Safety suggestions for programming

1. Coordinate system
Incorrect coordinate system may cause the machine not to work as expected even if the program
is correct, which may injure the operator, and damage the machine as well as its tool and
workpiece.
2. G00 rapid traverse

G00 rapid traverse performs nonlinear motion between its starting point and end point. Make sure
that the path for the tool is safe before G00 rapid traverse starts, otherwise the tool, the machine
and the workpiece may be damaged, and even the operator injured.
3. The manual introduces in detail all functions of the system, including optional functions and max.
controllable ranges, which are subject to change with the machine. If there is any doubt, please
read the instruction for the machine.
4. CNC machines depend on CNC systems, but also power voltage cabinets, servo systems, CNC
and the operator panels. It is hard to explain all the integrated functions, programming and
operation. Do not use integrated instructions not included in the manual until they have been
tested successfully.
vi
Safety suggestions for operation

1. Test the machine without workpieces or tools. Make sure that the machine runs well before it
starts to work.
2. Check the input data of the system carefully before operating the machine. Incorrect input data
may cause the machine to work improperly, so as to damage the workpiece and the tool, as well
injure the operator.
3. Make sure that the input feedrate of the system is suitable for the expected operation. Feedrate
has a maximum for each machine, and the amount of the feed rate is subject to change with
operation. Choose the maximum according to the instructions of the machine. Improper feedrate
leads the machine to work wrongly, so as to damage the workpiece and the tool, as well injure the
operator.
4. When tool compensation is needed, check the direction and the amount of the compensation.
Improper compensation causes the machine to work wrongly, so as to damage the workpiece and
the tool, as well injure the operator.
5. If the machine is to run in Manual Mode, check the current position of the tool and the
workpiece, and correctly specify the moving axis, moving direction and the feedrate. Handwheel
control with great override, such as 100, may damage the machine and its tool, even injure the
operator.
6. If the tool is return to the reference point, make sure that the machine has been equipped with the
device to detect the reference point, otherwise, the tool can not reach the reference point, which
may damage the machine and its tool, and even injure the operator.

Fig. 11 Jog mode
4.4.1 Manual Jog
In “Jog” mode, press down a manual feed direction key, and the slider will continuously traverse
along the selected axis and direction. The slider will stop once the key is released. The traverse rate
will be executed according to the selected rapid traverse rate or feedrate.
29
Meanings of manual feed direction keys in “Jog” mode are as follows:
X: manual feed negative direction key
X: manual feed positive direction key
Z: manual feed negative direction key
Z: manual feed positive direction key
Note 1 ： Press the feed key in “Jog” mode, and the slider will traverse when the external
spindle and the feed hold knob are permitted to feed; press the manual feed key,
and the slider does not traverse in the state of feed hold.
Note 2: Even though the feed key is released, because the system automatically
accelerates/decelerates, the slide will continuously traverse not to stop when the
motor runs rapidly. The actual moving distance is determined by max. speed of
the motor, the acceleration/deceleration time and the feedrate override. The more
the acceleration /deceleration time is and the rapider the speed is, the longer the
moving distance of motor decelerating is, otherwise the moving distance is
shorter.
4.4.2 Manual Step
In “Step” mode, the moving distance of slider each time is preset. The slider will traverse one setting
step in the selected coordinate axis and its direction when the manual feed direction key is pressed
once. When the key is pressed down, the slider feeds as one step until the last step after it is released.

Its step size is divided into 7 grades: 0.001 0.01 0.1 1.0 10.0 50.0
Press to select each step size. The step size degrades one grade if it is pressed
once. It returns to the first grade after the last one is selected.
Note 1: In “Step” mode, press PAUSE to stop slider traversing. When the key is
pressed down, the slider stops and the unfinished step will not be reserved, and
then the feed key is pressed to execute the next step feed. The step size is the
moving distance in diameter in X direction.
Note 2: When the manual feed key is pressed, the external spindle and the feed hold knob
are permitted to feed, the slider traverses. When the manual step feed key is
pressed, the slider does not traverse in the state of feed hold.
Note 3: When the slider is traversing and the feed hold knob rotates to the feed hold
position, the slider will decelerate to stop and the unfinished step size will not be
reserved.
4.4.3 Manual MPG(handwheel) control
In “MPG(handwheel)” mode, the micro motion of slider is controlled by rotating the manual

X MPG Z MPG
pulse generator (MPG(handwheel)). Press or to enter
“MPG(handwheel)” mode and select the coordinate axis controlled by the MPG(handwheel) at the same time.
See Fig. 13 (taking X axis as example).
GSK MANUAL HANDWHEEL X 0.001
X 0000.000
Z 0000.000
Fig. 13 MPG(handwheel) control
 Rotate the MPG(handwheel) after selecting the required coordinate axis to traverse. The selected
axis will traverse along with the MPG(handwheel) rotating.
The MPG(handwheel) rotates (CW), the axis traverses positively. The
MPG(handwheel) rotates (CCW), the axis traverses negatively.
 There are three gears for each motion amount of handwheeel: 0.001, 0.01, 0.1mm.
Press to switch among them. The system will automatically select 0.1 mm
when the previous step size exceeds 0.1 from “Step” mode to “MPG(handwheel)” mode.
Note 1: The speed of MPG(handwheel) should be lower than 5 rev/s, otherwise the motor
still traverses even if the MPG(handwheel) has stopped, which causes the moving
distance does not correspond with the scale.
Note 2: In “MPG(handwheel)” mode, all the functions related to the axis moving including
Jog, reference point return, incremental/absolute movement are invalid, but S, M,
T and other auxiliary functions are valid.
32
Note 3: Even if the MPG(handwheel) is shaken, the slider does not traverse when the
external spindle and the feed hold knob forbid the slider to traverse. The spindle
speed cannot be changed real time.
Note 4: When the bigger override (X 100) is selected, the motor will rapidly traverse if the
MPG(handwheel) is rotated rapidly. At the moment, because the system
automatically accelerates/ decelerate, the motor will traverse not to stop although
the MPG(handwheel) stops. The actual moving distance is determined by max.
speed of motor, the acceleration/ deceleration time, the feedrate override and the
MPG(handwheel) speed. The rapider the speed is, the longer the
acceleration/deceleration time is and the rapider the MPG(handwheel) speed is,
the longer the moving distance of motor decelerating is, otherwise the shorter the
moving distance of motor is.
4.4.4 Manual feedrate
Select the feedrate override in Jog feed mode.
The feedrate override increases one gear by pressing it once. Max.
value :150%.
The feedrate override degrades one gear by pressing it once. Min.

