PROGRAMMING

INTRODUCTION
This workbook provides basic programming principles necessary to begin programming the HAAS C.N.C. Lathe. In a CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) machine, the tool is controlled by a computer and is programmed with a machine code system that enables it to be operated with minimal supervision and with a great deal of repeatability. The same principles used in operating a manual machine are used in programming a CNC machine. The main difference is that instead of cranking handles to position a slide to a certain point, the dimension is stored in the memory of the machine control once. The control will then move the machine to these positions each time the program is run. In order to operate and program a CNC controlled machine, a basic understanding of machining practices and a working knowledge of math is necessary. It is also important to become familiar with the control console and the placement of the keys, switches, displays, etc., that are pertinent to the operation of the machine. This Haas lathe workbook can be used for both operators and programmers. It is meant as a supplementary teaching aid for the user of HAAS Lathes. The information in this workbook may apply in whole or in part to the programming of other CNC machines. It is intended to give a basic understanding of CNC programming and its applications. It is not intended as an in-depth study of all ranges of the machine use, but as an overview of common and potential situations facing CNC programmers. Much more training and information is necessary before attempting to program on the machine. For a complete explanation and an in-depth description, refer to the Programming and Operation Manual that is supplied with your HAAS lathe.

PROGRAMMING

THE COORDINATE SYSTEM

The first diagram that were concerned with are called a NUMBER LINES. This number line has a reference zero point that is called ABSOLUTE ZERO and may be placed at any point along the number line. The number line also has numbered increments on either side of absolute zero. Moving away from zero to the right are positive increments. Moving away from zero to the left are negative -" increments. The +, or positive increments, are understood, therefore no sign is needed. The "-" sign is always needed if it's a negative value. We use positive and negative along with the increments value to indicate its relationship to zero on the line. In the case of the previous line, if we choose to move to the third increment on the minus (-) side of zero, we would call for -3. If we choose the second increment in the plus range, we would call for 2. Our concern is with distance and direction from zero. Remember that zero may be placed at any point along the line, and that once placed, one side of zero has negative increments and the other side has positive increments. The next illustration shows the two directions of travel on a lathe. To carry the number line idea a little further, imagine such a line placed along each axis of the machine. Haas Lathe X and Z axis lines The first number line is easy to conceive as belonging to the left-to-right, or Z, axis of the machine. If we place a similar number line along the front-to-back, or X axis, the increments toward the operator are the negative increments, and the increments away from the operator are the positive increments. The increments on a number line on the HAAS lathe equals .0001 inches. While a line theoretically has infinite length in either direction, the two lines placed along the X and Z axes of the machine do not have unlimited accessibility. That is to say, we are limited by the range of travel on the machine. For the HAAS SL-20 for example, we have access to 8.45 inches in the X axis and 20 inches in the Z axis. Remember, when we are moving the machine, we are concerned with positioning the turret around our workpiece. And our coordinates for positioning the turret are based off a floating zero point or our part origin. Note: The Haas lathe use X dimensions based on the part diameter, not the radius. Thus an X move from 0. to 1.0 (X1.0) will only move the tool up .5 on the X axis.

PROGRAMMING

The zero position may be placed at any point along each of the two number lines, and in fact will probably be different for each setup of the machine. It is noteworthy to mention here that the X-axis is usually set with the machine zero position on the center line of the spindle, while the Z axis zero is usually set at the finished right end surface of the part being machined. This places all X axis cutting in a positive range of travel, whereas the Z axis cutting would be in the negative range of travel. The diagram at left shows a front view of the grid as it would appear on the lathe. This view shows the X and Z axes as the operator faces the lathe. Note that at the intersection of the two lines, a common zero point is established. The four areas to the sides and above and below the lines are called QUADRANTS and make up the basis for what is known as rectangular coordinate programming.

Whenever we set a zero somewhere on the X axis and somewhere on the Z axis, we have automatically caused an intersection of the two lines. This intersection where the two zeros come together will automatically have the four quadrants to its sides, above, and below it. How much of each quadrant that is accessible is determined by where we place the zeros on the travel axes of the lathe. For example, if we set zero exactly in the middle of the Z axis and if we set the X axis zero on the spindle center line, we have created four quadrants. For an SL-20 for example, the upper two quadrants of the Z travel is 10 inches and the X travel is 7.45 inches. The lower two quadrants will have Z travel of 10 inches and X travel of 1 inch. The HAAS lathes have 1 inch of negative travel beyond the center line of the spindle.

MACHINE HOME
The principal of machine home may be seen when doing a reference return of all machine axes at machine startup. A zero return (POWER UP/RESTART) is performed when you power on machine. All axes will then move to the furthest positive locations, to the upper right of machine, until the limit switches are reached. When this condition is satisfied, the only way to move any of the axes is in the negative direction. This is because the machine zero, is set to the furthest positive point to the upper right of the machine, when the machine was sent Home with a POWER UP/RESTART. Machine Home is placed at the edge of each axes travel. In effect, now the positive quadrants cannot be reached, and all the X and Z moves will be found to be in the X-, Zquadrant. It is only by setting a new location with, Tool Geometry and Work Zero Offsets somewhere within the travel of each axis that other quadrants are able to be reached.

PROGRAMMING

X+

XIt would not be convenient to program our parts from the machine zero, so secondary floating zero point is established with offsets. This floating zero is referred to by either, PART ZERO or PART ORIGIN, both having the same meaning. To create the new part zero location, each tool is manually touched off of the part being setup, on the diameter and the length. Then through a series of control key strokes, that distance from machine zero to the part zero is stored for X & Z axes, in tool offsets, and activated later, from the part program, when that tool is used for cutting a part. Centerline of the lathe spindle will always be "X" zero and the "Z zero location will "float" to the face on the part that reflects most of the part length dimensions. Normally the front face is used, because its usually easier to access for touch-off procedure and also easier to program.

ABSOLUTE AND INCREMENTAL POSITIONING

Up to this point, we have defined a system of positioning the tool that is known as absolute programming. In absolute, all coordinate points are given, in X and Z axis, with regard to their relationship to a fixed part zero or an origin point. This is the most common type of positioning. Another type of positioning is called incremental. Incremental positioning is defined using U and W. The "U" character is used to specify incremental motion in the X-axis, and the "W" character is used to specify incremental motion in the Z axis. Both U and W define distance and direction from a point to point location. An incremental coordinate position is entered, using U and W, in terms of its relationship to the previous position, and not from a part zero or part origin point. In other words, after a block of information has been executed, the position that the tool is now at is the new zero point for the next move to be made. The "U" address is used to specify an incremental move along the "X" axis and the "W" address is used to specify an incremental move along the "Z" axis.

PROGRAMMING

JANUARY 2006

An example of the use of the incremental system is shown below. Note that to move from Z-3.375 to Z-.625 on the scale, a positive incremental move of W2.750 was made, even though the move W still places the tool on the minus side of the Z scale. Therefore the move was determined from the start point position, with no regard for the fixed zero reference point. The + and - signs are used in terms of direction from the starting point, and are not defined in regard to the part zero point.

An example of an incremental move. Keep in mind that when positioning in absolute, we are concerned with distance and direction from a fixed part zero reference point, and when positioning in incremental we are concerned with distance and direction from the last point. Absolute mode should be your positioning mode of choice for most applications. There are times when incremental mode can be quite helpful. Repeating motions within a subroutine, for example, is one excellent example. If you have six identical grooves to turn on a Haas lathe, you can save programming effort if you specify the motions incrementally to machine one groove. Then just call up the subroutine again to repeat the commands to do another groove at a new location. There are even times when it is helpful to command one axis move in the absolute mode while another moves in incremental mode. Any turning center using U and W to specify incremental motions in X and Z easily allows this. Say youre experiencing some unwanted taper on a diameter and you want to program a tapering movement to counteract the problem. In the command that turns the diameter that is experiencing unwanted taper, you can specify the Z endpoint in absolute mode from program zero and the X endpoint as an incremental move. Here is an example: N040 G01 U0.002 Z-2.5 F0.005 In this command, the tool will move 0.002 inch, on the diameter, in the X positive direction while the Z axis moves to an endpoint of minus 2.5 inches relative to program zero. Note: The Haas lathe used absolute X dimensions based on the part diameter, not the radius. Thus an X move from 0. to 1.0 (X1.0) will only move the tool up .5 on the X axis. Like X axis absolute moves, incremental U movements are specified for the part diameter, not the radius. Thus a U move from 0. to 1.0 (U1.0) will only move the tool up .5 incrementally on the X axis.

PROGRAMMING WITH CODES

The definition of a part program for any CNC consists of movements of the tool and speed changes to the spindle RPM. It also contains auxiliary command functions such as tool changes, coolant on or off commands, or external M code commands. Tool movements consist of rapid positioning commands, straight line moves or movement along an arc of the tool at a controlled speed. The Haas lathe has two (2) linear axes defined as X axis and Z axis. The X axis moves the tool turret toward and away from the spindle center line, while the Z axis moves the tool turret along the spindle axis. The machine zero position is where the tool is at the upper right corner of the work cell farthest away from the spindle axis. Motion in the X axis will move the turret toward the spindle centerline with negative values and away from spindle center with positive values. Motion in the Z axis will move the tool toward the spindle chuck with negative values and away from the chuck with positive values. A program is written as a set of instructions given in the order they are to be performed. The instructions, if given in English, might look like this: LINE LINE LINE LINE LINE LINE LINE #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 = = = = = = = SELECT CUTTING TOOL. TURN SPINDLE ON AND SELECT THE RPM. RAPID TO THE STARTING POSITION OF THE PART. TURN COOLANT ON. CHOOSE PROPER FEED RATE AND MAKE THE CUT(S). TURN THE SPINDLE AND COOLANT OFF. RETURN TO CLEARANCE POSITION TO SELECT ANOTHER TOOL.

and so on. But our machine control understands only these messages when given in machine code, also referred to as G and M code programming. Before considering the meaning and the use of codes, it is helpful to lay down a few guidelines.

PROGRAMMING

PROGRAM FORMAT
There is no positional requirement for the address codes. They may be placed in any order within the block. Each individual can format their programs many different ways. But, Program format or program style is an important part of CNC machining. There are some program command formats that can be moved around, and some commands need to be a certain way, and there are some standard program rules that are just good to follow. The point is that a programmer needs to have an organized program format thats consistent and efficient so that any CNC machinist in your shop can understand it. Some standard program rules to consider are: Program X and Z in alphabetical order on any block. The machine will read Z or X in any order, but we want to be consistent. If both X and Z are on a command line in a program, they should be listed together and in order. Write X first, and Z second. You can put G and M codes anywhere on a line of code. But, in the beginning when N/C programming was being developed G codes had to be in the beginning of a program line and M codes had to be at the end. And this rule, a lot of people still follow and is a good standard to continue. Some CNC machines allow you to write more the one M code per line of code and some wont. On the HAAS, only one M code may be programmed per block and all M codes are activated or cause an action to occur after everything else on the line has been executed. Program format is a series and sequence of commands that a machine may accept and execute. Program format is the order in which the machine code is listed in a program that consist of command words. Command words begin with a single letter and then numbers for each word. If it has a plus (+) value, no sign is needed. If it has a minus value, it must be entered with a minus (-) sign. If a command word is only a number and not a value, then no sign or decimal point is entered with that command. Program format defines the "language of the machine tool." ... ...

