SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The machine is equipped with safety devices which serve to protect personnel Eeoemmppl001
and the machine
itself from hazards arising from unforeseen accidents. However, operators must not rely exclusively
on these safety devices: they must also become fully familiar with the safety guidelines presented
below to ensure accident-free operation.
This instruction manual and the warning signs attached to the machine cover only those hazards
which Okuma can predict. Be aware that they do not cover all possible hazards.

1. Precautions Relating to Machine Installation

Eeoemmppl002
(1) Install the machine at a site where the following conditions (the conditions for achievement of
the guaranteed accuracy) apply.
• Ambient temperature:17 to 25°C
• Ambient humidity:40% to 75% at 20°C (no condensation)
• Site not subject to direct sunlight or excessive vibration; environment as free of dust, acid,
corrosive gases, and salt spray as possible.
(2) Prepare a primary power supply that complies with the following requirements.
• Voltage: 200 V
• Voltage fluctuation: ±10% max.
• Power supply frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Do not draw the primary power supply from a distribution panel that also supplies a major
noise source (for example, an electric welder or electric discharge machine) since this could
cause malfunction of the CNC unit.
• If possible, connect the machine to a ground not used by any other equipment. If there is no
choice but to use a common ground, the other equipment must not generate a large amount
of noise (such as an electric welder or electric discharge machine).
(3) Installation Environment
Observe the following points when installing the control enclosure.
• Make sure that the CNC unit will not be subject to direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the control enclosure will not be splashed with chips, water, or oil.
• Make sure that the control enclosure and operation panel are not subject to excessive vibra-
tions or shock.
• The permissible ambient temperature range for the control enclosure is 0 to 40°C.
• The permissible ambient humidity range for the control enclosure is 30 to 95% (no conden-
sation).
• The maximum altitude at which the control enclosure can be used is 1000 m (3281ft.).

2. Points to Check before Turning on the Power

Eeoemmppl003
(1) Close all the doors of the control enclosure and operation panel to prevent the entry of water,
chips, and dust.
(2) Make absolutely sure that there is nobody near the moving parts of the machine, and that there
are no obstacles around the machine, before starting machine operation.
(3) When turning on the power, turn on the main power disconnect switch first, then the CONTROL
ON switch on the operation panel.
 4691-E P-(ii)
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

3. Precautions Relating to Operation

Eeoemmppl004
(1) After turning on the power, carry out inspection and adjustment in accordance with the daily
inspection procedure described in this instruction manual.
(2) Use tools whose dimensions and type are appropriate for the work undertaken and the machine
specifications. Do not use badly worn tools since they can cause accidents.
(3) Do not, for any reason, touch the spindle or tool while spindle indexing is in progress since the
spindle could rotate: this is dangerous.
(4) Check that the workpiece and tool are properly secured.
(5) Never touch a workpiece or tool while it is rotating: this is extremely dangerous.
(6) Do not remove chips by hand while machining is in progress since this is dangerous. Always
stop the machine first, then remove the chips with a brush or broom.
(7) Do not operate the machine with any of the safety devices removed. Do not operate the
machine with any of the covers removed unless it is necessary to do so.
(8) Always stop the machine before mounting or removing a tool.
(9) Do not approach or touch any moving part of the machine while it is operating.
(10) Do not touch any switch or button with wet hands. This is extremely dangerous.
(11) Before using any switch or button on the operation panel, check that it is the one intended.

4. Precautions Relating to the ATC

(1) The tool clamps of the magazine, spindle, etc., are designed for reliability,Eeoemmppl005
but it is possible that
a tool could be released and fall in the event of an unforeseen accident, exposing you to dan-
ger: do not touch or approach the ATC mechanism during ATC operation.
(2) Always inspect and change tools in the magazine in the manual magazine interrupt mode.
(3) Remove chips adhering to the magazine at appropriate intervals since they can cause misoper-
ation. Do not use compressed air to remove these chips since it will only push the chips further
in.
(4) If the ATC stops during operation for some reason and it has to be inspected without turning the
power off, do not touch the ATC since it may start moving suddenly.

