1.1The system's description

The C-502 is a computerized turning machine system for sliver processing plastic, hard wood and soft metal products. The system enables us to manufacture products from these materials. The system includes a spindle motor operated by a DC motor.

The processed material is tightened into the spindle bore. The turning tool is installed on a table, which moves on two axes (X and Z).

The processed material is a round rod that rotates and the turning tool movement on X direction cuts it on its perimeter.

The turning tool movement on Z direction is along the rod.

The movement of each axis is done by a DC motor, which includes a magnetic encoder with hall effect sensors. The encoder outputs pulses according to the motor's rotation.

The system is located inside a metal structure with a transparent door in the front. The door operates a magnetic switch when it is closed.

The system includes a computerized control unit. The control unit operates the motors, receives the pulses from the encoders and operates the DC motor of the spindle. The system stops each time the front door is opened.

A computerized system for sliver processing is called CNC (Computerized Numeric Control). The system's controller receives data, which determine the movement of the turning tool (location and speed) and moves it accordingly in a controlled manner.

A special language was created for CNC machines called G&M-Code. This language is a universal language and despite this, each machine has its own unique commands. This book describes the C-502 command set and the system's programming method.

The programming language enables us to create programming files, where each file is designated to manufacture a certain product (or part). The files are saved in the computer's disk. In this way, we can manufacture a certain part in the same level of accuracy and unity at each manufacturing, even if the first manufacturing was a long time ago.

The CNC system enables us to manufacture the exact amount of products we need. All it takes is to load the computer with the appropriate file and run the program. This process turned the manufacturing significantly flexible. Flexibility means an easy transfer from one product to another. These machines are called FMS (Flexible Manufacturing Systems).

The C-502 system is accompanied with the S-LATHE software. This software enables us to create and edit a G&M-Code file and run it.

Running the file can be done in two ways by simulation or by operating the machine.

In the simulation method, the software draws the turning tool movement on the screen.

In the machine operation method, the computer sends a movement commands to the system's control unit and the control unit executes the processing.1.2G&M-Code language

The G-Code language is a very simple programming language and this is the secret of its popularity.

The programming file is a text file written by a text editor (a simple word processing).

The programming rules are as follows:

Every instruction to the machine should start with the letter G or M (this is the reason for the name G&M-Code).

The software ignores lines that do not start with the letter G or M.

For example, G1 X10 Z-35 F250 meaning:

Move in straight line (on X-Z plane) to point X, Z = 10,-35 from the current location at feed of 250 millimeters per minute.

All the parameters should be given in millimeters.

S-LATHE software allows using the decimal point. i.e.: G1 X10.5 Z20.7Important Note

S-LATHE uses point as decimal point. Computers that are set to comma as decimal point must be changed to point as decimal point. It is done in the 'Regional and language options' on the 'Control Panel'.

The parameters are optional. It means that the current value of a parameter that is not indicated in an instruction remains without change.

We use the '/' sign to indicate relative values.

i.e.: G1 X/7.3 Z/-5 which means:

move 7.3 millimeters forward on X and 5 millimeters backward on Z from the current location at previous feed.

The S-LATHE G-Code instruction set:1) G0 Xxx Zzz: Idle movement on straight line (in a Cartesic axes system) to point xx,zz at maximum speed.

Examples:

G0 X2 Z-30

G0 Z15.2

2) G1 Xxx Zzz Fff:

Turning movement on straight line (in a Cartesic axes system) to point xx,zz at ff speed.

Examples:

G1 X1 Z-30

G1 Z15.2

3) G10 Rrr Ccc Iii Kkk:

Idle movement on straight line (in a Polar axes system) to point on a circle's perimeter at maximum speed.

R is the circle radius.

C is the angle (in degrees) of the point.

I and K are the X,Z coordinates of the center of the circle.

Examples:

G10 R10 C30 I25 K20

G10 C180

4) G11 Rrr Ccc Iii Kkk Fff:

Turning movement on straight line (in a Polar axes system) to point on a circle's perimeter at ff speed.

R is the circle radius.

C is the angle of the point.

