3.3.1 Chamfering to desired angle and cornering C

Chamfering to the desired angle or rounding can be performed between interpolation commands.

(1) The corner chamfering command block and subsequent block must contain the
interpolation command (G01-G03).
When the subsequent block does not contain an interpolation or movement command, an
alarm will occur.
(2) The inserted block belongs to the corner chamfering command block. Thus, if the feed rate
differs from the corner chamfering command block and the subsequent block , the inserted
 block moves at the feed rate of the corner
chamfering command block. Further, the program does not stop before the inserted block
occurs even during single block operation. (It stops after th e inserted block occurs.)
(3) Tool diameter offset applies to the configuration after corner chamfering is performed.
(4) When the chamfering amount is longer than the chamfering command block and feeding
quantity of the subsequent block, set extended point from each blocks as "chamfer start
 point" and "chamfer end point".

The end point of the circular arc takes either the absolute value or the incremental
value according to G90 or G91. The incremental value commands the distance from the circular
arc start point to the end point.
The circular arc center is commanded by both I,J and K according to X,Y and Z axes. I,J and K
form a vector component when viewed from the circular arc start point to the center.
It is commanded by the incremental value regardless of G90 or G91.

Instead of commanding I, J and K to specify the center of arc, the radius of arc can be used.
There are two types of circular arcs (one is less th an 180° and the other is more than 180°).
When commanding a circular arc of more than 180°, put the algebraic mark "-" before the value
for the radius.

(Note 2) The circular arc, when its radius is zero, cannot be commanded.
(Note 3) When both X,Y and Z are omitted, the end point and the start point are
regarded identical, and:
i) 360°arc (full circle) is assumed to be commanded when the arc center
is programmed using the address I,J and K.
ii) When the address R is used, an alarm occurred.
(Note 4) The address R and "I, J and K" cannot be commanded simultaneously.
(Note 5) When the end point is not on the arc specified by start point and arc
radius, the tool moves as shown below.

(Note 6) If the ending radius is extremely larger than that of the starting radius,
an alarm will occur.
(Note 7) The G36~G39 codes cannot be commanded in the circular arc mode.
(Note 8) If the tool radius compensation is applied to small circular
interpolation, the positional relation between start point and end point
of an arc may be reversed depending on the offset value or adjacent
commands, causing an arc to be a full circle. Check the tool path
beforehand in the dry run mode or using the drawing function.

Precautions for use of scaling function:

(Note 1) When scaling is invalid
Tool offset set for [Tool dia offset] and [Tool length offset] is not
subject to scaling.
Additional axes are not subject to scaling.
An alarm will occur when coordinate transformation (rotational
transformation, scaling, programmable mirror image) is performed
while the additional axis is selected by the plane selection command
(G17, 18, 19).
Scaling is not performed for travel amounts generated through manual
intervention.
The following are not subject to scaling in a canned cycle:
infeed amount "Q" and relief amount "d" of deep hole cycle (G83, G73,
3 G173, G183) XY-axes shift "Q" of fine balling (G76) and back balling
(G87).
However, an alarm will occur when the canned cycle is performed
while the Z-axis is set for scaling.
(Note 2) Traveling axes when performing scaling or programmable mirror image
When using the scaling or programmable mirror image function, the
axis not specified travels according to the specified axis or
coordinates.
As a result, the following may occur:
1. The machine is not operable because the lock signal check is input
for an axis not specified.
2. The Z-axis travels because the dry run offset is automatically
applied.
3. An alarm occurs because the specified axis cannot be used.
(Note 3) Cases when an alarm will occur
An alarm will occur when any reference position return related
command
(G28 to G30) is used during scaling.
An alarm will occur when any coordinate change command
(G10L2/20/98/99, G22 to G23, G52 to G59, G92, G92.1) (external
workpiece zero offset) is used during scaling.
An alarm will occur when single direction positioning (G60) set during
scaling.
An alarm will occur when any automatic workpiece measurement
command (G120 to G129) is used during scaling.
An alarm will occur when any of the following is performed during
scaling:
Tool change, XZ or YZ circular arc (G102/103, 202/203), circular cutting
spiral interpolation or conical interpolation
An alarm will occur when a canned cycle is performed while the Z-axis
is set for scaling.
An alarm will occur when command the dry run before start circuit
command that the amount of XY axes travel becomes 0 as during G17
modal by scaling.
An alarm will occur when the corner C or R command is used during
scaling.
An alarm will occur when scaling is specified in MDI operation.
(Note 4) Scaling is cancelled when M02 or M30 is used or operation is reset.