5. On Finishing Work
(1) On finishing work, clean the vicinity of the machine. Eeoemmppl006
(2) Return the ATC, APC and other equipment to the predetermined retraction position.
(3) Always turn off the power to the machine before leaving it.
(4) To turn off the power, turn off the CONTROL ON switch on the operation panel first, then the
main power disconnect switch.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

6. Precautions during Maintenance Inspection and When

Trouble Occurs
Eeoemmppl007
In order to prevent unforeseen accidents, damage to the machine, etc., it is essential to observe the
following points when performing maintenance inspections or during checking when trouble has
occurred.
(1) When trouble occurs, press the emergency stop button on the operation panel to stop the
machine.
(2) Consult the person responsible for maintenance to determine what corrective measures need to
be taken.
(3) If two or more persons must work together, establish signals so that they can communicate to
confirm safety before proceeding to each new step.
(4) Use only the specified replacement parts and fuses.
(5) Always turn the power off before starting inspection or changing parts.
(6) When parts are removed during inspection or repair work, always replace them as they were
and secure them properly with their screws, etc.
(7) When carrying out inspections in which measuring instruments are used - for example voltage
checks - make sure the instrument is properly calibrated.
(8) Do not keep combustible materials or metals inside the control enclosure or terminal box.
(9) Check that cables and wires are free of damage: damaged cables and wires will cause current
leakage and electric shocks.
(10) Maintenance inside the Control Enclosure
a) Switch the main power disconnect switch OFF before opening the control enclosure door.
b) Even when the main power disconnect switch is OFF, there may some residual charge in the
MCS drive unit (servo/spindle), and for this reason only service personnel are permitted to
perform any work on this unit. Even then, they must observe the following precautions.
• MCS drive unit (servo/spindle)
The residual voltage discharges two minutes after the main switch is turned OFF.
c) The control enclosure contains the NC unit, and the NC unit has a printed circuit board
whose memory stores the machining programs, parameters, etc. In order to ensure that the
contents of this memory will be retained even when the power is switched off, the memory is
supplied with power by a battery. Depending on how the printed circuit boards are handled,
the contents of the memory may be destroyed and for this reason only service personnel
should handle these boards.
(11) Periodic Inspection of the Control Enclosure
a) Cleaning the cooling unit
The cooling unit in the door of the control enclosure serves to prevent excessive temperature
rise inside the control enclosure and increase the reliability of the NC unit. Inspect the follow-
ing points every three months.
• Is the fan motor inside the cooling unit working?
The motor is normal if there is a strong draft from the unit.
• Is the external air inlet blocked?
If it is blocked, clean it with compressed air.

Eeoemmpt1001
The I-MAP edit function creates a part program newly or edit the part program already made and
stored in the NC memory. Creation or editing of a program can be accomplished easily in interactive
mode using the interactive I-MAP function, point calculation function and menu type playback func-
tion added to conventionally available program editing function.
These functions can be accessed as required in making or editing a program, permitting highly effi-
cient programming.

2-1. File Editing Function

Creation and editing of part program are possible by this function. Programs may Eeoemmpt1002
be edited (writing,
alteration, insertion, deletion. etc.) using the display screen. This function is called the "screen edi-
tor".
The program editing function has sub functions to make programming easier. These sub functions
include the "interactive I-MAP function" and "point calculation function". During programming and
program editing operations, required function can be accessed at any point as many times as nec-
essary.
The part program completed using the program editing function is registered in the memory at the
time the programming and editing operations have been completed.

