LESSON-1 – EXERCISE #1 - ABSOLUTE & INCREMENTAL POSITIONING

ABSOLUTE PROGRAMMING

All axis motions are based on a fixed zero reference point, known as ABSOLUTE ZERO (part zero). Each coordinate is in relation to this absolute zero using Cartesian or Rectangular Co-ordinates.

INCREMENTAL PROGRAMMING

All axis motions are based on the distance to the next location. Each coordinate is based on how far the tool is to move from start to finish. For an incremental move in X axis, we use U and for an incremental move in the Z axis we use W. G91 is not used.

 STARTING AT THE POINT O (ORIGIN), DESCRIBE THE PATH FROM O THROUGH ALL 9 POINTS AND BACK TO THE POINT O USING ABSOLUTE & INCREMENTAL POSITIONING

PROGRAMMING NOTE As you may have noticed, there are no Incremental or Absolute modes included in the Preparatory Commands (G codes). On a CNC turning center or Lathe, the mode is always set to Absolute and diameter, if an Incremental movement is required the letters U or W are used for X or Z respectively.

X OVERCUT Most lathe tools have a radius on the front or cutting edge; it is referred to as Tool Nose Radius. This radius must be compensated for in the calculation of the tool path much like the tool radius offset in milling operations, this offset is known as Tool Nose Radius Compensation. We will discuss this later on in this book but for now, know that when we program a facing operation we must


account for the radius in our final X position of the facing move to create a flat surface. This extra value that we program is sometimes referred to as overcut.

COMMONLY USED MISCELLANEOUS M CODES CODE

FUNCTION

M04

The M00 code is used for a Program Stop command on the machine. It stops the spindle, turns off coolant and stops look-a-head processing. Pressing CYCLE START again will continue the program on the next block of the program. The M01 code is used for an Optional Program Stop command. Pressing the OPT STOP key on the control panel signals the machine to perform a stop command when the control reads an M01 command. It will then perform like an M00. Optional stops are useful when machining the first part to allow for inspection of the part as it is machined. Starts the spindle CLOCKWISE for most machining. Must have a spindle speed defined. The M03 is used to turn the spindle on at the beginning of program or after a tool change. Starts the spindle COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Must have a spindle speed defined.

M05

STOPS the spindle. If the coolant is on, the M05 will turn it off.

Page 11

RAPID G00 AND LINEAR G01 INTERPOLATION G00 RAPID TRAVERSE This code is used for rapid motion of the tool in air to traverse from one position to another as fast as possible. This code will work for both axis motions at once. This G00 code is modal and causes all the following blocks to be in rapid (up to 1000 in./min.) motion until another Group 01 code is specified, for example G01 linear interpolation. Generally, rapid motions "will not" be in a straight line. All the axes specified are moved at the maximum speed and will not necessarily complete each axis move at the same time. It activates each axis drive motor independently of each other and, as a result, the axis with the shortest move will reach its destination first. So you need to be careful of any obstructions to avoid with this type


of rapid move. 

G00 is used when you are positioning the tool in ‘fresh air’.



Retracting from a hole you have drilled.



Rapid traverse is not used when cutting the part.



Used incorrectly, rapid traverse will break a tool very easily and possibly remove the part from the chuck.

G01 LINEAR INTERPOLATION

This G code provides for straight line (linear) motion with programmed feedrate for all axis motions from point to point. Motion can occur with both axes at once.

All axes specified will start at the same time and proceed to their destination and arrive simultaneously at the specified feedrate.

To program a feedrate, the F command is used. The F command is modal and may be specified in a previous block. G01 is used for

Drilling a hole



Turning a diameter



Machining a profile I.D and O.D.



Grooving I.D and O.D.

Lathe Lesson 2 - 6

EXAMPLE OF PROGRAM START-UP BLOCKS N10 G18 G20 G40 G54 G80 G97 G99 Many programs have a G code default line or “Safety Block” at the beginning of the program, this is to ensure the machine control is in a safe start condition before proceeding with the program. If the previous program had failed to cancel certain function this “Safety Block” would help ensure that the new program starts with the appropriate settings. For example the G codes below would perform the following at the start of the program:


G18 - ZX Plane Selection G20 - Inch Programming G40 - Cancel Tool Nose Compensation G54 - Work Offset Command G80 - Cancels Canned Cycles G97 - Constant Non-Varying Spindle Speed G99 - Feed Per Revolution

MACHINE DEFAULTS

When the machine tool is powered on the control automatically recognizes a series of codes. On the Haas lathe the G codes listed below are set when the lathe is powered up:

G00 Rapid Traverse

G18 XZ Circular Plane Selection

G40 Cutter Compensation Cancel G54 Work Coordinate Zero #1 G64 Exact Stop Cancel

Note: Depending on the setup of the lathe and to avoid any crashes while returning to machine zero it is usually best to move to machine zero in only one axis first. You need to be aware of where the tool is located and on its journey to machine zero, will it collide with anything?

