Create a Workpiece using Cycles
This section explains the steps necessary to ma-
chine a workpiece. This machining operation is per-
formed in “Teach-in“ mode. This has the advantage
that, once you have machined the first workpiece,
you have a complete cycle program that can be re-
peated any time.
The generated cycle program can be used in the “Pro-
gram” mode for the production of further units.
Process
Clamp workpiece
• Enter and check tool data
• Set up the machine
• Define the workpiece datum with
“Set axis values “
• Determine the tool dimensions
• Switch to “Teach-in“ mode
• Machine the workpiece cycle by cycle
For further information, see: “9.1 Cycle
Programming“
Entering tool data
In the “Tool Management” mode, you set up a database (T number) for
each tool. You also define the tool orientation, and depending on the tool
type, various other parameters (setup and tool-tip angle, cutter width,
etc.) . A “tool description” is assigned to each tool.
Check the data if the tools have already been entered.