AN EXAMPLE OF THE PROGRAM'S FIRST COUPLE OF LINES:

THE FIRST LINE or block of a program, should be a return to machine zero (using G28 or G51 codes). Any tool change should be after a return to machine zero or a tool change location. Although this is not necessary it is a good safety measure. THE SECOND LINE of code should apply to any appropriate tool selections and tool geometry offsets or tool shifts. THE THIRD LINE may optionally contain a spindle speed maximum for the tool being used. THE FOURTH LINE or block should cancel any constant surface speed mode (G97). And it should specify a constant spindle speed command (S____) along with a spindle ON clockwise command (M03). THE FIFTH LINE should contain a work offset (G54), a preparatory code (G00) for rapid command with an X and Z location for positioning the turret, and turn on the coolant (M08). THE SIXTH LINE may choose to, optionally specify a Constant Surface Speed with (G96) and a surface feet per minute (SFM) defined with a (S____) command . An example of the programs startup lines might look like this:
With Constant Surface Speed

G28 ; T101 (.750 DIA. DRILL); G97 S1600 M03 ; G54 G00 X0. Z1. M08;

All the necessary codes for each operation are listed in the following pages. This tool startup format is a good example and defines a commonly used program style.

WORD : A series of characters defining a single function such as, G codes, M codes, an "X" axis moves, or "F" feedrate. A letter is the first character of a word for each of the different commands. There may be a distance and direction defined for a word in a program. The distance and direction in a word is made up of a value, with a plus (+) or minus (-) sign. A plus (+) value is recognized if no sign is given in a word. 3. BLOCK : Series of words defining a single instruction. An instruction may consist of a single linear motion, a circular motion or canned cycle, plus additional information such as a feedrate or miscellaneous command (M-codes). 4. POSITIVE SIGNS : If the value following an address letter command such as A, B, C, I, J, K, R, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, is positive, the plus sign need not be programmed in. If it has a minus value it must be programmed in with a minus (-) sign. 5. LEADING ZERO'S : If the digits proceeding a number are zero, they need not be programmed in. The HAAS control will automatically enter in the leading zero's. EXAMPLE: G0 for G00 and M1 for M01, Trailing zeros must be programmed: M30 not M3, G70 not G7. 6. MODAL COMMANDS : Codes that are active for more than the line in which they are issued are called MODAL commands. Rapid traverse, feedrate moves, and canned cycles are all examples of modal commands. A NON-MODAL command which once called, are effective only in the calling block, and then immediately forgotten by the control. 7. PREPARATORY FUNCTIONS : "G" codes use the information contained on the line to make the machine tool do specific operations, such as : 1.) Move the tool at rapid traverse. 2.) Move the tool at a feedrate along a straight line. 3.) Move the tool along an arc at a feedrate in a clockwise direction. 4.) Move the tool along an arc at a feedrate in a counterclockwise direction. 5.) Move the tool thru a series of repetitive operations controlled by "fixed cycles" such as, spot drilling, drilling, boring, and tapping. 8. MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS : "M" codes are effective or cause an action to occur at the end of the block, and only one M code is allowed in each block of a program. 9. SEQUENCE NUMBERS : N1 thru N99999 in a program are only used to locate and identify a line or block and its relative position within a CNC program. A program can be with or without SEQUENCE NUMBERS. The only function of SEQUENCE NUMBERS is to locate a certain block or line within a CNC program. The machining cycles G70, G71, G72 and G73 require the use of sequence numbers to call up specified blocks in a program that in it define the part geometry to rough and finish.

SAFE STARTUP LINE???

G18 G20 G40 G54 G80 G97 G99 Do you need a safe startup line to be sure all the commands are canceled before starting a program? Many programs have a G code default line (or the CAD/CAM programming system may output a default line) at the beginning. To be sure machine control is in a safe start condition. Here are the conditions on a Haas control, to help you decide if you need a safe start line at the beginning of a program. G18 Circular Motion ZX Plane Selection - The G18 is the default condition on a Haas lathe, and is the only one available in the X and Z axis to do an arc. If you try an arc in the G17 XY plane, or the G19 YZ plane, the machine would stop and give you an alarm. There is no need to program a G18, it is already active when you power up. G20 Inch / G21 Metric Diiensioning - The G codes G20 and G21 are used to select between inch and metric. On the HAAS control, the G20 (inch) and G21 (mm) codes are used to make sure the inch/metric setting (Setting 9) is set correctly for that program. If youre not switching between inch and metric very much, then why keep putting in these G-codes at the start of every program? If you did have the wrong condition in Setting 9, graphics display will display whatever Setting 9 is set at. Youll easily see the error when running a program in graphics. G54 Work Offset Command - Work offsets on a CNC lathe, are not used like they are on a CNC mill. Many lathe users dont even have values in their work offsets, because all the offsets that are needed on a lathe, for most users, are entered in the Tool Geometery display. The only time someone might use a work offset on a lathe, is to shift all the tools in Z axis the same distance. Example: Lets say you want to move all your tools -.015 in the Z axis, to make the parts that much shorter. Instead of changing all the tool offsets. You could shift all the tools in -0.015 by changing the work offset. Just be sure to take this offset shift out when youre done using it.

(B)

52 0. 0. 0. 54 0. -0.015 0. 55 0. 0. 0. ... Another main reason to use a work offset on a lathe, is when youre touching off your tools on a tool probe. The X axis value is usually always good to the center of the spindle using the value touched off in the X axis on a tool probe along with the value in Setting 59 or 60. The problem is the distance from the edge of the tool probe in the Z axis to the face of the part. So compensate for that difference in the Work Zero Offset, that has in it, the extra distance from the edge of the tool probe to the face of the part, in the Z axis.

PROGRAMMING

Be aware that even if youre not using a work offset command in a program, G54 is still active as a default G code. This is why you see G54 is in the program examples of this book, as a reminder that this work offset is active wether you program it in or not. If youre never using work offsets, you may choose to leave this G54 command out. G40 Cancels Tool Nose Compensation - You may see a G40 in the beginning of every program. And some even put it in at the beginning of every tool, to be sure cutter compensation is off, before they start a program. You should always cancel cutter compensation (G40) when youre done using it. If you forget to cancel cutter compensation on a lathe, and you run a program in graphics, youll get a 349PROG STOP W/O CANCEL CUTTER COMP alarm. To let you know, that you ended a program without canceling cutter compensation. Pressing RESET or POWER OFF will also cancel cutter compensation. Because of these conditions that cancel cutter compensation, you dont need to put a G40 at the beginning of every program. G80 Cancels Canned Cycles - If you forget to cancel a canned cycle with a G80, RESET, G00, G01, M30 and Power Down will also cancel any active canned cycle. G97 Constant Non-Varying Spindle Speed - For safety reasons you should program in a G97 at the beginning and end of every tool cycle, with a spindle speed. G99 Feed Per Revolution - This command changes how the F address is interpreted. The F command indicates inches per spindle revolution when Setting 9 is set to INCH. If Setting 9 is set to METRIC, F indicates millimeters per revolution. G99 and G98 are modal commands. G99 is the default command, and the one youll usually want. In certain situations you may choose G98 for Feed Per Minute, and then switch back to G99. But most customers, will already be in G99 and never switch to G98, so theres usually no need to have it in a safe start line. If a mistake is made, using the wrong feed command, youll easily see it when it happens, when running the program on the machine. Example: If you program a feed of F0.005 to feed per revolution, and you accidentally program in a G98 (Feed Per Minute), then it would take forever to feed .005 a minute. If you programmed F10. for feed per minute (G98), and you were accidentally in Feed Per Revolution (G99), and you had the spindle on, lets say at a low speed of S200. The calculated feedrate for this would be 2000ipm, which is above the machine maximum feed rate. The machine would stop and give you an alarm. There might be good reasons why you want a safe start line at the beginning of every program, and some programers like having it at the beginning of every tool, as a safety precaution. You may have other machines running these same programs that may need safe start up lines. But for many, it may not be necessay. Because of these reasons listed above. Its up to the programer to decide if they want safe start up lines in their programs.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE
A CNC part program consists of one or more blocks of commands. When viewing the program, a block is the same as a line of text. Blocks shown on the CRT are always terminated by the ; symbol which is called an EOB (End Of Block). Blocks are made up of alphabetical address codes which are always an alphabetical character followed by a numeric value. For instance, the specification to move the X-axis would be a number proceeded by the X symbol. Programs must begin and end with a percent (%) sign. After the first percent (%) sign with nothing else on that line, the next line in a program must have a program number beginning with the letter O (not zero) and then the number that defines that program. Those program numbers are used to identify and select a main program to be run, or as a subprogram called up by the main program. The % sign will "not" be seen on the control. But they must be in the program when you load a program into the control. And they will be seen when you download a program from the machine. The % signs are automatically entered in for you, if you enter a program in on the HAAS control. A program may also contain a / symbol. The / symbol, sometimes called a slash, is used to define an optional block. If a block contains this symbol, any information that follows the slash in a program block, will be ignored when the BLOCK DELETE button is selected when running a program. On the following page is a sample program as it would appear on the CRT. The words following the : are not part of the actual program but are put there as further explanation. This program will rough and finish turn and face for a part with two diameters along with drilling and tapping for a 3/8-16 x 1.0 deep threaded hole one end. % O00018 ; (CNC LATHE PROGRAM EXAMPLE) ; N1 (Rough O.D.) ; G28 ; T101 (O.D.

This is done for safety to insure that the proper commands are attained if the operator has to begin, at the start of a tool in the middle of a program, in the event of tool breakage, to rerun a tool, or finish a part after powering up the machine. This is a common programming practice. 19

PREPARATORY FUNCTIONS G CODES

1) G Codes come in groups. Each group of G codes will have a specific group number. 2) A G code from the same group can be replaced by another G code in the same group. By doing this the programmer establishes modes of operation. The universal rule here is that codes from the same group cannot be used more than once on the same line. 3) There are Modal G codes which once established, remain effective until replaced with another G code from the same group. 4) There are Non-Modal G codes (Group 00) which once called, are effective only in the calling block, and are immediately forgotten by the control. The rules above govern the use of the G codes used for programming the Haas Lathe. The concept of grouping codes and the rules that apply will have to be remembered to effectively program the Haas Mill. The following is a list of Haas G codes. If theres a (Setting number) listed next to a G code, that setting will in some way relate to that G code. A single asterisk (*) indicates that its the default G code in a group.

*Defaults ** Options

Each G code is a part of a group of G codes. The Group 0 codes are nonmodal; that is, they specify a function applicable to this block only and do not affect other blocks. The other groups are modal and the specification of one code in the group cancels the previous code applicable from that group. A modal G code applies to all subsequent blocks so those blocks do not need to re-specify the same G code. There is also one case where the Group 01 G codes will cancel the Group 9 (canned cycles) codes. If a canned cycle is active (G81 through G89), the use of G00 or G01 will cancel the canned cycle. 24

MACHINE DEFAULTS
A DEFAULT is an automatic function of the machine tool control. After powering up the machine, the control will recognize the default G code values. The machine will go to the part zero that was entered in for G54 if no other work coordinate code was specified in the actual program, because the machine automatically recognizes the G54 column upon start-up. That is a DEFAULT. The defaults for the Haas mill are indicated by an asterisk ( * ) in the "Preparatory Functions (G Codes)" list of this workbook. The control automatically recognizes these G codes when your HAAS lathe is powered up:

There is no default feedrate (F code) or spindle speed (S code) , but once an F or S code is programmed, it will apply until another feedrate or spindle speed is entered or the machine is turned off.

MACHINE CYCLES FOR THE LATHE

Machining cycles are used to simplify the programming of a part. Machine cycles are used for the most common machining operations, and theyre two types: Theyre machining cycles for turning and grooving and theyre canned cycles for drilling, tapping and boring.

MACHINING CYCLES FOR TURNING & GROOVING

The following is a list of the canned cycles that can be used for turning and grooving for the HAAS lathe controls.