I and K are the X,Z coordinates of the center of the circle.

Examples:

G11 R10 C30 I25 K20 F2000

G11 C180

5) G02 Iii Kkk Rrr Ccc Eee Fff: Clockwise turning circular movement (arch) at ff feed.

R is the circle radius.

C is the angle (in degrees) of the starting point.

E is the angle (in degrees) of the ending point.

Note:

The instruction G02 means move in a straight line to the arch starting point (indicated by C) and then to the arch ending point (indicated by E).

Examples:

G1 X-5

G1 Z-30

G2 K-30 I-6 C90 E0 R1

G2 Z2 X-6

6) G03 Iii Kkk Rrr Ccc Eee Fff:

Examples:

G1 X-5

G1 Z-30

G3 I-5 K-31 C180 E220 R1 F150

G3 Z2 X-6

7) G4:"Wait" instruction, usually applied for stopping in order to replace the turning tool or the processed material.

A message appears on the screen and the PC waits for clicking OK to continue.

M-Code instruction set:

1) M4 Sss - Command to start the spindle Motor CCW at ss speed in RPM.

2) M5 - Command to stop the spindle Motor.

1.3Installing the S-LATHE software

The S-LATHE is a WINDOWS application turning program.

1) Turn ON the PC.

2) Using "My Computer" functions, copy the S-LATHE sub-directory from the diskette to the hard disk.

3) Create a short-cut to the software S-LATHE.exe, which is in the S-LATHE sub-directory.

4) Move this short-cut to the desktop window.

To run the S-LATHE software you have to double click over this icon.

1.4Operating the system

The C-502 power supply is an external power supply that supplies low DC voltage to the C-502 controller. The C-502 controller communicates with the PC in serial communication (RS232 or USB).

The power supply is connected to the C-502 by two wires.

The C-5021 controller communication socket and RST pushbutton are located on the right panel.

Step 1:Connect the red wire to the + (red) terminal of the power supply.

Connect the red and black wire to the (black) terminal of the power supply.

Step 2:The serial communication cable (CBL-1) is a 3 wire cable with a D-connector on one side and an earphone plug on the other side.

Connect the D-connector to the serial communication outlet of the PC (COM1 or COM2) and the earphone plug to the earphone inlet.

Step 3:Connect the power supply of the C-502 to the Mains.

Step 4:C-502 has an emergency pushbutton on the front panel.

Turn it ON by turning it to the right. The pushbutton will go out.

Step 5:Turn ON the power supply Main switch.

Step 6:Press the RST pushbutton.

Step 7:Click with the mouse over the S-LATHE icon on your desktop.

An introductory screen will appear on the screen.

Step 8:Use the mouse or press [Alt+F] and look at the sub-functions of the FILE function. Move right and left with the arrows or with the mouse and observe the other functions and their sub-functions.

Step 9:Select the OPTIONS function.

Select the COM port.

Select the PC COM port and click OK.

Step 10:Select the OPTIONS function again.

Now select the INITIAL MACHINE Sub-function.

This function initializes the C-502 controller and loads it with the turning machine program.

The program is loaded into non-volatile memory of the controller.

This initialization should be done once while installing the C-502.

Step 11:If there is no communication between the PC and C-502, do the following:

a) Check the communication cable connections.

b) Press RST.

c) Check the COM port. If it is necessary, change the COM port number by selecting the OPTIONS function and the COM port sub-function.

d) Initial the C-502 controller again by the OPTIONS function and the INITIAL MACHINE sub-function.

Step 12:Select the OPTIONS function again.

Now select the SAVE CONFIGURATION sub-function.

From now on, the definitions you have selected are stored in the configuration file and will be the system's default.

1.5Monitor

Step 1:Click over the MONITOR function and the CNC MONITOR sub-function.

The monitor screen will appear.

The monitor window enables us to control the C-502 manually and to bring the material and the turning tool to home position (the turning start point).

Step 2:The C-502 has 2 limit switches that indicate the absolute home position for each axis.

The monitor has two home check points (Home X and Home Z). Clicking over the check points add/delete the ( mark in the check point.

