GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS To ensure safety while using a machine featuring the TURN MATE i function, observe the following precautions:

WARNING 1 Confirm, on the screen, that the data has been

entered correctly before proceeding to the next operation. Attempting operation with incorrect data may cause the tool to strike the workpiece or machine, possibly breaking the tool and/or machine and/or injuring the operator.

2 When using constant surface speed control, set the maximum rotating speed of the spindle to a value that is allowed for the workpiece and workpiece holding unit. Otherwise, the workpiece or holding unit may be removed by centrifugal force damaging the machine or injuring the operator.

3 Set all necessary parameters and data items before starting TURN MATE i operations. Note that if the cutting conditions are not suitable for the workpiece, the tool may be damaged and/or the operator may be injured.

4 After creating a machining program using TURN MATE i functions, do no run the machining program immediately on the machine . Before starting production machining, run the machine with no workpiece attached to the machine to make sure that the tool will not strike a workpiece or the machine. If the tool strikes the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be damaged, with possibility to injure the operator.

5 Switching between inch and metric inputs does not convert the measurement units of data such as the workpiece origin offset, parameter, and current position. Before starting the machine, therefore, determine which measurement units are being used. Attempting to perform an operation with invalid data specified may damage the tool, the machine itself, the workpiece, or cause injury to the user.

CAUTION

After pressing the power-on button, do not touch any keys on the keyboard until the initial screen appears. Some keys are used for maintenance or special operations such that pressing such a key may cause an unexpected operation.

1 OVERVIEW OF THIS MANUAL This manual describes the functions of "TURN MATE i" for the Series 0i-TC and Series 0i Mate-TC. For other functions, other than TURN MATE i, refer to the operator’s manual for the Series 0i-TC or Series 0i Mate-TC. The specifications and features of TURN MATE i may differ from the specifications of the operator’s manual supplied by the machine tool builder. Be sure to read the manual provided by the machine tool builder. The functions of the CNC machine tool system are determined not only by the CNC, but by the combination of the machine tool, the power magnetic circuit of the machine tool, the servo system, the CNC, and the operator’s panel. It is impossible to cover all possible combinations of all functions, programming methods, and operations in a single manual. This manual explains only the TURN MATE i operations provided for the CNC. For individual CNC machine tools, refer to applicable manuals supplied by the machine tool builders. This manual explains as many detailed functions as possible. However, it is not possible to describe all the items which cannot be done or which the operator must not do. Therefore, please assume that functions not described in this manual cannot be performed. Detailed information and special conditions are explained in notes. The readers may encounter new technical terms in the notes not previously defined or described. In this case, read this manual through first, and then review the details.

NOTE TURN MATE i has functions to support turning

cycles. This manual covers these functions assuming that your machine has all these functions. However, your machine may not actually be provided with some of these functions.

5 NOTES ON OPERATIONS Before operating TURN MATE i read carefully following notes.

5.NOTES ON OPERATIONS GENERAL B-64254EN/04

- 16 -

5.1 SPECIFICATION OF T CODE FOR TOOL SELECTION In TURN MATE i T code for tool selection has following pattern: Txyxy ( 4 digit number) It means that tool number and tool offset number shall be the same. Up to 16 tools can be registered in TURN MATE i, from 1 to 16. Tool numbers and tool offset number in a range from 1 to 16 cannot be used on CNC side. Tool numbers and tool offset number in a range from 17 to 32 are reserved for future improvements of TURN MATE i so they should not be used on CNC side. Tool numbers in a range between 33 and 64 cannot be used in TURN MATE i programs. Tool numbers and tool offset number in a range from 33 to 64 can be used on CNC side.

CAUTION If parameter No.5002#0 (LD1) =1 then TURN

MATE i does not work correctly. Be sure to set parameter No.5002#0 (LD1)=0

5.2 MANUAL CUTTING IN A LIMITED AREA This function uses stored stroke check 2 (parameters No.1322 and No.1323). Consequently stored stroke check 2 function can be used exclusively by TURN MATE i for manual cutting in a limited area, Stored stroke check 2 cannot be used for other purposes.

