3. WORKING WITH OPERATIONS OR CYCLES
The following keys of the CNC must be used to select the machining operations or cycles:
When pressing the CNC shows all the user cycles defined by the machine manufacturer using
the WGDRAW application.
The user cycle is edited like any other standard cycle of the MC mode.
Once all the necessary data has been defined, the operator may Simulate or Execute the cycle
just like any other standard cycle of the MC mode.
When pressing any other key, the CNC selects the corresponding machining operation or cycle
changing the display and lighting up the indicator lamp of the key just pressed.
The operations or cycles that can be selected with each one of these keys are the following:
Boring operation (2 levels) Surface and slot milling
Reaming operation Pocket with 2D and 3D profile
Tapping operation Rectangular & circular boss
Drilling (3 levels) & center punching Rectang. (2) & circular (2) pocket
Profile milling operation (2 levels) Positioning (2 levels)
When the machining operation or cycle has several levels, the key must be pressed to select
the desired cycle level:
The Boring , Reaming, Tapping, Drilling and Center punching operations may be carried out at the
position occupied by the tool or they could be associated with a positioning by means of
With this CNC, it is possible to combine ISO-coded blocks with standard and/or user-defined
machining operations to create part-programs as described in the chapter on "Part-program storage".
To deselect the cycle and return to the standard display, press the key corresponding to the selected
cycle (the one with the indicator lamp on) or
Note: the operations or cycles can modify global parameters 150 through 299 (both included).
