Productivity Inc Haas CNC TL Series Lathe Operator Manual Page 3
The number line also has numbered increments on either side of absolute zero. Moving away from zero to the right are positive increments. Moving away from zero to the left are negative increments. The "+", or positive increments, are understood, therefore no sign is needed. We use positive and negative along with the increment's value to indicate its relationship to zero on the line. In the case of the previous line, if we choose to move to the third increment on the minus (-) side of zero, we would call for -3. If we choose the second increment in the plus range, we would call for 2. Our concern is with distance and direction from zero. Remember that zero may be placed at any point along the line, and that once placed, one side of zero has negative increments and the other side has positive increments.
Page 4
The next illustration (Fig. 1-3) shows the two directions of travel on a TL Series Lathe. To carry the number line idea a little further, imagine such a line placed along each axis of the machine.
Figure 1-3
The first number line is easy to conceive as belonging to the left-to-right, or Z, axis of the machine. If we place a similar number line along the front-to-back, or X, axis, the increments toward the operator are the positive increments, and the increments on the other side of zero away from the operator are the negative increments. The zero position may be placed at any point along each of the two number lines, and in fact will probably be different for each setup of the machine. It is noteworthy to mention that the X-axis is set with the machine zero position on the center line of the spindle, while the Z axis zero is set at the finished right of the part being machined. This will place the entire X axis cutting in a positive range of travel, whereas the Z axis cutting will be in the negative range of travel. The diagram shows a front view of the grid as it would appear on the lathe. This view shows the X and Z axes as the operator faces the lathe. Note that at the intersection of the two lines, a common zero point is established. The four areas to the sides and above and below the lines are called QUADRANTS and make up the basis for what is known as rectangular coordinate programming.
Page 5
Page 6
Note the difference in the x coordinate system on a turret lathe and a table lathe. Positive X is in a direction that points toward the operator on the table lathe. This is due to the fact that the tool is on the opposite side of the part compared to a turret lathe.

Control Display
The new 16 software has a larger display and more panes than older versions. Above is the basic display layout. What is displayed depends on which display keys have been used. The only pane active is the one with the white background. Only when a pane is active may changes be made to data. Control functions in Haas machine tools are organized in three modes: Setup, Edit and Operation. Access Modes using the mode keys as follows: Setup: Edit: ZERO RET, HAND JOG keys. Provides all control features for machine setup. EDIT, MDI/DNC, LIST PROG keys. Provides all program editing, management, and transfer functions. MEM key. Provides all control features necessary to make a part.
Operation:
Current mode is displayed at top of display. Functions from another mode can still be accessed within the active mode. For example, while in the Operation mode, pressing OFFSET will display the offset tables as the active pane in the Main Display Pane and offsets may be altered; press OFFSET to toggle the offset display. While running a part in operation mode another program may be edited in the Main Display Pane. Press PROGRM CONVRS in most modes to shift to the edit pane for the current active program.

Keyboard Introduction
The keyboard is divided into eight different sectors: Function Keys, Jog Keys, Override Keys, Display Keys, Cursor Keys, Alpha Keys, Number Keys and Mode Keys. In addition, there are miscellaneous keys and features located on the pendant and keyboard which are described briefly on the following pages.
2-Jog Keys
3-Override
6-Alpha Keys
7-Number Keys
Page 11
1 Function Keys
F1 F4 Perform different functions depending on which mode the machine is in. Example in offsets
mode F1 will directly enter value given it into offset geometry.
X DIAMETER MEASURE Will take machine X position ask for a diameter measurement on the part
which tool turned and put correct X Geometry in Tool Offsets page.
NEXT TOOL In set up this will select the next tool and make a tool index. X/Z - Toggles between X-axis and Z-axis jog modes during a set up. Z FACE MEASURE Used to record Z tool offsets and Z work offsets.
2 Jog Keys

