I NTRODUCTI ON
These instructions are an in-depth look at each of the Intuitive Programming System (IPS) menus. A more
formal description is given for each of the entries to help better define the on-screen help for new users.
These instructions are to be used with the Lathe Operators Manual (96-8700) and Toolroom Lathe/HPCL
Operators Addendum (96-0112)
The IPS initial screen displays the X and Z position of the lathe and a spindle speed indicator.
The menus are navigated by using the left and right arrow keys. To select a menu item, press Write/Enter.
Some menus have sub-menus, in which case, use the left and right arrow keys and press Write/Enter to select
a sub-menu.
Use the arrow keys to navigate through the variables, enter values by using the number pad, and then press
Write/Enter.
To exit, or go back to another selection, press Cancel.
Pressing any of the buttons under the Display heading will exit the IPS menus, as will any of the mode keys
(i.e. Edit, Mem, MDI, etc.). To return to the IPS menu, press Handle Jog.
A representation of the front of the Operators Pendant is included at the end of this document for your conve-
nience.
This guide will help the user develop full CNC programs by means of the IPS screen. Note that a program
entered through the Toolroom Lathe screens is also accessible by going to full CNC MDI mode. The program
can be edited and saved from the full CNC mode.
NOTE: The IPS menu is displayed at power up, and is available in the following
configurations:
10 LCD and software version 7.xx and earlier - IPS
15 LCD and software version 8.03 and earlier - IPS (upgradable to Profile Creator)
15 LCD and software version 8.04A and later - IPS with Profile Creator

Select Manual Mode by moving the highlighted tab to Manual Mode and press Write/Enter. The following
screen will appear.

X AND Z AXES
THE AXES CAN BE ELECTRONICALLY LOCKED AND UNLOCKED. THIS IS SHOWN BY
XZ-MAN DISPLAYED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. IN THIS MODE BOTH THE
X AND Z AXES ARE UNLOCKED AND CAN BE POSITIONED USING THE MANUAL HAND
WHEELS. PRESSING SHIFT AND EITHER +X OR -X, OR +Z OR -Z WILL
ELECTRONICALLY LOCK THAT AXIS. PRESSING SHIFT AND THE SAME BUTTON A
SECOND TIME WILL UNLOCK THE AXIS.
SPINDLE
THE SPINDLE IS COMMANDED 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.

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.
The spindle is stopped by letting go of the hold to run switch, pressing Reset, or the pressing the Stop button.

SEMI -AUTOMATI C MODE
This mode performs dual axis movement using a single handwheel. The active handwheel is highlighted on the
screen display. This feature is limited to cuts that can be performed with a single tool pass. Large radii and
chamfers must be programmed in Multi-Pass mode.
Chamfer
The Chamfer mode is used to cut both I.D. and O.D. chamfers in a workpiece. Use the arrow keys to move
through the variables, enter a value and then press Write/Enter. Once the values have all been entered, the
display shows the chamfer to be cut against the model.

Skip Start Rewinds program to the first process. Pressing Home will also return to the first process.
Skip End Forwards the program to the last process. Pressing End will also skip to the last process.
Back One Steps backwards through the processes. Pressing the up arrow on the keypad will do the same.
Forward One Steps forwards through the processes. Pressing the down arrow on the keypad will do the

Creating a Part Program
To develop a part program, set the Recorder/Player to Record, exit the System mode and enter the mode for
the first process. Notice that when the control is in Record mode a blinking red Recording will display in the
upper left.
Set up the machining process, enter the values and press Cycle Start. The mill will run the program and cut
the first feature. Once finished, repeat the previous steps for the remaining part features.
NOTE: Once Cycle Start is pushed, the operation is recorded, even if the operation is
not completed.
ES0609 rev C 6/07

Once all the machining processes are entered, return to the Recorder/Player (or press F4 to bring up the
Recorder), highlight Stop and press Enter (or press F4), to stop the recording session.
You will notice that there is now a list of processes in the recorder window. These can be edited from this page
by using the other Recorder/Player buttons. An alternative for editing the operations is to execute the operation,
then enter MDI mode. MDI mode reveals the machine code and can be edited there.
NOTE: The operator must change tools, if required, prior to pressing Cycle Start for
the next operation. The mill will start, once Cycle Start is pressed. If the
machine is equipped with a tool changer the mill will automatically change
tools as needed in the program.
Running a Part
Load a part, go to the Recorder/Player mode, highlight Play and press Enter to initiate the Player. Pressing
the Cycle Start button will start the recorded machining process. The Player will start on the highlighted line in
the queue.
The consecutive operations will execute, if desired, but Cycle Start must be pressed for each operation to
continue.
The program features can be verified by opening the Recorder/Player menu, highlighting Play, and pressing
Enter. Enter MDI mode, then press the Graphics key. This graphics display allows the user to view each
operation prior to live cutting.
From the MDI mode, it is also possible to create a new G-code program in memory by placing the cursor at the
top line. Type Onnnnn (the letter O followed by a program number), then press the Alter button. This will
create a new program in memory. This is useful for editing, backup, etc.
Editing the Processes
You can remove processes by deleting them one at a time, by highlighting Delete One and pressing enter, or
removing the whole list, by highlighting Delete All and pressing Enter. Use the arrows keys to scroll within
the list.
The other editing buttons, Skip Start, Skip End, Back One and Forward One, can be used to start the part
program at a specific place. The operator can add operations anytime by pressing the F4 key (to enter the
Recorder/Player mode and executing a new operation.