Program example of mirror image using scaling function

When a negative number is specified for the scaling factor, programmable mirror image is applied.
When a negative value is specified for the scaling factor and there is only one scaling axis, CW
and CCW of circular travel will be reversed.

Do not use the first feed rate command for circular interpolation or helical screw cut interpolation
(G02, G03), after commanded by mirror image of scaling,
When use it, positioning error occurred between start point, end point and center point that cause
of distortion in the circular arc.

Mirror image is applied to scaling center coordinates and programmed path while the mirror image
(G51.1) is valid.

Mirror image setting can be applied simultaneously for the 1st to 3rd axes.

Set the mirror image axis. Omit this for axes about which a mirror image is not created.

Set the mirror image axis in workpiece coordinates.

Using G51.1 command is valid while setting a mirror image. It is regarded as an addition of
mirror axes or a change of the mirror axis coordinates.

Set the axis for canceling mirror image to cancel mirror image. Set the coordinates using
numerical values.

An alarm will occur when a mirror image is canceled for an axis where mirror image is not set.

Precautions for use of programmable mirror image:

(Note 1) When programmable mirror image is invalid
Tool length offset is not subject to mirror image setting compensation.
The spindle rotation direction does not change during mirror image
setting.
The thread cutting direction does not change during mirror image
setting.
Manual intervention allows the axis travel while ignoring the mirror
image setting.
However, when there is a manual interruption during mirror processing,
the axis travels according to the path (tool path) after mirror
processing.

(Note 2) Traveling axes when performing scaling or programmable mirror image

When using the scaling or programmable mirror image function, the
3
axis not specified travels according to the specified axis or
coordinates. As a result, the following may occur:
1. The machine is not operable because the lock signal check is input
for an axis not specified.
2. The Z-axis travels because the dry run offset is automatically
applied.
3. An alarm occurs because the specified axis cannot be used.

(Note 3) Cases when an alarm will occur

An alarm will occur when mirror image (G50.1 or G51.1) is used during
scaling or rotational transformation.
An alarm will occur when coordinate transformation (rotational
transformation, scaling, programmable mirror image) is performed
while the additional axis is selected by the plane selection function
(G17, 18, 19).
An alarm will occur when any reference position return related
command (G28 to G30) is used during mirror image setting.
An alarm will occur when any coordinate change command
(G10L2/20/98/99, G22 to G23, G52 to G59, G92 external workpiece zero
offset) is used during mirror image setting.
An alarm will occur when single direction positioning (G60) set during
scaling.
An alarm will occur when any automatic workpiece measurement
command (G120 to G129, etc.) is used during mirror image setting.
An alarm will occur when skip function (G31, 131, 132) set during
mirror image setting.
An alarm will occur when any of the following is performed during
mirror image setting:
Tool change, XY or YZ circular arc (G102/103, 202/203), circular cutting
spiral interpolation or conical interpolation.
An alarm will occur when a canned cycle is performed while the Z-axis
is set for mirror image.
An alarm will occur when mirror image is specified in MDI operation.

(Note 4) Mirror image is cancelled when M02 or M30 is used or operation is

reset.
(Note 5) Do not use the first feed rate command for circular interpolation or
helical screw cut interpolation (G02, G03).
When use it, positioning error occurred between start point, end point
and center point that cause of distortion in the circular arc.

Coordinates are calculated according to the following sequence: mirror,

scaling, and then rotational transformation. Accordingly, set these in
this order in a program. Set these in the reverse order to cancel
previous settings. An alarm will occur when the specified sequence is

1) Single direction positioning is not performed for the Z-axis during a canned cycle, or the
XY-axes when they are moving for the preset amount of shift in the G76 and G87 cycles.
2) Single direction positioning is not performed for any axis that does not have the travel
amount set for the parameter.
3) Single direction positioning is performed even when 0 is specified for the travel amount.

Chapter 4 Preparation function (Tool offset function) 31B/32BN/S2Cz/S2D/R2B

4.1 Tool dia offset (G40, G41, G42)

4.1.1 Tool dia offset function
Programming is done according to the actual workpiece form, but this function enables the tool to
move along the path with an offset from actual workpiece form, which is equivalent to the used
tool radius.

G41
Command format Dn;
G42

G codes and D code used for tool dia offset

G40 : Tool dia offset cancel (Effective at power ON)
G41 : Left offset along tool path
G42 : Right offset along tool path
4 Tool dia offset mode is effective when either G41 or G42 is commanded.
This mode is canceled by G40.

eNCPR4.01.ai
Dn : Tool offset number (n=0~99)
The offset value of D0 is always zero.
The offset value is set on the tool data setting screen.