Lathe Lesson 2 - 9

Page 15

MOVING TO MACHINE ZERO – G28 and G53 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 you program G28 on its own the machine will move in the X and Z axis simultaneously to machine zero. To command only the turret to return to machine zero, and not the tailstock if one is being used, program in G28 U0 W0 to send only the X and Z axes home and the tailstock will remain in place.


G00 G28 X3.00 Z2.00 The above command would position the tool from the current position to the absolute position of X3.00 and Z2.00, and then to the X and Y axis machine zero point. This is a movement through an absolute intermediate point. This can be used as a way to move to a clearance point and then return to machine zero.

Haas has a G53 program code that works similar to G28. Example: G53 G00 X-2.0 Z-4.0 The machine will move negative 2.0 inches from the machine zero position in the X axis, and negative 4.0 inches from home position in the Z axis. G53 G00 X0 Z0 This block will send the turret to machine Zero.

Page 16

Lathe Lesson 2 - 10

G40, G41, & G42 TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION When a program is created it is done so using the insert’s command or reference point (see figure below). Tool Nose Compensation is used to offset the tool by a distance that will bring the cutting edge of the insert to the proper position in relation to the specific radius of the insert being used. The radius of the tool must be input into the controller and it will calculate the proper offset known as Tool Nose Compensation.

G40 TOOL COMPENSATION CANCEL G40 will cancel the G41 or G42 tool compensation commands that are in effect at the time.

G41 TOOL COMPENSATION LEFT (BORING)


G41 will select tool compensation to the LEFT of the contouring direction; generally G41 is used for boring. The tool is compensated for the radius of the tool tip. The value of the compensation (tool radius) must be entered in the controller registry during set-up.

G42 TOOL COMPENSATION RIGHT (TURNING)

G42 will select tool compensation to the RIGHT of the contouring direction; generally G42 is used for turning. The tool is compensated for the radius of the tool tip. The value of the compensation (tool radius) must be entered in the controller registry during set-up.

LESSON-3 DRILLING

Page 19

LESSON-3 CENTER DRILL & DRILLING CENTER DRILLING


Before most drilling operations take place a starting drill must be programmed to make a small hole for the larger drill that will follow. The tool used to make the starting hole is known as a center drill, sizes of center drills vary and the use of the different sizes is governed by the size of the drill that will be used after. The following is a chart that will assist in choosing the proper size of the center drill and programming the correct Z depth.

DRILL POINT LENGTH

On most engineering drawings the finished depth of the hole will be given from the front edge of the part to the end of the parallel part of the hole (not including the drill point). This poses a programming problem because we program from the point of the drill so any Z depth we specify has to include the length of the drill point. To do this we have a calculation to perform based on the diameter of the drill and the angle of the drill point (usually 118°). Quite simply the calculation is as follows:

Drill Point Length = Diameter x Constant

Where DIA. refers to the drill diameter and the constant is stated in the following chart DRILL ANGLE CONSTANTS

X Z R F

This G code permits the inclusion of multiple axis motions on one block of program. It is used to reduce the length of program.

All Z axis motions are in ABSOLUTE with any other axis motions unaffected.

In a canned cycle drill, the cutter moves at rapid to the X and Z axis specified, then to a Z value in front of the hole at rapid rate to the R Plane, which is a point clear of the work piece. From the R

Plane the drill feeds to the Z-depth at the specified feedrate. When the cutter reaches the Z depth, it retracts at rapid rate to the R Plane.

This G code is similar to G81 but is used for drilling when the tool must be withdrawn periodically to allow chips to be removed from the hole. This cycle allows the tool to rapid to the R Plane, feeds towards the Z depth in increments (traversing to the R Plane and back to the point where drilling was interrupted after each increment) until the tool reaches the final Z depth.

When using G83 to peck drill a hole every pass will cut in by the Q amount 0.2, then rapid out to the R plane to clear chips and then rapid into the hole for the next Q peck amount until Z depth is reached.