CAUTION Chuck and tail stock barrier function, cannot be

used together with Stored stroke check 2 function . So, if Manual Cutting in a limited area is used, please be sure to set Parameter No.8134#1(BAR) to 0 to deactivate Chuck and tail stock barrier function.

5.3 INHIBITION OF OPERATIONS In following four conditions TURN MATE i cannot execute automatic operations. (1) PMC signal OP (F000#7) is on. (2) PMC signal SPL (F000#4) is on. (3) PMC signal AL (F001#0) is on. (4) PMC messages / operator messages are being displayed.

B-64254EN/04 GENERAL 5.NOTES ON OPERATIONS

- 17 -

5.4 MANUAL INTERVENTION DURING CUTTING CYCLES If a cutting cycle is stopped by feed hold then do not execute any manual intervention. There is no guarantee the tool will returns to the position where the cutting cycle has been stopped.

WARNING If a cutting cycle is stopped by feed hold and a

manual intervention is executed then there is a danger to the user, being injured, and the equipment, being damaged.

5.5 TOOL NOSE RADIUS COMPENSATION

The tool path of TURN MATE i is generated taking into account the tool nose radius value in the tool movements command. Consequently the activation of tool nose radius compensation function is not required for cutting cycle.

CAUTION If tool nose radius compensation function is

activated before a cutting cycle then TURN MATE i cancels it automatically.

5.6 CLEAR OPERATION FOR SRAM DATA OF TURN MATE i There is an area of the SRAM memory reserved for TURN MATE i. Upon installing TURN MATE i for the first time on the CNC, please be sure to clear the SRAM area reserved for TURN MATE i as follows. (1) Power ON pushing [CAN] ( ) key on the MDI keyboard. (2) The message “NOW LOADING” will appear on the screen and

after a few seconds the message “SRAM DATA CLEARED” will appear on the top right hand side of the screen.

(3) SRAM memory area of TURN MATE i is now clear.

CAUTION Neglecting to clear the SRAM memory area

reserved for TURN MATE i will cause to have incorrect default values of the cutting cycles data.

6.MANDATORY PARAMETERS GENERAL B-64254EN/04

- 18 -

6 MANDATORY PARAMETERS In order to run TURN MATE i it is necessary to set the following parameters. (1) P3112#0(SGD)=0 This parameter setting disables servo waveform display. If this parameter is set to 1, then no graphic display function

other than servo waveform display is available and TURN MATE i will be not visible.

(2) No.3201#6=1 M02, M30, and M99, do not specify the end of the program. (3) No.7100#0=1 In JOG mode Manual Handle feed is available. (4) No.8650#0=1 If RESET key is pressed, then the key code is passed to TURN

MATE i. (5) No.8650#1=1 If NC alarm is issued while the TURN MATE i is displayed then

the screen does not switch to the standard NC alarm screen. (6) No.8701#4=1 Reading vacant P code macro variables is allowed. (7) No.8701#6=1 TV check is skipped during edit operation. (8) No.9000#0=0 The parameter to debug macro program must be zero. (9) No.9000#7=0 This parameter must be set to zero. If the parameter is set to 1 then TURN MATE i screen is not

updated during maching and the maching itself is not executed correctly.

