been modified. And the modifying mark "MD0159" is added on the all of the source codes.

Item 86: Tool is moving in G01 mode between 2C-axis grooves (when P9855 = P9785)
 This improvement is available by setting the parameter P9642<#5:IBR> to 1.

Item 107: Round nose tool

<Specifications>
In case of specifying the round nose tool, nose angle=0 and edge angle=90 must be
specified.
In case that the radius of the round nose tool on the screen is less than 12 dot, the tool will
not be displayed correctly.

<About the user macro for this feature>

In order to add this feature, the user macro files, BH81u_xx.src and BH81s_xx.src, were
updated to the BH81u_4V.src and BH81s_4V.src. And the modifying mark "MD0165" and
“MD0166” are added on the modified source codes.
Item 108: Finish cycle automatically generated if FINISH key is pressed
<Specification>
This function is available by setting the parameter 9642<#7:BFM> to 1.

< Flow chart of the programming operation in case of generating bar finishing cycle>

Programming Bar Roughing Cycle

Operator inputs the bar machining roughing cycle data (process data and figure data). If
necessary, an operator confirms the roughing cycle by using play back or drawing screen
of tool path

Saving only Roughing Cycle Saving Roughing and Finishing Cycle (1)

By pressing soft key [SAVE], Manual By pressing the soft-key [FINISH],

Guide T changes to program display finishing screen opens T, S, F data fields
window and soft keys [ADD] and [NEW] are cleared
are displayed.

If [ADD] is pressed rough cycle is saved

to existing program,

If [NEW] is pressed rough cycle is saved Saving Roughing and Finishing Cycle (2)
to new program.
(This is the specification as it is now) Input T, S, F data for finish cycle

Saving Roughing and Finishing Cycle (3)

By pressing soft key [SAVE], Manual

Guide T changes to program display
window and soft keys [ADD] and [NEW]
are displayed.

If [ADD] is pressed rough and finish cycle

is saved to existing program,

If [NEW] is pressed rough and finish

cycle is saved to new program.
<About the user macro for this feature>
In order to add this feature, the user macro file BH81s_xx.src was updated to the
BH81s_4V.src. And the modifying mark "MD0158" is added on the modified source codes.

NOTE: Bar machining roughing and finishing cycle have separate figure data (contour data).
Result is that after saving rough and finish cycle, modification of figure data (program
corrections) need to be done individually for rough and finish. By using below described
procedure it is possible to modify an existing program without modifying figure data twice:
(1) Delete finish cycle
(2) Modify rough cycle
(3) Copy modified rough cycle
(4) Convert copy of modified rough cycle to finish cycle by pressing soft key [BAR-F]
Item 109: In boring cycle tool must return to R plane in G00
 This improvement are available by setting the parameter P9642<#5:IBR> to 1.

Item 49: Groove start position is wrong

In grooving it is sometimes necessary to prevent collision to modify approach point.
In trapezodal grooving, the calculation of the approach point was improved as follows.
By modifying or inputting the entry (corner-R/chamfer, point2 X/Z and point3 X/Z) the
approach point is not recalculated.

 Fixed no parameter setting required

Item 116: Pop up window for operator message

 This improvement is available by setting the parameter 9642<#2:EMS> to 1. Special CNC
software is necessary. FS16i-TA B1F4-ed. 8, FS18i-TA BEF4-ed. 8, FS21i-TA DEF4-
ed. 8

Item 21: In drilling, depth of hole should be initialized by End-Z, changed order of
"Pattern", "Hole Dia", "Start-Z"

 This improvement is available by setting the parameter 9642<#4:HOL> to 1. By setting

the parameter to 1, the order of the entry is changed as follows.

In case of Drilling:
"Pattern","Hole Dia","Start-Z","End-Z"

In case of C-axis Drilling:

"Pattern","Hole Dia"

Note: The following operation of editting the drilling program is not permitted.
(1) In the parameter 9642<HOL>=1, making a drilling program
(2) Changing the parameter 9642<HOL> to 0
(3) Editing the drilling program which was prgrammed at the above operation(1)
For this improvement, the following fanuc standard source codes are modified.
And the modifying mark "02.05.28 ITEM21" is added on the all of the source codes.
- O7511/PRG7511.SRC
- O7522/PRG7522.SRC
- O7611/PRGCYCG5.SRC,O7622/PRGCYCG8.SRC

Item 84: At bar machining, END REMOVAL is not automatically taken into
consideration

When the "END REMOVAL" data is inputted on the program list window, the approach
point and cutting start point of bar maching are changed according to the "End Removal".
But, their points are changed only the case that the 2nd figure of bar maching is vertical line
with the start point Z=0of the line.