LINEAR INTERPOLATION

Page 27

RAPID G00 AND LINEAR G01 INTERPOLATION G00 RAPID TRAVERSE This code is used for rapid motion of the tool in air to traverse from one position to another as fast as possible. This code will work for both axis motions at once. This G00 code is modal and causes all the following blocks to be in rapid (up to 1000 in./min.) motion until another Group 01 code is specified, for example G01 linear interpolation. Generally, rapid motions "will not" be in a straight line. All the axes specified are moved at the maximum speed and will not necessarily complete each axis move at the same time. It activates each axis drive motor independently of each other and, as a result, the axis with the shortest move will reach its destination first. So you need to be careful of any obstructions to avoid with this type


of rapid move. 

G00 is used when you are positioning the tool in ‘fresh air’.



Retracting from a hole you have drilled.



Rapid traverse is not used when cutting the part.



Used incorrectly, rapid traverse will break a tool very easily and possibly remove the part from the chuck.

G01 LINEAR INTERPOLATION

This G code provides for straight line (linear) motion with programmed feedrate for all axis motions from point to point. Motion can occur with both axes at once.

All axes specified will start at the same time and proceed to their destination and arrive simultaneously at the specified feedrate.

To program a feedrate, the F command is used. The F command is modal and may be specified in a previous block. G01 is used for

Lathe Lesson 4 - 2

FACING FACING After a work piece has been loaded into a lathe the first operation should be to face the end of the part to make it flat. This will allow the later turning and boring operations to start the cut without having a sometimes large interrupted cut due to an uneven face. There are fixed or canned cycles that can be programmed to do this but for now we will talk about manually programming this operation. 

A safe starting position away from the Outside Diameter (OD) of the rough material should be determined, as well as from the uneven front face of the raw material (X and Z).



Depth of the face cut should be made from the “safe position” to the Z position required,


then program the X cut along the face as linear interpolation. 

If the material has a rough bore the X coordinate for facing should be programmed a

sufficient amount smaller than the Inside Diameter (ID) of the bore, as there is no need to go to X0 this will eliminate “fresh air cutting”.



Don’t forget the overcut! The usual amount of the overcut is not much more than the

radius of the facing insert, if too much overcut is programmed damage to the insert itself may occur due to rubbing of the cutting edge on the material.

 

This Example program faces the front of the part, one rough cut, one finish cut. After facing the front of the bar stock the diameters are rough turned, leaving a small amount of material for a finish pass. For this example a maximum cut of 0.25 off the diameter is being taken, leaving 0.03 on the diameter and 0.005 on all Z faces. A finishing pass will be programmed in the next exercise. The bar stock is 1.5” diameter X0 is centerline of the part, Z0 is the front face (far right) of the part All X positions are diameter, all Z positions past the front face are ZAfter facing the tool is retracted in X&Z (U&W) a small amount (0.05”) then rapids to the X diameter of the first Z feed across the rough OD of the part. The tool is once again retracted in X&Z (U&W) then rapids back to a safe position in Z, and then brought to the next position in X diameter for the next feed across and so on. The 0.0625 x 45° chamfers will be added later in the finishing tool path In this example the rough turning passes will machine past the left end of the part by 0.2”. The reason for this is to remove material prior to the parting off operation; this will leave less material for the parting tool to remove.

This canned cycle is used after the roughing canned cycle is finished. It does not have to be run directly after the roughing cycle but can be run in the same main program. The start and finish blocks of the original definition of the profile that was used in the rough cycle are used to define the contour of the finish cycle. It is recommended that the same start point is used for both rough and finish cycles to ensure safe tool paths of both operations.

In this example program the part will be programmed using canned cycle G71 to rough the diameters of the part and G70 to Finish machine the contour Z Zero is at the right face of the part The part is being made from 1.5” diameter bar stock This Example program faces the front of the part, then a series of rough cuts and one finish cut. After facing the front of the bar stock the diameters are rough turned, leaving a small amount of material for a finish pass. For this example a maximum cut of 0.1 off the diameter is being taken, leaving 0.03 on the diameter and 0.005 on all Z faces. In this example the rough turning passes will machine past the left end of the part by 0.2”.

Toolpaths are programmed using the coordinates of the true profile, much like a mill but because there are many possible positions of the tool point called the “command point” or “Tool Tip Orientation”. You have to enter the position from 1-9 in the tool (T) column on the offset page during part set-up.

These are the eight possible tool positions, the ninth position is a neutral one, sometimes used when no tool offset is needed.

Once the tool position has been determined, the position is entered as the appropriate number in the chart below in the T column. This chart is only a graphic representation of a lathe offset page.