(10) No.9112≠0 The parameter specify the PMC R signal used by TURN MATE i

to communicate with the PMC. (11) No.5002#0=0

D.1 SETTING OF OPERATION MODE AT POWER ON Following ladder modification is not mandatory. By setting operation mode to JOG as default mode when power is on, it’s possible to release the operator from changing to JOG mode manually. Add ladder program consistently to following sequence to change the operation mode according to R signal specified in parameter No.9112. GTMI : Bit 6 of R signal specified in parameter No.9112. The signal

informs whether TURN MATE i is displayed or not. MD1-4 : PMC signals G043#0 to #2 SEQUENCE (1) Change operation mode to JOG when GTMI is on. (2) Change back to original operation mode when GTMI return to

D.2 STARTING A CUTTING CYCLE To start cutting cycle, it’s necessary to change operation mode to MEM and then turn ST signal on. To start a TURN MATE i cutting cycle, it is necessary to turn on R signal specified in parameter No.9112, change operation mode to MEM and then turn ST signal on according to following sequence. GST : Bit 0 of R signal specified in parameter No.9112. It

represents the TURN MATE i programs cycle start. GST2 : Bit 1 of R signal specified in parameter No.9112. It

represents the PMC acknowledgement that a TURN MATE i program is going to be executed.

GRDY : Bit 2 of R signal specified in parameter No.9112. It

represents the information that the TURN MATE i Base screen is being displayed.

GERS : Bit 7 of R signal specified in parameter No.9112. It

represents the end of execution of a TURN MATE i program.

D.4 LADDER MODIFICATION FOR REVERSE-TAP CYCLE Following ladder modification is required in order to execute reverse tapping cycles.

CAUTION 1 Without the modification is not possible to execute

reverse tapping cycles. 2 It is necessary to set No.4002#5 to 0 for reverse

tapping cycles.

D.4.1 Reverse Float Tap Cycle Canned cycle G84 is used for tapping. G84, as standard, can be used only to create standard tap. Within the execution of G84 the M codes determining the direction of spindle rotation (M03, M04) are sequentially commanded. Therefore to execute a reverse tapping is necessary to reverse the meaning of M03 and M04 by PMC ladder program. In TURN MATE i the reverse Tap cycle G84 is executed by using following template program. Mmm1 (M code to specify reverse-tap) M03; G00 Z_; X0.; G84 Z_ R_ Q_ P_ F_; G80; G00 X0.; Z_; When Mmm1 is executed the spindle rotation for tapping is reversed. It means the meaning of M03 and M04 are reversed. At the end of the tapping cycle the meaning of M03 and M04 have to be reestablished at the original meaning. Use the falling edge of PMC ladder signal F001#5 to reestablish the original meaning of M03 and M04. Please refer to ‘6.4.3 Reverse tapping sequence’.

NOTE The value of Mmm1 code specifying

reverse-tapping is defined in parameter No.9241.

M code value defined in parameter No.9241

D.4.2 Reverse-rigid Tap Cycle Canned cycle G84 is used for tapping. G84, as standard, can be used only to create standard tap. Within the execution of G84 the M codes determining the direction of spindle rotation (M03, M04) are sequentially commanded. Therefore to execute a reverse tapping is necessary to reverse the meaning of M03 and M04 by PMC ladder program. In TURN MATE i the reverse Tap cycle G84 is executed by using following template program. Mmm1 (M code to specify reverse-tap) G00 Z_; X0. ; Mmm2 S_;(Mmm2 specify rigid tapping cycle) G84 Z_ R_ P_ F_; G80; G00 X0.; Z_; When Mmm1 is executed the spindle rotation for tapping is reversed. It means the meaning of M03 and M04 are reversed. At the end of the tapping cycle the meaning of M03 and M04 have to be reestablished at the original meaning. Use the falling edge of PMC ladder signal F001#5 to reestablish the original meaning of M03 and M04. Please refer to ‘6.4.3 Reverse tapping sequence’.

NOTE The value of mm1 (M code before a reverse-tap)

reaches the value of No.9241. The value of mm2 (rigid tapping M code) is decided

as follows.: M29 in case of parameters No.5210=0&No.5212=0 M code value is specified in parameter No.5210 in

case of parameters No.5210≠0 & No.5212=0. M code value is specified in parameter No.5212 in

case of No.5212≠0.

