● ShopTurn offers optimum assistance when it comes to entering technological values: You

only have to enter the handbook values feedrate (or feed) and cutting rate - the speed is

calculated by ShopTurn automatically.

● ShopTurn enables you to describe a complete machining sequence using only one work

step, and the required positioning motions (in this case, from the tool change point to the

workpiece and back) are created automatically.

● All work steps are represented by ShopTurn in a compact and clear fashion in the

Graphical Process Plan. This provides you a complete overview and thus better editing

possibilities even if comprehensive manufacturing sequences are to be performed.

● During stock removal, for example, several machining operations and contours can be

linked together.

● You can optimize tool selection during the stock removal of contours:

Large volumes are removed using roughing tools, any residual material ① is then

detected and removed automatically using a pointed tool.

● The exact specification of the selected retraction plane avoids the use of unnecessary

traversing paths and thereby saves valuable manufacturing time. This is possible using

the settings normal, extended and all.

In this section you will learn the basics of ShopTurn operation with the help of examples.

3.1

Using ShopTurn

A powerful software is one thing, but it must also be easy to operate. Regardless of whether

you work with the SINUMERIK 840D sl or SINUMERIK 828D shown here - you are always

assisted by the clearly laid-out machine operator panel. The operator panel consists of 3

parts - the flat operator panel ①, the CNC full keyboard ② and the machine control panel

(MCP) ③.

Basics for beginners

This section explains the general basics of the geometry and technology for turning. No

inputs for ShopTurn are planned yet.

4.1

Geometrical basics

4.1.1

Tool axes and work planes

During turning, it is the workpiece, and not the tool, that rotates. The axis is the Z axis.

● G18 plane = machining with turning tools

● G17 plane = drilling and milling operations on the front face

● G19 plane = drilling and milling operations on the peripheral surface

Since the diameter of the turned workpieces is relatively easy to control, the dimensions of

the transverse axis are based on the diameter. This means that you can directly compare the

actual dimensions with the dimensions in the drawing.

4.1.2

Points in the work space

Various important reference points are provided for a CNC - such as the SINUMERIK 828D

with ShopTurn - for orientation in the working space by means of the measuring system.

Turning made easy with ShopTurn

Training Documents, 09/2011, 6FC5095-0AB80-1BP1

31

Basics for beginners

4.1 Geometrical basics

Machine zero (M)

The machine zero (M) is specified by the manufacturer and cannot be changed. It lies in the

origin of the machine coordinate system.

Workpiece zero (W)

The workpiece zero (W) - also called program zero - is the origin of the workpiece coordinate

system. It can be selected freely and should be located at a point from which the most

dimensions start in the drawing.

Reference point (R)

The reference point (R) is approached to set the measuring system to zero, as the machine

zero cannot be approached in most cases. Thus, the control system finds the start of

counting in the position measuring system.

Toolholder reference point T

Toolholder reference point T is used to set up machines with tool revolvers with default tools.

Its position and location hole permit setup with cutter holders for shank tools in accordance

with DIN 69880 and VDI 3425.

Circular motions

In accordance with DIN, circular arcs are specified with the end point of the arc (X and Z

coordinates in the G18 plane) and the center point (I and K in the G18 plane).

The ShopTurn contour calculator gives you the freedom to use any dimension from the

drawing for circular arcs, without having to carry out conversions.

The following example shows two circular arcs, one of which is only partially determined.

Technological basics

4.2.1

Cutting rate and speeds

The cutting rate is usually directly programmed for turning, in particular for roughing, finishing

and plunge-cutting. The speed is programmed only for drilling and (usually) for thread

cutting.

Determination of the cutting rate

First, the optimum cutting rate is determined using either the manufacturer catalogs or a

handbook.

Material of the tool:

Hard metal

Material of the workpiece:

Machining steel

Value:

vc = 180 m/min

Constant cutting rate v_c (G96) for rough cutting, finishing and plunge-cutting:

To ensure that the selected cutting rate

remains constant for each workpiece

diameter, the control uses the G96 command

(= constant cutting rate) to adjust the

appropriate speed. This is performed using

direct-current or frequency-controlled three-

phase motors. As the diameter reduces, the

speed will theoretically increase to infinity. To

prevent danger caused by excessive

centrifugal forces, a speed limitation

of n = 3000 rpm, for example, must be

programmed.

In DIN format, the block would have the

following form:

G96 S180 LIMS=3000

(LIMS = limit).

38

Training Documents, 09/2011, 6FC5095-0AB80-1BP1

Basics for beginners

4.2 Technological basics

Constant speed n (G97) for drilling and thread cutting:

Since a constant speed is used for drilling, the command G97 (= constant speed) must be

used here.

The speed is dependent on the desired cutting rate (120 m/min selected here) and the tool

diameter.

The inputs are then G97 S1900.

4.2.2

Feed

In the previous chapter, you learned how to determine the cutting rate and the speed. The

tool can only perform machining if the cutting rate or the speed is assigned a tool feedrate.

Determination of the feed

Like the cutting rate, the value for the feed is also taken from the handbook, the documents

of the tool manufacturer or from empirical knowledge.

Cutting material of the tool:

Hard metal

Material of the workpiece:

Machining steel

Determined value (handbook):

f = 0.2 - 0.4 mm

The mean value will be chosen:

f = 0.3 mm
