Creating a Program on a CNC Turning Center

2009-03-25T09:41:00.002+02:00

I came to work at Hitech Mechanics in the marketing department and was very intrigued with what these specialist in CNC machining were creating parts for the military, fiber optic, aviation, robotics and communication industries and I needed to learn more. So I started to play around on the Mazak simulator and this was the first program I created. I will pass along my experience and knowledge that I have gained on this subject to all the newbies to CNC machining. The following program I am going to explain is for a part being machined on turning center and the dimension are 25mm X150 mm. If there are areas that are not understood, please let me know so I can adjust it for a more clear understanding.
Step 1, take a look at your print and determine what size (Outside dimension) of bar stock you will need and the type of material that is specified. The first thing you will need to do is call up a blank program screen by pressing the "Mazatrol Program" menu key. Set the type of material to be machined by using the corresponding keys at the bottom of the screen and then set the outer dimension of the material being used with the numeric key pad. For example: you would press the Stainless key specifying that you are using Stainless as the material and by in-putting the digits 25 you are indicating that your material 25 millimeters in diameter. The next thing you will want to do is in-put a number for the inside diameter of the piece which would be "0" since we are using solid bar stock, then for the length of the piece you are going to want to add at least 10 to 15 millimeters to the over all length as a safety cushion for the tool, as to not come into contact with the spindle. Adding numbers for the "FIN-X and FIN-Z" I generally will use 0.2 and 0.1 respectively for Stainless. Now the last item to fill in is the work face, this is how close the tool will come to the work piece before the actual cutting process begins, I like to use any where from 0.3 to 0.5 here. When you enter data in these sections, referred to as "Common Unit" the curser will automatically move to the position. Now that we have set up the Common Unit we can move on to the program creation. The sequence of turning bar stock is thus, you should rough the out side dimensions of the work piece and then perform the finish machining to the out side dimensions of the work piece before moving on to the inside dimension machining process. On a turning center, the X axis are North and South and the Z axis are West and East. On the program we are going to create here, there will be three parts to it after completing the common unit, they are the "Manual Program Unit" (MNP) the "Unit" and the" Sequence" of the Unit in the program. Press the Manual Program menu key to call the MNP up and fill in the data, you can skip over filling in the "Gear" for this program. After each time you in-put data into a field, press the input button on the control panel. Under change point, in-put the number 1 and for the tool, in-put the number 4, this is where you will installed the roughing tool for the outside dimension when its time to do so. After filling in the last item which is the Tool, press input and the Unit line will appear below. Locate the menu button "EDG FCE" directly below the lcd screen on the control panel and press it. Now you'll see this appear on the screen underneath "Unit" Unit 1 (RV, FV, R-FEED, R-DEP, R-TOOL, F-TOOL) in-put these numbers 500/500/.01/.1/.5 respectively and press the input key after each set of numeric data entered to move to the next field. Now you'll see these fields appear to the left of the title "Seq" Unit 1 Seq. 1 (STP-X, STP-Z, FTP- X, FTP-Z, RGH) Starting with STP-X, in-put the following numbers (80.)( 5.) (0.) (0.) respectively and press the input key after each set of numeric data entered to move to the next field. Notice on the far left side the (UNo) as you progress you will add to the numbers sequentially (UNo 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) the sequences will do the same until you add a new unit to the program. So far we have made the "common unit" Unit 1 and the sequence for 1 Unit. Now for Unit 2, press Bar out button on the menu keys to bring up the Bar out process and you'll see (Unit, #, DEP-X, DEP-Z, RV, FV, R-FEED, R-DEP, R-TOOL, F-TOOL,) in-put these numbers respectively and press the input key after each set of numeric data entered to move to the next field ( under Unit, it should already have Bar out, (0) (80) (0) (130) (200) (0.3) (2.5) (3) (6) Now for Unit 2 Seq. 1. (S-CNR, STP-X, STP-Z, FTP- X, CNR/$, RADIOUS/th, RGH) Press LIN and ,) in-put these numbers respectively and press the input key after each set of numeric data entered to move to the next field. Press (5) (you'll see a diamond shape for the next two fields (50) (45) (cnr/$ is left blank)( you'll see a diamond shape in the next field) (in-put 3 for the RGH field) press input and then press LIN again for a second line of sequence data. Unit 2 Seq. 2 Press (5) (you'll see a diamond shape for the next two fields (70) (70) (cnr/$ is left blank)( you'll see a diamond shape in the next field) (3 in the RGH field) press input again for a third line of sequence data and then press the "bar in" icon (this looks like a black block with the middle section remove half of the way down) Unit 2 Seq. 3 (SNR is left blank)(70)( 70)(80)(125) (cnr/$ is left blank)( RADIOUS/th =50) (3 in the RGH field) Now for unit #3, press the groove out Unit 2 Seq. 2 (#, No., PITCH, WIDTH, FINISH, RV, FV, FEED, DEP, R-TOOL, F-TOOL) (Press 0 for #)(1)(0)(10)( (you'll see a diamond shape for the next two fields)(120)(0.08)(2)( you'll see a diamond shape in the next field)(8) Unit 3 Seq. 1 Now you'll see these fields appear to the left of the title "Sequence" (S-CNR, STP-X, STP-Z, FTP- X, FTP-Z, CNR, ANG, RGH) Starting with S-CNR, in-put the following data,( S-CNR is left blank)(50)(45)(40)(45) (the last two fields are left blank) Unit 4 Locate the menu button "THR" directly below the lcd screen on the control panel and press "OUT". Now you'll see "THR" appear underneath "UNIT" in the data fields. (#)(CHAMF)(LEAD)(ANG)(MULTI)(HGT)(NUM)(C-SP)(DEPTH)(TOOL) Starting with #, in-put the following data respectively, (0)(0)(2.)(55)(1)(1.299)(10)(120)(0.3)(7) Unit 4 Seq. 1 Now you'll see these fields appear to the left of the title "Seq" (STP-X, STP-Z, FTP- X, FTP-Z) Starting with #, in-put the following data respectively, (50)(0)(50)(38) We have now come to end of the program so locate the menu button "END" directly below the lcd screen on the control panel and press "END". Now you'll see "END" appear underneath "UNIT" in the data fields. (COUNTER =0)(RETURN = 0)(WK.No. =blank)(CONT = 0)(NUM. = 0)(SHIFT = 0)
Now from this point you can check out the program you have just created on the lcd screen by using the "check program" menu button. You can also check the tool path and see how the tool will move across the work piece and how much time one piece will take to be produced. Later you will learn how to optimize the program to reduce the amount of time to produce 1 part. So until next time take a look at what fun things can be done with CNC and a pumkpin

Today we've decided to start a library of videos ranging from informative to humorous to post to this blog page. So this weekend the scripting and shot sequences will begin for video number one, courtesy of yours truly. I think this first video should be based around the companies core competencies and how production begins and ends at Hi-Tech Mechanics, we'll see. To explain about a company using text is informative but I think it's a bit dull. I can't think of any reasons why I shouldn't throw in a little eye candy as well. Humans are more of a visual creature and most of the audience to the Internet tend to human, so it made perfect sense to me that this is a logical direction to take. Once this video is complete, I want to take on a less serious posture and begin to have a little fun with all of the staff here. I will give you a few days notice so you can get your supply of pop corn and liquids ready and then I will post a notice here for the release for the world premier of "Hi-Tech Mechanics In Action" . So stay tuned in to bloggerb and we'll see you at the premier.

(Video is nothing without great audio)
