OVERVIEW 

 
In the program of the fixed form processing with the custom macro, 
the operator select the processing pattern on the menu screen and 
specified the size, number and so on to the variable on the custom 
macro screen. As above mentioned, this function enables users to 
perform programming simply without programming using an existing 
NC language. 
With the aid of this function, a machine tool builder can prepare the 
program of a hole machining cycle (such as a boring cycle or tapping 
cycle) using the custom macro function, and can store it into the 
program memory. 
This cycle is assigned pattern names, such as BOR1, TAP3, and 
DRL2. 
An operator can select a pattern from the menu of pattern names 
displayed on the screen. 
Data (pattern data) which is to be specified by the operator should be 
created in advance with variables in a drilling cycle. 
The operator can identify these variables using names such as DEPTH, 
RETURN RELIEF, FEED, MATERIAL or other pattern data names. 
The operator assigns values (pattern data) to these names.

 

The operator selects the pattern on the menu screen, and the selected 
pattern number is assigned to the system variable. The custom macro 
of the selected pattern can be started by starting a program then 
referring to the system variable in the program.

EXPLANATION

 

 
This function is consist of Pattern menu screen and Custom macro 
screen. 
The process pattern is selected on the pattern menu screen. 
Then the process pattern is selected, the custom macro screen is 
displayed. 
On this custom macro screen, the variable with the name and coment 
is displayed according to the selected process pattern. 
The process data can be input by referring to the variable name with 
the numerical value on the drawing. 
 
The following is the example for the pattern menu and the custom 
macro.

(2)  Custom macro screen 
 

The name of varialbe and comment can be displayed on the usual 
custom macro screen. 

 

The menu title and pattern name on the pattern menu screen and 
the variable name on the custom macro screen can be defined 

 

The position of the comment displayed on the custom macro 
screen can be selected by setting bit 0 (POC) of parameter No. 
11318. 

 

On 15-inch display unit, the comment is displayed at only bottom 
of the custom macro screen.

Select the pattern on this screen 
The following two methods are effective. 

•

 

Selection by cursor 

 

Move the cursor to the pattern name with the cursor move keys 

, 

  and press the softkey [SELECT] or 

. 

•

 

Selection by setting of pattern number 

 

The number that is displayed in the left side of the pattern name 
is input and press the softkey [select] or 

. 

 
The selected pattern number is registered to system variable #5900. 
The custom macro of the selected pattern can be started by starting a 
fixed program (external program No. search) with an external signal. 
This program refers to the system variable #5900 in the program. This 
system variable #5900 is kept after power-off.