When the machine is required to move in a straight line under a controlled federate, linear interpolation is used (G01). When it is necessary to travel in the circular motion in any plane (XY, YZ, XZ), circular interpolation is used (G02, G03). The velocity at which the tool is moving is controlled by the feed rate (F) command.

All circular interpolation moves are defined and machined by programming three pieces of information into the control.

1. DIRECTION OF TRAVEL: CLOCKWISE G02, COUNTER CLOCKWISE G03 2. ARC END POINT: X AXIS, Z AXIS

3. ARC CENTER: INCREMENTAL DISTANCE FROM START POINT TO ARC CENTER (I AND K)

WORK OUT ALL THE VALUES

   

When programming lathe coordinates only the “top half” of the part needs to be profiled, because the part is turning around, the full round part is machined. Don’t forget to program in diameters and double the radii to calculate diameter positions The front finished face is Z0. Note that when programming fillets and radii for turning, most of the time it is easier to do so incrementally (U and W).

TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION

Page 73

G40, G41, & G42 TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION When a program is created it is done so using the insert’s command or reference point (see figure below). Tool Nose Compensation is used to offset the tool by a distance that will bring the cutting edge of the insert to the proper position in relation to the specific radius of the insert being used. The radius of the tool must be input into the controller and it will calculate the proper offset known as Tool Nose Compensation.

G40 TOOL COMPENSATION CANCEL G40 will cancel the G41 or G42 tool compensation commands that are in effect at the time.

G41 TOOL COMPENSATION LEFT (BORING)


G41 will select tool compensation to the LEFT of the contouring direction; generally G41 is used for boring. The tool is compensated for the radius of the tool tip. The value of the compensation (tool radius) must be entered in the controller registry during set-up.

G42 TOOL COMPENSATION RIGHT (TURNING)

G42 will select tool compensation to the RIGHT of the contouring direction; generally G42 is used for turning. The tool is compensated for the radius of the tool tip. The value of the compensation (tool radius) must be entered in the controller registry during set-up.

Page 74

Lathe Lesson 7 - 2

G40, G41, & G42 TOOL NOSE COMPENSATION Tool Nose Compensation is used to offset the tool by a distance that will bring the cutting edge of the insert to the proper position in relation to the specific radius of the insert being used. The radius of the tool must be input into the CNC controller and it will calculate the proper offset known as Tool Nose Radius Compensation.

  

G40 is Tool Nose Radius Compensation CANCEL G41 is Tool Nose Radius Compensation LEFT of the programmed path G42 is Tool Nose Radius Compensation RIGHT of the programmed path


The shift direction is based on the direction of the tool movement relative to the tool, and which side of the part it is on.

When thinking about which direction the compensated shift will occur in tool nose compensation, imagine looking down the tool tip and steering the tool. Tool nose compensation works by shifting the Programmed Tool Path to the right or to the left. The programmer will usually program the tool path to the finished size.

When tool nose compensation is used, the CNC control will compensate for the radius of the insert based on instructions written into the program. At the CNC machine Tool Nose Compensation accomplishes its job 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.

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.

GROOVING/PART-OFF

Page 79

GROOVING GROOVING


When a circular slot or groove is needed in a part a special shaped tool may be needed. A grooving tool is the tool that is most commonly used. It comes in many shapes and sizes but usually has one thing in common, which is that it feeds straight in along the X axis and plunges into the part. A grooving tool is typically used to plunge into the part and make a groove around the part, but some grooving inserts are designed to cut in the X and Z axis direction.

PARTING-OFF PARTING-OFF


Parting-off is very similar to grooving but instead of stopping at a required depth of groove, the part-off tool is able to go right to the center of the part to allow the finished part to fall away from the chuck of the lathe. The design of the tool may be similar but the intent is very different.

The G75 canned cycle can be used for grooving an outside diameter with the added bonus of a chip break. A small retract move while cutting the groove allows the chip to break. The G75 cycle is non-modal.

With G75 either a single pecking cycle can be performed, as for a single groove, or a series of pecking moves can be performed for multiple grooves. G75 can also be used to cut-off the part by using the single pass options.

When a 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 and Z. 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 on the Haas control.

HAAS G75 – GROOVING CYCLE – SINGLE PASS - FOR CUT-OFF


N61 G75 X-0.030 I0.1 F0.002

At block 61 the grooving canned cycle G75 is being used to cut-off the part at the end of the machining operations. The X-0.030 is the destination that the tool will arrive at along the X axis. This move is at a feed rate of 0.002 per revolution.