work cell.
Chip STOP (Chip Auger Stop) Stops chip conveyer movement. Chip REV (Chip Auger Reverse) Turns the chip conveyer in reverse. <-TS Moves tailstock toward the spindle. TS Rapid Increases speed of tailstock movement when used concurrently with the other TS keys. ->TS - Moves tailstock away from spindle. +X, -X (Axis) Selects the X axis for continuous motion when depressed. +Z, -Z (Axis) Selects the Z axis for continuous motion when depressed. Rapid When pressed simultaneously with X or Z keys will move at maximum jog speed.
Page 12
3 Override Keys
The overrides are at the lower right of the control panel. They give the user the ability to override the speed of rapid traverse motion, as well as programmed feeds and spindle speeds.
-10 FEED RATE Decreases current feed rate in increments of 10 percent. 100% FEED RATE Resets the control feed rate to the programmed feed rate. +10 FEED RATE Increases current feed rate in increments of 10 percent. HANDLE CONTROL FEED RATE Hand wheel will control feed rate at 1% increments. -10 SPINDLE Decreases current spindle speed in increments of 10 percent. 100% SPINDLE Sets the control spindle speed at the programmed spindle speed +10 SPINDLE Increases current spindle speed in increments of 10 percent. HANDLE CONTROL FEED Hand wheel will control feed rate at 1% increments. CW Starts the spindle in the clockwise direction. STOP Stops the spindle. CCW Starts the spindle in the counterclockwise direction. 5% RAPID 25% RAPID 50% RAPID 100% RAPID Limits rapid moves to 5 percent of maximum.
Limits rapid moves to 25 percent of maximum. Limits rapid moves to 50 percent of maximum. Allows rapid traverse to feed at its maximum.
Override Usage
Feed rates may be varied from 0% to 999%. Feed rate override is ineffective during G74 and G84 tapping cycles. Spindle speeds may be varied from 0% to 999%. Depressing Handle Control Feed rate or Handle Control Spindle keys, the jog handle movement varies by +/-1% increments. Setting 10 will limit rapid movement to 50%. Settings 19, 20, 21 make it possible to disable override keys. Coolant may be over rode by depressing COOLNT button. Feed Hold - Stops rapid and feed moves. Cycle Start button must be depressed to resume machine feeds. Similar situation applies when Door Hold appears. Door must be closed and Cycle Start pressed to continue running program. Overrides may be reset to defaults with a M06, M30 or pressing RESET by changing Settings 83, 87 and 88 respectively.

4 Display Keys
PRGM/CONVRS Selects the active program pane (highlights in white). In MDI/DNC mode pressing a
second time will allow access to VQC (Visual Quick Code) and IPS (Intuitive Programming System)
POSIT (Position) Selects the positions display window (lower middle). Repeated pressing of the POSIT
key will toggle through relative positions in the Memory Mode. In Handle Jog mode all four are listed together. 1. POS-OPER digital display. This is a reference display only. Each axis can be zeroed out independently; then the display shows the axis position relative to where you decided to zero it. In the Handle Jog mode, you can press the X, Y or Z JOG keys and ORIGIN key to zero that selected axis. On this display page, you can also enter in an axis letter and number (X-1.25) and press ORIGIN to have that value entered in that axis display. 2. POS-WORK digital display. This position display tells how far away the tools are in X, Y and Z from the presently selected work offset zero point. 3. POS-MACH digital display. This is in reference to machine zero, the location that the machine moves to automatically when you press POWER UP/RESTART. This display will show the current distance from machine zero. 4. POS-TO-GO digital display. When you're running the machine, or when you have the machine in a Feed Hold, this incrementally displays the travel distance remaining in the active program block being run. This is useful information when you are stepping a program through during a set up. When the position pane is active one can change which axis is displayed simply by typing X or Y or Z or any combination and pressing write. Only that particular axis or combination will be displayed.
OFFSET Selects one of two offsets tables: Tool Geometry/Wear and Work Zero Offset. Depressing the
OFFSET button toggles between the two tables Tool Geometry/Wear table displays 50 tool length offsets (100 tool length offsets on older machines) - labeled (LENGTH) GEOMETRY - along with wear offsets. It also displays radius and tool tip type. The Work Zero Offset table has G54-G59 plus G154 P1 to G154 P99 offsets available. The WRITE/ENTER key will add the number in the input buffer to the selected offset, and the F1 key will replace the selected offset with the number entered into the input buffer. Offsets can also be entered using TOOL OFSET MEASUR and PART ZERO SET
Page 14
CURNT COMDS Ten different pages; use PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN
1. Operation Timers displays Power-On Time, Cycle Start Time, Feed Cutting Time. Hitting ORIGIN will clear any display that is highlighted by the cursor. Real time clock and date. System Variables, for machines with Macro Programming. All Active Codes, displays current and modal command values. Position information: Machine, Distance to Go, Operator, Work Coordinate. Tool life, displays the usage of each tool. An alarm can be set for the number of times you want that tool to be used, and when that condition has been met (that is, the tool has been used the set number of times), the machine will stop, with an alarm for you to check the condition of that tool. Pressing ORIGIN will clear the cursor-selected display, and pressing ORIGIN when the cursor is at the top of a column will clear the whole column. Tool Load displays the Tool Load Max % of each tool being used. You can use the Limit % column to set the maximum spindle load for a particular tool. When that condition has been met (the tool has reached maximum load), the machine will stop and alarm out for you to check the condition of that tool. Pressing ORIGIN will clear the cursor-selected display, and pressing ORIGIN when the cursor is at the top of a column will clear the whole column. Setting 84 determines the Overload Action when this limit is met. Also vibration loads may be entered. Maintenance times for various items may be loaded.