Clicking over the GO TO MACHINE HOME button returns the marked axis to home position.

Mark all the two axes and click on the GO TO MACHINE HOME button.

Important Note:

After turning on the C-502 or pressing 'RST', the monitor command 'GO TO MACHINE HOME' for all dimensions (X,Z) must be instructed in order to synchronized the interface with the system location.

Step 3:The button "Start Spindle Motor" turns ON the spindle.

Close the C-502 door and click over the "Start Spindle Motor" button.

The motor turns ON and starts speeding according to the speed bar.

Move the speed bar and press the "Start Spindle Motor" button again.

Note:

Changing the bar will not change the speed.

The speed is changed only on pressing the "Start Spindle Motor" button.

Step 4:Open the transparent door and the turning motor stops.

Important Note:

If the movement motors rotate, you must take care to stop them by clicking over the 'Stop' button on the screen or pressing RST.

For emergency stop, press the emergency button.

Step 5:Close the door and the motor runs again.

Important Note:

Do not move the motor on any dimension when the turning motor is OFF.

Step 6:You can move the turning tool (X-Z movement) by using the UP-DOWN buttons for each axis.

Check that.

Step 7:You can determine steps for each axis (positive or negative) using the steps field and also to determine the movement feed in millimeter per minute.

Check that in different ways.

Step 8:You can define any point as the project home using the button 'Define Project Point'.

Click on the 'Define Project Point' button and the X,Z fields of the project are set to zero.

Step 9:Move the system using the arrow keys and X,Z fields will be updated accordingly.

Step 10:Click over the button 'Go To Project Home' and the system will return to the defined project home point.

Check that.

Experiment 1.1 Turning Processing

Objectives:

Writing the first turning program according to a drawing.

Understanding turning processing.

Running the program on simulation.

Equipment required:

PC computer

S-LATHE software

Discussion:

In turning we have several processing types: Turning, Grooving and Threading.

The processed material (a rod of metal, plastic or wood) is installed in the spindle bore and rotates fast.

When the turning tool goes on Z dimension, it removes slivers from the perimeter of the rod (like peeling).

The turning tool speed on Z direction should not be faster than the spindle rotation.

When the Z movement is faster than the spindle rotation we get a thread.

When the turning tool goes on X direction only into the rod, it creates a groove along its perimeter.

The turning drawing shows only half of the part projection. This is enough because of the complete symmetry. The drawing includes a symmetry axis.

In the experiments that follow we will process the part shown in the following figure.

Figure 1-1

The symbol indicates the project home position. It is also the origin of the axes. The X,Z absolute values relate to this point.

The numbers a he right show the distance from the home project on X axis.

The processing process is done by turning one millimeter at a time as described in the figure 1-1.

With a special turning tool and on grooving process we cut off the required processed material from its base. The rod is cut when the groove depth is equal to the rod's radius.

We define the starting point outside the main material.

We turn an extra part in front of the required processing area. This part is called 'Face' or 'Forehead'.

Usually, we use a rod with a diameter greater than required and we turn it to the required diameter, in order to ensure straight and symmetrical rod.

In this experiment we will turn a 20 mm rod into 18 mm rod above the cut off position. This also processes area No. 1.

Important note:

Because the setup of the turning tool can be done only on the unprocessed rod, we will run the program on simulation until we have a complete turning program.

Warning:

Dont cut more than 1mm each time.

Cutting more than 1mm can brake the tool or jam the machine.

Understanding arch processing.

Equipment required:

PC computer

S-LATHE software

Discussion:

An arch is part of a circle. To define an arch we define the center of its circle and the starting point on the circle's perimeter (see the description of G2 and G3 instructions).

Figure 1-2

Area No.3 includes an arch and its center is at points X=-8 and Z=-36. Check that.

Because the radius of the arch is 2mm only, we will process the arch in two stages.

The arch at the first stage is from 150o to 180o.

Figure 1-3

The arch at the second stage is from 150o to 90o.

Figure 1-4

The second arch at range 6 has 4mm radius. We shall divide the arch to 4 stages.