4.4.6 Creating a workpiece coordinate
GSK928TE CNC system is employed with a floating workpiece coordinate which is the
benchmark of toolsetting and related dimension. After the system is installed, the workpiece
coordinate must be created firstly. When the actual position is inconsistent with that of the workpiece
coordinate, the coordinate is created again as follows:
1. Install the trial workpiece reliably on the machine, and select a tool (usually select the first one
used in machining).
2. Select the proper spindle speed, and then start the spindle. Traverse the tool in “Jog” mode,
35
and cut a small sidestep of the workpiece.

3. Do not traverse the tool in X direction but in Z direction to the safe position, and stop the
spindle.
INPUT
4. Measure the diameter of the cut sidestep. Press to display SETTING , and
then press X to display SETTING X, at last, input the metrical diameter and press Enter,
so the system creates automatically X axis of workpiece coordinate system, if Esc is
pressed , the system cancels the creation of X axis of workpiece coordinate system.
5. Start the spindle again and traverse the tool to cut a face on the workpiece in “Jog” mode.
6. Do not traverse the tool in Z direction but in X direction to the safe position, and stop the
spindle.
7. Select a datum mark (it is a fixed point on the machine, such as the face of chuck, the datum
plane of fixture, which can ensure the created new workpiece coordinate system coincides with
the previous broken one). Measure the distance from the cut face to the
INPUT
datum mark in Z direction. Press to display SETTING and press Z to
display SETTING Z , at last, input the metrical diameter and press Enter, the system
creates automatically Z axis of workpiece coordinate system, if Esc is pressed , the system
cancels the creation of Z axis of workpiece coordinate system.
Clear out the previous system offset after the workpiece coordinate system has been
created as the above-mentioned operation. If the workpiece coordinate system is not created, there
is warp between the current coordinate values displayed in X, Z direction and the actual tool
position. Initialize the system before creating the workpiece coordinate system.
4.4.7 Reference point
The reference point can be any position on the machine. Once the reference point is created, the slider
anywhere else will return to this point by executing the reference point return (G26,
36
G27, G29) or pressing the reference point return keys. At the moment, cancel the tool
compensation and the system offset. See operations as follows:
Press Input to display SETTING, and then press 0 to display REFERENCE POINT ?, at
the moment, the point is the reference point by pressing Enter. Cancel the setting of
reference point by pressing Esc . There is no responding by pressing other keys.
After the reference point is set, the previous coordinate value do not be changed in the new one if the
workpiece coordinate is created again, and at the moment, the reference point needs to be set again.
The initial value of reference point is X=150, +Z=150.
4.4.8 Incremental movement of coordinate axis
In “Jog” mode, traverse one axis according to the distance and direction input by user instead of the
step size defined by the system. Operations are as follows:
1. Select the required axis to traverse. Press U to traverse X axis, and the system displays
TRAVERSE U; press U to traverse Z, the system displays TRAVERSE W.
2. Input the required actual moving distance by keyboard. Input the value with negative sign in
X, Z negative direction. The value in X direction is in diameter. Press
to delete the wrong input. Press Esc to cancel the input and return to
“Jog” mode.
3. After inputting the data, press Enter, and the system displays “ RUNNING ？”; press
RUNNING to traverse the selected axis according to the input distance and the
direction. Press Esc to cancel the movement and return to “Jog” mode.
4. The incremental speed is the current selected manual speed.
Example：The slider traverses 15.8 mm from the current position in X negative direction as follows:
Press U–15.8 Enter , and the system displays RUNNING ？; press
RUNNING to traverse 15.8 mm in X negative direction.
37
4.4.9 Absolute movement of coordinate axis

4.4.12 Manual spindle speed control
H/L
For the machine with the multi-gear motor, press or directly input the spindle speed
code to control the speed in “Jog” mode.
(1) Mechanical gear shifting control

When the MDSP of P12 is zero (spindle speed controlled by the mechanical gear shifting), the
output mode of gear signal with multi-gear control is selected by SCOD bit of P11. When the
MDSP is 1, SCOD bit is invalid.
SCOD=0: the gear signal is directly output for each bit. Each gear signal corresponds to an output
point from S0 to S4. S0 means that all output is invalid.
SCOD=1: the gear signal is output according to the code. At the moment, the specific spindle
speed is gained from S00 to S15 by the external power circuit decode as follows:
Code
S00 S01 S02 S03 S04 S05 S06 S07 S08 S09 S10 S11 S12 S13 S14 S15
Output point
S1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
S2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
S3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
S4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“★” means the output of corresponding output point is invalid.
Spindle speed control operation：
Input S codes by keyboard to control the spindle speed. Pressing“ S” inputs the required
40
speed code; press “Enter”, and the system outputs the control signal according to the selected S
code mode.
Example: Select the eighth gear spindle speed.

