PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
1. Determining the processing method
2. Determining the clamp position

Position the workclamps as far apart as possible and check the "dead zone".
2
3. Checking the tool and station number
Ex.: (a) 1 50 mm dia. round hole —-nibbling with a 30 mm dia. punch
(b) 500 mm x 600 mm square opening —-shear-proof punching with a 50 mm x
50 mm square punch
(c) Check to ensure all tools can be loaded on the turret.
4. Determining the punching sequence

This must be determined by taking into consideration both processing time and accuracy.
General precaution
(a) Begin and finish with the upper right corner of the diagram.
(b) Begin with small holes, then square holes, and notching; extrusion and counter¬
sinking come last.
(c) The tools should not be selected more than twice except when the processing requires
only a change of striker position.
(d) In multiple part punching, shearing of the worksheet should be done last.
5. Calculating the coordinates

Calculate the coordinate values in units of 0.01 mm (millimeters) or 0.001" (inches).
6. Checking
Check the workclamp positions, punching sequence and coordinate values.
PUNCHING RANGE
The punching range of VIPROS varies with its model as listed below. When the X-coordinate
value exceeds the punching range, automatic repositioning is performed.

CAUTIONS ON PUNCHING
1. Notching should not be performed with a punch of the same size as the notch.
20
Incorrect Correct
(20 mm x 20 mm square punch is used.) (30 mm x 30 mm square punch is used.)
2. Do not punch along the shorter punch side when using a long rectangular punch.

§
I
§
Incorrect
3. When shear-proof punching is performed, the feed pitch should be larger than 1/2 the
punch width, but smaller than the entire punch width minus 0.5 mm.
4. The depth of notching should not be less than the plate thickness.
q
3.2 mm thickness
Incorrect
4
5. Determine the punching method so that the stripper plate holds the worksheet as much
as possible.
6. The force required to punch the worksheet must not exceed the machine capacity.
The required punching force is obtained by the following formula:
A (mm) x t (mm) x x (MPa) A (mm) x t (mm) x x (kg/mm2)
P (kN) = or P (metric ton)
1000 1000
P: Force required
A: Length of cut edge
t: Thickness of worksheet
T: Shearing strength of worksheet
7. Do not punch in the clamp dead zone. Punching in the clamp dead zone may punch the
workclamp or distort the worksheet.

G06 -DESIGNATION OF WORKSHEET THICKNESS AND MATERIAL
G06 A _B
This code is used to designate the worksheet thickness and material.
Be sure to enter G06 at the beginning of the program.
A: Worksheet thickness 0.1 to 6.4 mm (0.002" to 0.253")

B: Worksheet material 0: Mild steel (SPC or CRS)
1: Stainless steel (SUS)
2: Aluminum (AL)
Example: OOOOO
G06 A 1.0 B0 (1-mm thick mild steel worksheet is designated.)
G92 X _ Y _
When "G06" is omitted, the thickness is 6.4 mm and the material is mild steel.
The decimal point in the thickness data is handled as follows:
Command data Effective data
1.6 1.6 mm
2.36 2.3 mm (Omit the figures below the second place of decimals.)
63 0.6 mm (Omit the figures below the second place of decimals.)

G90 - ABSOLUTE PROGRAMMING
When the absolute values are used for coordinate values, enter "G90" prior to the coordinate
values. If the absolute values are used at the subsequent blocks of the program, it is not neces¬
sary to enter "G90" again until incremental values are used.
Ex.: (1) G90 X100.00 Y100.00 (Absolute value)

(2) X300.00 Y100.00 (Absolute value)
The value of the X- or Y-axis which does not move can be omitted.
G91 - INCREMENTAL PROGRAMMING

When the incremental values are used for coordinate values, enter "G91" prior to the coordi¬
nate values. If the incremental values are used at the subsequent blocks of the program, it is
not necessary to enter "G91" again until absolute values are used.
Ex.: (1) G90 X100.00 Y100.00 (Absolute value)

(2) G91 X200.00 Y 0 (Incremental value)
(3) X 0 Y100.00 (Incremental value)
(4) X 100.00 Y100.00 (Incremental value)
(5) X200.00 Y 0 (Incremental value)
The value of the X- or Y-axis which does not move can be omitted.

