With the Super CAP i T, it is possible to perform cutting simulation forturning, using a solid model. After simulation, the display of thesimulated cut product can be rotated.

It is also possible to make a line drawing of a tool path on the C /Y axissimulation screen, using an isometrical drawing.

Cutting simulation for turning uses a solid model. To display how theinner surface is machined, a quarter of the periphery of the display is cutout.

The chuck and tailstock are displayed in a similar manner. The chuck isdisplayed as a cylinder on the assumption that it is rotating.

(1) On the machining simulation registration program screen, press[ANIMA.] to select animated drawing where no tool path is drawn.

(2) When the following soft keys appear on the machining simulationscreen, press [PROCES], [EXEC], or [SINGLE STEP], similarly toconventional machining simulation. The machining simulationtype selected by the pressed key begins.

(3) After machining simulation is finished, pressing [ROTATE] causesthe display of the simulated machined product to be rotated.

Moreover, pressing [ ] can switch the display fromthree quarter shape format to full shape format. To reselect thethree quarter format, press [ ].

NOTE1 It is impossible to carry out machining simulation with the

display of the simulated machined product kept rotated.2 When the complex lathe program input function is enabled

(bit 6 (CPX) of parameter No. 9764 is 1 and bit 2 (MTG) ofparameter No. 6502 is 1), machining simulation based ona solid model is not possible.

In addition to the conventional animated end surface (C /Yaxis),development (C axis), and side elevation (Y axis) drawings, C /Y axismachining simulation can display a line drawing of a tool path based onisometrical drawing.

In a machining program which has just been created in conversationalprogramming, a process contains both rough machining and finishmachining. When the machining program is executed, the processes areexecuted in order in which they were entered.

The automatic scheduling function divides each process of the machiningprogram into three groups: rough machining, finish machining, andchamfering (chamfering is performed only in the C axis machining). Itautomatically arranges the processes so that all rough machining isexecuted first and the finish machining is executed next.

WARNING

When a machining program is created by automaticscheduling, make sure that the generated machiningsequence is correct.If the machining sequence is incorrect, the tool may bumpagainst the workpiece, or the machine may be forced toperform unnatural machining, possibly causing damage to thetool and/or machine, and even injuries.

When the automatic scheduling function is executed, the original

machining program is kept as it is and a new scheduled program is created.

On the registered program directory screen for editing, enter the numberof the machining program for which the automatic scheduling functionis executed. Alternatively, move the cursor to the program using a cursorkey. Then press the [SCHEDULING] soft key.

However, be sure to check that the memory protect switch on the machineoperator s panel has been released.

The following operation guidance and soft keys are displayed.

On the operation guidance, enter the number of the program to be createdby automatic scheduling using numeric keys and press the [EXEC] softkey.

By performing the operation above, an automatically scheduled programis created.

ROUGHESS: Surface roughness of a finished surface.

Choose from [1

], [2

], [3 ], [4 ], [5 ],[6 ], [7 ], [8 ], [9 ], and [10 ]. Seteach surface roughness value from Item 9.Cutting Conditions (Surface RoughnessSetting) of the tool data menu beforehand.Surface roughness data is also displayed in thewindow.

NOTE1 In finish machining, a cutting feed amount is calculated for

each contour from the surface roughness and the tooltipradius of the tool being used. For details, see Section13.2.1.The surface roughness of each contour is automatically setto the process data of the surface roughness specifiedabove. However, the surface roughness of each contourcan also be modified manually.

2 When a surface roughness value is specified, the tool andcutting conditions for finish machining are determinedautomatically.

TOOLNO. : Management number of a finish machining toolCUTSPD : Cutting speed for finish machining

FEED/REV : Feed amount for finish machining

NOTE3 For FEED/REV, the result of calculation based on the

process data of surface roughness and the tooltip radiusof the tool being used is displayed. However, the displayedvalue is not applied to actual machining. To modify theactual cutting feed amount for finish machining, the surfaceroughness specified for each contour must be modified.

4 In bar machining, tracing, and balance cutting, input can beinhibited for the data item of the cutting feed amount in thefinishing process by setting parameter No.9058#2 (NFF) to1.(The cursor does not reach the data item.)

5 When automatic residual machining is enabled in barmachining or balance cutting, input of the feedrate data isalso inhibited.(The cursor does not reach the data item.)

CZ: Z coordinate of a cutting start point for finishmachining

NOTEPass point 2 and the cutting start point are automaticallydetermined in the same way as for rough machining.

J ESCAPE AMNT EA: Movement along the Xaxis (in outer/innersurface machining: diameter) or along theZaxis (in end facing: radius) for retractionafter finish machining

NOTEFor finish bar machining, the finishing tool is moved along

the specified workpiece outline. At the end of machining,the tool is retracted, cancelling tool nose radius com-pensation.

For this clearance, the value obtained by multiplying the tooltip radiusof the tool being used by 2 (or 4 when using a diameter value) is set whena bar machining process is newly created.