Input orderly S 8 Enter, and S8 signal is output with the displaying PROGRAMMING
SPEED S08.
H/L
Besides, press to change the spindle speed. If it is pressed once, the spindle
speed is output circularly S1, S2, S3, S4,(SCOD=0) or S0～S15 (SCOD=1). The spindle
H/L
speed switches from S2 to S1 by pressing only three times when the spindle speed
has two-gear.
(2) Frequency conversion control:

Select the converter to control the spindle speed when MDSP of P12 is 1. Directly input the speed to
control the spindle when the machine is equipped with the converter to control the spindle.
Press key to display and input the required speed, then press Enter, the system
converts the speed to 0-0V analog voltage by the output interface to output to the converter.
S S
 To settle problems of the inverter with low speed and torque, the system can execute
automatically the three-gear output signal, matching with the converter to ensure the machine
gain the low speed and power torque under the high frequency. The system provides three
codes: M41, M42, M43 and three parameters: P09, P10, P24.
P09: Reach max. speed when the reduction gear of spindle is positioned on the low gear. P10:
Reach max. speed when the reduction gear of spindle is positioned on the high gear.
P24: Reach max. speed when the reduction gear of spindle is positioned on the medium gear.
M41: Output the low gear signal and use max. speed set by P09. M42:
Output the medium gear signal and use max. speed set by P24. M43: Output
the high gear signal and use max. speed set by P10.
Use M41, M42, M43 to select the required gear of spindle and then input directly the required
speed, and the system will automatically convert the output voltage to control the
41
speed of converter according to the current position of reduction gear. After power on, the system
will fault M43, i.e. the spindle is positioned on the high gear.
 Display the spindle speed:

CHCD=0 of P11: the programmed spindle speed is displayed on the screen. CHCD=1
of P11: the actual spindle speed is displayed.
 Detecting the encoder lines of spindle: the system directly detects the pulse amount per rev of
spindle encoder in “Jog” mode as follows:
DRY
Start the spindle and press , and the system displays the pulse amount per
rev of spindle encoder. The system will prompt ENCODER WRONG if the spindle is not
started or the encoder does not be installed. Press any keys to end the detection and return to
“Jog” mode.
Note 1: The spindle speed is controlled by MDSP bit of P12.

MDSP=0: it is the multi-gear control;
MSDP=1: it is 0-10V analog voltage
control.
Note 2: MDSP=1 of P12: SCOD bit of P11 is invalid, i.e. the spindle is always controlled by
the converter. At the moment, the output point S1, S2, S3, S4 is controlled by M41,
M42, M43, and the corresponding output point cannot be controlled by the spindle
gear shifting key.
4.4.13 Manual coolant control
In “Jog” mode, press the key to control the coolant ON/OFF.
COOLANT Coolant ON/OFF
42
Press COOLANT to switch the coolant ON/OFF. Start the coolant, and the system displays
the coolant is ON and LED is ON; stop the coolant, and the system displays the coolant OFF
and LED OFF.
4.4.14 Manual tool change
This system can control the toolpost with 4 tool selections. It also can be extended to 8 tool selections
when T5～T8 tool selection signals are input in code mode. Three kinds of tool change methods are
as follows:
 Set MODT of P12 to 0 and press TOOL once, and the toolpost rotates to the next
controllable tool number and the system displays the corresponding one.
 Set MODT of P12 to 1, press TOOL once and Enter, and the toolpost rotates to
the next controllable tool number and the system displays the corresponding
controllable tool number. If TOOL is pressed, the toolpost cannot execute the tool
change when other keys are pressed.
 Input T * O directly by keyboard (* standing for rotating to the required controllable tool
number) and then press Enter, and the toolpost rotates to * which is pointing to the
controllable tool, and 0 stands for canceling the tool offset.
Note 1: For the first two methods, do not execute the tool compensation but the tool
change, but for the third, execute the corresponding tool compensation after
inputting the tool compensation number behind * .
Example: Input T22: switching to No. 2 tool and executing its compensation. Input
T31: switching to No. 3 tool and executing its compensation.
43
Input T40: switching to No. 4 tool and executing its compensation. Input
T00: canceling the tool change and the tool compensation.
Note 2: If the rotation toolpost is failure, the system displays NULL TOOL NO. , which
indicates that the system has not found the corresponding tool number in the
specified time.
Note 3: The system is employed with the absolute tool change. When adopting the rotation
toolpost, the tool number is fixed on the toolpost. It ensures the tool number on the
toolpost is the same as the one displayed on the screen.
Note 4: When TCON of P11 is 1, select the line-up toolpost. There is no signal output when
executing the tool change.
Note 5: When using the third method, execute the tool compensation by traversing the
slider or modifying the system coordinate which is defined by PTST bit of P11.
 PTSR=0: do not modify the coordinate but traverse the slider to execute
the tool compensation.
 PTSR=1: do not traverse the slider but modify the coordinate to execute
the tool compensation.
4.4.15 Manual toolsetting
Usually, several tools are employed in the course of machining a workpiece. Owing to the installation
and tool offset, the cutting position to which each tool rotates cannot coincide with that of the tool
nose. To avoid the tool offset in programming, this system set the automatic toolsettig method
according to the tool offset. User does not consider the tool offset but edits the part program
according to the workpiece drawing and the cutting technology, and calls the corresponding tool
compensation in the tool change code during the course of machining (For the usage, see Program,
tool compensation function).
Here are the two methods in this system:
GSK928TE CNC system has set the trial cutting and the fixed point toolsetting, and user can
select anyone. The specifications are as follows:
Trial cutting toolsetting mode:
(Create the workpiece coordinate system before adopting the trial cutting toolsetting mode. The
operations are the same those of ones after setting the workpiece coordinate system or executing the
reference point return.
1. Prepare for the toolsetting.
2. Input T00 to cancel the previous tool offset and then execute the toolsetting when the
44
tool offset number is not zero，otherwise the system will count all values between the previous
tool offset value and the new one (the operations must be executed when the tool is worn and
needed to execute the toolsetting again). If necessary, execute the toolsetting with the tool offset.
3. Select any one tool after the workpiece is fixed on the machine (usually, the tool is the first one
used in machining).
4. Start the spindle with the proper speed. Traverse the tool to cut a little sidestep on the
workpiece in “Jog” mode.
5. Do not traverse the tool in X direction but in Z direction to the safe position, and stop the spindle.
6. Measure the diameter of sidestep cut. Press I to display OFFSETTING X and input
the metrical diameter, and then press Enter T*X
to display (* standing for the current
controllable tool number) and press to count the tool offset value in X direction
Enter
and store the value to X axis tool offset parameter area to which * corresponds. The
offset value can be searched and modified in “Offset” mode. When T * X is displayed on
the screen, input the digit 1～8 and press Enter to count the tool offset value and store
it to the X tool offset parameter area to which the input digit corresponds. Press not Enter
but Esc to cancel the count and the storage of tool offset.
7. Start the spindle again and traverse the tool to cut a face in “Jog” mode.
8. Do not traverse the tool in Z direction but in X direction to the safe position, and stop the spindle.
Select a point as a datum mark (usually, the datum mark is a fixed point such as the chuck face,
the fixture datum plane, which is contributed to find easily the previous datum mark when
executing the toolsetting again), and measure the distance from the
cut face to the selected datum mark in Z direction. Press K to display OFFSET Z and
input the metrical data, and then press tool Enter
to display T * Z(* standing for the current to
position No.), and last press
Enter count the tool offset value in Z direction and
store it to Z axis tool offset parameter area to which * corresponds. The offset value can
be searched and modified in “Offset” mode. When T is displayed on the screen, input
*Z
the number 1～8 and press Enter to count the tool offset value and store it to Z axis tool
offset parameter area to which the input number corresponds. Press not cancel Enter but Esc to
the count and the storage.
9. Change another tool and repeat the above-mentioned operations 1-6 to execute other toolsetting.
10. If the workpiece coordinate system has not been changed, all toolsettings are executed like the
above-mentioned. The toolsetting is easy and convenient when the tool is worn or needed to
adjust. Firstly, cancel the tool compensation (T00) or execute reference
45
point return when the tool compensation cannot be input or the counting data is wrong.
Fixed point toolsetting mode:

1. Select anyone tool (usually it is the first one used in machining) as a reference tool after
installing the trial cutting workpiece on the machine.
2. Start the spindle with the proper speed.
3. Select the proper manual feedrate, traverse the tool to the specified toolsetting point on the
workpiece in the manual feed mode, and stop the movement when the tool coincides with the
toolsetting point.
4. Press Enter , and the system display the current tool number and tool offset number in
highlight, then press continuously RUNNING two times, and the system displays
normally the current tool number and tool offset number, and automatically records the current
coordinate and considers it as the toolsetting reference of other tools (the operation cannot
executed if it is not the reference tool). It is necessary to execute the following operation for the
reference tool.
INPUT
5. Press Enter and then (if the tool wears, press to execute
the toolsetting by taking the executed toolsetting tool as a reference), and the system displays
normally the current tool number and tool offset number, counts the offset value of the current
corresponding tool number and stores it to the corresponding parameter area. The offset value
can be searched and modified in “Offset” mode.
6. Traverse the tool to the tool change position from the toolsetting position in “Jog” mode
and rotate the next required one to the cutting position by manual tool change.
7. Repeat the above-mentioned operations 2, 3, 5 until all toolsettings have been completed.
Note 1: When adopting the optic toolsetting instrument, do not start the spindle but fix the
toolsetting point on the cross point of the toolsetting instrument, other operations
are the same as the above-mentioned.
46
Note 2: The tool offset automatically created by the system can be displayed and modified in
“Offset” mode. See Operation, Offset mode.
Note 3: If the tool is worn to change or a new one is installed, select another one which has
been executed the toolsetting as the reference tool. Firstly, fix the tool to the
selected point on the workpiece according to the toolsetting of reference tool (as
the above-mentioned operation No. 4 instead of No. 5), then, return to the safe
position, last, change the new tool and repeat the above No. 2, 3, 5 step to
execute the toolsetting (the previous offset value is not always zero).
Note 4: When the line-up toolpost toolsetting is used and the tool is on the other side of
workpiece, the input metrical value in X direction is negative in the course of trial
cutting toolsetting. When the fixed point toolsetting is executed by hand, the tool
offset value sign related to the tool number in X direction is changed, i.e. “+” is
changed into “-”and“-”into “+”.
4.4.16 Manual reference point return
The operations of reference point return in X, Z direction must be executed at the same time. Press the
following keys to execute the reference point return at any moment after defining
the reference point.
Reference point return in X direction
Press the key to return from the current point to the reference point in X direction at the selected
speed.
Reference point return in Z direction

Press the key to return from the current point to the reference point in Z direction at the selected
speed.
Note: Cancel separately the tool offset and the system offset in the corresponding axis after
executing the reference point return. After executing the reference point return in X, Z
direction, the system returns the state of canceling the tool offset and the system
offset, displaying T * 0 (* is the current tool number).
47
4.4.17 Manual machine zero return (machine home return)
Each machine has a fixed point as a reference point. The accumulative error can be deleted by
returning to the machining starting point after executing the machine zero return each time. Before
machining, firstly execute the machine zero return, and then specify the starting point of machining, at
last, write down its coordinate. For restarting the machine after power off, firstly execute the machine
zero return, and then return to the machining starting point written down to start programs, which
make the actual position accord with the system coordinate caused by man moving the machine.
Cancel the machine zero return when MZRO of P12 is 0
Machine zero return in X direction
Press the key to traverse positively to the machine zero in X direction at the selected rapid traverse
rate.
Machine zero return in Z direction

