You must A) contact the machine tool builder to have them fxthe machine OB) mite @ CNC program that stars the spindle at your desired speed © C) use the MDI mode to activate the spindle OD) give up. There is no way to stat the spindle 25) As par ofthe machine startup procedure, you must send the machine tos 2 return (home) positon. @ Tue O False 25) Proven CNC programs (hose un before) requie no program veilcation procedures. OTe @ False 27) There is always some way to adjust offsets to ensure that every ‘ol in every program will machine with atte excess stock, Test Page Two ‘meaning (tthe program is core) there is never an excuse to scrap the fist workpiee in a preduction run, @ The Oi False 28) How often should you check the way lubrication levels on your (CNC machine? A) Once every hour @ C) Once every shit OB) Once every week CD} Once every month 2) While here is never a good excuse fora crash, i you do have a mishap and your machine crashes, you shoul: A) check visually o see that thee is no damage and continue running production & B) immediately natty your supervisor OO) ix any damage and continue running production iD} stop running production forthe balance of your shit 30) As you are verying a new program that has never run betore, you find what you consider tobe a serious mistake fn he pro- ‘ram's motions. You shoul A) do your best to fx the mistake and continue (@B) notty your supervisor so the programmer can be contacted i C) assume that the program has been well checked by the programmer and un the program as itis 31) When naving a problem of almost any kind, itis offen helpful to be able to look ata list of ll curenlyinstaled commands. The Aispay sereen mode that allows ths is G A) Program G C) Offset © 8) Program Check C1 0} Position 32) Aprogram stop is encountered (M00) and the machine stops. However, you ae not sue why te program stop isin he pro- ram. You should GA) press cycle slat to resume the programs execution |B B) call up the PROGRAM display sreen mode and see i there isa message teling you what to do near the MOD GC) turn on single block to cautiously step through the ret few commands 33) While running a new pregram, the machine goes int alarm slate and shows alarm number 41 wth the message “Overcuting will occur during cuter radius compensation.” You should: A) restart the program and ty again iB) um on single block and cautiously run the net few commands © C)consuthe alarm listin the operation manual o fur ther diagnose the alarm 34) After diagnosing an alam itis possible that you must: A) change a tool ose value iB) exit commands inthe program GC) press the reset button o cancel the alarm @ djallot re adoveSection Two: Machining Center Questions 35) Spindle sped for machining centers is always spect in A) surface eto: meters per minute aru 1 6) inches per minute inches por evolution 36) When viewing a vertical machining center from the rot, the X axis is letvright, i foreat, and Z is up/down. @ Tue O Fake 37) Many machining center setups require manual measurements to determine the program zeto assignment values, These valves al- most always represent: Aare the combine lengths of al tools @ 8) the distance between the program zero point and the tracings zero return postion in Othe distance between program zo and the able top iD) the cstance tram te tal pt the spindle nose 38) Once the program zero designation values are determined, they must oe placed B A)inthe program's G22 command GB) inthe corresponding fntue ost GC) inthe too! length compensation offsets DD) inthe cute radius compensation offsets & £}AorB, depending upon the method ot program zero assignment 39) You need to manually make a tol change to place tool number cone inthe spindle, However, the machine has no manual but- tens or switches for making tool changes. You mus GA) contact the machine tool builder to fix the machine GB) wit short program to make the tool change ‘@ C)usethe MDI mode to command the tol change using progyan-tike commands 0} you cannot manually activate the tool changer wth this machine 40) You are running the fst workpiece wih a proven program (one that has run before). The fist four tools cut just fine. However, the fifth oo! fan end mill machining a pockel) does not cut quite leap enough. It's most tly that DA) the program zera assignments incorect ‘@ 8) te too length compensation ots fr tol tive is not correct D6) the cuter rats compensation ose fo tok fe is not corect GD) the program coordinates for tool fe are incorrect 41) You ae veiying a new program, cautiously allowing each tool to approach te workpiece using single block and dry run. Tools, ‘one and two run just fine, However, as tool three gels within about one inch of he work surface, you are worried that it may not stop in its correct position, so you press feed hold and check the DISTANCE-T0-GO page onthe display screen, Sure Proficiency Test enough the distance to go reads a value of 2-3.5435 inches, tt is key tat: A) too! length compensation is not istted fortis tol 8B) the loo! length compensation offset values incorect OC) the programmed Z approach coordinate fo too three is incorrect 1 D) any tthe above 42) You ae running the frst workpiece with proven program (one ‘hat has run before), Too number four sa miling cuter that machines a pocket. The pockets supposed to be 0.5000 in 4-00" deep. However, fer oo four mls the pocket, you ind the pocel 0 be 0.4970 deep, You mus: OA) change the program to make the endmil plunge 0.008 in deeper 8) increase the tool lengt compensation value by 0.008 in 1 C) decrease the tol lengtn compensation value by 0.003 in CD) increase the program zero designation Z value by 0.003 in 43) Alter correcting the problem given in question 42, you must re- ‘un oo number four. You mus: © 4) um onthe optional stop switch, scan othe proper pick-up bloc for tool four, and run te program trom there 8) run the entire program from the beginning to get to tool number four 1 C} you cannot rerun tools once they have cut 44) Ailing cuter na proven program is machining acreular counter-boed hole using cirularinterpataton. The coun- ter-bored hole sz is supposed to be 3.0000 in, bu when you measure the fol, you tnd ito be 2.9960. You must: 1 AY ange the programmed coordinates forthe ming cuter 8) increase the cuter radius compensation value for he rling ctr by 0.002 in @ ©) decrease the cuter radius compensation value forthe riling cuter by 0,002 in 1) the programmer mus fx this kind o problem 48) You are cunning the fis workpiece with a proven program. Tool number five is ailing cuter machining a pocket oa very tight dept tolerance. You should AY simply un theming cuter. the tool length com- pensation value the program Z coordinate, and the program zoro assignment in Z ae correct, the pocket will come out right to sze & 8) increase the tool length compensation value for tool {ve-by asmall amount, This wil ore excess stock to beet inthe pocket. Aer machining, check the pocket depth and adjust the tool length compensation offset \alue acordingly and rerun the too 1) here iso way to ensure thal he pockets machined tothe coret death Test Page Three
