Special symbols 

This manual uses the following symbols: 
 

 - 

M

 

Indicates a description that is valid only for the machine center system 
set as system control type (in parameter No. 0983). 
In a general description of the method of machining, a machining 
center system operation is identified by a phase such as "for milling 
machining". 
 

 - 

T

 

Indicates a description that is valid only for the lathe system set as 
system control type (in parameter No. 0983). 
In a general description of the method of machining, a lathe system 
operation is identified by a phrase such as "for lathe cutting". 
 

 - 

 

Indicates the end of a description of a system control type. 
When a system control type mark mentioned above is not followed by 
this mark, the description of the system control type is assumed to 
continue until the next item or paragraph begins.  In this case, the next 
item or paragraph provides a description common to the control types. 
 

 - 

IP

 

Indicates a combination of axes such as X_ Y_ Z_ 
In the underlined position following each address, a numeric value 
such as a coordinate value is placed (used in PROGRAMMING.). 
 

 -  ; 

Indicates the end of a block. It actually corresponds to the ISO code 
LF or EIA code CR.

The above servo motors and the corresponding spindles can be 
connected to the CNC covered in this manual. In the 

α

i

 SV series, 

they can be connected only to upgrade versions. In the 

β

i

 SVSP series, 

they cannot be connected. 
This manual mainly assumes that the FANUC SERVO MOTOR 

α

i

 

series of servo motor is used. For servo motor and spindle information, 
refer to the manuals for the servo motor and spindle that are actually 
connected.

NOTES ON READING THIS MANUAL 

 

 CAUTION 

1  The function of an CNC machine tool system 

depends not only on the CNC, but on the 
combination of the machine tool, its magnetic 
cabinet, the servo system, the CNC, the operator's 
panels, etc. It is too difficult to describe the function, 
programming, and operation relating to all 
combinations. This manual generally describes these 
from the stand-point of the CNC. So, for details on a 
particular CNC machine tool, refer to the manual 
issued by the machine tool builder, which should take 
precedence over this manual. 

2  In the header field of each page of this manual, a 

chapter title is indicated so that the reader can 
reference necessary information easily. 
By finding a desired title first, the reader can 
reference necessary parts only. 

3  This manual describes as many reasonable variations 

in equipment usage as possible. It cannot address 
every combination of features, options and commands 
that should not be attempted. 

 

If a particular combination of operations is not 
described, it should not be attempted.

NOTES ON VARIOUS KINDS OF DATA 

 

 CAUTION 

 Machining 

programs, 

parameters, offset data, etc. 

are stored in the CNC unit internal non-volatile 
memory. In general, these contents are not lost by 
the switching ON/OFF of the power. However, it is 
possible that a state can occur where precious data 
stored in the non-volatile memory has to be deleted, 
because of deletions from a maloperation, or by a 
failure restoration. In order to restore rapidly when 
this kind of mishap occurs, it is recommended that 
you create a copy of the various kinds of data 
beforehand.