ALARM/MESGS Displays messages and current active alarms. Press right arrow key gives alarm
history. Press right arrow key again goes to the Alarm Viewer Page. Enter alarm number and press write will give detailed information on a particular alarm code.
PARAM/DGNOS Lists machine parameters that are seldom-modified values which change the
operation of the machine. These include servo motor types, gear ratios, speeds, stored stroke limits, lead screw compensations, motor control delays and macro call selections. All of these are rarely changed by the user and should be protected by Setting 7, PARAMETER LOCK. A second press of PARAM/DGNOS will show the diagnostics display. The PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys are then used to select one of two different pages. This display is for service diagnostic purposes, and the user will not normally need them.
Page 15
SETNG/GRAPH Displays settings - machine parameters and control functions that the user may need
to turn on and off or change to suit specific needs. A list of settings is found on page 30. Settings are organized into functionally similar page groups with a title. Settings are listed with a number and a short description, and a value or choice on the right. To find a particular setting, enter the setting number and then press either the up or down cursor arrow key to move to the desired setting. You can change a setting using the left or right cursor arrows to display the choices, or, if the setting contains a value, by typing in a new number. A message at the top of the screen will tell you how to change the selected setting. When you changed, it will flash on and off. A setting change is not active until it stops flashing. To activate, press WRITE/ENTER.
SETNG/GRAPH (2nd part) - The second press of SETNG/GRAPH will bring up the graphics display in
the Main Display Pane. In this screen you can dry-run a program without moving the axes or risking tool damage from any programming errors. This function is far more powerful than using DRY RUN, because all of your offsets and travel limits can be checked before any attempt is made to move the axes. The risk of a crash during setup is greatly reduced. The Graphics Screen will display the programmed tool path and generate an alarm if there are any problems. Some of the features of the Graphics display are controlled by selections made in the Settings display, on the page titled GRAPHICS. 1. Press either MEM or MDI and select the program that you want to run in Graphics. Graphics will also run in the Edit Mode. 2. Press SETNG/GRAPH twice. The top left line of the screen will list the GRAPHICS title. Above that line will list the mode you are in (MEM or MDI). The bottom lists explanations for use of function keys F1 through F4. The small window on the lower right side of the screen displays the whole table area during the simulation run, indicating the location of the tool and any zoom window. The center window of the display is a large window that represents a top-down perspective of the X and Y axes. This is where the tool path is displayed during graphic simulation of a CNC program. 3. Press CYCLE START to see all the X and Y-axis moves demonstrated. Note machine axis and spindle will not when graphic window is up. 4. To step through a program one block at a time in Graphics, press SINGLE BLOCK. 5. F1 is a help key. 6. Press F2 to zoom in on the Graphics view screen. Use PAGE DOWN to zoom in further and PAGE UP to expand the view. Use the Cursor Keys to position the new zoom window over the area you wish to zoom in on using the small window in the bottom right hand corner. Pressing HOME will display the whole table. After positioning the desired zoom window, press WRITE/ENTER to accept the view and CYCLE START to see the new view. F3 slows the execution speed of the graphic simulation F4 speeds up the execution speed of simulation. Use SINGLE BLOCK to step through a program in graphics to find any mistakes. During single block you can re-zoom your window to look at tool paths in tight corners etc. Also use position display to see find any discrepant values.

