Explain main operating screen. The OEM determines operating screen. Some of important abbreviation are; sp, fp, ex, sx: Sp=programmed spindle speed. Fp=programmed feed rate. Ex=executed lines of the program. Sx= 1 second of executed time, the program actually runs. Go through F11 F18 soft keys for machine. The OEM sets up these keys. They very from machine to machine. Purpose is to operate the tool changer and Selections for handwheel or jog function, or any other function of the machine. Go through F1 F10 soft key for Selca. These keys are used to control the CNC. There are a lot of steps to each key similar to a ladder effect. If you are deep into a ladder you can hit the Menu 0 key twice to take you back to the NC operations main menu. To take you back to screen #1 from any place in the Ladder hit the keys menu0, menu0, Esc. Origin Setting and multiple part origins. Are Explained in the programming manual in Part1, Pg. 2-4 through 6. We can use up to 99 origins; origin 0 is Machine home and can not be changed. Origin 1 through 99 is in relation with origin 0 so the machine knows where it is at all the time. Shortcut for finding center of a block with use of program parameters. 1. Find an edge by any method you choose, set origin of your choice to its axis 0. 2. Move machine to find opposite edge to get actual value moved.

Then go to MDI and type in P1=axes name Example for X axes: P1=X then cycle start. 4. Type in P1=P1/2 then Cycle start. 5. Type O1=XP1 and cycle start. This sets the correct value into the origin for center of part. 6. Note use P1 for X, P2 for Y & P3 for Z.
3.

5. Tool change in MDI and in a program plus Show how to save an MDI program. Will be on tool change emergencies. The OEM will define Procedures for recovery of tool changer. Reset the tool table, and explain how a random or fixed tool rack works. Check programming manual Part 1, pg. 2-8 through 9 for help.

6. How to set Tool length corrections, and when to use G48

I0, or G48 K (tool number) for setting part origins with Z. Short cut to use P3 for setting tool length. Reference programming manual Part 1, pg. 2-11. Shows setting of the tool parameter table. Part 11, pg. 2-6 in the programming manual Shows the O-codes & T-codes.

BACK

Shift F2, hot Key to set the F2 key to use either Floppy drive or server drive for editing or copying files. Shift F7, hot key should be set to hard drive for execution of files. Shift F9, File Management is a shortcut in edit to open the drive selected so you can see all directories and programs in that drive and set the path to only see the files you need. Easy way to open drives: 1. menu0, menu0 2. Edit 3. Shift + F9 allow you access to change directories and file extensions. 4. Then select directory press enter. 5. select program you wish to use and press enter 6. Press the Esc button. 7. File management help in the programming manual starting Part 1, pg. 3-20

10.

Program structures, creating programs, and editing. G90= absolute, G91= incremental, I = one character string is incremental; example X5 Y3I Z1 this line means X & Z are absolute and Y is incremental. Show all keys for advanced editing. Reference to the manual, Part 1, pg. 3-1

Average training times: Basic training course to #21 of the above course outline manual: 8 Hours, of instruction. Conversational training, to #33 of the above course outline manual: 8 Hours, of additional instruction. During this time we usually make sure your network connections are correctly set up and working, plus we also make sure your post processor is posting programs for Selca correctly, if not I will assist in modifying your post, this is done at the normal service rate. Advanced 2.5-D programming and Proget2 language training to #39 of the above course outline manual, typically takes an additional 8 Hours, of instruction. This type of training is usually for customers who do not use CAD CAM software for programming. Rotary and 5 Axes training will end the programming course and usually takes about 8 hours each for complete training, with actual job running proof on customers part. Probe Training, tool touch probe takes about 4 hours of training time to complete, center measure probe takes about 8 hours to complete full training course.