Press the key to traverse positively to the machine zero in Z direction at the selected rapid traverse
rate.
Operations of machine zero return with the machine zero signal (MZRM=O of P12) are
as follows:
1. The slider positively traverses along the selected axis at the rapid traverse rate. After the
mechanical stopper pushes down the deceleration signal of machine zero return, the slider begins
to decelerate to the lowest traverse rate (it is defined by P17 or P18), and traverses continuously
till the mechanical stopper disengages from the deceleration signal of machine zero return.
2. The slider traverses continuously at the lowest traverse rate. When this system receives the signal
of one rev of motor encoder, the slider reaches the machine zero and stops the motion. Such is the
operation of machine zero return. The coordinate is set to the data defined by T9X or T9Z in the
course of tool compensation.
Operations of machine zero return without the machine zero signal are as follows:
1. The slider positively traverses along the selected axis at the rapid traverse rate. After the
mechanical stopper pushes down the deceleration signal of machine zero return the
48
slider begins to decelerate to the lowest traverse rate (it is defined by P17 or P18), and traverses
continuously. The coordinate is set to the data defined by T9X or T9Z in the course of tool
compensation.
2. Stop the motion when the mechanical stopper disengages from the deceleration signal of
machine zero return, and so the operation of machine zero return is completed.
Note 1: The machine zero return is positive. Ensure that the toolpost is placed in the
negative direction of the machine zero before executing the reference point return
machine.
Note 2: If the machine is not equipped with the deceleration signal of machine zero, the
MZRO bit of P12 must be set to 0 to cancel the reference point return, otherwise
the toolpost traverses at max. speed to cause accidents.
Note 3: Cancel the system offset and the tool offset after executing the machine zero return.
4.4.18 Hydraulic chuck control function
When HCLP bit of P25 is 1, the system has the hydraulic chuck control function. Separately select
the clamping mode and the output signal mode of chuck according to HMOD bit and HPOL bit of
P25 when the hydraulic chuck control is valid. Whether the in-position signal is detected is defined
by HCHK bit; the hydraulic chuck control and the spindle control have a relationship of interlock.
HMOD=0：the hydraulic chuck is outside chuck mode;
HMOD=1：the hydraulic chuck is inside chuck mode；
HPOL=0：the hydraulic chuck control signal is employed with the level control； HPOL=1：the
hydraulic chuck control signal is employed with the pulse control; its width is
defined by the time of P15；
HCHK=0：the hydraulic chuck needs to receive the in-position feedback signal； HCHK=1：the
hydraulic chuck does not need to receive the in-position feedback signal.
In outside chuck mode: After M10 is executed, the system outputs the chuck clamping signal from X
7.19 (the output pulse or the level signal is selected by the parameter) and the chuck clamping
operation ends without needing the in-position feedback signal; when needing the in-position
feedback signal, the chuck clamping operation ends after detecting the in-position of chuck clamping
within 5 seconds, otherwise the system prompts“CHUCK NOT OK”;
After M11 is executed, the system outputs the chuck unclamping signal from X 7.18 (the
49
output pulse or the level signal is selected by the parameter), the chuck unclamping operation ends
without needing the in-position feedback signal; when needing the in-position feedback signal, the
chuck unclamping operation ends after detecting the chuck unclamping in-position signal, otherwise
the system prompts“CHUCK NOT OK”;
In inside chuck mode: after M10 is executed, the system outputs the chuck clamping signal from X
7.18, (the output pulse or the level signal is selected by the parameter), and the chuck clamping
operation ends without needing the in-position feedback signal; when needing the in-position
feedback signal, the chuck clamping operation ends after detecting the chuck clamping in-position
signal within 5 seconds, otherwise the system prompts “CHUCK NOT OK”;
After M11 is executed, the system outputs the chuck unclamping signal from X 7.19, (the
output pulse or the level signal is selected by the parameter), the chuck unclamping operation ends
without needing the in-position feedback signal; when needing the in-position feedback signal, the
chuck unclamping operation ends after detecting the chuck unclamping in-position signal, otherwise
the system prompts“CHUCK NOT OK”
Besides codes, other ways are employed to control the hydraulic chuck, including the
external pedal switch. The system switches the clamping/unclamping by M10/M11 when the pedal
switch is stepped once.

Note 1: When the hydraulic chuck control is valid, the previous user input codes
(M91/M92/M93/M94) are invalid; when the hydraulic chuck control is invalid, the
output point is still used to the general one without interlocking with the spindle; the
input point is still used by the user, and M91/M92/M93/M94 are still valid.
Note 2: When the hydraulic chuck control is valid, the system defaults the chuck
unclamping after power on, the first control input of chuck is valid and the system
outputs the signal of chuck clamping.
Note 3: The chuck control invalid when the spindle rotates.
50
Note 4: When the spindle rotates in the state of chuck unclamping, the system
prompts“ CHUCK NOT OK” and the spindle stops at the same time.
Note 5: In the course of automatic (continuous) run, the pedal switch control is invalid
whether the spindle rotates or not. When executing M10/M11 in the course of
spindle rotating, the system prompts “SPINDLE NOT OK” to stop executing the
next block; when executing M3 or M4 in the state of chuck unclamping, the system
prompts: “CHUCK NOT OK” to stop executing the next block.
4.4.19 Hydraulic tailstock control function
When HYWT bit of P25 is 1, the system has the hydraulic tailstock control function. The output
signal mode of tailstock is defined by HMOD bit of P25 (level or pulse mode) when the hydraulic
tailstock control is valid. The hydraulic chuck control and the spindle control have a relationship of
interlock.
HPOL=0: the hydraulic tail47stock control signal is employed with the level control;
HPOL=1: the hydraulic tailstock control signal is employed with the pulse control; the pulse width is
defined by the time of P15.
After M78 is executed, the system outputs the tailstock forward signal from X 7.5(the output pulse or
level signal is selected by the parameter), the tailstock forward operation ends; when executing M78
in the course of the spindle rotating, the system prompts “SPINDLE
NOT OK”
After M79 is executed, the system outputs the tailstock backward signal from X 7.16(the output pulse
or the level signal is selected by the parameter), the tailstock backward operation ends; when
executing M79 in the course of the spindle rotating, the system prompts “SPINDLE NOT OK”.
Besides the codes, other ways are employed to control the hydraulic tailstock, including the pedal
switch. The system will switch the forward/backward by M78/M79 when the pedal switch is stepped
once.

output point is still used for the general one and the input point is used for the in-
position signal input.
Note 2: When the hydraulic tailstock function is valid, the system defaults the state of the
tailstock retracting after power on. The system outputs the forward signal of
tailstock when the first chuck control input is valid.
Note 3: The operation of tailstock is invalid when the spindle is rotating.
Note 4: In the course of automatically continuous machining, the tailstock control input is
invalid whether the spindle rotates or not. When executing M78/M79 in the
course of spindle rotating, the system prompts: “SPINDLE NOT OK” to stop
executing the next block.