5 Cursor Keys
Cursor Keys The cursor keys are in the center of the control panel. They give the user
the ability to move to and through various screens and fields in the control. They are used extensively for editing and searching CNC programs. They may be arrows or commands.
Up/Down Moves up/down one item, block or field. Page Up/Down Used to change displays or move up/down one page when viewing a program. HOME Will move the cursor to the top-most item on the screen; in editing, this is the top left block of
the program. END Will take you to the bottom-most item of the screen. In editing, this is the last block of the program.
SHIFT key provides access to the yellow characters shown in the upper left corner of some of
the alphanumeric buttons on the keyboard. Pressing SHIFT and then the desired white character key will enter that character into the input buffer.
EOB key enters the end-of-block character, which is displayed as a semicolon on the
screen and signifies the end of a programming block. It also moves the cursor to the next line. Parentheses are used to separate CNC program commands from user comments. They must always be entered as a pair. Example: (T1 End Mill) Also any time an invalid line of code is received through the RS-232 port, it is added to the program between parentheses.
These keys are used to define negative numbers and give decimal position.
These symbols are accessed by first pressing the SHIFT key and then the key with the desired symbol. They are used in macro expressions (Haas option) and in parenthetical comments within the program. These are additional symbols, accessed by pressing the SHIFT key, that can be used in parenthetical comments.

the Main Display Pane. Simple edits may be performed on the program that is being run or another program. The edits on the running program will not take place until after the current cycle has completed.
Page 20
MEM
The memory mode is the mode used when running the machine and making a part. The active program is shown in the Program Display Pane. Keys in the memory mode line reflect different ways of running a part in memory. When the keys to the right are depressed they will show up highlighted in black on the bottom right of the CRT.
SINGLE BLOCK
When depressed SINGLE BLOCK is highlighted in black and will appear on the bottom of the CRT. When the machine is in SINGLE BLOCK mode only one block of the program is executed every time the cycle start button is depressed. Used when first test running a program or temporarily stopping a program when it is running. Used to check machine movement without cutting a part. In dry run the machine runs at one feed rate. With the availability of graphics which show visually what the machine tool path is this mode is rarely used.
DRY RUN
OPTION STOP
When OPTION STOP is depressed program will stop at any M01 which is in the program. Normally M01s are placed after a tool is run in a program. When a job is being set up the operator may put machine in op stop mode to check dimensions after every tool has completed cutting.
When this button is depressed any block with a slash (/) in it is ignored of skipped.
(MANUAL DATA INPUT mode) Usually short programs are written in MDI but are not put into memory. DNC mode allows large programs to be drip fed from a computer into the control. Turns coolant on and off manually

Settings
Scrolling through Settings with Jog Handle - The jog handle can now be used to scroll through the settings. In previous versions, the jog handle could only be used to scroll through (cursor-highlight) the parameters, but not the settings. This has been corrected. (Any Mill Control Ver. 10.15 and above; any Lathe Control Ver. 3.05 and above.) There are many settings which give the user various options over the control of their machine tool. Read the Settings section of the operators manual for all the possible options.

Power-Up Procedures
The TL Series lathe follows the same standard start-up procedures as with any other Haas machine, and should be followed in the procedure demonstrated below:
Main Power
1. Locate the main power switch on the back of the machines control cabinet, and switch it to the ON position.
Power-Up Procedure
After switching the main power supply on, we need to power-up the Haas control. That procedure is as follows: 1. Move the tailstock (if equipped) all the way to the far right of the limits of the machine, and leave the clamps on the tailstock loose. This will provide the saddle enough room to reference itself. CAUTION: the control does not know where the tailstock is, and there is a chance to crash if the tailstock is not in the home position! 2. Visually verify that all of the machines ways are clean and free of dirt, and any moving parts of the machine are clear of chips, coolant, etc and verify that there is sufficient air pressure (80 psi) to the machine 3. Press the Green POWER ON button located on the upper left corner of the Haas control. The machine will take a couple of minutes to load its software. 4. The machine is now Powered-On
Page 25
1. Locate the orange RESET key and push it to clear any alarms that are present, and to power on the servos of the machine. 2. Next to the RESET button is the POWER UP / RESTART button. Press it once and the machine will travel the X axis first, then the Z axis to their utmost farthest limits, which is all the way towards the operator on the X axis / cross-slide, and all the way to the right for the Z axis / saddle. The machine will stop at machine home, as described in section4.a.iii