M code value defined in parameter No.9241

D.5 SETTING SPINDLE STATE BY CW/CCW BUTTON It is possible to set spindle state (modal information of the CNC) when the spindle control button is pushed on the machine operator’s panel. To set the spindle state, it’s necessary to change operation mode to MEM and then turn ST signal on. That is, it is necessary to turn on R signal specified in parameter No.9112, change operation mode to MEM and then turn ST signal on according to following sequence.

NOTE This feature is available setting parameter

No.9103#5=1. GST : Bit 0 of R signal specified in parameter No.9112. It

represents the TURN MATE i programs cycle start. GST3 : Bit 3 of R signal specified in parameter No.9112. It

represents the PMC acknowledgement that Spindle is going to be rotated. Consequently the data saved in the Spindle setting screen are used to fill in a Macro Executor program that is executed when ST goes to 1

GRDY : Bit 2 of R signal specified in parameter No.9112. It

represents the information that the TURN MATE i Base screen is being displayed.

GERS : Bit 7 of R signal specified in parameter No.9112. It

represents the end of execution of a TURN MATE i program.

MD1-4 : PMC signals G043#0 to #2. Signals for CNC mode

selection. ST : PMC signal G007#2. PMC cycle start signal RST : Reset signal If Base Screen is displayed then TURN MATE i turn on PMC signal GRDY. SEQUENCE (1) When spindle control CW/CCW button on machine operator’s

panel is pushed and GRDY signal is ON, then turn GST3 signal ON.

(2) When GST signal turns ON, turns GST3 OFF and change operation mode to MEM and then turn ST signal ON.

(3) When M02 or M30 are executed, or RST signal is ON turn GERS signal ON.

(4) When GST signal turns OFF, change operation mode to original mode and then turn GERS signal OFF.

(5) Execute Spindle CW or CCW rotation, and then set Spindle rotation button signal OFF.

WARNING

In case this modification is not accomplished CNC ISO programs will be executed each time cycle start button is pressed with the possibility of unexpected operations, causing danger to both the user being injured and the equipment being damaged.

E USER MACRO PROGRAM CUSTOMIZATION

MTB can combine their Macro Executor program with TURN MATE i by making separate User Module (MEM file). After making User Module, MTB can install it into FROM by using BOOT SYSTEM. In order to make a user module, the following Link file and Header file are necessary. (1) BH50_U1.LNK : Link file for making User module (2) F0ITP1.MEX : Header file for making User module Hereafter, the method to create the user module is explained.

E.USER MACRO PROGRAM CUSTOMIZATION APPENDIX B-64254EN/04

- 272 -

E.1 HOW TO MAKE USER MODULE The following operation is a way of making User module. 1. Modify Link file (BH50_U1.LNK) as follows.

(1) Compile Parameter P9000 = 00000100 :

Set the suitable value according to the macro program size.

P9001 = 00000001 : #0 If you do not want to output sequence number of

P-code program, it is not necessary. P9002 = 11000001 : #7, #6

Be sure to set #7 and #6 to 1. P9008 = 00100000 : #5

Be sure to set #5 to 1. P9110 = 1 :

Be sure to set 1. As to the other compile parameter, if necessary, add it to the

original one. (2) File name of Macro program Change 'FILE=sample' to the file name which MTB want to

install. (3) Series name and Version number MTB can display the series name and version number on

SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION screen by modifying the following portion.

SERN =USR1 VERN =00ZZ

2. Compile Macro program by using MCOMP0 command. 3. Link the object file with Link file ‘BH50_U1.LNK' by using

MLINK command. 4. Make User Module (MEM file) by using MMCARD

command. 5. Install User Module into FROM by using BOOT SYSTEM.

E.2 NOTE (1) In order to run a user macro, also the macro software of TURN

MATE i, "BH50.mem", is necessary. The macro software, therefore, has to be installed into FROM.

(2) Please order Custom Software size and set the compile parameter

No.9000 according to the size. (3) As to the program number and the common varies, there is no

restriction.