G20/G21 - INCH/METRIC SELECT FUNCTION
The unit of the input program can be set either to the metric or inch system. When the inch
unit is used, input "G20" directly before the worksheet thickness and material designation
command G06 as a single block; when the metric unit is used, input "G21" as a single block.
Ex.: In the case of the VIPROS 305072 Metric-Specification machine:
Metric Inch
G21 G20
G06 A B _ _ G06 A _ B _
G92 X1830.00 Y1 270.00 G92 X72.047 Y50.000
(Program in metric unit dimensions) (Program in inch unit dimensions)
G50 G50
NOTE: a) The codes G20 and G21 should always be input as a single block.
b) Do not input the "G20" or "G21" anywhere within the program.
c) The origin setting values differ between the metric-specification and the inch-
specification machines. Keep this fact in mind before using the inch-metric
select function.

TOOO - DESIGNATION OF TOOL NUMBER

This code is used to designate the turret station number in order to select the tool to be used.
If the same tool is to be used continuously, it is not necessary to enter this code again until a
different tool is needed.
Ex.: G92 X1830.00 Y1270.00
G90 X 500.00 Y300.00 T102
G91 X 50.00 (T102 is omitted.)
X50.00 (T102 is omitted.)
G90 X700.00 Y450.00 T201
G50 - HOME RETRACT

When "G50" is entered, the carriage and table return to their origins, and the striker moves
to the center position. No punching occurs during the retraction. The offset values designated
by "G93," "G94" and "G98" are cancelled. "G50" must be entered as a single block at the
end of the program; however, the sequence number can be entered along with it.
BLOCK DELETION
If a slash character is entered at the beginning of a block and if the BLOCK SKIP key on the
main control panel is pressed and lighted, the block command following the slash character
is disregarded. If the key is unlighted, the command is not disregarded but is executed.
Ex.: G90 X320.00 Y210.00 T203

G91 X50.00
/ X100.00 Y 100.00 T304
G90 X570.00 Y310.00 T304
If the block following the block deletion command is entered in incremental values, the
position where the BLOCK SKIP key is lighted is different from that where the BLOCK
SKIP key is unlighted. If T304 is omitted for the reason that the same tooling is used, the
block following the block deletion command is executed using T203 when the BLOCK SKIP
key is lighted.

OOOOO - PROGRAM NUMBER
When some programs are to be stored in the NC memory, a maximum of 4-digit numeral
(from 0 to 7999) is added directly after "0," at the beginning of the program for identifica¬
tion of individual programs. (Zeros which directly follow "O" may be omitted.)
Ex.: 00014
G06 A _ B _
G92 X1830.00 Y1 270.00
G50
This program number can also be input from the main control panel keyboard when register¬
ing the programs into the memory.
NOOOO - SEQUENCE NUMBER

Any numeral (from 1 to 9999), with four or less digits, beginning with "N" can be entered
at the beginning of each block. This code is used for indexing each block.
Ex.: G06 A _B_

G92 X 1830.00 Y 1270.00
N0001 G90 X500.00 Y300.00 T102
N0002 G91 X50.00
N0003 X50.00
N0004 G90 X650.00 Y450.00 T306
N9999 G50
The sequence number need not be entered if it is not necessary. Entry at key points instead
of all blocks will be useful.
Zeros which directly follow "N" may be omitted.
11
C±6 - TOOL ANGLE COMMAND
This code is used to control the angular orientation of punches and dies installed in the
auto-index station.
.TOOO C±0
Auto-Index punching is performed after the X, Y, T and C axes have been positioned. In the
C-axis instruction, the value and sign of 0 determine the angle of the punch and die with
respect to the X axis.
T : Auto-Index station number +e