2-2. Interactive I-MAP Function

Various patterns of machining operations are pre-programmed and accessedEeoemmpt1003
as required. Select a
required pattern from the pattern selection screen. Guide drawings appear to navigate you when
setting the selected pattern data. The available patterns include:
• Fixed cycles (such as boring, drilling)
• Area machining (such as face milling, pocket milling)
• Hole position pattern (such as line at angle, bolt hole circle)
• Circle cutting cycle (such as CW circle cutting cycle, cycle cancel)

SECTION 1 I-MAP EDIT FUNCTION

When you finish setting of each pattern data, create a program (normally 1-block) from the set data
in the NC program format and insert it using the BLOCK INSERT command into the program being
edited.
The interactive I-MAP function includes a function for reverse conversion of a pattern cycle. Reverse
conversion means that the I-MAP generates and displays the above guide drawing from a fixed
cycle, area machining cycle, hole position pattern, or circle cutting cycle which is already inserted in
the NC program as a 1-block program data. Reverse conversion allows easy confirmation and cor-
rection of already created pattern cycle programs.

SECTION 1 I-MAP EDIT FUNCTION

2-3. Point Calculation Function

The I-MAP creates the NC program by picking up the point data from a partEeoemmpt1004
drawing and entering
them in the program. In this process, the point calculation function allows you to interactively calcu-
late the point data not expressed in the drawing and enter the calculation results in units of words
into the program being created by the program edit function.
The point calculation function displays the guide drawing as an object for calculation, and guides
you through data entry at the required data setting items by highlighting a graphic element of the
drawing.
Since the screen shows not only values but also the detailed drawing, you can check the calculation
result securely and easily.

Eeoemmpt1005
This function allows you to write the actual machine positions (X, Y, Z) in the program.
The data items required to create 1-block NC program are displayed on a screen, where you can
interactively set the required data such as position data. When all data are set, the NC creates 1-
block program from the set data according to the NC program format, and then inserts the block into
the program being edited or created using the program edit function.

2-5. Operation Preparation Function

When program editing is completed and the program is registered in the memory, Eeoemmpt1006
this function auto-
matically selects the program. This means the created or edited program is automatically trans-
ferred to the operation buffer, eliminating the need to select the program in the automatic mode (the
file name must be specified in usual case).
Simply select the automatic mode and press CYCLE START, and the machine executes the created
or edited program immediately.

program being created or edited.
The NC system has two unit systems, which can be selected by parameter setting.
(1) Program unit system
This unit system is used when the control interprets the NC program for calculation.
The unit system can be selected from 1 mm, 1 µm, and 1 inch by data setting at the relevant NC
optional parameter on the INPUT UNIT SYSTEM screen.
(2) Data setting unit system
This unit system is used when setting data such as tool offset value. The unit system can be
also selected at the relevant NC optional parameter on the INPUT UNIT SYSTEM screen.

10. Unit System for Setting Feedrate F

I-MAP accepts two different feedrate commands; F1-digit command and F4-digit Eeoemmpt1017
command. There-
fore, unlike the other data, different unit systems are used for the feedrate F depending on the com-
mand.
If an integer is entered as the feedrate, the integer is set as it is on the data setting screen regard-
less of the selected unit system.
If a real number is entered as the feedrate, it is set on the data setting screen in units of "1 mm/min".
Example : When "1" is entered and WRITE is pressed, feedrate F1 is set.
When "1." is entered and WRITE is pressed, feedrate F1. is set.
To create a block of NC program from the data set on the screen, the NC converts the integer F data
into the F integer command regardless of the program unit system. Meanwhile, it converts the real F
data into the F real number command according to the program unit system.

[Supplement]
The feedrate input range is from 0 to 99999.9.

[Supplement]
1) In the normal editing mode, contents of editing are lost and the file returns to the one before
starting editing.
2) In the direct editing mode, although file erasure is avoided contents of editing on the part read
into the editing memory are lost. Only this part returns to the data before starting editing.

2-15-1. Editing Symbol

Eeoemmpt2023
If the power is shut off during editing, the editing symbol is appended at the first data block of the file
having been edited.

EIOEMMPT2015R01

Fig.2-13 Editing Symbol

This symbol is deleted when editing is started for the same file after reading it and, therefore, the
symbol is not displayed on the screen.

