3.1 Programming and Executing
Simple Machining Operations
The operating mode Positioning with Manual Data Input is particularly
convenient for simple machining operations or pre-positioning of the
tool. It enables you to write a short program in HEIDENHAIN
conversational programming or in ISO format, and execute it
immediately. You can also call TNC cycles. The program is stored in
the file $MDI. In the operating mode Positioning with MDI, the
additional status displays can also be activated.
Positioning with manual data input (MDI)
Select the Positioning with MDI mode of operation.
Program the file $MDI as you wish.
To start program run, press the machine START
button.
Example 1
A hole with a depth of 20 mm is to be drilled into a single workpiece.
After clamping and aligning the workpiece and setting the datum, you
can program and execute the drilling operation in a few lines.
First you pre-position the tool in L blocks (straight-line blocks) to the
hole center coordinates at a setup clearance of 5 mm above the
workpiece surface. Then drill the hole with Cycle 1
