1.2 Features
The functions of the MANUALplus are grouped into operating modes:
„ Machine mode of operation
This operating mode includes all functions for machine setup,
workpiece machining, and cycle and DIN program definition.
„ The cycle programming functions are available in both manual
and automatic modes. You can program cycles for roughing,
recessing, thread-cutting and drilling operations.
„ ICP programming (Interactive Contour Programming) enables
you to describe complex and even incomplete contours. You need
to enter the values for the known elements, MANUALplus then
automatically calculates the transitions, intersections, and any
other missing data. MANUALplus graphically displays the contour
sections entered and calculated. You can usually program a
contour with the dimensions given in the workpiece drawing. ICP
contour descriptions are included in the machining cycles.
„ The DIN programming feature (NC programming in DIN format
according to DIN 66025 (ISO 6983)) enables you to run highly
complex, technologically sophisticated machining operations.
Apart from pure traversing commands, DIN cycles also provide
functions for roughing, drilling and milling, for programming
schematic contour geometry to calculate missing data, and for
programming variables. You can even write separate DIN
programs or integrate DIN macros in cycles.
„ Before executing a part program, you can run a graphic
simulation of all machining operations that were programmed
with cycles, cycle programs, or DIN programs.
„ Tool management mode
MANUALplus stores and manages up to 99 tool definitions.
MANUALplus stores all of the tool data required for calculating
cutting radius compensation, proportioning of cuts, plunging angle,
etc.
With the tool data, MANUALplus also manages the data for tool life
monitoring as well as the cutting data, feed rate and spindle speed.
„ Organization mode of operation
The behavior of the MANUALplus system is controlled by
parameters. In the Organization mode, you set the parameters to
adapt the MANUALplus to your situation.
Furthermore, you can exchange and save cycles and DIN programs
with other systems over a serial data line (PC, host computer, etc).
This operating mode also provides diagnostic functions for
commissioning and checking the system.