2-15-2. Alarm

Procedure :
Eeoemmpt2024
1 As a notification of the occurrence of power shut down during editing, the following message is
displayed when the power is turned on.
4248 Alarm D Error File "file name"
At the same time, the error file name is registered to the file of "MD0:ERROR.BAK" (or
"MD0:ERROR.LOG").

2 The alarm message indicated below is displayed if the file for which the editing symbol is
appended is executed. (The editing symbol is displayed at the beginning of the display of the
program for operation.)
2230 Alarm B Urnsable : direct of left side

2-15-3. File Editing Starting Processing

Eeoemmpt2025
At the start of file editing, if the first data block is being edited the following message is displayed.
FILE EDITING WAS INTERRUPTED BY POWER SHUTDOWN. CHECK THE EDITED DATA.
Although erasure of the file being edited when the power is shut off is avoided, contents of editing for
the part read into the editing memory are cleared and the file in this memory is the one before edit-
ing. Therefore, it is necessary to check the contents of editing.

SECTION 3 INTERACTIVE I-MAP FUNCTION

SECTION 3 INTERACTIVE I-MAP FUNCTION

1. Fundamental Concept
The interactive I-MAP function is provided to make MAP cycle NC programs Eeoemmpt3001
indicated below easily
in interactive programming mode.
• Fixed cycles (hole machining) such as drilling, boring and tapping
• Hole position patterns (point calculation) such as line at ange and bolt hole cycle
• Milling cycles (area machining) such as face milling, pocket milling and round milling

The required pattern is first selected by displaying the menu type guide drawings on the display
screen. The parameters and guide drawing are then displayed in response to the selected pattern
allowing simple data input for making a program.
After all data have been set for the parameters displayed, fixed cycle program in the NC program
format is generated based on the input data and inserted into the program being created or edited
using the BLOCK INSERT.
Note that this function has the reverse conversion function of the MAP cycle, which generated the
data setting display screen including the guide drawing display as indicated above from the one
block data. This reverse conversion function allows easy confirmation and editing of the MAP cycle
program already made.

(7) These pattern cycles are carried out with the spindle rotating in the forward (M03) direction.
Note that the M03 mode is effective after the completion of a cycle.
(8) Because the cutter diameter is calculated by multiplying the value set for the cutter radius com-
pensation number by two times, pay due attention if the actual cutter radius differs from the
value set for the compensation number.
(9) Because the cutter diameter is calculated by multiplying the value set for the cutter radius com-

(10) In the round milling corner rounding/chamfering (outside) cycle, there may be areas left uncut
due to the tool paths which are generated in these cycles. In such cases, four corners must be
machined in advance when such cycles are used.
(11) When using these pattern cycles, set "0" for optional parameter (bit) No,2, bit7(buffering). Data
processing will take a little long time.

The items (9) (11) are supplemental explanations of the following cycles.
• Circle pocket milling
• Circle round milling (outside and inside)
• Round milling corner rounding (outside and inside)
• Round milling corner chamfering (outside)

3-4-7. Restrictions
(1) The following mode does not allow the use of these pattern cycles. Eeoemmpt3021
a) Cutter radius compensation mode (G41, G42)
b) 3-D cutter radius compensation mode (G44)
c) Fixed cycle mode
(2) For these patterns, infeed axis is fixed to Z-axis with the infeed direction in the negative direc-
tion. Therefore, area machining plane is only the X-Y plane (G17) and other planes cannot be
used.
 4691-E P-92
SECTION 3 INTERACTIVE I-MAP FUNCTION

(3) Pattern cycles cannot be called using the U, V, and W axes.

(4) Return to the upper level using the M52 code is not allowed.
(5) Each pattern uses the local variables as indicated below. Therefore, the user's program can
use the following number of local variables.
Number of Local Variables
Number of Local Variables
which can be Used in a
Used in a Pattern Cycle
User's program
Circle pocket milling 40 215
Circle round milling (outside) 37 218

(outside)
Round milling corner rounding
54 201
(inside)
Round milling corner chamfering
56 199
(outside)
If more than one pattern cycle is used in a single program, check the number of local variables
of the pattern cycle which uses the largest number of local variables.
(6) Nesting level of the circle pocket and circle round programs is three and that of the round milling
corner rounding and corner chamfering is four. Therefore, the allowable nesting for a user's pro-
gram is limited to five or four.
(7) If both of F1- and F4-digit commands are alowed, feedrate commands are interpreted as indi-
cated below.