Again, the TL Series of lathes when in CNC mode will still move the manual handwheels as the machine moves. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE HANDWHEELS TO AVOID ANY INJURY!!!! Even though elaborate thought has been put into making sure the TL series is safe, extra caution needs to been given to any moving part of the machine!!!

Headstock Lubricant
The headstock or spindle of the TL series machine is a grease-pack design, and will not require any regular maintenance.
Grease Points
The TL series lathes are equipped with grease fittings rather than an oil lube system to provide surface to surface lubrication for all contact points on the machine. The linear ways, the ballscrews, and the tailstock are all equipped with grease fittings, and they should be lubricated weekly to insure consistent performance and accuracy of your machine.
1. X-axis cross-slide trucks 2. X-axis cross-slide ball screw 3. Z-axis saddle trucks 4. Tail-stock screw 5. Z-axis saddle ball screw 6. Tailstock base; four places For the lubrication points shown above, a general purpose lithium grease is required with enough volume to push grease out from the front and back of the linear ways, and from around the ball screw bearing housings
Productivity Inc Haas CNC TL Series Lathe Operator Manual Page 31
All that is required of the operator to switch from one tool to the next, is to swing the handle in a counter-clockwise direction to release the current tool, pull the tool-holder up and off of the Aloris dovetail, slide on the next tool onto the Aloris dovetail, and swing the lever till clockwise to firmly clamp the tool-holder against the toolpost. CAUTION: Please take care to never change tools while the machine has the spindle turning or while the axis are moving!!
Page 32
3-Jaw Scroll Chuck / Key CAUTION: The chuck key comes equipped with a spring on the end to prevent accidentally starting the spindle with the chuck key engaged to the chuck. DO NOT REMOVE THE SPRING FROM THE KEY!!!!! Starting the spindle with the chuck key engaged will lead to extensive machine damage and potential physical harm for the operator!
Page 33
The most outstanding feature on the TL Series of Haas machines is the Intuitive Programming System, or IPS. This is a simplified programming system that allows for much faster programming and setup of the machine, and allows the operator to program using a question and answer format, rather than a G&M code format. The objective of this section is to go thru the different IPS system Tabs and Menus and how each relates to generating fast and accurate parts from the TL Series Lathe. The best way to do this from a training point of view, is to start with a typical part print that would be seen by a Toolroom Lathe machinist, and go thru step by step with the IPS to show how to manufacture that part on the TL Series Lathe.
Page 34
To enter the IPS system, press the MDI/DNC mode key on the right hand side of the control. Then press PRGRM/CONVRS . The screen below appears:
The cursor keys at the middle of the Haas control navigate thru the different TABS from left to right, Pressing the WRITE/ENTER key will access the selected tab. If there are multiple choices under each tab, again use the right and left cursor control to navigate in the SUB-TABS to select the cycle you want to program. At any time, pressing the CANCEL button will back out of any SUB-TAB or TAB.

Using the UP/DOWN cursor keys will navigate you thru each piece of information that has to be entered into each specific cycle the IPS can program. Below the tab Manual has been opened.
One way the machine may be moved manually using the red handles is by opening this screen up. The only other way the machine may be put in handle manual mode is by pressing the HAND JOG key and pressing the yellow shift key in conjunction with either the +Z, -Z or +X, -X or both jog keys. In this mode Tool Geometry may be set by establishing a part Z zero by facing the part off manually. The spindle is commanded on by entering a value for the spindle speed and pressing either the FWD or REV buttons. The spindle speed override keys ( +/- 10%) can be used to adjust the commanded speed from the manual mode screen. With the spindle turned on a facing and turning cut may be made manually by turning the handles just like on an engine lathe. This will allow geometries to be set for most of the outside diameter cutting tools.
Page 36
Another way to establish a face and turned surface is to go the IPS screen TURN & FACE and open the FEED tab below to open the following screen.
In this mode the tool is brought up to the face or turning position manually. Next, a DELTA X or a DELTA Z distance selected. A feed and spindle speed is entered. The delta x or delta z values are the incremental distance machine will move at the prescribed feed and speed from the present position it is at. Pressing the F4 key then selecting Output to MDI will create the program into MDI. With a DELTA X of -3.0 entered the following short facing program may be created and run in MDI.

