4.3.2 Operation of Teach-in Auxiliary Function Blocks
On a machine operator’s panel, the following auxiliary function
switches are prepared.
• Tool select ( T-code + M6 )
• Spindle CW
• Spindle CCW
• Spindle Stop
• Coolant ON
• Coolant OFF
• Return to Tool Change Position ( G30 )
• Return to Machine Reference Position ( G28 )
By pushing a necessary switch among these switches, corresponding
auxiliary function is carried out.
During Teach-in mode, these carried out auxiliary functions can be
taught-in into program memory for later playback machining.
After pushing one or continuously several ones, maximum 10 blocks,
of the above auxiliary function switches, by pushing [AUX], an
operator can teach-in these commands into program memory for later
playback.
By pushing [SAVE] during guidance cutting, the feed rate (F) and
spindle speed (S) are recorded into temporary memory. The feed rate is
used for playback machining and the spindle speed is used for
execution of auxiliary function such as [Spindle CW] or [Spindle
CCW].
4.3.3 Operation of Teach-in a Rapid Traverse Motion Block
During Teach-in mode, an operator can move a tool by handwheel or
JOG stick on a machine operator’s panel.
After moving a tool toward a proper position, by pushing [RAPID], an
operator can teach-in this tool motion into CNC as a rapid traverse
block for later playback.
This taught-in block is displayed in a figure data window as following
sample.