F1 F1-digit feed
F1. F1-digit feed
F1.1 F1-digit feed
F9 9mm/min (When feedrate unit is 1 mm/min)

F500 F1-digit feed

EIOEMMPT3056R01

If an F command value is 1 to 8, it is assumed to be F1-digit command. In addition to these

cases, the command using a real number such as 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0, is also interpreted as
F1-digit feedrate command.
However, for the 4-set F1-digit command specification, numerical values which are interpreted
as F1-digit command are 1 to 4.

Note
The restrictions from (2) to (7) are applied to round pocket milling, circle round milling (outside and
inside), round milling corner rounding (outside and inside), and round milling corner chamfering
(outside).

CAUTION
If any of F1 to F8 commands is given without conformance to the above restriction (7), the axis
may move at a higher feedrate than expected by the operator, causing a dangerous situation.

3-4-14. Details of Pattern Cycles

Eeoemmpt3027
[For details regarding face milling, pocket milling, and round milling, refer to Programming Manual.]
This section explains the individual pattern cycles assuming that the cutting starting point is 5 mm
away from the workpiece edge.
(1) Round Pocket Milling
Taking the point designated by (X, Y) as the center, the circle area defined by radius I is cut by
generating spiral paths to the level which is defined by K (finish allowance) + finish surface (Z-
point level); each path level is defined by Q. Finish allowance is left in the radial direction as
well.
Operation Sequence:
a) On the X-Y plane, positioning is carried out to the center point (starting point) of the circle
pocket.
b) Positioning of Z-axis is carried out to the R-point level.
c) Z-axis is fed by Q from R-point level at a feedrate FB.
d) X-axis is fed by cutting width at a feedrate FC.
e) A full circle is cut in the counterclockwise direction (G03) at a feedrate F.
f) Steps d) and e) are repeated until the position which is defined by the "finish allowance +
stock of cutting width" is reached.
g) If approach radius A is designated, the approach circle and cutting circle directions are
determined according to the plus or minus sign of A; final cutting process is carried out in the
order of "approach", "full circle", and "retract".
If approach radius A is not designated, steps d) and e) are repeated again and X-axis
returns in the negative direction by cutting width.
h) Z-axis returns to the R-point level and X and Y axis positioning is carried out to the center of
circle pocket.
Then, Z-axis positioning is carried out from R-point level to a point 1 mm away from the pre-
vious infeed level at a cutting feedrate FA. After that, Z-axis is fed by "Q+1" mm at a feedrate
FB. At this level, steps d) to g) are carried out.
i) Step (h) is carried out until the level which is defined by the finish allowance and finish sur-
face is reached. Z-axis returns to the R-point level to end the pattern cycle.

Taking the point designated by (X, Y) as the center, the outside of the circle defined by radius I
is cut to the level which is defined by K (finish allowance) + finish surface (Z-point level). Finish
allowance K is left in the radial direction as well.
Operation Sequence:
a) On the X-Y plane, positioning is carried out to the center point of the circle.
b) Positioning is carried out to the cutting starting point according to the U command.
Here, the cutting starting point is defined as the point where the tool periphery is 5 mm away
from the workpiece edge in either X or Y direction.

drate FA.
e) X- or Y-axis is fed to the cutting center of the circle by cutting width at a cutting feedrate FC.
f) A full circle is cut in the clockwise direction (G03) at a feedrate F.
g) Steps e) and f) are repeated until the position which is defined by the "finish allowance +
stock of cutting width" is reached.
h) If approach radius A is designated, the approach circle and cutting circle directions are
determined according to the plus or minus sign of A; final cutting process is carried out in the
order of "approach", "full circle", and "retract".
i) If approach radius A is not designated, steps e) and f) are repeated again and X-axis or Y-
axis returns by cutting width.
j) Z-axis returns to the R-point level and the circle ends.