MACHINING CYCLES Finishing Cycle O.D./I.D. Stock Removal Cycle End Face Stock Removal Cycle Irregular Path Stock Removal Cycle End Face Grooving or Z axis turn with a Chip Break Cycle O.D./I.D. Grooving or X axis turn with a Chip Break Cycle Thread Cutting Cycle, Multiple Pass O.D./I.D. Turning Cycle Modal Thread Cutting Cycle Modal End Face Cutting Cycle Modal

A Machine Cycle is used to simplify programming of a part. Machine Cycles are used for the most common repetitive operations such as turning, facing, threading, and grooving. Theyre both modal and non-modal machine cycles. Modal cycles G90, G92 and G94 remain in effect after they are defined. After any subsequent X or Z axis positioning, the canned cycle is executed again. Modal machining cycles remain in effect until canceled by a G80, G00, an End of Program (M30), or RESET. Non-modal G71, G72, G73, G74, G75 and G76 Machine cycles are effective for only the block that contains them, but will be performing a series of machining moves to execute that command block.

CANNED CYCLES FOR DRILLING TAPPING AND BORING

These cycles are used to define and simplify programming for the most common Z-axis repetitive operations such as drilling, tapping, and boring. Once selected, a canned cycle is active until canceled with a G80 code. There are six operations involved in every canned cycle: 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) 6.) Positioning of X and Z axes. Rapid traverse to the reference R-plane. Drilling, boring, or tapping action. Operation at the bottom of the hole. Retraction to the reference R-plane. Rapid traverse to the initial starting point.

These cycles are Modal, which remain in effect after they are defined and are executed in the Z axis for each positioning of X axes in a program. Some of the cycle command values can also be changed after these cycle have been defined. The command values most often changed during a cycle are the R plane value and the Z depth value. These modal cycles will be canceled with the G80, G01 or G00 commands. The X axis moves in these modal machine cycles are performed as a rapid moves. The operation of a canned cycle will vary according to whether incremental (U,W) or absolute (X,Z) is specified. Incremental motion is often useful in a canned cycle. If a loop count (Lnn code number) is defined within the block, the canned cycle will repeat that many times with an incremental U (X axis) move between each cycle. The following is a list of the canned cycles that can be used on the HAAS lathe.

ALPHABETICAL ADDRESS CODES

The following is a list of the Address Codes used in programming the Lathe.

B LINEAR B-AXIS MOTION (Tailstock) (Setting 93, 94, 105, 106, 107, 121, 145)
The B address character is currently reserved for the tailstock. It is used to specify absolute position or motion for the tailstock along the B axis. B axis commands in the negative direction moves the tailstock toward the spindle, and a B axis command in the positive direction moves it away from the spindle.

F FEED RATE (Setting 19, 77)

The F address character is used to select feed rate applied to any interpolating G codes or canned cycles. This command value is in, inches per revolution or mm per revolution. Inches per revolution (G99) is the default. But it can be changed to units/minute with G98. Traditionally, the F code was capable of only 4 fractional position accuracy; but on this control you can specify F to six place accuracy. Code E and F are equivalent.

G PREPARATORY FUNCIONS (G codes)

The G address character is used to specify the type of operation to occur in the block containing the G code. The G is followed by a two or three digit number between 0 and 187. Each G code defined in this control is part of a group of G codes. The Group 0 codes are non-modal; that is, they specify a function applicable to this block only and do not effect other blocks. The other groups are modal and the specification of one code in the group cancels the previous code applicable from that group. A modal G code applies to all subsequent blocks so those blocks do not need to re-specify the same G code. More than one G code can be placed in a block in order to specify all of the setup conditions for an operation.

CIRCULAR INTERPOLATION / CANNED CYCLE DATA

The I address character is used to specify data used for some canned cycles and circular motions. It is either in inches with four fractional positions or mm with three fractional positions.

J CANNED CYCLE DATA

The J address character is used to specify data used for some canned cycles.

K CIRCULAR INTERPOLATION / CANNED CYCLE DATA

The K address character is used to specify data used for some canned cycles and circular motions. It is formatted just like the I data.

L LOOP COUNT TO REPEAT A COMMAND LINE

The L address character is used to specify a repetition count for some canned cycles and auxiliary functions.

PROGRAMMING

M MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS (M Codes)

The M address character is used to specify an M code for a block. These codes are used to control miscellaneous machine functions. Note that only one M code is allowed per block of the CNC program and all M codes are performed at the end of the block.

N LINE/BLOCK NUMBER
The N address character is entirely optional. The only function of a N number is to identify and locate a certain block or line within a program.

O PROGRAM NUMBER (PROGRAM name in parenthesis)

The O address character is used to identify a program. It is followed by a number between 0 and 99999. A program saved in memory always has a Onnnnn identification in the first block. Altering the Onnnnn in the first block causes the program to be renumbered. If you enter a program name (Name) between parenthesis in the first three lines of a program, that program name will also be seen in your list of programs. You can have up to 500 program numbers (200 programs on an older machine) in your List of Programs. You can delete a program number from the LIST PROG display, by cursor selecting the program, and pressing the ERASE PROG key. You can also delete a program in the advanced editor using the menu item DELETE PROGRAM FROM LIST.

P DELAY OF TIME / M97 SEQUENCE NUMBER CALL / M98 PROGRAM NUMBER CALL / LIVE TOOLING SPINDLE SPEED
The P address character is used as a delay of time in seconds for a dwell command, or as a P number to search for a sequence number in a local subroutine call, or as a P number to search for a program number in your list of programs for a subprogram call. P is also defined with Q, and is used in canned cycles G70, G71, G72 and G73 to specify the starting block number of the part geometry defined for machining with these cycles.

Q CANNED CYCLE DATA

The Q address character is used in a G83 canned cycle and is a positive number for the peck amount. Q is also defined with P, in the canned cycles G70, G71, G72 and G73 to specify the ending block number of the part geometry defined for machining with these cycles.

R CIRCULAR INTERPOLATION / CANNED CYCLE DATA (Setting 52)

The R address character is used in canned cycles and circular interpolation. It is usually used to define the reference plane for canned cycles.

S SPINDLE SPEED COMMAND (Setting 20, 144)

The S address character is used to specify the spindle speed. The S command does not turn the spindle on or off; it only sets the desired speed. By default, S specifies RPM. When used with G96, S specifies surface feet peer minute.

T TOOL SELECTION CODE (Setting 42, 87, 97)

The T number address calls a tool and an offset when initiating a tool change. Txxyy is the T command format. The first two digits (xx) specifies the turret position and is used to call up a tool thats between 1 and the number of tool turret positions on the machine. The second two digits (yy) calls up a tool geometry/wear offset that are going to be used for that tool and will be a number between 1-50. The Txxyy code selects the tool and offset number that are going to be used. The T numbers differ slightly depending on if Setting 33, Coordinate System, is set for FANUC or YASNAC . Most people set it asFANUC and is what we ship the Haas machines out as from Haas. When set to FANUC, the xx calls up a tool number (any xx leading zero numbers are ommitted); The yy specifies tool geometry and wear offset that are going to be used for that tool. A T101 would be recognized as tool 1 offset 1; T323 would be recognized as tool 3 offset 23. If you command T300, that would call tool 3 and cancel any active offsets. When you rapid to a location from machine home with no offsets, itll be a minus position value in X and Z axis or, itll be from a part zero origin location, thatll be using a tool geometry Txxyy offset commanmd

U INCREMENTAL X AXIS MOTION

The U address character is used to specify motion for the X-axis. It specifies an incremental position or distance along the X-axis relative to the current machine position. It is defined either in inches with four fractional positions or in mm with three fractional positions.

W INCREMENTAL Z AXIS MOTION

The W address character is used to specify motion for Z-axis. It specifies an incremental position or distance along the Z-axis relative to the current machine position. It is defined either in inches with four fractional positions or in mm with three fractional positions.

X ABSOLUTE X AXIS MOTION (Setting 45)

The X address character is used to specify absolute motion for the X-axis. It specifies a position or distance along the X-axis. It is either in inches with four fractional positions or mm with three fractional positions.

Z ABSOLUTE Z AXIS MOTION (Setting 47)

The Z address character is used to specify absolute motion for the Z-axis. It specifies a position or distance along the Z-axis. It is either in inches with four fractional positions or mm with three fractional positions. Note: For all motion commands, if the decimal point is omitted, the value is in units of .0001 (or .001mm) Note: For all motion commands, if the decimal point is omitted, the value is in units of .0001 (or .001mm)

RAPID POSITION COMMAND

G00 RAPID POSITIONING MOTION * X Absolute X-axis positioning command * Z Absolute Z-axis positioning command * U Incremental X-axis positioning command * W Incremental Z-axis positioning command * B Absolute tailstock command
* indicates optional

This G code is used for rapid traverse of the two axes of the machine from one program point to the next program point. The auxiliary (tailstock) B axis, can also be moved in rapid with a G00. This G code is modal so that all following blocks will be in rapid motion until another group 01 G code is specified. Generally, rapid motion done in both X and Z axes will not be in a straight line from one program location to the next program location. All the axes specified are moved at the maximum speed and will not necessarily complete each axis move at the same time. So you need to be careful of any obstructions to avoid with this type of rapid move. The tool will first move from the current position in a straight line along a 45 degree angle to an intermediate location, until one of these axes has completed its move. Then the machine will move parallel to the X or Z axis to complete the rapid move to the final location. These rapid moves may be in ABSOLUTE or INCREMENTAL coordinate command values which will change how those values are interpreted. The "U" letter address relates to X-axis incremental moves and the "W" letter address relates to Z-axis incremental moves.

To move from point "A" to point "B", the programmed line can be either: G00 G00 G00 G00 X2.2 Z-3.0 U-1.8 W-3.1 X2.2 W-3.1 U-1.8 Z-3.0

G01 LINEAR INTERPOLATION MOTION * X Absolute X-axis motion command * Z Absolute Z-axis motion command * U Incremental X-axis motion command * W Incremental Z-axis motion command * F Feed rate in inches (or mm) per minute
*indicates optional

This G code provides for straight line (linear) motion from point to point. Motion can occur in 1 or 2 axes. Both axes will start and finish motion at the same time to move the tool along a straight line path parallel to an axis or at a slope (angled) line. The speeds of all axes are controlled so that the feedrate specified is achieved along the actual path. The F (Feedrate) command is modal and may be specified in a previous block. These moves may be made in ABSOLUTE or INCREMENTAL coordinate command values which change how those values are interpreted. The "U" letter address relates to X-axis incremental moves, and the "W" letter address relates to Z-axis incremental moves. Only those axes specified are moved in either absolute X Z, or incremental U W commands. When feeding to a location using G01, it should be using a previously defined tool geometry Txxyy offset commanmd. The Txxyy code defines the tool and offset that are being used. This T command differs slightly depending on Setting 33 FANUC or YASNAC coordinate system. Most people set if for FANUC. When set to FANUC, xx is the tool number (any xx leading zero is ommitted); and yy is the tool geometry and wear offset that is being used for that tool.

With what we have learned about G01, we can move the edge of a cutter along the part profile, by a series of Absolute X and Z axis movements, or Incremental U (X axis) and/or incremental W (Z axis) movements. The part can be programmed with both X and Z absolute movements and/or incremental U and W movements. You can define the actual points around part using both incremental and absolute.

G03 will generate counterclockwise circular motion but is otherwise defined the same as G02 clockwise circular motion. Circular interpolation commands are used to move a tool along a circular arc to the commanded end position. Five pieces of information are required for executing a circular interpolation command: Plane selection, arc start position coordinates, rotation direction, arc end position coordinates, and arc center coordinates or arc radius. There are two ways to define a circular interpolation move. The first way is using I and K method, which defines the distance and direction from the start point to the arc center. The R method, is easier to define, and is the actual arc radius value your interpolating. When using I and K, it does not need to be entered in the porgram if either one has a zero value. It will be recognized as zero if its not listed in the G02 or G03 line. R: Using an R is the distance from the starting point to the arc center. With a positive R value, the control will generate a circular path of 180 degrees or less, but to generate a circular path of over 180 degrees, you specify a negative R. When feeding to a location using G02 or G03, it should be using a previously defined tool geometry Txxyy offset commanmd. The Txxyy code defines the tool and offset that are being used.

FORMAT: G02 and G03 ( Circular Interpolation Clockwise/Counterclockwise ) using R (radius) in place of I and K. It is sometimes easier to program the R (radius) word in place of the I and K words. The I and K words are used to define the incremental distance and direction from START POINT to the ARC CENTER. This can also be done by using the R word in place of I and K. NOTE: Any radius being cut using the R word needs a positive (+) value for a radius that is 180 degrees or less, and for a radius that is larger than 180 degrees it needs to have a minus (-) sign with the radius value.

*indicates optional

This G code provides for straight line (linear) motion from point to point that can have a chamfer or radius between 2 blocks of linear motion that intersect at a 90 degree angle. This type of command is programmed with a chamfer or corner rounding move by providing a letter command of I, K, R, or A in the G01 command block. The speeds of all axes are controlled so that the feed rate specified is achieved along the actual path. The F command is modal and may be specified in a previous block. Only the axes specified are moved and the incremental (U, W) or absolute (X, Z) commands will change how those values are interpreted. When specifying an angle with A use only one of the other axes, the corresponding X or Z destination is calculated based on the angle from the start point. Angles are define from 0 to 360 degrees from 3 oclock going counterclockwise. Minus values can be used to reverse this definition clockwise from 3 oclock. Decimal points are needed for degrees.

CAUTION:

This G01 Code using I, K, R, or A, to do an arc or angle is NOT recognized in the roughing passes of the G71 or G72 canned cycles. However, the last pass of the G71/G72 will be executed with the radius or chamfer defined with I, K, R, or A, in the G01 command. Smaller outside corner radius or chamfers could be done on the last pass. But fillet, inside corner radius or chamfers would not be there. What would be there is the radius left behind by the tool nose. The G73 or G70 commands will support this type of chamfer or radius command.

CHAMFER & CORNER ROUNDING WITH G01 EXERCISE

This G code provides for straight line (linear) motion from point to point that can have a chamfer or radius between 2 blocks of linear motion that intersect at a 90 degree angle. This type of command is programmed with a chamfer or corner rounding move by providing a letter command of I, K, R, or A in a G01 command block.

G04 Dwell P The dwell time in seconds or milliseconds G04 is used to cause a delay or dwell in the program. The block containing G04 will delay for the time specified in the P code, coolant and spindle will remain on. If the P has a fraction part, the delay is in milliseconds (0.001 seconds); otherwise the delay is in seconds.

G20 INCH / G21 METRIC SELECTION

The G codes G20 and G21 are used to select between inch and metric. In the HAAS control, the G20 (inch) and G21 (mm) codes can only be used to make sure that the inch/ metric setting is set correctly for that program. Selecting between inch and metric programming can only be done from the Setting page, Setting 9. Changing the setting from inches to metric or back again will interpret the content of any program listed in memory. You must load in a program with metric values after changing this setting to MM.

REFERENCE POINT RETURN COMMANDS

G28 FANUC RETURN TO MACHINE ZERO THROUGH REFERENCE POINT
The G28 code is used to return to the machine zero position on all axes. If an X or Z axis is specified on the same block, only those axes will move and return to the machines zero point. If X or Z specifies a different location than the current position, then the movement to machine zero will be through the specified point. If no X or Z is specified, all axes will be moved directly to machine zero, along with the tailstock, B axis (for the machines that have a tailstock). If you do not want to position through an intermediate point while specifying an X or Z axis to position to machine home, than use an incremental U0 and/or W0 command for the specific axis that you want to send to machine zero. This will command those axis specified to position incrementally to a zero distance as an intermediate point, and then those axes specified will go directly to machine zero. G28 will not recognize any tool length offsets in this move, though the offset is not cleared. The tool offsets will not be cleared until a T0, M30, Reset, or a new offset is called up. The G28 command will send turret in the X and Z axes to machine home along with tailstock. If the tailstock is home not being used, then this is not a problem. If tailstock is being used, and is in holding a part, you may not want to send the tailstock home when a G28 is on a line in a program. To command only the turret to go home, and not the tailstock, program in G28 U0 W0 to send only the X and Z axes home and the tailstock will remain in place.

SPINDLE SPEED COMMANDS

G50 SPINDLE SPEED CLAMP
Spindle speed, on any CNC lathe, is limited by the maximum permissible speed of the power chuck. The effects of centrifugal force on its gripping force, unbalanced condition of the workpiece causing machine vibration, and so on, can be constrained by programming a G50 code at the start of each tool. G50 can be used to clamp the maximum spindle speed. The control will not allow the spindle to exceed the S address value specified in the most recent G50 command. This is most often used in constant surface feed mode G96.

N1 N2

G50 S2500 ; G96 S390 M03 ;

(SPINDLE RPM WILL NOT EXCEED 2500 RPM) (ENTER CONSTANT SURFACE SPEED MODE, SPINDLE ON)

The MAXIMUM spindle speed is designated by the "S" word along with the preparatory G50 command with the "S" word in the same block with no other commands. Once the MAXIMUM spindle speed is established, any direct RPM programmed in G97 (direct revolution per minute) or control calculated RPM from the G96 (constant surface footage mode) that exceeds the RPM established by the G50 block, is ignored and the G50 S word spindle speed is used. The second use of G50 is for older equipment that does not have work zero and geometry offset capabilities. This will not be covered in this workbook because its not desirable anymore because its not as easy to use as what is now available.

G96

CONSTANT SURFACE SPEED ON

A G96 commands the control to maintain a constant surface speed, with the spindle speed and where the tool tip is relative to the part diameter. Surface speed is based on the distance of the tool tip to the spindle centerline. This is the radius of cut. Surface speed is maintained by adjusting the spindle speed based on the radius of cut. The current S code is used to determine the surface speed. G96 is modal. The formula the machine performs while machining up or down a diameter with G96 on a . part is calculating this formula: (SFM x 3.82) . Dia. = RPM . Example on a 3/4 part diameter: (225 x 3.82) . .750 = 1146

G97 CONSTANT SURFACE SPEED OFF / REVOLUTION PER MINUTE ON

A G97 commands the control to not adjust the spindle speed based on the radius of cut. This command will cause the spindle to be at a constant speed. It will cancel any current G96 command. When G97 is actively on, any S command is in revolution per minute (RPM). G97 is modal. The formula to find out what surface speed when machining on a part diameter, when the machine is at a constant spindle speed: Diameter x .2618 x RPM = SFM The surface speed for a 5/8 drill at a 1400 spindle speed is: .625 x .2618 x 1400 = 229.075 48

WORK COORDINATE SELECTION COMMANDS

The HAAS CNC lathe control supports both YASNAC and FANUC coordinate systems. Work coordinates together with tool offsets can be used to position a part program anywhere within the work cell with great flexibility.

NON-MODAL MACHINE COORDINATE SELECTION

This code temporarily cancels work coordinates offset and uses the machine zero coordinate location. Its non-modal, so the next block will revert to the work coordinate that was previously active.

G54-59 WORK COORDINATE OFFSET SYSTEM #1 - #6

These codes select one of the six work coordinate (part zero) offsets that are entered in and stored on the offsets display page . All subsequent references to axes positions will be interpreted with the new coordinate value.

G110-G129 WORK COORDINATE OFFSET SYSTEM #7-26

These codes are the same as work offsets G54 to G59.

G154 P1-99 WORK COORDINATE OFFSET SYSTEM #7-105

This was added in Lathe software version 5.02 and above. This feature has 79 additional work offsets. In all previous versions, the user was limited to a maximum of 27 work offsets. These included the standard work offsets (designated G54 through G59), and twenty additional work offsets (G110 through G129). Now with G154 P1 to P99, your able to activate additional work offsets. For example G154 P10 will select work offset 10 from the list of additional work offset. Note that G110 to G129 refer to the same work offsets as the G154 P1 through P20. I.e., they can be selected by using either method. The Work Offset display screens have been adjusted accordingly. The Position page display has also been enhanced so that when a G154 work offset is active, the heading in the upper right work offset will show the G154 P value.

MANUALLY PROGRAMMING TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION FOR A RADIUS

If you decided to manually calculate tool nose compensation for a radius on your part, It would be a hassle. Our suggestion is, if you want to save time and money, learn how to use TNC, it will help you in programming your part. This section briefly defines what you would need to calculate if you didnt use tool nose compensation.

MANUALLY CALCULATING COMPENSATION FOR A RADIUS ON YOUR PART

When you program a straight line in either X or Z the tool tip touches the part at the same point where you touched your original tool offsets in X and Z. However, when you program a radius, the theoretical tool tip does not touch the part radius. Where the tip actually touches the part is dependent upon the radius of the tool and the point around the radius being cut. If you were to try and program your part without using any compensation and you programmed to the finish radius size of your part, you would see a smaller radius on the outside corners of your part. And you would see larger radiuses on the fillet radiuses of your part. The amount that will be either a smaller corner radius or a larger fillet radius will be the amount that is the radius of the tool that you are machining with.

MANUALLY PROGRAMMING TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION FOR AN ANGLE

If you decided to manually calculate tool nose compensation for an angle on your part, It would be a hassle. Our suggestion is, if you want to save time and money, learn how to use TNC, it will help you in programming your part. This section briefly defines what you would need to calculate if you didnt use tool nose compensation.

MANUALLY CALCULATING COMPENSATION FOR AN ANGLE ON A PART

When you program a straight line in either X or Z axis, the tool tip touches the part at the same point where you touched your original tool offsets in X and Z. However, when you program a chamfer or an angle, the tip does not touch the part at those same points. Where the tip actually touches the part is dependent upon the degree of angle being cut and the size radius on the cutting tool your using. If you were to try and program your part without using any compensation you would see over and undercutting on your part and it could wind up being no good. The following pages contain tables and illustrations on how to manually calculate tool nose compensation of an angle in order to program your part accurately.

TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION

OVERVIEW
Tool nose compensation is a feature that allows the user to adjust the programmed tool path on a lathe, in response to the tool nose radius at the end of a turning tool. The user can do this by entering specific G-code commands to offset and position for the tool nose radius value entered in the TOOL GEOMETRY offset display under RADIUS.

WHEN TO USE TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION

Tool nose compensation is used when the tool nose that youre cutting with has a radius. Tool nose compensation does not need to be used when the programmed cuts are solely along the X axis (diameters) or Z axis (faces). Cutter compensation comes into effect on angled cuts and radius cuts. The program path without cutter compensation is positioning the tool around the part geometry to the theoretical sharp tool nose point. But a perfectly sharp tool nose does not exist. What is there is a radius that is farther back from where the theoretical sharp tool nose tip would be. And so the tool, is taking off less material for what is programmed on the part radiuses and angles, and as a result will have an undersize or oversize condition on radiuses and angles.

A Programmed part line not using cutter compensation showing cutting error

Note: The figure above shows that the programmed path coincides with the final part dimension, and the radiuses and angles are not quite right. Although parts dont have to be programmed using tool nose compensation, its the preferred method because its easier to program a part and problems are easier to detect and resolve.

PROGRAMMING

TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION CONCEPTS

Tool nose compensation accomplishes it's task by reading ahead one or two blocks to determine how it must modify the current programmed block of code. This is done, so that the control can calculate in advance, how to position around radiuses and angles with a specified tool nose radius. This is referred to as BLOCK LOOK-A-HEAD or LOOK-AHEAD PROCESSING. When the control is first powered on or in the reset condition, tool nose compensation is not active. Tool nose compensation is turned on in a program by programming in a G41 or G42 command. When this command is executed, the control will look ahead in the program to determine where the first compensated move will be. The first move, when turning on cutter compensation, is generally a move from a non-compensated position to a compensated position and therefore this move is unusual. This first move is called the APPROACH move and is required when using tool nose compensation. Similarly, a DEPARTURE move is also required. In a departure move, the control will move from a compensated position to a non-compensated position. A departure move occurs when the tool nose compensation is cancelled with a G40 command or T0 command. Although approach and departure moves can be precisely planned, theyre generally uncontrolled moves and the tool therefore, should not usually be in contact during these moves.

IMAGINARY TOOL TIP AND DIRECTION

Tool nose compensation calculates a compensated tool path for a tool that has a radius at the tool tip. This tool tip is known as the TOOL NOSE RADIUS (TNR). For a lathe its not easy to determine where the edge around the tool nose radius is. The cutting edges are set when a tool is touched off with the edge of the radius in the X and Z axes to record the tool geometry offsets. The X and Z axes geometry offsets intersect at a point, called the IMAGINARY TOOL TIP, refer to the figure below, that also shows the tool tip direction. The tool tip direction is determined by a vector originating from the center of the tool radius and extending to the imaginary tool tip. The control can calculate where the center of the tool radius is by using the tool geometery X Z offsets, tool radius offsets, which side of the line the cutter is on left (G41) or right (G42), and the direction tool tip is pointing (1-9).

PROGRAMMING

USING TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION

Tool nose compensation works by programming the TOOL PATH part line and defining what side of the line the cutter is on, right or left. The programmer will usually program the tool path to the current part print finish size. When tool nose compensation is used, the control will compensate for a tool's radius based on special instructions written into the program. Two G-code commands are used for tool nose compensation, G41 and G42. G41 commands the control to compensate for the tool nose radius positioning to the left of the programmed path, and G42 commands the control to compensate for the tool nose radius positioning to the right of the programmed path. The third command, G40, is used to cancel any tool nose compensation made by G41 and G42 .

Tool path and shift direction.

Compensating the tool path on either the left or right is based on the direction of the tool movement relative to the part, and which side of the part its on. When thinking about which side of the part the compensation will occur, imagine yourself standing on the line of the part to be cut, looking in the direction the cutter is traveling, what side of the line will the cutter pass you on, left or right. Programming G41 will compensate for the tool tip on the left and a G42 will compensate for the tool tip on the right. For a lathe, this means that normal O.D. turning, which is machining from the face of the part toward the chuck, will require a G42 cutter right of the program path, while normal I.D. turning will require a G41 cutter left of the program path. Does it sound complicated? Its not if you follow the next seven steps when using tool nose compensation.

59

PROGRAMMING

JANUARY 2006

SEVEN STEPS FOR USING TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION

1. APPROACH MOVES
Program an approach move for each tool path that needs tool nose compensation and determine if G41 or G42 is to be used.

2. DEPARTURE MOVES
Be sure there is a departure move for each compensated tool path by using a G40 command to cancel tool nose compensation.

3. TOOL GEOMETRY OFFSETS AND TOOL WEAR OFFSETS

When setting up the tools for a part program, zero any Tool Geometery, Tool Wear, and Work Zero offsets that remain from an earlier job. Then you must touch off and enter the tool geometry (distance from machine home to part zero) length offsets for each tool being used.

4. TOOL NOSE RADIUS GEOMETRY

Select a standard insert (with a defined radius) that will be used for each tool that is using tool nose compensation. Enter the tool nose radius of each compensated tool in the TOOL GEOMETRY offset display under RADIUS.

5. TOOL TIP DIRECTION

Input the tool tip direction, in the TOOL GEOMETRY offset display under TIP, for each tool that is using tool nose compensation, G41 or G42.

6. TEST RUN COMPENSATION GEOMETRY

Run the program in graphics mode and correct any tool nose compensation geometry problems that may occur. A problem can be detected in two ways: either an alarm will be generated indicating compensation interference, or you will see the incorrect geometry generated and seen in graphics mode.

7. RUN AND INSPECT FIRST PART

Carefully cycle through the program to machine part. After running part, check and adjust wear offsets for the part to bring it within size. Each of the above steps is described in detail in the following sections.

PROGRAMMING

1. APPROACH MOVES
The first X or Z motion in the same line that contains a G41 or G42 is called the APPROACH move. The first move must be a linear move, that is a G01 or G00. At the start of an approach move the current position is not compensated. At the end of the approach move the machine position will be fully compensated.

Approach and Departure moves.

2. DEPARTURE MOVES
Any line that contains a G40 will cancel tool nose compensation and is called the DEPARTURE move. The last move must be a linear move, that is a G01 or G00. At the start of a departure move, the current position is fully compensated. At the end of the departure move the machine position is not compensated.
Note : You cannot activate or cancel cutter compensation in a G02 or G03 circular move,

it must be turned on or off in a linear Feed (G01) or Rapid (G00) straight line move.

G40 cancels G41 or G42. Programming Txx00 or just T0 will also cancel tool nose compensation. You must always cancel tool nose compensation before the end of a program. The G40 departure move, off of the part, usually does not correspond with any point on the part. In many cases overcutting or undercutting could occur if tool is still on the part when you cancel cutter compensation.

PROGRAMMING

NOTE: Some conditions of a cancellation of tool nose compensation geometries will result in over or undercutting of the part. The programmer can control this by including an I and K in the G40 cancellation block. The I and K address codes in a G40 block define a vector that the control will use in determining the compensated target position of the previous block. The vector is usually aligned with an edge or wall of the completed part. The Figure below shows how I and K can correct undesired cutting in a departure move.

Figure showing Use of I and K in a G40 block.

When address codes I and K are used in a G40 departure move, the control will use these values as an intersection vector for the end point of the last completely compensated motion stroke. The illustration below shows where I and K lie in relation to the departure stroke. Usually I and K lie along a face of a machined part.

3. TOOL GEOMETRY AND TOOL WEAR OFFSETS

The tool length geometry offsets, for each tool, that use tool nose compensation are set up in the same manner as tools not using radius compensation. Refer to the "Setup Procedures" section of your operation manual for details on touching off tools and recording tool length geometries. When a part is set up using new tools, the tool wear offsets should be zero. You can zero all wear offsets at once by going to the TOOL WEAR offset display and pressing ORIGIN, then Y to accept zeroing all the offsets in that display (any Lathe control 3.0 and above). Small adjustments to the radius offset during production runs should be placed in the wear offset page. This allows the operator to easily track the wear for a given tool. Most often, a tool will exhibit uneven wear. This occurs when particularly heavy cuts are done on one edge of the tool. In most cases it is desirable to adjust that axis that is affected X or Z in the TOOL WEAR offsets rather than the RADIUS TOOL WEAR offsets. When adjusting the X or Z tool GEOMETRY/WEAR offsets, the operator is compensating for uneven tool nose wear. The tool geometry X or Z TOOL WEAR offsets will shift ALL dimensions for that single axis. If the part dimensions being machined, need the operator to compensate for the tool wear in both axes. The tool is wearing evenly around the radius, and the dimensional changes on the part in the X and Z axes are the same and suggests that the RADIUS wear offsets should be increased. But if the wear is on one axis only, then the length geometry wear should be adjusted. One can determine which wear offset to adjust by checking several X and Z dimensions on a finished part. When replacing a worn tool with a new one, that wear offset row should be cleared by cursoring to each offset item in that row and pressing 0 then F1 to clear that offset.

4. TOOL NOSE RADIUS GEOMETRY AND WEAR OFFSETS

Each turning tool that uses tool nose compensation requires a TOOL NOSE RADIUS. The tool nose radius specifies how much the control is to compensate for a given tool. It is determined by the geometry of the tool tip. If standard inserts are being used for the tool, then the tool nose radius is simply the tool tip radius of the insert. Associated with each tool on the geometry offsets page is a TOOL NOSE RADIUS OFFSET. The column labeled RADIUS is where the tool nose radius of each tool is placed. If the value of any tool nose radius offset is set to zero, no compensation will be generated for that tool. Associated with each radius offset is a RADIUS WEAR OFFSET. It is located on the wear offset page. The control adds the wear offset to the radius offset to obtain an effective radius that will be used for generating compensated values. Small adjustments to the radius offset during production runs should be placed in the wear offset page. This allows the operator to easily track the wear for a given tool. As a tool is used, the insert will generally wear so that there is a larger radius at the end of the tool. This should place positive values in the wear column. When replacing a worn tool with a new one, the wear offset should be cleared to zero. When replacing a worn tool with a new one, that wear offset row should be cleared by cursoring to each wear offset item in that row and pressing 0 and F1 to clear that offset.

5. TOOL TIP DIRECTION

The tool tip direction of each tool is coded as a single integer from 0 to 9. The tip direction code is found next to the radius offset on the geometry offsets page. It is recommended that a tip direction be specified for all tools using tool nose compensation. Figure 14 is a summary of the tip coding scheme along with cutter orientation examples. Note that the tip indicates to the setup person how the programmer intends the tool offset geometry to be measured. For instance, if the setup sheet shows tip direction 8, the programmer intends the tool geometry to be at the edge of and on the centerline of the tool insert. Note: It is important to remember that tool nose compensation values are in tearms of radius rather than diameter. This is important in blocks where tool nose compensation is cancelled. If the incremental distance of a departure move in a compensated path is not twice the radius of the cutting tools radius, overcutting will occur. Always remember that programmed paths are in terms of diameter and allow for twice the tool radius on a departure move.

ADVANTAGES OF CUTTER COMPENSATION

1. The mathematical computations to define a tool path for angles and arcs is greatly simplified.

SOME RESTRICTIONS WITH CUTTER COMPENSATION

1. A cutter compensation command (G41/G42) must be on the same block with an X and/or Z linear move when ramping onto the part. Cutter compensation cancel command (G40) must be on the same block with an X and/or Z linear move when ramping off of the part. You cannot turn on or off cutter compensation in a G02 or G03 circular move, it must be in a linear Feed (G01) or Rapid (G00) straight line move.

2.

3.

WHEN ACTIVATING CUTTER COMPENSATION

1. Define a clearance distance without cutter compensation to a start point in "X" and "Z`" axis double the tool radius off the part before you initiate cutter compensation. Make an X and/or Z axis move with a G41 or G42 call-out on the same line, with a tool tip radius and tip direction entered in the TOOL GEOMETRY offset display register under the RADIUS and TIP column for that tool being used.

2.

WHEN DEACTIVATING CUTTER COMPENSATION

1. 2. Cancel of cutter compensation may be a one or two axis move. Select a clearance point, thats at least double the tool radius off the part in the "X" and/or "Z" axis. "DO NOT" cancel cutter compensation on any line that is still cutting the part.

AN EXAMPLE OF INCORRECTLY TURNING OFF CUTTER COMPENSATION

It is important to remember that tool nose compensation values are in terms of radius rather than diameter. This is important in blocks where tool nose compensation is cancelled. If the incremental distance of a departure move in a compensated path is not twice the radius of the cutting tool nose radius, overcutting may occur. Always remember that programmed paths are in terms of diameter and allow for twice the tool radius on departure moves. The Q block of canned cycles (G71, G72 or G73) that require a PQ sequence can often be a departure move. The following example illustrates how incorrect programming will result in overcutting.

MACHINE CYCLES FOR TURNING AND GROOVING

A machine cycles is used to simplify the programming of a part. machine cycles are defined for the most common machining operations. They can be divided into two types. There are machining cycles for turning and grooving. And there are canned cycles for drilling, tapping and boring. These cycles can be either single block cycles or modal cycles. A modal cycle remains in effect after they are defined and are executed for each positioning of an axes. Once a cycle is defined, that operation is performed at every X-Z position subsequently listed in a block. The machining cycles G70, G71, G72, and G73 cannot be in DNC while running a program, since these G-codes require the control to look ahead. These G-codes, (G71, G72, and G73) do not force feed moves within the PQ block. To prevent rapid motion from occurring when feed moves are intended, a G01 should be defined, when needed, near the beginning of the P block.The feed rate that itll do throughout the cycle is the one listed on the canned cycle line. And the G70 will perform the feed rates that are listed on the lines between the PQ blocks. Canned cycles G70, G71, G72 and G73 should not be executed after a tool nose compensation command (G41 or G42). If tool nose compensation is desired, it should be defined in the P block called up by the canned cycle. The following is a list of the canned cycles that can be used for turning and grooving on HAAS lathe controls.

* Indicates optional ** Rarely defined in a G71 line

This canned cycle will rough out material on a part defining the finished part shape. All a programmer needs to do is to define the shape of a part by programming the finished tool path and then submitting the part path definition to the G71 call by means of a PQ block designation. Any feeds, spindle speed, or tool offset commands on the blocks defining the path are ignored by the G71 call. Any F, S or T commands on the G71 line, or the active ones at that time of the G71 call, are used throughout the G71 roughing cycle. A call to the same PQ block using a G70 will finish the part path with the programmed feeds, speed and offsets that are defined within the PQ block definition. There are two ways to define the part geometry for machining a path using a G71 command. The first type is a TYPE I geometry path and is when the X-axis of the

79

PROGRAMMING

JANUARY 2005

programmed path does not change direction. This type of path is called monotonic. The second type is a TYPE II geometry path and allows the X-axis to change direction. For both types the programmed path for the Z-axis, must be monotonic, that is it cannot change direction in the Z axis. For FANUC, the Type I path is selected by having only an X-axis motion command in the N block thats specified by the P in the G71 command line. For FANUC, the Type II path is selected by having both an X-axis and Z-axis motion command in the N block thats specified by the P in the G71 command line, then TYPE II roughing is recognized. When in the YASNAC mode, Type II roughing is selected by including an R1 on the G71 command line. NOTE: A part using Tool Nose Compensation with a G71 will usually be a Type I path. When using TNC it is very difficult to have a Type II path. This is because for the machines current compensation methods, you can only compensate for a tool tip in one direction. Because of this, the Type II geometry using TNC for a part program may not be accurate. This is because the tip direction would need to change to another tip direction during the cycle. So to be able to use TNC for a Type II part program you may need to modify the program for this TNC situation by editing your program geometry to bring this condition within size. G71 consists of a roughing phase and a finishing phase. The roughing and finishing phase are handled slightly differently for types I and types II. Generally the roughing phase consists of repeated passes along the Z-axis at the specified G71 command line feed rate. The finishing phase consists of a pass along the programmed tool path to remove excess material left by the roughing phase, with perhaps a finishing tool to finish machine using a G70 command block that will use the programmed feeds, speeds and offsets defined within the PQ block definition. The final motion in either type I or Type II is a return to the starting clearance point C. The starting clearance point C is the position of the tool at the time of the G71 is called. This point is usually above the outside diameter or below the inside diameter and in front of that area you want to rough machine away using this G71 cycle .

PROGRAMMING

G71 TYPE I ROUGHING DETAILS

When Type I is specified by the programmer it is assumed that the tool path is monotonic in the X-axis. Prior to any roughing motion the tool path designated by PQ is checked for monotonicity and G code compliance. An alarm is generated if a problem is found. Roughing begins by advancing from the start position S and moving to the first roughing pass. All roughing passes start and end at the Z clearance plane. Each roughing pass Xaxis location is determined by applying the value specified in D to the current X location. The direction that D is applied is determined by the signs of U and W. The nature of the movement along the Z clearance plane for each roughing pass is determined by the G code in block P. If block P contains a G00 code, then movement along the Z clearance plane is a rapid mode. If block P contains a G01 then movement will be at the G71 feed rate. Roughing continues until the X-axis position in block P is exceeded. Each roughing pass is stopped before it intersects the programmed tool path allowing for both roughing and finishing allowances. The tool is then retracted from the material, at a 45 degree angle by the distance specified in setting 73. The tool then moves in rapid mode to the Z-axis clearance plane. When roughing is completed the tool is moved along the tool path to clean up the rough cut. If I and K are specified an additional rough finish cut parallel to the tool path is performed.

The G70 Finishing cycle can be used to finish cut paths that are defined and roughed out with stock removal cycles G71, G72 and G73. The G70 requires that a beginning block number (P code) and an ending block number (Q code) be specified for the machine code that defines the part geometry to be machined. The G70 cycle is usually used after a G71, G72 or G73 has been performed using the blocks specified by P and Q. All codes in the block defined by P and Q are executed. Any F, S or T codes between the P and Q block are effective. The PQ sequence is searched for in the current program starting from the beginning of the program. The current machine position is saved and remembered as the start position. Then the block starting at P is executed. Processing continues in a normal fashion with blocks following P until a block is found and executed that contains an N code that matches the Q code in the G70 calling block. After execution of the Q block, a rapid (G00) is executed returning the machine to the start position that was saved earlier during G70 initialization. The program then returns to the block following the G70 call. EXAMPLE: G70 Finishing Cycle A traditional calling sequence using G70 appears below. Rough cycle feedrate to rough out part between N10 and N80 for the G71 roughing cycle will be F.012 which is defined in the G71 block. Finish feed rate for the G70 finish cycle will be whatever is defined between N10 and N80.

Use cutter compensation in the controls offset display for both tools #1 and #2 and enter a .031 radius and tip direction. NOTE: When starting to define part geometry to position the tool nose radius below the radius or angle on an O.D. of a part, or above the radius or angle of an I.D. of a part. The amount to position above or below should be the radius size of tool tip times two (.0315 x 2=.063 above or below). This needs to be done so that the start of the radius of the tool will start at the beginning of the radius on the part at the beginning sequence number after the G71 to start defining the part geometry.

PROGRAMMING

G71 TYPE II ROUGHING DETAILS

When Type II is specified by the programmer the X axis PQ path is allowed to vary nonmonotonically. In other words, the X axis can change direction throughout the PQ path. Z must still continue along in the same direction as the initial Z direction. The PQ path is checked prior to the start of any cutting and an alarm is generated if a problem exists. When Setting 33 is set to FANUC, Type II is specified by placing a reference to both the X and Z axis in the block specified by P. Roughing is similar to Type I except while roughing, after each pass along the Z axis, the tool will follow the path defined by PQ. The tool will then retract parallel to the X axis by a distance defined in Setting 73 (CAN CYCLE RETRACTION). The Type II roughing method does not leave steps in the part prior to finish cutting and typically results in a better finish. There is virtually no limit to the number of blocks used to define a Type II PQ path. There is a limit to the number of troughs that can be included in a PQ path definition. A trough can be defined as a change in direction which creates a concave surface in the material being cut. If successive troughs are on the same level, there can be an unlimited number of troughs. When troughs are within troughs (nested), there can be no more than 10 levels of trough nesting. An alarm is generated when this limit is exceeded. When using TNC it is very unusual to have a Type II path. This is because the current compensation methods can only compensate the tool tip in one direction.

G71/G70 TYPE II ROUGHING EXERCISE WITH TNC

Fill in the blank line for tool #1 using a G71 Roughing Type II cycle command, to define Roughing passes for the part geometry defined between N10 and N20. Then define a finish pass using a G70 Finishing cycle command, with tool #2. Define a finish pass for the part geometry defined between N10 and N20. On the G71 command line leave .010 stock on diameters and .005 on the faces. Take .120 depth of cut at .012 feed. NOTE: The problem with type II geometery is that the part geometery that you program in with tool nose compensation is compensating with a tip direction 3. And so the angle going from the linear dimension .500 to 1.000 needs to have a tip direction 4. So the linear dimensions for angles or arcs that change tip direction will not be correct since its not using the tip direction that is needed for those arcs or angles. For this condition, the program will have to be modified (add in the compenation to those program moves to bring within size) for the angles and arcs that change tip direction.

This canned cycle will rough out material on a part given the finished part shape. It is similar to G71 but roughs out material along the face of a part. All a programmer needs to do is to define the shape of a part by programming the finished tool path and then submitting the path definition to the G72 call by means of a PQ block designation. Any feeds, spindle speeds or tools within the block defining the path are ignored by the G72 call. Any F,S or T commands on the G72 line or in effect at the time of the G72 is used throughout the G72 roughing cycle. Usually a G70 call to the same PQ block definition is used to finish the shape using the programmed feeds, speeds tools and offsets.

PROGRAMMING

Two types of machining paths are addressed with a G72 command. The first type of path (TYPE I) is when the Z-axis of the programmed path does not change direction. This type of path is called a monotonic path. The second type of path (TYPE II) allows the Z-axis to change direction. For both the first type and the second type of programmed path the X-axis must be monotonic, that is it cannot change direction. Type I is selected by having only an X-axis motion in the block specified by P in the G71 call. When both an X-axis and Z-axis motion are in the P block then TYPE II roughing is assumed. The G72 consists of a roughing phase and a finishing phase. The roughing and finishing phase are handled slightly differently for types I and types II. Generally the roughing phase consists of repeated passes along the X-axis at the specified feed rate. The finishing phase consists of a pass along the programmed tool path to remove excess material left by the roughing phase but to leave finish material for a G70 block with perhaps a finishing tool. The final motion in either types is a return to the starting position S. In the following the start position S is the position of the tool at the time of the G72 call. The X clearance plane is derived from the X-axis start position and the sum of U and optional I finish allowances.

G72 TYPE I ROUGHING DETAILS

When Type I is specified by the programmer it is assumed that the tool path is monotonic in the X-axis. Prior to any roughing motion the tool path is checked for monotonicity and G code compliance. An alarm is generated if a problem is found. Roughing begins by advancing from the start position S and moving to the first roughing pass. All roughing passes start and end at the X clearance plane. Each roughing pass Z-axis location is determined by applying the value specified in D to the current Z location. The direction that D is applied is determined by the signs of U and W. The nature of the movement along the X clearance plane for each roughing pass is determined by the G code in block P. If block P contains a G00 code, then movement along the X clearance plane is a rapid mode. If block P contains a G01 then movement will be at the G72 feed rate. Roughing continues until the Z-axis position in block P is exceeded. Each roughing pass is stopped before it intersects the programmed tool path allowing for both roughing and finishing allowances. The tool is then retracted from the material, at a 45 degree angle by the distance specified in Setting 73. The tool then moves in rapid mode to the X-axis clearance plane. When roughing is completed the tool is moved parallel to the tool path to clean up the rough cut. If I and K are specified an additional rough finish cut parallel to the tool path is performed.

The G73 canned cycle can be used for rough cutting of castings or a forging. The canned cycle assumes that material has been relieved or is missing a certain known distance from the programmed tool path P thru Q. Machining starts at the start position S, and either rapids or feeds to the first rough cut. The nature of the approach move is based on whether a G00 or G01 is programmed in block P. Machining continues parallel to the programmed tool path. When block Q is reached a rapid departure move is executed to the Start position plus the offset for the second roughing pass. Roughing passes continue in this manner for the number of rough passes specified in D. After the last rough pass, the tool returns to starting position S. Any feed (F), spindle speed (S) or tool change (T) commands on the lines from P to Q are ignored and any F, S and T prior to or in the G73 block are in effect. The programmed tool path PQ does not have to be monotonic in X or Z, but care has to be taken to insure that existing material does not interfere with tool movement during approach and departure moves. This canned cycle is intended for use with the G70 finishing canned cycle.

The G74 canned cycle can be used for grooving on the face of a part, turning with a chip break or high speed peck drilling. With this canned cycle either a single groove peck cycle can be executed, or you can perform a series of pecks in this cycle to machine a wide groove, or a high speed peck drilling on the spindle centerline. When an X, or U, code is added to a G74 block and X is not the current position, then a minimum of two pecking cycles will occur. One at the current location and another at the X location. The I code is the incremental distance between X axis pecking cycles. Adding an I will perform multiple, evenly spaced, pecking cycles between the starting position S and X. If the distance between S and X is not evenly divisible by I then the last interval along X will be less than I. When K is added to a G74 block, then pecking will be performed at each interval distance specified by K. At each peck depth, a rapid move opposite the direction of feed and the distance the tool pulls back is entered into Setting 22. ***Warning: The D code command is rarely used and should only be used if the wall on the outside of groove does not exist like the diagram above shows. The D code can be used in grooving and turning to provide a tool clearance shift, in the X axis, before returning in the Z axis to the C clearance point. But, if both sides to the groove exist during the shift, then the groove tool would break. So you wouldnt want to use the D command.

The G75 canned cycle can be used for grooving an outside diameter with a chip break. With this canned cycle either a single pecking cycle can be executed, as for a single groove, or a series of pecking cycles can be performed, for multiple grooves. When an Z, or W, code is added to a G75 block and Z is not the current position, then a minimum of two pecking cycles will occur. One at the current location and another at the Z location. The K code is the incremental distance between Z axis pecking cycles. Adding a K will perform multiple, evenly spaced, pecking cycles between the starting position S and Z. If the distance between S and Z is not evenly divisible by K then the last interval along Z will be less than K. When I is added to a G75 block, then pecking will be performed at each interval specified by I, the peck is a rapid move opposite the direction of feed and the peck distance is obtained from Setting 22. ***Warning: The D code command is rarely used and should only be used if the wall on the outside of groove does not exist like the diagram above shows.

The G76 canned cycle can be used for threading both straight or tapered (pipe) threads. With G76 a programmer can easily command multiple cutting passes along the length of a thread. The height of the thread is specified in K. The height of the thread is defined as the distance from the crest of the thread to the root. The calculated depth of the thread will be K less the finish allowance. Setting 86 (THREAD FINISH ALLOWANCE) is this stock allowance for a finish pass allowance, if needed. The depth of the first cut of the thread is specified in D. This also determines the number of passes over the thread based on the value of K and the cutting method used. The depth of the last cut on the thread can be controlled with Setting 99 (THREAD MINIMUM CUT). The last cut will never be less than this value. The default value is .001 inches/.01 mm. The feed rate is the Lead of thread. The F feed rate in a G76 threading cycle is 1.0 divided by the number of threads per inch = F. (1.0 : 12 tpi = F.083333)

The thread taper distance amount is specified with the I command. It is measured from the target end position in X and Z axis down to the point in X axis where this cycle begins and is a radius amount. A conventional O.D. taper thread will have a negative I value and a conventional I.D. taper thread will have a positive I value.

Refer to Settings 95 and 96 to control the move distance and angle. M23 will again be active, with an M30, RESET, or a POWER ON condition. SETTING 95 (THREAD CHAMFER SIZE) - The distance of angling out of the thread. The distance is designated thread pitch, so that if 1.0 is in Setting 95 and the threading feedrate is .05, then the angle out distance will be .0500. The default in Setting 95 is 1.000. SETTING 96 (THREAD CHAMFER ANGLE) - Angle out of thread chamfer. The default angle of 45 degrees is in Setting 96. M24 Chamfer (angle out of thread) at End of Thread is OFF An M24 commands the control to perform no angle out departure move at the end of a G76 or G92 threading cycle. This M code is modal. M24 is cancelled with an M23 (Chamfer at End of Thread ON), RESET, M30 or a POWER ON condition.

DRILLING, BORING, AND TAPPING CANNED CYCLES

The canned cycles used to define and simplify programming for the most common Z-axis repetitive operations such as drilling, tapping, and boring. Once selected, a canned cycle is active until canceled with a G80 code. There are six operations involved in every canned cycle: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Positioning of X and Z axes. Rapid traverse to the reference R-plane. Drilling, boring, or tapping action. Operation at the bottom of the hole. Retraction to the reference R-plane. Rapid traverse to the initial start point.

Modal canned cycles remain in effect after they are defined and are executed in the Z axis for each positioning of X axes in a the program. Positioning moves in X axis during a canned cycle is performed as a rapid motion. Some of the canned cycle command values can also be changed after the canned cycle is defined. The command most often changed during a Lathe canned cycle is the Z depth value. Modal canned cycles will be canceled with the G80, G01 or G00 command. The operation of a canned cycle will vary according to whether incremental (U,W) or absolute (X,Z) is specified. Incremental motion is often useful in a canned cycle. If a loop count (Lnn code number) is defined within the block, the canned cycle will repeat that many times with an incremental U or W move between each cycle. Canned cycle will only be executed in the Z-axis when positioning to a new X axis position during a canned cycle command.

Application drilling counter boring peck drilling tapping cycle boring cycle boring cycle boring cycle boring cycle boring cycle

A canned cycle is presently limited to operations in the Z-axis. That is, only the G18 plane is allowed. This means that the canned cycle will be executed in the Z-axis whenever a new position is selected in the X axis. The following is a summary of the canned cycles that can be used on HAAS lathe controls.

SETTING 22 - As the tool pecks deeper into the hole with a G83. After each peck it rapids out to the R-plane, and then back into a constant specified distance above the bottom of the hole that was created by the previous peck. That specified distance is defined in Setting 22. SETTING 52 - Changes the way G83 works when it returns to the R-plane. Most programmers set the R-plane well above the cut to insure that the chip clear motion actually allows the chips to get out of the hole but this causes a wasted motion when first drilling through this empty space. Or you may need to define a clearance move above the part, in which the R-plan emay be down inside a part or pocket. If Setting 52 is set to the distance required to clear chips, the R-plane can be put much closer to the part being drilled. The Z axis will be moved above the R-plane by this amount ins Setting 52.

M CODE SUMMARY
Only one M code may be programmed per block of a program. All M codes are effective or cause an action to occur at the end of the block. However, when Parameter 278 bit "CNCR SPINDLE" is set to 1, spindle start occurs at the beginning of a block and will be concurrent with axis motion. The settings listed next to the M code in some way effects that M-code. The M-codes with double asterisk (**) are machine options.

M CODE DETAILED DESCRIPTION

M00 STOP PROGRAM (SETTING 42)
The M00 code is used to stop a program. It also stops the spindle and turns off the coolant and stops interpretation look-ahead processing. The program pointer will advance to the next block and stop. A cycle start will continue program operation from the next block.

M01 OPTIONAL PROGRAM STOP (SETTING 17) The M01 code is identical to M00 except that it only stops if OPTIONAL STOP is turned on from the front panel. A cycle start will continue program operation from the next block. M02 PROGRAM END
The M02 code will stop program operation the same as M00 but does not advance the program pointer to the next block. It will not reset the program pointer to the beginning of the program as an M30 does.

M03 SPINDLE FORWARD (S) (SETTING 144) The M03 code will start the spindle in a clockwise direction at whatever speed was previously set. The block will delay until the spindle reaches about 90% of commanded speed. If bit 31 of parameter 209 (CNCR SPINDLE) is set to 1, then this command is executed at the beginning of the block execution rather than the end as most M codes are. M04 SPINDLE REVERSE (S) (SETTING 144)
The M04 code will start the spindle in a counterclockwise direction at whatever speed was previously set. The block will delay until the spindle reaches about 90% of commanded speed. If bit 31 of parameter 209 (CNCR SPINDLE) is set to 1, then this command is executed at the beginning of the block execution rather than the end as most M codes are.

M05 SPINDLE STOP The M05 code stops the spindle. The program is delayed until spindle slows below 10 RPM. M08 COOLANT ON (SETTING 32)
The M08 code will turn the coolant on. Note that M codes are performed at the end of a block; so that if a motion command is in the same block, the coolant is turned on after the motion. The low coolant status is only checked at the start of a program so a low coolant condition will not stop a program that is already running.

M09 COOLANT OFF

The M09 code will turn off the coolant supply.

M10 CHUCK CLAMP (SETTING 92)

The M10 code is used to Clamp the chuck. It is only used when M11 is used to unclamp the chuck. A delay is provided to allow the chuck time to clamp prior to the next block executing. This is parameter 249 CHUCK CLAMP DELAY and is specified in milliseconds. The default is 500 for .5 seconds.

138

JANUARY 2005

PROGRAMMING

M11 CHUCK UNCLAMP (SETTING 92) The M11 code will unclamp the chuck. A delay is provided to allow the chuck time to unclamp prior to the next block executing. This is parameter 250 CHUCK UNCLAMP DELAY and is specified in milliseconds. The default is 500 for .5 seconds. If the spindle is turning, it will be stopped before the chuck is unclamped. M12 AUTO AIR JET ON (P) (OPTION) M13 AUTO AIR JET OFF M14 MAIN SPINDLE CLAMP (OPTION) (SETTING 92)
This M code will clamp the main spindle.

M15 MAIN SPINDLE UNCLAMP (SETTING 92) This M code will unclamp the main spindle. M17 TURRET ROTATION ALWAYS FORWARD (SETTING 97) The M17 code is a modal M code that forces the turret to rotate in the forward direction when a tool change is made. Whereas most M codes are invoked as the last action in a block, M17 works concurrently with other commands in the same block. This means that the following command will cause the tool turret to advance in the forward direction to tool #1.
N1 T101 M17; Because M17 is modal, any subsequent T command will cause the turret to rotate in the forward direction to the commanded tool. Select M17/M18 in Setting 97 to activate this feature.

M18 TURRET ROTATION ALWAYS REVERSE (SETTING 97)

The M18 code is a modal M code that forces the tool turret to rotate in the reverse direction when a tool change is made. Whereas most M codes are invoked as the last action in a block, M18 works concurrently with other commands in the same block. This means that the following command will cause the tool turret to advance in the reverse direction to tool #10. N1 T1010 M18; Because M18 is modal, any subsequent T command will cause the turret to rotate in the forward direction to the commanded tool. Select M17/M18 in Setting 97 to activate this feature.

M19 SPINDLE ORIENT (P,R) (OPTION) This feature will only work on a vector drive lathe. The M19 command orients the spindle to the zero position. A P value can be added that will cause the spindle to be oriented to a particular position (in degrees.) For example, M19 P270 will orient the spindle to 270 degrees. Note that P270.001 (or any other fraction) will be truncated to 270. Also a P365 will be treated as P5.

M21 TAILSTOCK ADVANCE (OPTION) (SETTING 106, 107, 121) The M21 code uses Settings 105, 106 and 107 to advance to the tailstock HOLD POINT. M22 TAILSTOCK RETRACT (SETTING 105) The M22 code uses Setting 107 to withdraw the tailstock to the RETRACT POINT. M23 ANGLE OUT OF THREAD, ON (SETTING 95, 96)
The M23 code commands the control to execute an angle out chamfer at the end of a thread executed by G76 or G92. This M code is modal. It remains in effect until changed by M24. Refer to Settings 95 and 96 to control the angle out chamfer size and angle.

M24 ANGLE OUT OF THREAD, OFF

The M24 code command the control to perform no angle out at the end of a G76 or G92 threading cycle. This M code is modal. M24 may be cancelled with an M23, Reset, or a POWER ON condition.

M30 PROGRAM END AND RESET (SETTING 2, 39, 56, 83) The M30 code is used to stop a program. It also stops the spindle and turns off the coolant. The program pointer will be reset to the first block of the program and stop. The parts counters displayed on the current commands display are also added to. M30 will also cancel tool length offsets. M31 CHIP AUGER FORWARD (SETTING 114, 115) M31 starts the chip auger motor in the forward direction. The forward direction is defined as the direction that the conveyor must move to transport chips out of the work cell. If the auger motor is on, then the conveyor will be stopped and restarted in the forward direction. If setting 114 has a number of minutes entered in, it will cycle after that many minutes. And it will stay on for the number of minutes in setting 115 before it turns back off until it cycles again. The conveyor will not turn if the door is open. This may be overridden by setting bit 17 of parameter 209 (CNVY DR OVRD). M33 CHIP AUGER STOP
M33 stops chip conveyor motion.

M36 PARTS CATCHER ON (OPTION)

This code is used to activate the optional Parts Catcher. It will rotate the Parts Catcher counterclockwise, into position to catch a part. A G04 code might need to be programmed between an M36 and M37, to pause the catcher pan in the open position long enough to catch the part.

M37 PARTS CATCHER OFF

This code is used to deactivate the optional Parts Catcher. It will rotate the Parts Catcher clockwise, out of the work envelope.

M41 SPINDLE LOW GEAR OVERRIDE The M41 code is used to select low gear. The spindle will come to a stop when changing gears. M41 is ignored if there is no gear box. The machine will remain in it's current gear
even after the machine is powered off. When the machine is powered up, it will be in the same gear as when it was powered off.

M42 SPINDLE HIGH GEAR OVERRIDE

The M42 code is used to select high gear. The spindle will come to a stop when changing gears. M42 is ignored if there is no gear box. The machine will remain in it's current gear even after the machine is powered off. When the machine is powered up, it will be in the same gear as when it was powered off.

M51-M58 OPTIONAL USER M-CODE SET

The M51 through M54 codes are optional for user interfaces. They will activate one of relays 25 through 28 and leave it active. These are the same relays used for M121-M124. Use M61-M64 to turn these off. The RESET key will turn off all of these relays.

M59 OUTPUT RELAY SET(N)

This M-code directly enables a discrete output relay. The syntax for its usage is M59 Pnn where nn specifies the number of the relay being turned ON. An M59 command can be used to turn ON any of the discrete output relays in the range of 1100 and 1155. For example, M59 P1103 does the same thing as #1103=1 except that it is processed as an M code (processed when coming out of the queue instead of going into the queue.) To turn off a relay, use M69. WARNING: This mcode is not a general-purpose M-code. It is a special function, and its use should be strictly monitored. Any misuse of this function will cause a serious damage to the machine and will void any warranty.

M61-M68 OPTIONAL USER M OFF

The M61 through M68 codes are optional for user interfaces. They will deactivate one of relays 25 through 28. These are the same relays used for M121-M128.

M69 OUTPUT RELAY CLEAR (N)

This M-code directly disables a discrete output relay. The syntax for its usage is M69 Pnn where nn specifies the number of the relay being turned OFF. An M69 command can be used to turn OFF any of the discrete output relays in the range of 1100 and 1155. For example, M69 P1103 does the same thing as #1103=0 except that it is processed as an M code (processed when coming out of the queue instead of going into the queue.) To turn on a relay, use M59. WARNING: This mcode is not a general-purpose M-code. It is a special function, and its use should be strictly monitored. Any misuse of this function will cause a serious damage to the machine and will void any warranty.

M76 PROGRAM DISPLAYS INACTIVE

This code is used to disable the updating of the screen displays. It is not necessary for machine performance.

M77 PROGRAM DISPLAYS ACTIVE

This code is used to enable the updating of the screen displays. It is only used when M76 is in use.

M78 ALARM IF SKIP SIGNAL FOUND

This code is used to generate an alarm if the previous skip function actually got the skip signal. This is usually used when a skip signal is not expected and may indicate a probe crash. This code can be placed in a block with the skip function or in any subsequent block. The skip functions are G31, G36, and G37.

M79 ALARM IF SKIP SIGNAL NOT FOUND

This code is used to generate an alarm if the previous skip function did not actually get the skip signal. This is usually done when the absence of the skip signal means a positioning error of a probe. This code can be placed in a block with the skip function or in any subsequent block. Skip functions are G31, G36, and G37.

M85 AUTOMATIC DOOR OPEN (OPTION) (SETTING 131) This code opens the optional automatic door. The automatic door can be used to load parts with a parts loader. Lathes equipped with an automatic door use discrete output and input labeled A DOOR to open, to close and to detect if the door is open. When M85 is invoked, the A DOOR output is set high. If the input A DOOR is not received with the time allotted by Parameter 251 (A DOOR OPEN ERRTIME), Alarm 127 (DOOR FAULT) is generated. The units of Parameter 251 are milliseconds. M86 AUTOMATIC DOOR CLOSE (OPTION) (SETTING 131)

This code closes the optional automatic door. When closing the automatic door, the A DOOR output is set low and control execution continues with delay.

M95 SLEEP MODE (hh:mm)

Sleep mode is essentially a long dwell but with power to the servo motors turned off. Sleep mode can be used when the user wishes his machine to begin warming itself up early in the morning and be ready for use upon his arrival. The format of the M95 command is: M95 (hh:mm) The comment immediately following the M95 must contain the hours and minutes that the machine is to sleep for. For example, if the current time were 6pm and the user wanted the machine to sleep until 6:30am the next morning, the following command would be used: M95 (12:30) Up to 99 hours can be specified thus allowing the machine to sleep for over 4 days. If the time is specified using an incorrect format, alarm 324 DELAY TIME RANGE ERROR will be generated. When the machine enters sleep mode, it will turn off power to the servos motors and display the following message: HAAS SLEEP MODE REMAINING TIME nnn MIN. The message will be re-displayed in a different position on the screen each second so that the user can see at a glance that the machine is sleeping. This has the advantage of preventing the message from being "burned" into one spot on the screen. When less than one minute of sleep time remains, the message will change to: REMAINING TIME nn SEC. If the user presses any key or opens the door, sleep mode will be cancelled, power will be restored to the servo motors and the active program will wait at the block following the M95 until the user presses the Cycle Start key. For the last 30 seconds of the sleep time, the machine will beep and display an additional message: WAKE UP IN nn SECONDS When the sleep time has elapsed, power will be restored to the servo motors and the active program will continue at the block following M95.

M96 JUMP IF NO SIGNAL (P, Q)

P Q Block to branch to when conditional test succeeds Discrete input to test, 0..31

This code is used to test a discrete input for 0 status. When this block is executed and the input signal specified by Q is 0, a branch to the block specified by P is performed. A Pnnnn code is required and must match a line number within the same program. The Q value must be in the range of 0 to 31. These correspond to the discrete inputs found on the diagnostic display page with the upper left being input 0 and the lower right being 31. Q is not required within the M96 block. The last specified Q will be used. This command stops the look-ahead queue until the test is made at run-time. Since the look-ahead queue is exhausted, M96 cannot be executed when cutter compensation is invoked. M96 cannot be executed from a main DNC program. If you wish to use M96 in DNC, it must be in a resident subroutine called from the DNC program. The following is an M96 example: N05 M96 P5 Q8 (TEST INPUT DOOR S, UNTIL CLOSED); N10 (START OF SOME PROGRAM LOOP); . . (PROGRAM THAT MACHINES PART); . N85 M21 (EXECUTE AN EXTERNAL USER FUNCTION) N90 M96 P10 Q27 (LOOP TO N10 IF SPARE INPUT IS 0); M95 M30 (IF SPARE INPUT IS 1 THEN END PROGRAM);

M97 LOCAL SUB-ROUTINE CALL

This code is used to call a sub-routine, referenced by a line number N within the same program. A Pnnnnn code is required and must match the N line number. This is used for simple sub-routines within a program and does not require the complication of having a separate program. A local sub-routine must still end with an M99. If there is an L count on the M97 line, the sub-routine will be repeated that number of times.

Main program: O04321 (Start of main program) ... ... (Part program) ... M97 P123 (Jumps to line N123, after the M30, to execute a local sub-routine.) ... (The M99 at the end of the sub-routine will cause it to jump back here.) ... ... (Finish part program) ... M30 (End of main program) N123 (Identifies the start of the Local Sub-Routine called up by M97 P123) ... ... (Local sub-routine portion of part) ... M99 (Jumps back to the line after the local sub-routine call in the main program)

M98 SUB-PROGRAM CALL This M98 code is used to call a sub-program. The Pnnnn code is the sub-program number being called; it must be in the same block as the M98. The subprogram number being called must already be loaded into the control, and it must contain an M99 at the end in order to return to the next line in the main program. An L count can also be included on the line containing the M98, which will cause the subroutine to be repeated L times before continuing to the next block. Main program: O05432 (Start of main program) ... ... (Part program) ... M98 P234 (Jumps to program O00234 to execute sub-program) ... (The M99 at the end of the sub-program will jump back here) ... ... (Finish part program) ... M30 (End of main program) Sub-program: O00234 (Identifies the start of a separate sub-program) ... ... (Sub-program portion of part) ... M99 (Jumps back to the line after the sub-program call in the main program)

M99 SUB-PROGRAM RETURN OR LOOP (SETTING 118) In the main program, an M99 will cause the program to loop back to the beginning and repeat over and over again without stopping. Main program: O06543 ... ... (Complete part program) ... ... M99 (This will cause the program to jump back to the beginning and repeat itself) An M99 without a P code at the end of a sub-program will return to the main program after executing the sub-routine or macro called. Main program: O07654 ... ... (Part program) ... M98 P345 (Jumps to program O00345 to run) ... (The M99 at the end of the sub-program will jump back here) ... ... (Finish part) ...

PROGRAMMING

Note: If M99 Pnnnn is used at the end of the sub-program, it will cause a jump to line number Nnnnn (containing the same number as Pnnnn) in the main program. A condition of using an M99 Pnnnn in the Haas control varies from that seen in Fanuc-compatible controls. In Fanuc-compatible controls, M99 Pnnnn will return to the main program and resume execution at block N specified by M99 Pnnnn. For the Haas control, M99 will NOT return to block N specified in the M99 return call, but (like always) will jump to the line after the sub-program call in the main program. You can simulate Fanuc behavior by using the following code-calling program: Fanuc Main program: O00432 ... N50 M98 P9876 ... ... N100 (to continue here) ... ... ... M30 Sub-program: O09876 M99 P101 Haas Main program: O00543 ... N50 M98 P9876 N51 M99 P101 ... ... N101 (to continue here) ... ... M30 Sub-program: O09876 M99

If you have macros, you can use a global variable and specify a block to jump to by adding #nnn=dddd in the subroutine and then using M99 P#nnn after the subroutine call. There are many ways to jump conditionally after an M99 return when using macros.

M109

INTERACTIVE USER INPUT (P) (OPTION)

This M code allows a G-code program to place a short prompt on the screen, get a single character input from the user and store it in a macro variable. The first 15 characters from the comment following the M109 will be displayed as a prompt in the lower left corner of the screen. A macro variable in the range 500 through 599 must be specified by a P code. Note also that due to the look-ahead feature, it is necessary to include a loop in the program following the M109 to check for a non-zero response before continuing. The program can check for any character that can be entered from the keyboard by comparing with the decimal equivalent of the ASCII character.