C: Tool angle "±0 " Counterclockwise - positive (+)
Clockwise — negative (— )
Example:
-330°
B
30° B
A
A
§ [Zero degree position]
100-4
G90 X100.00 Y 50.00 TOOO C30.00 (or C-330.00)
The punch and the die will be positioned 30 degrees (or —330° ) with respect to the X axis.
• The angular input must be in the absolute angular value, referenced to the X axis. The
minimum angular input is 0.01°.
• If both X and Y instructions are not entered, the index station and tool angle will be
selected, but punching will not be performed.
• When the C-axis instructions are used within pattern instruction blocks G26, G29, G68,
and G78, the Auto-Index tool angle will be automatically compensated in the tangential
direction with the progress of hole punching.
• When the C-axis instructions are used within the following instructions, the C-axis instruc¬
tions will be ignored and machine operation will continue.
G92, G93, G94, G72, G25, G27, G98, G75, G76, G04, U, V and W
• For stations other than Auto-Index stations, trying to use a C-axis instruction will cause
a program error.
12
• When a program block with instructions to use a different station follows the Auto-Index
punching instructions, the C axis will be returned to its zero degree position after the
punching operation at the Auto- Index station is finished, then the next station will be
selected.

the same tool angle, the T and C instructions may be omitted in the second and sub¬
sequent blocks.

FUNCTION CODES
G FUNCTION CODES
G70 - PUNCH OFF (NO PUNCHING)

This code is used to move the worksheet without punching so that the workclamp moves
__
away from the die or the workholders can hold the worksheet when automatic repositioning
is performed. Enter "G70" prior to entering X _Y
Ex.: G90 X100.00 Y100.00

G70 X300.00 (The axes move at a position of "X300.00 Y100.00"
without punching.)
"G70" can be entered with "G90" or "G91."

Ex.: G90 X100.00 Y100.00 (Punching)
G70 G91 X200.00 (No punching)
G90 Y300.00 (Punching)
G27 - AUTO REPOSITIONING

This code is used to extend the punching range in the X-axis direction. Enter "G27" and
the X-axis value.
Ex.: G27 X500.00

The X-axis value must be designated by an incremental value.
The following shows the repositioning cycle for a G27 X500.00 command.
(1) Work hold: The workholders hold the worksheet.

(2) Unclamp: The workclamps open.
(3) G91 Y2.40: The Y axis moves 2.40 mm in the positive direction from the current posi¬
tion.

G25 - AUTO REPOSITIONING

When the worksheet edge which is clamped has a bend or curves, and excessive burrs, ente
"G25" instead of "G27" to ensure accurate repositioning. These factors can cause inaccurat
worksheet positioning when automatic repositioning is performed, unless the G25 code i
used. When "G25" is entered, the same movement will be obtained as in the following:

First the Y axis moves 2.40 mm in the positive direction from the current position. Then the
X axis moves X. from the current position and the Y axis moves 1.20 mm in the negative
direction. Next, the X and Y coordinate system is offset by Y1.20 to compensate for the
difference between the Y axis positions before and after the automatic repositioning.
After "G25” is entered, the punching range along the Y-axis is moved 1.20 mm in the nega¬
tive direction from the standard punching range.

HINTS ON AUTO REPOSITIONING
1. Repositioning travel distance —-as small as possible

[Maximum processing position (X value)] -1280 mm (VIPROS 345Q, 255)
[Maximum processing position (X value)] -1840 mm (VIPROS 357Q, 367Q)
[Maximum processing position (X value)] -2010 mm (VIPROS 358K(FS18PC), 368K(FS18PC),
308080, 505080, 506080, 258)
[Maximum processing position (X value)] -2510 mm (VIPROS 251OK, 2510C)
2. Workclamp positions —-as far apart as possible

Consider the following:
•Dead zone
• Worksheet size
• Notches
3. First processing area —-as large as possible
4. Reposition
Ensure the worksheet is under the workholders.
Ensure the workclamps do not pass between the upper and lower turrets when the reposi¬
tioning is done. Y200.00 (min.)
Ensure the X-axis absolute value is greater than the repositioning travel distance. (Over¬
travel will occur.)
5. Coordinate value after "G27" and "G25"

Use dimensions as per diagram. Mode of G90 and G91 does not change.
6. Avoid changing tools immediately after repositioning to save processing time.
7. Processing area after automatic repositioning

G04 - DWELL
When "G04" is entered with "X" value, the punching operation stops during the time indi¬
cated by the value of "X." The minimum programmable increment of the value following
"X" is 0.01 sec.
G04 X10.00 Operation stops for 10 sec.
G72 - DESIGNATION OF PATTERN ORIGIN

G90 G72 X
G91 G72 X
This code is used to designate the pattern origin.
Ex.: G90 G72 X500.00 Y300.00
The pattern origin can be entered both as an absolute value and as an incremental value.
"G72" merely selects a coordinate; neither positioning nor punching is performed.
Never enter the M or T code in a block with "G72."
For example, never enter:
G90 G72 X300.00 Y200.00 T201
G91 G72 X150.00 Y250.00 MOO
If an incremental value of X and Y is given after a pattern command, the value must refer
to the final pattern point.