Taking the point designated by (X, Y) as the center, the inside of the circle defined by radius I is
cut to the level which is defined by K (finish allowance) + finish surface (Z-point level). Finish
allowance K is left in the radial direction as well.
Operation Sequence:
a) On the X-Y plane, positioning is carried out to the center point of the circle.
Here, the cutting starting point is defined as the point X-axis is fed from the center of the cir-
cle in the positive direction by "I - Q - cutter radius compensation value -5 mm". That is, the
tool periphery is 5 mm away from the workpiece edge in the X direction.

h) If approach radius A is designated, the approach circle and cutting circle directions are
determined according to the plus or minus sign of A; final cutting process is carried out in the
order of "approach", "full circle", and "retract".
If approach radius A is not designated, steps e) and f) are repeated again and X-axis or Y-

d) X-axis or Y-axis is fed in the infeed direction by cutting width at a feedrate FC.
e) The periphery is cut in the clockwise direction at a feedrate F. On corners, cutting is carried
out after the remaining stock becomes smaller than the rounding value L. Feedrate for cut-
ting a corner area is "0.75 x F".
f) Steps d) and e) are repeated until the position which is defined by the "finish allowance +
stock of cutting width" is reached.
g) If approach radius A is designated, the approach circle and cutting circle directions are
determined according to the plus or minus sign of A; final cutting process is carried out in the
order of "approach", "full circle", and "retract".
If approach radius A is not designated, steps e) and f) are repeated again and X-axis or Y-
axis returns by cutting width.

3-5-8. Supplementary Explanations for Circle Cutting Cycle Programming

(1) Both Z and R commands must be designated in absolute values. Eeoemmpt3035
(2) In the true circle cycle, the following alarm occurs if any of the following occurs.
ARARM-B 2215 Program bad direct: numericak data
a) Any of Z, R, I, A, D, and F is not set.
b) Either I or A command value is negative or zero (0).
c) I (true circle radius) £A (approach radius)
(3) The true circle cutting cycle is allowed only on the X-Y plane. If the true circle cutting cycle is
called on other plane, an alarm occurs.
(4) When the true circle cutting cycle is executed, the spindle start command M03 is automatically
designated and the spindle rotates in the forward direction. After the completion of the cycle,
the M03 code remains effective.
(5) If both of F1- and F4-digit commands are allowed, feedrate commands are interpreted as indi-
cated below.

F1 F1-digit feed
F1. F1-digit feed
F1.1 1.1mm/min
(When feedrate unit is 1 mm/min)
F500 500mm/min
EIOEMMPT3088R01

If an F command value is 1 to 8, it is assumed to be F1-digit command. In addition to these

cases, a real number such as 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0, the command is interpreted as F1-digit fee-
drate command.
(6) Nesting level of the circle cutting cycle is two. therefore, the allowable nesting for a user's pro-
gram is limited to six.
(7) In the true circle cutting cycle, ten local variables are used. Therefore, the user's program can
use max. 245 local variables.
 4691-E P-128
SECTION 3 INTERACTIVE I-MAP FUNCTION

CAUTION
1) Since the true circle cutting cycle can be executed by the G code macros of MODIN type, it is
necessary to set the NC optional parameter (bit) No. 34 bit 3 to "1".
NC optional parameter bit No. 34 bit 3
1 : System G code macros 300-349 are MODIN type.
0 : System G code macros 300-349 are CALL type.
2) When the setting for optional parameter (bit) No. 3, bit 6 is "1", i.e., the setting allows the use
of a decimal point, dimensional values must be set in units of 1 mm or 1 inch. In other cases,
the values must be given in the unit system set by the optional parameter (bit) No. 3.
Example:
Setting for optional parameter (bit) No. 3, bit 6 = 1
Numerical values are interpreted as indicated below depending on the values are real or inte-
ger.