Figure 1-5

The angles are: 14.5o, 30o, 48.6o and 90o.

The arch at the first stage is from C = -48.6o to E = -90o.

Figure 1-6

The arch at the second stage is from C = -30o to E = -48.6o.

Figure 1-7

Turning tool

80 x 20mm plastic rod

Procedure:

Step 1:Design a decorated rod.

Step 2:Draw your design and after that convert it into a G&M-Code program.

Step 3:Run the program on simulation until you have a satisfactory program.

Step 4:Install a plastic rod into the C-502 spindle and process it as described in the previous experiment (steps 13-22).

1.6SIEMENS screen

Step 1:Click over the MONITOR function and the SIEMENS sub-function.

The SIEMENS window will appear.

The FANUC window is a simulation of FANUC monitor of CNC system.

This window acts as a monitor window that enables us to control the C-502 manually and to bring the material and the cutter to home position (the milling start point).

This window also enables to write G&M code programs, to save them, to open and edit G&M code programs and to run them.

Monitor Functions

Step 2:The C-502 has 2 limit switches that indicate the absolute home position for each axis.

Clicking over the GO TO MACHINE HOME button returns the marked axis to home position.

Check that.

Important Note:

After turning on the C-502 or pressing 'RST', the monitor command 'GO TO MACHINE HOME' for all dimensions (X,Y,Z) must be instructed in order to synchronized the interface with the system location.

Step 3:The button "Spindle" turns ON the spindle turning motor.

Close the C-502 door and click over the "Spindle" button.

Step 4:Open the transparent door and the milling motor stops.

Important Note:

If the movement motors rotate, you must take care to stop them by clicking over the 'Stop' button on the screen or pressing RST.

For emergency stop, press the emergency button.

Step 5:Close the door and the motor runs again.

Step 6:You can move the cutter (X-Z movement) by using the arrow buttons for each axis.

The monitor displays the current position of the machine in the X,Z fields on the blue screen.

Check that.

Step 7:You can determine movement length in millimeter per each arrow button click.

Change that 'Fine Move' field and check.

Step 8:You can determine movement speed in millimeter per minute.

Change that 'FEED' field and check.

Step 9:You can define any point as the project home using the button 'Define Project Point'.

Click on the 'Define Project Point' button and the X,Z fields of the project are set to zero.

Step 10:Move the system using the arrow keys and X,Z fields will be updated accordingly.

Step 11:Click over the button 'Go To Project Home' and the system will return to the defined project home point.

Check that.

Program Functions

Step 1:The left side of the window is for program writing and editing. The program is written in the blue screen on the top.

You can click on the keyboard buttons such as letters, digits and functions (Space, Back space, Enter and Delete). Clicking the Shift key shifts the function of the buttons from one to the other.

This is a simulation of using a machine keyboard.

On the other hand, you can use the PC keyboard to write and edit your program.

Click on the left side of the blue screen to move the cursor to there and type the following program.

M4S2000

G0X-9

G1Z-66 F200

G1X-10 Z-70

G0Z0

M5

Step 2:Save the program using the 'Save As' button.

Step 3:Click over the 'Simulation' button.

Step 4:Run the program on simulation mode.

The simulation screen will be automatically open and will display the simulation run.

Step 5:Install the material (80x20mm plastic rod) into the C-502 spindle and tighten it.

Step 6:Using the monitor buttons, bring the turning tool near the edge position of the rod as described in the following figure.

Step 7:Turn ON the turning motor and approach the turning tool slowly until it touches the rod.

Step 8:Using the MONITOR buttons, move the turning tool 1mm to the right and 10mm to the center of the rod.

Step 9:Press the "DEFINE PFOJECT HOME" button.

Step 10:Click on the 'Machine' button in order to operate the system.

Step 11:Press the "DEFINE PROJECT HOME" button.

Step 12:Click on the 'RUN' button.

The system should mill the material according to the program.

Step 13:You can open any written 'TAP' program using the 'Open' button, edit it on the screen and save it back using the 'Save' button.

Try that.