(Note) When a command without X and Y axis travel of more than three blocks
or a command with a travel value of zero (0) is given in tool dia offset mode,
excessive cutting or insufficient cutting may occur, respectively.

4.1.1.1 Wear offset of tool diameter

When G41and G42 are commanded in the program, the wear offset value of tool d iameter
corresponding to the commanded tool number is added to the tool diameter offset value.
The wear offset value of tool diameter is set on the tool list screen.
Offset value of tool diameter = Tool dia offset value + Wear offset value of tool diameter

(Note) Refer to “Operation Manual” for the tool list screen.

4.1.4.4 Exceptional case

There is no cross point at inside cutting.

 Alarmed stop

As above figure shows, the cross point of the arcs is present if the offset value is small, but it may
 be disappear if the offset value becomes large.
In this case, alarm occurs in the preceding block, and the machine stops.

4.1.5 Offset cancel

When the command satisfying all the conditions as shown below is executed in the offset mode,
the offset cancel mode becomes effective.
The tool motion in this status is called an offset cancel.

a) G40 is commanded.

Command format G40 ;

 b) The movement other than circular arc is commanded.

(Note 1) When a movement of circular arc is commanded, an error occurs.

(8) Tool movement in case of tool dia offset value zero

a) Start-up
When G41 or G42 is commanded in the cancel mode, the offset mode becomes
effective but the start-up motion is not available as the offset value is zero.
When another offset number is specified and the offset value is not zero, the motion becomes
thesame as the case of changing the tool dia offset value as described in (2).

N1 X_Y_D1; (D1=0)
N2 X_;
N3 Y_D2; (D2≠0)
N4 X_Y_;

 b) During offset mode

If the offset value is changed to zero in the offset mode, the cancel mode is not available any
longer. The motion becomes the same as the case of changing the tool dia offset value as described
in (2).
Even if the offset number is changed again and the offset value is not zero, the motion becomes
the same as the case of changing the tool dia offset value as described in (2).

N1 X_Y_;
N2 X_D1; (D1=0)
N3 X_Y_;
N4 X_Y_D2 (D2≠0)
N5 X_;

(9) Exceptional case or alarm-generating command

1.Command to produce the vertical vector
G10 : Programmable data input
G52 : Local coordinate system
G92 : Coordinate system setting
#3000: Alarm display
#3006: Message display & stop

When the above command is given, the tool moves to the point which is offset as much as the tool
dia as specified by the last X/Y movement command.

2.Forcible tool dia offset cancel

M06 : Tool change
G100 : Non-stop ATC
When the above command is given, G40 (tool dia offset cancel) becomes automatically effective
and the tool moves to the point which is offset as much as the tool dia as specified by the last X/Y
movement command.

3.Alarm-generating command
G17 ~ G19 : Plane selection
G28 : Return to reference point
G29 : Return from reference point
G30 : Return to 2nd ~ 6th reference point
G36 ~ G39 : Coordinate calculation
G60 : Single direction positioning
G66 : Macro
G73 ~ G89, G173 ~ G189 : Canned cycle
G120 : Positioning to the measuring point
G121 ~ G128 : Automatic measurement
G31, G131, G132 : Measurement feed
G133, G134 : Changeover of tap twisting direction
M410, M411 : Index of the pallet
G2, G3 : Circular arc with radius of start point or end point is 0.

(10) Input command in MDI operation

When inputting the tool dia offset command (G40, G41, G42) in the MDI operation, an alarm is
generated.

(11) Manual intervention

When moving the tool by manual operation in the offset mode and starting the memory operation
again, the corrected offset path starts from two blocks ahead.

04L68.ai
When moving the tool by manual operation after it stopped at the block end point P2, the tool
movs from P2' to P3, then follows the corrected offset path after P3.

31B/32BN/S2Cz/S2D/R2B Chapter 4 Preparation function (Tool offset function)

(12) Command after tool dia offset is canceled

An error will occur when G17 ~ G19 (Plane selection) are used while G40 is commanded
independently and offset value is still left. Before using the move command, cancel the offset
value by commanding move command into the block that includes G40 command or the block
after G40 is commanded.