Real mm Integer µm
X = 1.0 .................. Interpreted as 1 mm
X = 1 ..................... Interpreted as 1 mm
Interpreted as 1 µm in usual programs

3) If any of F1 to F8 commands is given without conformance to the above restriction (5), the axis
may move at a higher feedrate than expected by the operator, causing a dangerous situation.

In the true circle cutting cycle, a block of commands preceded by G336 (G337) does not execute the
cycle; it simply establishes the true circle cutting mode. The true circle cutting cycle is executed only
after axis motion commands are executed. After this, the circle cutting cycle is called and executed
each time axis motion commands are executed.

3-5-10. Operation Sequence of Circle Cutting Cycle

(1) Z-axis is positioned at the R-point level at a rapid feedrate. Eeoemmpt3037
(2) Z-axis is fed from the R-point level to the Z-point level at a feedrate FA. If FA is not designated
in the program, it is calculated by FA = 2 x F.
(3) X and Y axis move to the approach starting point at a feedrate of "2 x F".
(4) Approach motion is carried out in radius A at a feedrate F.
(5) A full circle of radius I is cut at a cutting feedrate F.
(6) Retract motion is carried out in radius A at a feedrate F.
(7) X and Y axis return to the programmed point at a feedrate "2 x F".
(8) Z-axis returns to the R-point level.
The above sequence is carried out when axis motion is called in the true circle cutting mode;
the true circle cutting cycle is carried out after the completion of programmed axis motion.
Therefore, when the true circle cutting cycle is carried out continuously, the same circle is cut if
axis motion of only Z-axis is designated.
Steps (4), (5) and (6) are carried out continuously even in the single block mode.

(1) If a 1-block program contains defective data in execution of pattern reverse conversion, the pop-
up window appears to indicate it as an error, while the data setting column shows nothing. The
non-defective data are all set even when defective data is found.
If the 1-block program contains two or more defective data, the I-MAP shows the error of only
the first data.

(2) When reverse conversion of a pattern cycle is attempted, data in the program block is automat-
ically developed to the data and set at parameters on the data setting page.
Block alter operation generates one block data of NG program from the data set at the data set-
ting page.
This means that reverse conversion and block alter operations delete the data not set at the

1. Basic Concept
The function creates a program by reading and entering the axis position data Eeoemmpt4001
while actually carry-
ing out machining using the manual rapid feed, manual cutting feed, pulse handle feed, and other
manual operating functions. The program is created in the background mode.
The data items required to create one block of NC program are displayed in one display page and
the data including the position data is set through interactive operation. At the completion of data
setting for all data setting items, one block of NC program is created using the set data in the NC
program format; it is written to the program which is being created or corrected using the program
edit function.

The function key [F3] (CAL) is used to read the coordinate values X, Y, and/or Eeoemmpt4006
Z of the actual posi-
tion for the setting value.
When a numerical value is input in this data setting operation, the total value of the current position
coordinate value and the input numerical value is taken as the setting value.
The [F3] (CAL) is effective only when the cursor is at the data column of POSITION X, Y or Z.
In summary,
• [F3] (CAL) WRITE
Actual position coordinate value is set
• [F3] (CAL) [numerical-value] WRITE
"Actual position + input numerical value is set.

SECTION 5 POINT CALCULATION FUNCTION

1. Fundamental Concept
Eeoemmpt5001
Coordinate values of point not known from the part drawing is calculated by defining the shape ele-
ments which determine the point in question and input calculated coordinate values into the pro-
gram being edited.
Here, the shape elements are called as indicated below :
The shape element placed before the unknown shape
The first shape element ..........
element.
Unknown shape element .......... Unknown shape element to be obtained
The shape element placed after the unknown shape ele-
The second shape element ..........
ment.
Shape elements used for the point calculation function are the following four types :

0. Point
1. Line
2. Arc (clockwise)
3. Arc (counterclockwise)
Example 1: Cross-point between two line segments
The first shape element : Straight line segment
Unknown shape element : Point
The second shape element : Straight line

Eeoemmpt5003
The method to define shape elements is called the "shape element designation method" and shape
elements can be defined in different manners.