In this block the I value is set to 0.1, this is the X-axis pecking depth increment, a radius value. As the

tool moves to the X position it will cut for 0.1 and then retract to break the chip. This retract move is a small amount and on the Hass lathe is governed by Setting 22. The Hass lathe used in the machining videos has Setting 22 set to 0.01” When the G75 cycle is complete it will return to the starting X position at rapid.

F

* Indicates optional The G76 canned cycle can be used for threading both straight and tapered threads. G76 can be used to create multiple cutting passes along the length of a thread. The height of the thread is specified in K, this height 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. On the Hass lathe Setting 86 (THREAD FINISH ALLOWANCE) is this stock allowance for a finish pass allowance, if required. 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 on the Hass lathe (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 divided by 11 TPI = F.0909091)

X* Z* U* W* I* F

* Indicates optional

The G92 is a modal canned cycle. It can be used for simple threading.

Since it is modal, you can do multiple passes for threading by just specifying a new X location for successive passes. For example: N16 G92 X.523 Z-0.8 F0.0909 M24 N17 X.520 (Additional Pass) N18 X.515 (Additional Pass) N19 X.5135 (Additional Pass)

(First Pass of a G92 O.D. Thread Cycle)

Straight threads can be made by just specifying X, Z and F. By adding I a pipe or taper thread can be cut.

HAAS – M24 - THREAD CHAMFER OFF


N91 X0.650 M24

At the end of the thread an optional chamfer can be performed. The size and angle of the chamfer is controlled with Setting 95 (THREAD CHAMFER SIZE) and Setting 96 (THREAD CHAMFER ANGLE). The chamfer size is designated in number of threads, so that if 1.000 is recorded in Setting 95 and the feed rate is .05, then the chamfer will be .05. If relief is provided for at the end of the thread, then the chamfer can be eliminated by specifying 0.000 for the chamfer size in Setting 95. The default value for Setting 95 is 1.000 and the default angle for the thread (Setting 96) is 45 degrees.

A chamfer can improve the appearance and functionality of threads that must be machined up to a shoulder.

As the Lesson-9 Example part has a 0.125” wide undercut M24 will be programed as no chamfer is required.

 M23 commands chamfer on.  M24 commands chamfer off.  M23 is the default value.

Lathe Lesson 9 - 4

THREADING THREADING The portion of the example CNC program below cuts the .625-11 UNC thread on the Lesson-9 Example part, the drawing is shown below. At block N93 the G76 threading cycle is used to cut the thread in multiple passes. The G92 threading cycle is used at block N95 and N97 to perform “spring passes”.


These “spring passes” are sometimes referred to as “ghost passes”. The threading tool is not moved any deeper but cuts along the path previously cut to clean up and get a good finish on the threads.

N93 G76 X0.5135 Z-0.8 K0.0558 D0.0176 F0.0909 At block N93 the G76 threading cycle is used to cut the thread in multiple passes. X0.5135 is the root diameter of the .625-11 UNC thread. The root diameter was identified in the Machinery’s Handbook. Z-0.8 is the absolute Z-axis target location. This is 0.050 past the end of the thread.


K0.0558 is the thread height, a radius value. This is 0.625-0.5135 / 2 = 0.05575

D0.0176 is the first pass cutting depth. This determines how many cuts will be taken to reach the final depth.

F0.0909 is the feed rate. The threading feed rate is the thread distance per revolution. The calculation for this thread having 11 threads per inch is 1 divided by 11 which is equals to 0.090909.

THREADING – G92 THREADING CYCLE THREADING – G92 THREADING CYCLE

N95 G92 X.5135 Z-0.8 F0.0909 N97 G92 X.5135 Z-0.8 F0.0909 At block N95 and N97 the G92 threading cycle is used after the G76 cycle to cut the thread in two single passes both at the same depth.

G92 is being used in the Example program to perform two “spring passes”


The G92 is a modal canned cycle. It can be used for simple threading. Once the first G92 block is input with all the relevant values, additional threading cuts can be made by just the input of the desired X value.

X0.5135 is the root diameter of the .625-11 UNC thread. The root diameter was identified in the Machinery’s Handbook. Z-0.8 is the absolute Z-axis target location. This is 0.050 past the end of the thread.

F0.0909 is the feed rate. The threading feed rate is the thread distance per revolution. The calculation for this thread having 11 threads per inch is 1 divided by 11 which is equals to 0.090909.