 Fixed no parameter setting required

Item 92: If residual cutting part remains, warning message 701 does not appear
during finish cycle

 Like the Bar Roughing cycle, this improvement also is available by setting the parameter
9847<#0:WRN> to 1.

Item 101: In bar finish cycle tool always return to outer workpiece diameter in X even
if shape to finish starts at lower X

This tool motion occurrs only the following condition and, by changing the cutting start point X,
the tool motion can be eliminated.

<Condition>
- Bar finishing
- The 2nd figure of Bar maching is vertical line with the start point Z=0 of the line like the
above item 84.
- End Removal is specified

 By setting the parameter 9642<#3:BST> to 1 and operating as follows, this tool motion
can be eliminated. After creating or editting Bar finishing program, if an operator inputs
the End Removal, MG-T system changes automatically the cutting start point X in case
that the created or editted program fits in with the above condition.

Item 105: Problem with zoom scale memorisation function

It does not work correctly if MGT is switched off/on and CNC animation screen is opened in
between.

 Fixed no parameter setting required

Item 117: Different colour for warning and alarm

Warning message is displayed with red colour. Green colour for Confirmation message.

 No parameter setting required

Item 127: RL-GFE02/0467 Manual Guide T memory problem
 Fixed no parameter setting required

Item 118: Calculation of free contour, example arc with center X, Z radius R, end
point only X

In case that the center point and start point of the arc are known, the undefined end point of
arc is calculated when the end point only X or Z is defined. By calculating the end point, if the
two end points are gotten, the end point which is near the start point of the arc is used as
follows.

P1 P2

The defined end point Xe

Start point of the arc

In case of the above example, since the point P2 is near the start point of the arc comparing
with the point P1, the point P2 is taken as the end point of the arc.

 No parameter setting required

Item 119: Rigid tapping cycle with live tool driven by servo motor, instead of spindle
motor

 This function is available by setting the parameter 9641<#6:UTP> to 1. The Specification

of this function is as follows.

 No parameter setting required

Item 123: In C-axis drilling tool moves first to X0 before positioning to the first hole of
the pattern

Before testing, please confirm whether the approach point X is set to 0 or not. If the approach
point X is set to 0, tool moves first to X0 before positioning to the first hole.

 No parameter setting required

Item 124: Polish language

The following macro programs are modified. O740X, O730X : The modified mark “MD0168-2”
is added on the modified source code O7697,O1006: The modified mark “02.06.20” is added
on the modified source code N1005”ROUND NOSE TOOL”/O7358: Added the message

 Function is available by setting 9762 <#6:LG2> to 1

Item 104: If from animated simulation screen it is switched directly to CNC screen
display is not ok.

 Fixed no parameter setting required

Bar Finish Cycle Crash

Crash condition 1: Incorrect approach movement

In finish cycle tool is approaching corner of work-piece without safety distance in rapid G00
when nose-radius value is set to zero.

 In order to avoid crash condition 1, the parameter P9784 or P9785 for clearance is used.
Tool approaches to the position, ” figur start point + the clearance parameter P9784”, in
G00.

Crash condition 2: Incorrect tool movement at begin of residual material

After cutting to begin of falling contour (begin of residual material), finishing cycle positions
tool in rapid G00 to end of falling contour. Unfortunately at begin of falling contour there is still
some material is left tool crosses in rapid. (This problem occurs in case that nose-radius value
is zero or small comparing with finishing allowance)

Crash condition 3:

At end of falling contour (end of residual material) tool moves in G00 rapid through finish
amount (This problem occurs in case that operator forget to insert RELASE value on detailed
data screen)

 In order to avoid crash condition 1 and 2, set parameter P9641<#5:BFN>=1. Tool moves
according below new specification.

Finishing allowance Remained residual cutting part

B1
Escape amount

This line is decided by the tool nose angle, edge angle and
clearance angle. The feed rate of this part is used the feed rate of
the previous block B1.

In case of the parameter P9641<#5:BFN>=1 the Release amount data is used, the parameter
P9692 is used for setting the default value of the Release amount data. But, when a tool
number data is inputted, if a tool nose radius is not zero, the value of “4 x Tool nose radius” is
set to the Release amount data (This specification has been used in the Manual guide
software edition 2L and after). If a tool nose radius is zero, the parameter P9692 is set to the
Release amount as default value.
Thread Repair: Thread repair soft-key disappears if Inch mode is selected
 Fixed no parameter setting required

The following macro programs are modified. N0107/O7180 to 7189 : The modified mark
“02.06.28” is added on the modified source code