When the patterns of holes to be punched are symmetrical, they can easily be programmed
by using this instruction and the macro function (see page 54).
X: Distance from a specified pattern reference point "0" to the symmetrical pattern refer¬
ence point along the "X" axis (dimension "a").
Y: Distance from the same specified pattern reference point "0" to the symmetrical pat¬
tern reference point along the "Y” axis (dimension "b").
Q: n = 1: Specified pattern punching

n = 2: Symmetrical pattern punching along the "X" axis, centered on a/2-
n = 3: Symmetrical pattern punching along the "Y" axis, centered on b/2-
n = 4: Symmetrical pattern punching along both the "X" and "Y" axes, centered respec¬
tively on a/2 and t>/2.

PATTERN MEMORY AND PATTERN RECALL
AO ... Pattern memory
BO ... Pattern recall
When a pattern instructed by the codes G26 (BHC), G28 (LAA), G29 (ARC), G36 (GRD-X),
G37 (GRD-Y), G66 (SHP), G67 (SQR), G68 (NBL-A), G69 (NBL-L), G78 (PNC-A) or G79
(PNC-L) is used repeatedly, the pattern can be memorized and recalled whenever required.
To memorize a pattern, enter the address letter "A" along with a one-digit numeral (from 1
to 5). To recall the pattern, enter the address letter "B" and the same one-digit numeral as
that was used by "A."
Example: 12 holes — 10 mm dia.

B1 Pattern recall
"AO" should always be entered at the front of the pattern command block; "BO" must be
entered as a single block by itself. "AO" and "BO" are only used for the pattern memory
and recall. Memorization and recalling of a coordinate value are impossible with these.
FO - DESIGNATION OF AXIS FEED SPEED

The axis feed speed can be changed by this code. "FO” must be entered as a single block.
The axis feed speed is decreased as the value following "F" is changed from 1 to 4 (1 2 3
-*ÿ -*ÿ
-*• 4). This code has the same function as the FEEDRATE key located on the main control
panel of the NC unit. When there is a difference between the axis feed rate instructed by
this code and that set by the FEEDRATE key, priority will be given to the slower axis feed
speed. The instruction of the "F" code remains effective until a new "F" code is entered.
If no "F" code is instructed, the axes move at the speed set by the FEEDRATE key.

VOO
WOO .. . Recall
1. Macro storing
Using the macro function, the contents of multiple blocks of data can be stored within the
memory of NC as a single macro data; and this stored data can be recalled whenever re¬
quired. To store multiple blocks of data, enter the address letter "U" along with a two-digit
numeral from "01 to 99" as a single block, preceding the multiple blocks which you wish
to memorize, and enter the address letter "V" using the same two-digit numeral as was used
for the address letter "U" as a single block, after the multiple blocks which you wish to
memorize.
The two-digit numeral following "U" or "V" is called the "macro number." This macro
number comes in the following three types:
01 —59: The blocks of data between "U" and "V" remain stored while they are simul¬

5. Memory capacity for macro (Macro numbers 01 to 89)
The maximum memory capacity for macro is 3100 characters. One character equals:
(1) One letter (G. X. Y, T, M, etc.)
, 0)
(3) One symbol (CR, LF, —, /, etc.)
The delete, space, and other codes which are ignored by the NC are not considered as
characters.
56
6. Storing and recalling of multiple macros
Multiple macros can be stored and recalled by using the macro numbers 90 to 99. These
macro numbers are only capable of defining a group of multiple macros as one macro,
and they are unable to store execution instructions.