Designation of lines and arcs require points to be designated as will be explained in later sections.
When designating points to define lines and arcs, these two types of coordinate systems -- XY
coordinate system and polar coordinate system -- may be used.
 4691-E P-155

(1) Designating the coordinate values of the center and arc radius

Note: Radius R must always be

R a positive value.

Among the patterns indicated in 2, "Patterns of Shape Elements", patterns that Eeoemmpt5007
belong to (2) and (3)
allows automatic generation of contact arc (circle) if either of X or Y coordinate of the center of the
known arc and thus calculation of the coordinate values of the contact point and the center of the arc
is made.

1) Omission of coordinate value is applicable only for either of the FIRST or SECOND ELEMENT.
2) The circle defined through the omission of axis coordinate command is handled in the same
manner as the setting data for the known arcs. Therefore, it can be used as the FIRST ELE-
MENT (details in 5-5-6, "Last Element").
3) Patterns that allow the omission of axis command are as indicated below.
Patterns in category (2) = 102, 103, 201, 301

(4) Input of point data in polar coordinate system
On the data setting screen in which point coordinate values are to be set contains data setting
columns for polar coordinate system designation -- radius (R) and angle (A) -- in addition to
Cartesian coordinate system.
Example: Point coordinates

SECTION 5 POINT CALCULATION FUNCTION

The set data is read-in in the following manner.

• X and Y data are read as the data on Cartesian coordinate system if neither (RP) nor (AP)
data has been set.
• If both of (RP) and (AP) data have been set, X, Y, (RP) and (AP) data are interpreted as the
data on a polar coordinate system.
To give priority to input of position data on Cartesian coordinate system, the cursor move-
ment control is somewhat different form normal control modes. That is, the cursor skips (RP)
and (AP) data columns when the data is input using the WRITE key. For inputting data on
the polar coordinate system, locate the cursor at the (RP) and (AP) data column using the

cursor key .

5-5. Display and Entry of Calculation Result

Eeoemmpt5020
The system calculates the figure based on the data set as the first element, unknown element, and
the second element. The calculation result is displayed on the screen.
As the results of calculation in the pattern 132, two contact points P1 and P2, of which coordinate
values (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2), are displayed. The arc center PC defined as an unknown element is
also calculated and its coordinates (XC, YC) are displayed together with the radius of the unknown
arc.
Further, the calculation results are expressed not only with values but also with a result conforma-
tion drawing on the auto-scaled screen. This makes it possible to compare the shape directly with
the workpiece shape and to check the calculation results easily and correctly.

(1) Entry of result Eeoemmpt5021
In the example explained previously, the [F4] (RESULT PASTE) is used to enter the point P1,
point P2, and the radius into the program. Besides these data, any data displayed in the
RESULT INSERT window can be entered if necessary.

(2) When you press [F6] (ORDER ↑), the screen returns to the process for setting data of the sec-
ond element.
If, for example, the result confirmation drawing differs from the intended shape, it may be possi-
ble that wrong data has been set.
In such a case, use this function key to check the set data.

5-6. Previous Element

The element data setting screen has [F4] (LAST ELEMENT). Eeoemmpt5022
This element calculation function internally stores the latest element by classifying them into point,
straight line, arc (CW) and arc (CCW). The stored element data can be called and used as required.
Here, the "latest element" is the shape element that has been defined last among the shape ele-
ments defined as the first element or the second element by the figure calculation function. The lat-
est element is updated each time a shape element is defined.
Press [F4] (LAST ELEMENT).

To calculate P1, define L1 and L2 with the pattern 101.

To calculate P2, only definition of L3 is required, because the last element can be used for defining
L2 with the pattern 101.

The P1, P2, and PC data, however, can be used as an address only when the cursor is located on
the coordinates X and Y. In the same way, the R data can be used only when the cursor is located
on the polar coordinate RP or on the radius R.