Navigate the IPS system to the SETUP tab and open the Tool tab by pressing WRITE/ENTER. The screen below will be displayed.
By pressing the TURRET FWD or TURRET REV key, one can cycle between tools #1-20, depending on the version of software your TL series has. Each tool will have the same information listed. After selecting the tool it must be made active by pressing the NEXT TOOL key. The active tool will be displayed in the lower right hand corner of the control display. Arrow down to Tool Type and select the correct designation by using right and left cursor keys. Enter the OFFSET number, usually the same number as the tool number.
Page 41
Page 42
All other tools such as drilling tools (drills, taps, reamers, etc.) parting tools and threading tools will use tool tip #0 Other information such as TOOL SHANK, TOOL LENGTH, STEP HEIGHT, TL THICKNESS and TOOL NOSE need not be entered. This information is needed only if live imaging is used. Define Tool #2 and Tool #3 the same way as we did number one. The only difference is that a radius or a tool tip definition is not required on either tool. Make sure the respective tools are made active before setting offsets by using the NEXT TOOL key.

Press WRITE ENTER to access the TURN / FACE mode, then select OD TURN to start our processes 1&2. The display below will appear:
Page 44
The variables that the OD Turn Function will need to know, and are listed as follows:
IPS OD Cycle Question Tool Number Part Offset Start Diameter Finish Diameter Depth Of Cut Z Dimension Feed Per Revolution Surface Footage Max Spindle Speed Relationship To The Part Tool To Be Used Always G54 If IPS Used to Touch Off Tools What diameter to start cutting at Diameter to cut to How Much Material Per Pass How Far From Face - Back to Turn Amount of Feed Per 1 Spindle Turn Recommended Insert SFM Max RPM Of Spindle For The Cycle
For the 1st process, our 2.500 Diameter, we will enter the answers below:
IPS OD Cycle Question Tool Number Part Offset Start Diameter Finish Diameter Depth Of Cut Z Dimension Feed Per Revolution Surface Footage Max Spindle Speed Relationship To The Part 1 G54 3.000 2.500 .100 2.25 .011 350 1500
Once all the variables have been answered, make sure Tool #1 is mounted to the tool post, reduce our rapid override to 5%, and press CYCLE START. The turning program created will be run in the MDI mode. The TL Lathe will rough out from 3.000 in Diamater, to 2.500, 3.000 back from the face of the part, then take a finish pass.
Page 45
Page 46
Now we need to setup process #2, our 1.750 Diameter. Enter the OD Roughing variables into the chart below for the 1.750 OD Cycle. Now create the code with IPS. This code will be added to the bottom of program O1.
IPS OD Cycle Question Tool Number Part Offset Start Diameter Finish Diameter Depth Of Cut Z Dimension Feed Per Revolution Surface Footage Max Spindle Speed Relationship To The Part
Since on the first part all the tools were touched off on a cleaned up face , no material would be removed when if this cycle was run, but assuming there are multiple parts to run, one would record this feature also. This code would be the first operation in program O1.

Drill Cycle
We could always use the tailstock to drill a centerline hole in the part, but with CNC capability, we can simply use the Tool Post to do so, and have an automatic drilling with pecks. Go to the DRILL / TAP menu and select PECK DRILLING and we will get the menu below:
For peck drilling, just simply enter the values listed below, cycle the menu to make sure we get the correct depth, and then record it with IPS.