The maximum number of macros that can be stored by each of the macro numbers 90 to
99 is 15.
7. Macro memory setting

When the following occurs, all macro data stored in memory will be cancelled:
(a) When the NC power is turned off
(b) When the RESET key is pressed
(c) When "G50," "M02" or "M30” command is executed
However, the macro data stored in memory can be retained under conditions (a) to (c)
above by setting the NC through the main control panel. For this setting procedure, refer
to the OPERATOR'S MANUAL.

MULTIPLE PART PUNCHING
GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE
1. Multiple part punching function

This function is used to punch multiple products which have the same punching pattern
from one worksheet. Once the punching of only one product is programmed, the punching
of multiple products with any desired layout on the worksheet can be performed by using
simple commands.
2. Removal of each product after multiple part punching

When punching twelve products from one worksheet, such as the one depicted in the figure
below, the following three removal methods can be used:

As shown in the figure, the hatched portions are punched out by rectangular punches in
such a manner that the four corners of each product remain unpunched. The four corners
are connected to the worksheet by means of an approx. 0.15 mm joint. After completing
the entire punching process, the worksheet with punched products is removed from the
machine, and each product is then separated from the worksheet.

is cut out, the operator stops the machine and removes the product using a magnet or
by other means.

c. Work chute method

Each product which is separated from the worksheet automatically drops into the work chute.
The work chute opening measures 200 x 200 mm and the product to be dropped must be thus
smaller than this opening.

To store the part program for one product, "U" and a two-digit numeral (macro number)
must be entered at the beginning of the part program to be stored, and "V" and the same
two-digit numeral that was used by "U" must also be entered at the end of the part pro¬
gram. The part program thus positioned between "UOO" and "VOO" is stored in the
memory.
NOTE: a) The same macro numbers must be attached to "U" and "V" in order to store
one part program.
b) Three types of macro numbers are available; one type ranges from 01 to 59,
another type from 60 to 89 and the other type from 90 to 99.
c) The macro numbers 01 through 05 can be specified as one digit by omitting the
zero.
d) On the macro numbers 01 through 89, the maximum limit of the part program
allowed to be stored is 3100 characters on one processing tape.

minimized.
(b) If the processing of a part program starts from the upper right corner (Q4) and ends
at the upper left corner (Q3), the processing of the next part program should start
at the upper left corner (Q3) in order to guarantee efficient movement.
(c) When cutting the outside shape in the process of punching multiple products, it is
desirable to start the punching at the upper portion of the worksheet and move lower
in sequence. For such a procedure, enter the command of: G75 WOO Q4 or 3.
7. U90 to V90
If the starting point designated by "Q" is unchanged and either "G75" or "G76" is to
be used alone, it is possible to represent multiple sets of "UOO and VOO" by a single
"UOO and VOO." The macro number for this function is 90 to 99.
NOTE: In each of the macro numbers 90 to 99, it is possible to store a maximum of 15
types of part programs.

INCLUSION AND PRIORITY RELATIONS BETWEEN G98 AND G93
1. The X- and Y-coordinates specified by "G98" are determined by the coordinate system
which is set by "G92."
2. The coordinate system set by "G98," once specified, cannot be cancelled except by
using the subsequent command "G98" or "G50," pressing the RESET key or turning
off the power.
3. The X- and Y-coordinates specified by "G93" are determined by the coordinate system
which is set by "G98."
4. "G93" which is specified prior to the setting of "G98" will remain effective even after
"G98." The values obtained by adding the X and Y values of "G98" and the X and Y
values of "G93," respectively, will determine the origin of this program.
G92
FIRST PUNCHING, OTHERS PUNCHING, AND ALL PUNCHING

In the conventional method of multiple part punching, punching must be accomplished
over the whole surface of the worksheet, and then dimensional and accuracy checks must be
conducted. Should the program contain any error, substantial worksheet and time losses
would result. However, in this multiple part punching function, selection between three types
of processing is available by key operation on the control panel, i.e. "first punching for one
product,” "multiple punching for remaining products after first punching” and "all punch¬
ing."
For details on this operation, refer to "Controls" in the OPERATOR'S MANUAL.

SUBPROGRAMS
When programs contain patterns which repeat frequently, these patterns can be stored in
the memory in advance as subprograms to be recalled as required.