Note ：The tool change cannot be executed by manual pressing keys in “Auto” mode.
4.5.5 Override adjust
In “Auto” mode, the running speed of program can be adjustd by changing the feedrate override
without changing the set speed in programs or parameters
 Feedrate override adjust the value defined by F in the program:
Actual feedrate = F×feedrate override
It has 16 gears from 0%-150% (increment of 10%). All the feedrate codes are controlled by
feedrate override. When the feedrate override is 0, the programs stop.
 Rapid traverse override adjust the rapid traverse rate (G00)
64
X actual rapid traverse rate = P05×rapid traverse override Z

actual rapid traverse rate = P06×rapid traverse override
The rapid traverse override is divided into 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%. All feed codes and the operations
are controlled by the rapid traverse override.
The feedrate override will increase one gear by pressing once (Max. 150%).
The feedrate override will reduce one gear by pressing once (Min. 0%).
The rapid traverse override will increase one gear by pressing once (Max.
100%).
The rapid traverse override will reduce one gear by pressing once (Min. 25%).
Note: Whether programs are running or not, pressing the above-mentioned corresponding
key can change the rapid traverse rate. The speed of slider will be changed if the
rapid traverse rate override is changed when the programs are running.
4.5.6 Operations in a part program running
The operations in the course of part program running are as follows:

 Feed hold
After pressing RUNNING ，the toolpost stops with PAUSE ！on the screen.
If the feed hold function is valid, the system will continuously execute the unfinished block by
ESC
pressing . If is pressed, the system returns to the feed hold state
RUNNING
65
not to execute the following block and switches automatically to Single mode, and the program
automatically returns to the first block. In the state of feed hold, the feedrate override key, the rapid
traverse override key, the spindle start/stop key and the coolant ON/OFF key are valid.
Note: After executing the feed hold, ensure the spindle is started before running to avoid
the unexpected accidence.
 Single block stop
SINGLE
Press to stop to execute the next program after finishing the current block with on the
HALT screen.
RUNNIN RUNNIN
After single block stopping, press G G
to execute continuously the
ESC
program or press to return to “Auto” mode and the program stops.
Note ： The operation of single block stop is valid when the program is running in Auto
(Continuous) Run mode, and pressing key is invalid when the program is running in
Auto Single mode. When executing the canned cycle codes, the operation of single
block stop is valid after finishing each step of the canned cycle.
 Coolant ON/OFF
Press COOLANT to switch coolant ON/OFF.

When the coolant is ON, the system displays
COOLANT ON and LED is ON in the top right
corner; when the coolant is OFF, the system displays LED
COOLANT OFF on the screen and

66
 Override
The feedrate override and the rapid traverse override are adjustd when the program is running or the
feed hold is valid, and the speed is immediate valid after tuning. For the tuning operation, see
Section Operation, 4.5.5 Override adjust.
Before executing each block, the system prompts ZERO F. OVERRIDE when the feedrate
override is zero. When the feedrate override is adjustd to zero in the course of program running, the
program will stop and the system has no the prompt. The program continues to run when the feedrate
override is not zero.
4.5.7 Reference point return in Auto mode
To simplifying operations, the part program can be started wherever the slider is placed after
defining the workpiece coordinate system and the reference point. At the moment, the first traverse
code of part program must be G00 and must be positioned with X, Z absolute coordinate. In this
case, the operation of reference point return by pressing key or with G26/G27/G29 is to return to the
defined reference point. After using G26/G27/G29, use G00 to again position the absolute coordinate
of Z/X axis (i.e. G00 Z_ X_) to gain the qualified machining.
After executing the reference point return by pressing key, the system will automatically
point to the first block. At the moment, if is pressed, the system runs from the
RUNNING
first block.
4.5.8 Feed hold knob in automatic run
GSK928TE CNC System is equipped with an external interface of feed/spindle hold knob.
Traverse or stop the spindle and the slider when the knob is placed on the different position. Use the
knob to control conveniently the starting/stopping of spindle and the slide. There are three positions
of feed hold knob and its function as follows:
Position 1: permit the spindle to rotate and the slider to traverse. Position 2:
permit the spindle to rotate and forbid the slider to traverse.
Position 3: forbid the spindle to rotate and the slider to traverse.
67
Note: see the specific symbol specification of feed hold

knob from the machine manufacture.
Feed hold knob
4.5.8.1 Specification of feed hold knob

Before program running
Press the correspond keys to control the spindle starting/stopping when the feed hold knob is placed to
the position 1 and 2; but the spindle cannot be started when it is placed to the position 3.
In Auto Single mode
When the knob is placed to the position 1, all codes run normally; when it is placed to the position 2,
the control codes for spindle run but the traverse codes in X, Z direction do not run until the knob is
placed to the position 1, when it is placed to the position 3, no blocks run.
In Auto (Continuous) Run mode
After starting programs, the feed hold knob can be rotated any time to control the spindle and the
slider.
When the knob is placed to the position 1, programs run normally.
When the knob is rotated from 1 to 2, the slider stops and the spindle still keeps the previous state.
When the knob is rotated from 2 to 3, the spindle stops.
When the knob is rotated from 3 to 2, the spindle restores the previous state. When the
knob is rotated from 2 to 1, the slider starts to run.
The system will automatically escapes from the automatic machining state after pressing or the
Esc
reset key in the course of the feed hold and the spindle stopping. The previous state of spindle and
the unfinished codes cannot be reserved. Programs are restarted if the
machining is executed continuously.

