INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
This instruction manual explains proper handling of the IGF to help you to maximize the potential and the
lifetime of the advanced functions of the model. The user is recommended to read the instruction manual
carefully and handle the model accordingly.

LE32126R0400200010001

The instruction manual consists of the three volumes: the tutorials to learn the effective use and operations of
the major functions of the IGF through exercises, the references that detail useful functions and error
messages of the IGF, and the operation manual (this volume), which details the operations of the IGF
functions.
Make a good use of the instruction manual to take full advantage of the IGF.

SECTION 1 OPERATIONS

1. Preparing for Operations

1-1. Setting Parameters

The following parameter setting is required for IGF operations.
INTEGER PARAMETER No.50 ADVANCE MACHINING “YES (TO TOP)” or “YES (KEEP)”
NO : Advance Machining is not performed.
YES (TO TOP) : Advance Machining can be performed.
The cursor is returned to the top of the process sheet after the operation, or by
the reset during the operation.
YES (KEEP) : Advance Machining can be performed.
The cursor is moved to the next row in the process sheet at the operation end.
The cursor position is kept by the reset during the operation.

LE32126R0400300010001

After the above parameter is set, the function key F7 turns to “ADVANCED MACHINING”.
“PROGRAM CREATE” appears on the F7 in the second row.

2. IGF Operations
This subsection explains the actual operations, which are based on the processes created with IGF.

CAUTION
Cautions for machining
To perform the actual machining with the created machining program, set the origin and tool offset
setting in the NC setting screen first. Then, perform the actual machining while checking the
following items.
• Whether or not there is tool interference regarding escape/approach operations
• Tool rotation position
• Operation check by machining tests
• On-stream inspection

Refer to the “SECTION 5: Cautions for Machining in the IGF Basic/Tutorial” for the details.

Procedure :

1 Press [F7] (ADVANCED MACHINING).

2 Press the AUTO mode key to switch to the automatic operation mode.

3 Press the “One-Touch Advanced” key among vertical function keys to display the window in the
foreground.

4 Press [F1] (PREPARE START).

Operations are enabled for the processes displayed in yellow cells.
To change the processes to operate, refer to “3-1 Selecting the Operation Method”

5 Press the start button.

The process in operation is highlighted with green.

LE32126R0400300020001

* The following warning may appear on start-up depending on the status of the machine.
“4308 ALARM-D Command is executed other than X-limit”
Refer to “Alarm Error List” for the details of the alarm messages.
* PREPARE START is released at the operation end except when all processes are
normally operated. PREPARE START is required when starting the next process.

3. Other Functions in IGF Operations

3-1. Selecting the Operation Method

You can select processes to operate from all the processes created with IGF. The current operation
method appears after “PROCESS SHEET” on the title bar.

LE32126R0400300030001

You can select the following operation methods.

SINGLE PROCESS: Only the selected process unit will be executed.

LE32126R0400300030002

EACH TOOL: The selected process unit and the following units will be executed consecutively so
long as the same tool is used for them.

LE32126R0400300030003

CONTINUOUS: The selected process unit and all the following units will be executed consecutively.

SECTION 1 OPERATIONS

Procedure :

1 Press [F2] (EXECUTION MODE).

2 Select the operation method from either [F1] (SINGLE PROCESS), [F2] (EACH TOOL), or [F3]
(CONTINUOUS).

3-2. Load Monitor

You can press [F3] (LOAD MONITOR) to display the load monitor window to monitor the load.

SECTION 1 OPERATIONS

3-3. Override Learning Function

If you press [F4] (OVERRIDE LEARNING), the “OR” field in the row where the cursor is on the
process sheet will reflect the override values (feed rate/spindle/M-spindle) set on the operation
panel. The “OR” field of the highlighted row reflects these values if the process is in operation.

• If you save the file with [F8] (QUIT/SAVE) after pressing [F1] (PREPARE START) or [F6] (BACK
TO PROGRAMMIN), the feed rate and revolutions will reflect the value set in the “OR” field, and
“100” will be set to the “OR” field.

• If you press the key while IGF is preparing for operations, the preparation is automatically
canceled.

• If you press the key during operation, the operation stops and the preparation for operations is
automatically canceled.

[Supplement]

If the spindle or M-spindle has multiple gears, the gear commands may be modified by the override
learning function. In this case, note that the spindle speed is also changed by the override learning
function.

<Example> Gear 1: up to 1100 min-1, gear 2: up to 6000 min-1,
