Changing the “Graphic view” on the blank

The graphical view on the blank can be changed in the operating area “Program” within the functions “Edit”, “Drilling”,

“Turning”, “Contour turning” “Milling”, “Various” and “Straight Circle”.

Note:

The help pictures with the corresponding animation are only shown when the VSK 2 “Graphic view” is deselected.

The view on the blank can be changed as follows:

In the operating area “Program” within the operating mode “JOG, “MDA, or “AUTO” press the HSK 1.6

“Various”.

Activate or deactivate the VSK 2 “Graphic view” to switch the view in the parameter window between:

3-D view or help picture with animation or

Programming graphic (outline graphic).

Changing the program settings

In the operating area “Program”, within the operating mode “JOG, “MDA, or “AUTO”, press the

HSK 1.6 “Various”.

Press the VSK 1 “Settings”.

The window for the “Settings” opens.

If desired, change the graphic view in the parameter window by pressing the VSK 2 “Graphic

view”.

Enter the parameters for retract, tool change point, safety distance, speed limits or machining

sense.

Confirm your inputs by pressing the VSK 8 “Accept” or abort by pressing the VSK 7 “Cancel”.

A new program block “Settings” is inserted into the work plan (see picture below).

Transformations

To make programming easier, you can transform the coordinate

system.

Use this function, for example, to rotate the coordinate system.

Coordinate transformations only apply in the current program.

You can define displacement, rotation, scaling or mirroring.

You can select between a new or an additive coordinate transformation.

In the case of a new coordinate transformation, all previously defined

coordinate transformations are deselected.

An additive coordinate transformation acts in addition to the currently selected coordinate transformations.

Supported are:

 Offset:

For each axis, you can program an offset of the zero point.

 Rotation:

You can rotate every axis through a specific angle. A positive angle corresponds to a counter-clockwise rotation.

 Scaling:

You can specify a scale factor for the active machining plane as well as for the tool axis. The programmed coordinates

are then multiplied by this factor. Note that the scaling always refers to the zero point of the workpiece. For example, if

you increase the size of a pocket whose centre point does not coincide with the zero point, scaling will shift the centre

of the pocket.

 Mirroring:

Furthermore, you can mirror all axes. Enter the axis to be mirrored in each case. Note that with mirroring, the travel

direction of the cutting tool (conventional/climb) is also mirrored.

Work offset

You can call work offsets (G54, etc.) from any program.

You can use these offsets, for example, when you want to machine

workpieces with various blank dimensions using the same program.

The offset will, in this case, adapt the workpiece zero to the new blank.

Scaling

Scaling applies only to the current program. Besides, you can select between a new and an additive scaling.

With a new scaling, every scaling defined so far is deselected.

An additive scaling works incremental to the current selected scaling.

You can specify a scale factor for the active machining plane as well as for the tool axis. The programme coordinates are

then multiplied by this factor.

Note:

Note that the scaling always refer to the zero point of the workpiece.

For example, if you increase the size of a pocket whose centre point does not coincide with the zero point, scaling will shift

the centre of the pocket.

Basics of programming with ShopTurn

Subprograms

If you require the same machining steps in the programming of different workpieces, you can define these machining steps

in a separate subroutine. You can then call this subroutine in any program.

Identical machining steps therefore only have to be programmed once. ShopTurn does not differentiate between main pro-

gram and subprogram. This means that you can call a "standard" sequential program or G code program as subprograms in

another sequential program. In this subprogram, you can also call another subprogram. The maximum nesting depth is 8

subroutines. You cannot insert subroutines among blocks chained by the control. If you want to call a sequential ShopTurn

program as a subroutine, the program must already have been calculated once (load or simulate

program in “AUTO” operating mode). This is not necessary for G code subroutines.

The subroutine must always be stored in the NCK main memory (in a separate directory "XYZ" or in the "ShopTurn", "Part

programs", "Subprograms" directories). If you want to call a subprogram located on another drive, you can use the G code

command "EXTCALL".

Note:

Please note that, when a subprogram is called, ShopTurn evaluates the

settings in the program header of the subroutine. These settings also

remain active even after the subprogram has ended.

If you wish to activate the settings from the program header for the main program again, you can make the settings again in

the main program after calling the subprogram.

Selecting the function “Subprogram“

By pressing the VSK 6 “Subprogram” the input mask for selecting a “Subprogram” opens.

Press the VSK 1.6 “Subprogram”.

The input mask for selecting a “Subprogram” opens.

Optionally change the graphic view of the help screen by pressing the VSK 2 “Graphic view”.

Enter the path to the subprogram file into the “Path/workpiece” input field and the name of the

subprogram into the “Program name” input field.

Confirm your inputs by pressing the VSK 8 “Accept” or abort by pressing the VSK 7 “Cancel”.

A new sequential program block “Execute” with the subprogram path and name is inserted into

the work plan (see picture below).

Repeating program blocks

If certain steps in the machining of a workpiece have to be executed more than once, it is only necessary to program these

steps once.

ShopTurn offers a function for repeating program blocks.

You must enclose the program blocks that you want to repeat with a start and end marker. You can

then call these program blocks up to 9999 times again within a program. The markers must be unique, i.e. they must have

different names. No names used in the NCK can be used for this.

You can also set markers and repeats after creating the program, but not within chained program blocks.

Note:

It is also possible to use the same marker as the end marker of the preceding program blocks and as the start marker for

the following program blocks.

Selecting the function “Repeat program”

By pressing the VSK 3 “Repeat program” the vertical softkey bar with functions for repeating a

program opens.

Basics of programming with ShopTurn

ShopTurn provides various extensive and detailed simulation functions for displaying the simulation of the programmed

workpiece.

During simulation, the current program is calculated in its complete form and the result is displayed in 3D graphic form.

You can select the following modes of representation for simulation:

 Side view

 3D



2 windows

The simulation uses the correct proportions for the tools and workpiece contours.

The traverse paths for the tools are shown in colour:

Red line = tool is moving at rapid traverse

Green line = tool is moving at machining feedrate

In all views, a clock is displayed during graphical processing. The

displayed machining time (in hours/minutes/seconds) indicates the approximate time that would actually be required to exe-

cute the machining program on the machine (incl. tool change).

If a program is interrupted during simultaneous recording, the clock stops.

In addition, the current axis coordinates, the override, and the program block currently being executed are also displayed.

The active tool with the cutting edge number and feedrate are also displayed in the simulation.

Transformations are displayed differently during simulation and

simultaneous recording:

 Coordinate transformations (translation, scaling, …) are displayed as programmed.

 Cylinder surface transformations are displayed as a developed surface.

 After swivel transformation, the previous machining operations are deleted from the display and only machining of the

swivelled plane is displayed (viewing angle perpendicular to the swivelled plane).

 Zero offsets (G54, etc.) do not alter the zero in the graphical display. This means that, in the case of multiple clampings,

the machining operations for each of the individual workpieces are plotted on top of one another.

Note:

If you want to display a different portion of the workpiece from the one defined in ShopTurn, you can define a new blank in

the program.