Pressing or can page up or page down to display other parameters,
and pressing ↓ ↑ can display the previous or next parameter and its Chinese
definition.
4.6.1 Parameter specification
After the parameter number is selected, it is displayed in highlight and its name is displayed with
Chinese under the screen. The specific definitions are as follows:
69
4.6.1.1 P01 P02—Z positive/negative overtravel (soft limit)
P01, P02 defines separately the max. stroke of toolpost in Z positive and negative direction. If Z
coordinate is not less than what is defined by P01 (positive overtravel), the slider traverses in Z
negative direction instead of positive direction. If Z coordinate is not more than what is defined by
P02 (negative overtravel), the slider traverses in Z positive direction instead of negative direction.
Unit: mm.
4.6.1.2 P03 P04—X positive/negative overtravel (soft limit)
P03, P04 defines separately the max. stroke of toolpost in X positive and negative direction. If X
coordinate is not less than what is defined by P03 (positive overtravel), the slider traverses in X
negative direction instead of positive direction. If X coordinate is not more than what is defined by
P04 (negative overtravel), the slider traverses in X positive direction instead of negative direction.
Unit: mm
Note 1: Though the coordinates range is 16000 (±8000)，but the incremental moving
distance cannot be more than 8000 in “Auto” mode.
4.6.1.3 P05—Z rapid traverse rate
P05 defines the rapid traverse rate in Z direction in “Jog” mode and G00. The actual rapid traverse
rate is also controlled by the rapid traverse override. Z actual rapid traverse rate = P05* rapid
traverse override. Unit: mm/min
4.6.1.4 P06—X rapid traverse rate
P06 defines the rapid traverse rate in X direction in “Jog” mode and G00. The actual rapid traverse
rate is also controlled by the rapid traverse override. X actual rapid traverse rate = P05* rapid
traverse override. Unit: mm/min
4.6.1.5 P07 P08—X, Z backlash value
P07 P08 separately defines X, Z backlash value of mechanically-driven. Unit: mm.

There are backlash clearance in the lead screw, the decelerator and other driving device, which cause
the error in the repeated motion of toolpost. To avoid the error, set P07, P08,
70
which make CNC system automatically compensate the error when the machine changes its moving
direction.
Measurement method of mechanically-driven backlash (Example: Z axis):
 Select “Jog” mode and the proper feedrate.
 Install the dial indicator on the proper position of the machine, move the toolpost to the probe
of the dial indicator and set its pointer to zero.
 Select “Step” mode with the step size 1.0 mm.
 Press Z feed key ( or ) to traverse the toolpost to the dial indicator and make it
point to zero when rotating one circle.
 Press Z feed key( or )to traverse in the opposite direction and the pointer of dial
indicator turns around. The pointer cannot return to zero because of the backlash. At the
moment, D-value between the pointed position of pointer and zero is the backlash value of Z
axis.
Note 1: Repeat the above-mentioned operations many times to gain the exact
measurement value.
Note 2: The measurement method of X backlash is the same that of Z, but the D-value
must multiply 2 to convert to the diameter value.
Note 3: The compensation speed of X, Z backlash is the initial speed (P17, P18 value) of
each axis.
4.6.1.6 P09—low gear speed of spindle
P09 defines max. speed when the system is employed with the converter to control the spindle with
the low gear (M41 is valid) and the 10V analog output voltage of system. P09 is invalid when the
spindle is controlled with multi-gear switching value. Unit: r/min.
4.6.1.7 P10—high gear speed of spindle
P10 defines max. speed when the system is employed with the converter to control the spindle with
the high gear (M43 is valid) and the 10V analog output voltage of system. P10 is invalid when the
spindle is controlled with multi-gear switching value. Unit: r/min.
Note: The system will consider P10 value as the output benchmark when the spindle has no
high/medium/low gear. At the moment, P09, P23 are invalid. The high gear is valid
after power on.
71
4.6.1.8 P11 P12 一 bit parameter 1，2

It can be up to 6～8 tool selections when the tool selection signals are input by the specified code.
4.6.1.10 P14—toolpost reversing time
P14 sets the locking signal duration of motor reversing when the rotation toolpost is executing the
tool change. Unit: 0.1 second.
Note: The value of P14 should be changed properly with the different rotation toolpost. If
the parameter value is too big, the motor will easily become hot and be damaged; if
the parameter value is too small, the toolpost cannot be locked tightly. So use the
different parameter values and select the proper one.
74
4.6.1.11 P15—M code pulse time
P15 defines the duration of pulse signal when the spindle, the coolant, the hydraulic chuck/tailstock are
employed with the pulse control mode. Unit: 0.1 second.
4.6.1.12 P16—brake signal time of spindle
P16 defines the duration of brake signal when the brake signal of spindle is output. Unit: 0.1 second.
4.6.1.13 P17—lowest initial speed in Z direction
P17 defines the lowest initial speed in Z direction with G00 or in “Jog” mode. Unit: mm/min. When the
actual speed in Z direction is lower than the value of P17, there is no course of the
acceleration/deceleration in Z direction. The value of P17 must be adjustd to the proper one according
to the actual load of machine.
4.6.1.14 P18—lowest initial speed in X direction
P18 defines the lowest initial speed in X direction with G00 or in “Jog” mode. Unit: mm/min. When the
actual speed in X direction is lower than the value of P18, there is no course of the
acceleration/deceleration in X direction. The value of P18 must be adjustd to the proper one according
to the actual load of machine.
4.6.1.15 P19—acceleration/deceleration time in Z direction
P19 defines the acceleration time in Z direction from the lowest initial speed (P17) to the max. speed
(P5) in linear movement with G00 or in “Jog” mode. Unit: millisecond.
The course of acceleration is longer in Z direction when the value of P19 is bigger. So the value of
P19 should be smaller as possible to improve the efficiency according to loading characteristics.
4.6.1.16 P20—acceleration/deceleration time in X direction

P20 defines the acceleration time in X direction from the lowest initial speed (P18) to the
highest speed (P6) in linear movement with G00 or in “Jog” mode. Unit: millisecond.
The course of acceleration is longer in X direction when the value of P20 is bigger. So the value of
P20 should be smaller as possible to improve the efficiency according to loading
75
characteristics.
4.6.1.17 P21—initial feedrate
P21 defines the initial speed of G01, G02, G03 and other feed codes in “Auto” mode. Unit: mm/min.