4.1.11 Override function related to tool dia offset

4.1.11.1 Automatic corner override
When the blocks before and after the inner corner satisfy the following conditions,
an automatic override is applied to reduce the load on the tool.
1. Movement is commanded G01, G02 or G03. (Volute/without circular cone interpolation)
2. The offset mode is selected and the offset value is not zero.
3. The corner is inside and its angle is less than the AUTO.CORNER OVER RIDE ANGLE
set by the parameter 1.
4. The block does not contain G41, G42 and G40.
5. There is no change in the offset direction. 4
The parameter 1 has the following setting values.
1)AUTO.CORNER OVERRIDE LEN1

5.3.6 Repeat number of canned cyc le

When drilling at an equal interval is repeated in the same canned cycle, use th e address K and
specify the repeat number.

The command range of K is 0 - 9999.

K is effective only in th e specified block.
If K is not specified, the value of K is regarded 1.
When K0 is specified, drilling is not executed. Then the specified drilling data are memorized and
the X and Y command are given, these axes move accordingly.

The programming of "X_Y_" commands the initial drilling position in incremental mode (G91).
If the absolute command (G90) is given, drilling is repeated at the same position.

5.4.19 Notes on canned cyc le

(1) When commanding the canned cycle (G73, G81 to G83, G85, G89, G181 to G182, G185,
G189) which does not control the spindle rotation, the spindle should be rotated in advance by the
M code.

(2) When the M code is commanded in the same block as the canned cycle, the M code is executed
at the same time as the initial X/Y positioning or after that.
When the repetition is specified by K code, the M code is executed only at the first time and not
executed any longer.

(3) When M00 or M01 is commanded in the same block as the canned cycle, the spindle and
coolant stop after the X/Y positioning and automatic resetting is not available.
If resetting is necessary, command it in the manual operation mode or the MDI operation mode.

(4) When G00 to G03 are commanded in the same block as that of the canned cycle, the motion
will be as below.

G00 G81 X_ Y_ Z_ R_ P_ F_ ;
In this case, the modal for G00 is updated and the canned cycle by G81 is executed.

5 G81 G00 X_ Y_ Z_ R_ P_ F_ ;
In this case, X, Y, and Z axes move in accordance with G00 and the canned cycle is not executed.

(5) M200, M201, and M120 cannot be commanded in the same block as that of the canned cycle.

7.1 What is a Macro?

A “macro” has five main functions: variable function, calculation function, control function
(condition branch), call function (performs the same operation repeatedly) and external output
function. Using these macro functions
functions allows you to create
create original canned
canned cycles or more
flexible programs.
Details of these functions are explained in the following sections:
7.2 Variable function
7.3 Calculation function
7.4 Control function
7.5 Call function
7.6 External output function
Examples of how these functions are combined are shown below in example 1, and on the
following page in example 2 and example 3.
The program creation procedure will be explained in the subsequent sections.

e.g.1 Tool breakage detection is performed

7.2 Variable Function

7.2.1 Outline of variable function
For normal programs, commands are given by directly designating a numerical value
(e.g. G90, X200). Using the macro’s variable function allows you to use the value
stored in the variable for G and X commands.
The value stored in the variable can be changed in PROGRAM
PROGRAM mode or in MDI mode.

7.2.2 Expression of variable

The variable number is designated after “#”.
[Example 1] #100
Using brackets [ ] when designating the variable number allows you to use the value stored in the
variable or to use a formula.

[Example 2] #100 = #[100+10]

This formula specifies that the value stored in variable #110 is
written to #100.

[Example 3] When #1 = 9, #9 = 20, and #20 = 30,

#5 = # [# [#1]] is equal to #5 = 30.
 Chapter 7 Macro TC-32BQT/32BFT/22B/S2C/31B/
TC-32BQT/32BFT/ 22B/S2C/31B/32BN/S2Cz/
32BN/S2Cz/S2D/R2B
S2D/R2B

[Example 4] #3=#2+10;
G01X#3Y10;
This formula specifies the X coordinate as the value stored in
variable 2 with 10 added to it.
(If #2 is 40, X#3 is 50.)
When a variable is used as address data as shown in example 4, however, the values
 below the significant digits used
used as address data are
are rounded off.
 Note that an alarm will occur if the value rounded off
off to the nearest significant
significant digit
exceeds the maximum address command value.
[Example] Assume that the G00X#1; command is used used for
for a machine with a
significant digit setting of 1/1000.
When #1 is 12.345678, the command format will be G00X12.346.
Variable cannot be quoted in address N.

[Example 5] N#20 cannot be used.

used.

[Example 6] G00X[#1+#2];
When designating the address data by a formula, put the square brackets before and
after the formula.

7.2.3 Undefined variable

When the value of the variable is not defined, it is called a “NULL” variable.
#0 is always a “NULL” variable. This can be read bu t cannot be written.

e.g.1 When #1 is <Blank>.

G01X#1Y100.
