8. EDITING MACHINING PROGRAMS
OPERATION
113
In automatic scheduling, processes are divided and arranged so that all
rough machining is executed first.
(1) Dividing processes
Each of the processes of i to iv listed below contains rough machining and
finish machining. The process is divided into independent sub–processes
such as rough machining process, finish machining process and
chamfering process (chamfering is performed only in C–axis machining
process).
i. Process including rough machining and finish machining: Bar
machining, pattern repeating, residual machining, end facing, and
trapezoidal grooving
ii. Process executed as rough machining: Ordinary grooving, slanted
grooving, center drilling, drilling, reaming, boring, tapping, single
action, measurement, and calling of sub–programs
iii. Process executed as finish machining: Threading and necking
iv. Others:C–axis machining processes (including drilling, rough
machining, finish machining, and chamfering)
Y–axis machining processes (including drilling, rough
machining, and finish machining)
M process
Bar machining
Bar machining (rough and finish)
Entered process
Bar machining (rough)
Divided processes
Bar machining (finish)
Contour (common)
Contour (rough)
Contour (finish)
NOTE
1 The program for which the automatic scheduling function is
not executed has a single contour (or figure) shared by the
rough machining, finish machining, and chamfering (in
C–axis machining).
If the common contour data (or figure data) is changed in
that program, the machining contours for rough machining,
finish machining, and chamfering (in C–axis machining) are
changed at the same time.
The program for which the automatic scheduling function
has been executed has a contour (or figure) for each
process. The contour can be changed in units of processes.
2 An end process is always placed at the end, even in a
program subject to automatic scheduling.