Programming
1. Overview
The automatic machining of CNC machine is the course of edited part programs automatic running.
The programming is defined that the drawing and the technology of machining workpiece are
described with CNC language and are edited to the part programs.
Here describes the definition of code and the programming mode of CNC part programs. Please read
carefully these contents before programming.
1.1 Coordinate axis and its direction
This system has defined the controlled axis and its motion according to JB/T3051-1999 CNC
System Machine Coordinate and Motion Naming. The two coordinate axes are named with X
and Z, which are perpendicular each other to form X—Z plane rectangular coordinate system as Fig.
1.
Ｏ
Ｚ
Fig. 1 X—Z plane rectangular coordinate system
X axis：It is defined to be perpendicular with the rotary centerline of spindle. The positive direction
of X axis is the one that the tool leaves from the rotary center of spindle.
Z axis：It is defined to be coincident with the rotary centerline of spindle and the positive direction
of Z axis is the one that the tool leaves from the headstock.
91
1.2 Machine zero
The reference point is a fixed point on the machine. Generally, it is set at the position of max. stroke
in X and Z direction, the machine zero signal and the stopper are installed here. If the system is not
equipped with the machine zero signal and the stopper, please do not use this function, or set ＭＺＲ
Ｏ of P12 to 0.
1.3 Programming coordinate
The absolute coordinates (X, Z word), the incremental coordinates(relative coordinates) (U, W word)
or the compound coordinates (X/W, U/Z word) can be applied to the programming in the system.
The system adopts the diameter programming in X direction (the dimension and the parameter in X
direction are described in diameter).
1.3.1 Absolute coordinate value
The absolute coordinate value is the distance to the coordinate origin, i.e. it is the coordinate value of
the tool moving to the end point as Fig. 2:
Fig. 2 Absolute coordinate value
1.3.2 Incremental coordinate value
The incremental coordinate value is the distance from the previous position to the next one,
i.e. the actual moving distance of tool as Fig. 3:
92
Fig. 3 Incremental coordinate value
The codes of tool traversing from A to B with the incremental coordinate are as follows: Ｕ－
３０Ｗ－４０ (use the diameter programming in X direction).
1.3.3 Compound coordinate value
The incremental coordinates and the absolute coordinates can be applied at the same time, but one
coordinate axis in one block can only be defined by one method, i.e. X ,W or U ,Z can be applied, but
the X ,U or Z ,W cannot be applied. For example, traverse the tool from A point to B point as Fig. 3,
X axis is applied with the absolute coordinates and Z axis with the incremental coordinates as: X ５
0 W—４ 0.
1.4 Workpiece coordinate system
The workpiece coordinate system is defined that some point on the workpiece is considered as the
coordinate origin to create the coordinate system. Its axes are separately parallel with X, Z axis in the
same direction.
After the workpiece coordinates is created, all absolute coordinate values in programming are the
position values in the workpiece coordinate system. Generally, Z axis of the workpiece coordinate
system is set on the rotating centerline of workpiece.
According to the actual condition in programming, define the workpiece coordinate zero, i.e. the
programming home in the workpiece drawing and the coordinate origin of CNC system code. The
workpiece coordinate system is created by setting a workpiece coordinate.
93
1.5 Reference point
The reference point set by the operator is at a safe and convenient position. Any position can be set to
the reference point but it is generally set at the safe position.
Once the reference point is defined, the tool can return to the reference point by executing the
reference point return function in “Jog” or “Auto” mode. Even if the system is switched off, the
reference point still exists. If the stepper motor is employed, there is slight error caused by the motor
vibrating after the system is switched on again. Execute the reference point return again to avoid the
error.
The reference point is automatically set to X=150, Z=150 without setting the reference point after the
system is switched on firstly.
2. Program structure
CNC code set edited according to the requirement of machine moving is named as program.
According to the sequence of code, the tool traverses along the straight line and the circular arc, or
the spindle starts/stops, coolant is ON/OFF. The sequence of code is edited according to the
technology requirement of workpiece.

are in the same block. So ensure the tool change code and G00 are in the same block as
possible when executing the tool change and the compensation.
G00 can define separately X or Z axis.
The traverse rate in G00 is set by P05/06 and controlled by the rapid traverse override. Actual
rapid traverse rate in Z direction= P05 ×rapid traverse override Actual
rapid traverse rate in X direction= P06 ×rapid traverse override
The actual max. speed of machine is defined by its actual condition and matched motor. For particular
parameters, please see the manual from machine manufacture. `
G00 is the modal code and can be omitted in the next same block. G00

R Radius of arc Distance from any point on the arc to the circle
center
F Feedrate Feedrate along the arc
The tool can traverse along the specified arc path at the defined feedrate by G02, G03. G02 is for the
clockwise arc and G03 is for the counterclockwise. The arc direction is defined by considering the
circle center as the reference point: G02: clockwise arc; G03:
counterclockwise.
See Fig. 6：
Fig. 6a G2/G03 Z negative direction Fig. 6b G02/G03 Z positive direction
X, Z or U, W defines the end point of arc. It can be described with the absolute or the incremental
coordinates. The incremental coordinate is the distance from the starting point to the end point of arc.
I, K define the center coordinates: I, K separately correspond to the coordinates in X and Z direction,
and are the vector of starting point as the origin pointing to the circle center. It is the component in X
direction (with diameter) and K is the vector in Z direction. The direction of I,

I value is the diameter. Generally, the counted value of drawing is the radius which must be multiplied
2 in programming. Use R to program without I, K.
The feedrate of clockwise interpolation from A to B is 100 ｍｍ／ｍｉｎ as Fig. 8:
