulation in progress is not interrupted while editing data. If the cycle data is
changed during simulation, they will be assumed for the next simulation of the cycle;
i.e. after RESETting the simulation in progress once it has finished or after a STOP
and RESET to abort it.

3D pocket
CYCLE EDITOR

A pocket consists of an outside contour and a number of inside contours called

islands.

As opposed to 2D pockets, whose walls are vertical, 3D pockets may be defined with
a depth profile different for each contour (up to a maximum of 4 different ones).

The surface profile defines all the contours, the outside one and the inside ones
(islands).

The first 4 contours defined in the surface profile may be assigned their own depth
profiles. The rest of the profiles will be vertical.

The 3D pocket of the figure has 2 contours with "vertical profile" (C and E) and 4
contours with "non-vertical profile" (A, B, D and F).

Since only 4 contours may be defined with "non-vertical profile", contours A, B, D, F

must be defined first and contours C, E at the end.

It is recommended to previously define the #ROUNDPAR instruction in order to obtain

a good finish because the finishing passes are carried out in G05.

For the outside contour, one for the surface (1).
For the islands, one for the base (2).

All the profiles must be open and without direction changes along their travel CNC 8070

When defining the contours in the surface profile, all these cases follow the

The top right-hand example has left out all the vertical depth profiles: Z1(A),

The lower example is programmed wrong because none of the vertical profiles
have been defined.
If the profile of the island (D) is not defined, the cycle interprets that the island
reaches the surface plane and will machine the island (D').

The cycle assumes the lower left point as the starting point. If it is not, define with
the proper sign the distances between holes lx and ly.

The number of machining operations "N" must also include the one for the cycle
defining point.

Programming example:

The canned cycle defined at point X25, Y25 is to be repeated at the rest of the points.

(25,75) (100,75)

(25,25) (100,25)

We now show the 3 possible ways to define it.

1) Lengths in X, Y Lx 75, Ly 50

Number of machining operations in X and Y Nx 4, Ny 3

Rotation angle α0

Angle between paths β 90

2) Number of machining operations in X and Y Nx 4, Ny 3

Distance between machining operations in X and Y Ix 25, Iy 25

Rotation angle α0

Angle between paths β 90

3) Lengths in X, Y Lx 75, Ly 50

Distance between machining operations in X and Y Ix 25, Iy 25

3. The starting point is the cycle defining point.

The rest of the points (P2) to (P12) must be defined in the area for multiple machining.

Random multiple machining

When not using all the points, define the first unused point with the same coordinates
as those of the last point of the profile.

Programming example:

The canned cycle defined at point X25, Y25 is to be repeated at the rest of the points.

75
(P6) (P7)

50
(P5) (P4)

25
(P1) (P2) (P3)

25 50 75 100

The canned cycle is defined at point (P1) X25, Y25

The rest of the points (P2) to (P7) must be defined in the area for multiple machining.

Since there are only 7 points, you must define (P8) = (P7).

(P2) X 50 Y 25

(P3) X 100 Y 25

(P4) X 75 Y 50

(P5) X 50 Y 50

(P6) X 25 Y 75

(P7) X 100 Y 75

(P8) X 100 Y 75
