2. MACHINING MENU DESCRIPTIONS
– 264 –
Q : TOOL NAME
The tool name corresponding to the value input to the tool ID number (T) is read from the tool file
and the tool name is displayed.
B : PROCESS
There are four types of machining processes, namely ”Rough cutting”, ”Bottom finish cutting”, ”Side
finish cutting” and ”Chamfering. However, the ”Bottom finish cutting is valid to the concave square
column only.
H : H OFFSET NO.
D : D OFFSET NO.
This is the compensation number of tool used. It is automatically set by the software key of ”F.S.
AUTO”. The compensation number corresponding to the value input to the tool ID number (T) is
read from the tool file and is displayed.
M : COOLANT
This is the coolant used in this machining menu. It is automatically set by the software key ”F.S.
AUTO”. The coolant set by the initial setting menu is displayed. It can be modified as needed after
it has been set automatically.
S : SPINDLE SPEED
It indicates the speed of spindle of tool. It is automatically set by the software key ”F.S AUTO”. It
is calculated from the cutting condition file data based on the work material, tool name, and tool
diameter. It can be modified as needed after it has been set automatically.
F : FEEDRATE
It is the tool feedrate . It is automatically set by the software key ”F.S. AUTO”. It is calculated from
the spindle speed and cutting condition file data. It can be modified as needed after it has been
set automatically.
E : CUT WIDTH (%)
It is automatically set by pressing the software key ”F.S. AUTO”. Actual cutting width is calculated
from the tool diameter and cutting width (%). It can be modified as needed after automatic setting.
YF : Z CUT SPEED
Press the software key ”F.S. AUTO” to allow it to be automatically set. It is the cutting feedrate in
Z direction from the R point coordinate (R). It can be modified as needed after it has been set auto-
matically.