Once we have recorded all of our features of our part, we will have one complete program for the part. If we want to run another part just like it, select O1 and Cycle Start. We will have to press cycle start between every operation to change our tools when we need to.
Page 54
To run an old G&M program saved to memory, select the program that you want to run, load up the tools that were last used to run that program, and enter the Tool Offsets in the IPS menu just like we did before. Go to the LIST PROG menu and select the program, press MEMORY mode on the Haas Control, and push CYCLE START. The Haas control will accept any standard ISO G&M code program, and will understand the code, but if you are interested in learning more about G&M code programming, please contact Productivity Inc. and sign up for our Lathe Programming class. The TL Series is built around the IPS system and is designed to take advantage of it, and thus the only reason we teach only the IPS for its operation. Before running a complete part run the part in the graphics mode. If there are any code structure problems, tool over travels the graphic mode will alarm out. Below is the code created for the training part run in graphics mode.

X and Z Axes
Just below the on-screen text is a line of text that shows the state the lathe is in. For example, X -MAN means the X -axis is in manual mode. No text beneath the on-screen help means both axes (X and Z are locked. In this case the axes can be jogged, by pressing +X/-X or +Z/-Z and then using the jog handle on the pendant. Select a jog speed before using the jog handle.
Spindle
The spindle is controlled using the keys on the control pendant. Enter a spindle speed; for example, press 5, then 0, then Write/Enter. This will enter a speed of 50RPM. Ensure the area around the spindle is free of tools and workpieces, press the hold to run switch and then press either the FWD or REV button. The spindle speed override keys ( +/- 10%) can be used to adjust the commanded speed. This also works on most screens.

Press the Up and Down arrows to change the displayed Work Zero Offset. X Clearance Works with Z Clearance to define a tail stock travel restriction zone that limits interaction between the tail stock and the tool turret. It determines the X-axis travel limit when the difference between the Z-axis location and the tail stock location falls below the value in Z Clearance. If this condition occurs and a program is running, an alarm is generated. When jogging, no alarm is generated, but travel is limited. Press Write to add or F1 to set position. Enter a value and either press Write to add the value to the current value, or F1 to replace the value with the entered value. When highlighting X CLEARANCE, pressing X DIA MEAS takes the value of the X axis and places it in X CLEARANCE. Pressing ORIGIN when highlighting X CLEARANCE sets clearance to max travel. Z Clearance Minimum allowable difference between the Z-axis and the tail stock. A value of -1.0000 means that when the X-axis is below the X clearance plane, the Z-axis must be more than 1 inch away from the tail stock position in the Z-axis negative direction. The default value for this setting is zero. Press Write to add F1 to set or Part Zero Set to record current position. Enter a value and either press Write to add the value to the current value, or F1 to replace the value with the entered value. Press Part Zero Set to record the Z Offset current position. When highlighting Z CLEARANCE, pressing Z FACE MEAS takes the value of the Z axis and places it in Z CLEARANCE. Pressing ORIGIN when highlighting Z CLEARANCE sets clearance to zero.

DXF File Importer This feature can quickly build a CNC G-code program from a DXF file, a drawing file format exportable from many desktop CAD applications. Compatible DXF files are made up of arcs, lines, circles, vertices, and/or points. Refer to your CAD applications documentation for details on how to export a DXF file. When importing a DXF file, you define its features one by one as tool paths; G-code is generated for each tool path that can then be placed in any new or existing program. DXF Importer for lathes is used to create ID and OD part profiles, for other features (threads, etc.), use IPS. Importing
the
DXF File
1. Press LIST PROG, select the tab for the device (USB, Hard Drive, or Floppy) containing the DXF file and press Write/Enter. Use the cursor arrows to highlight the DXF file and press Write/Enter to select it. 2. Press F2 and select memory. The control will recognize the DXF file and import it into the editor.

This feature allows an operator to view a real time simulation of a part as it is cut. Live Image is standard with lathe software version 9.03 and later. Live Imaging of a part requires that the operator setup stock and tools before running the part program. Setup Stock Setup Data values for stock and jaw dimensions are stored in the Stock Setup screen. Live Image applies this stored data to each tool.
NOTE: Turn Setting 217 ON (as shown in Settings) to show the chuck jaws in the display.
2. Use the right/left arrow keys to select the SETUP tab and press Write/Enter. Use the right/left arrow keys to select the STOCK tab and press Write/Enter to display the Stock Setup screen.
