1.1 smart.Turn and ISO
Programming
The MANUALplus supports the following types of NC programming:
Conventional DIN/ISO programming: You program the basic
contour with line segments, circular arcs and simple turning cycles.
Use the smart.Turn editor in ISO mode.
“DIN PLUS” (ISO) programming: The geometrical description of
the workpiece and the machining process are separated. You first
program the geometry of the blank and finished part. Then you
machine the workpiece, using contour-related turning cycles. Use
the smart.Turn editor in ISO mode.
smart.Turn programming: The geometrical description of the
workpiece and the machining process are separated. You program
the geometry of the blank and finished part, and you program the
machining blocks as units. Use the smart.Turn editor in unit mode.
Depending on the type and complexity of your machining task, you can
use either simple DIN/ISO programming, “DIN PLUS” (ISO)
programming or smart.Turn programming. All three named
programming modes can be combined in one NC program.
In DIN PLUS and smart.Turn programming, contours can be described
with ICP interactive graphics. ICP saves the contour descriptions as
G codes in the NC program.
Parallel operation: While you are editing and testing programs, your
machine can execute another NC program.
Contour follow-up
The MANUALplus uses the contour follow-up function in DIN PLUS
and smart.Turn programs. The MANUALplus takes the blank part as a
basis and accounts for each cut and each cycle when regenerating the
contour. Thus you can inspect the current contour of the workpiece
during each machining stage. With the “contour follow-up” function,
the MANUALplus optimizes the paths for approach and departure and
avoids noncutting passes.
Contour regeneration is only available for turning operations when a
blank part has been programmed. It also works with auxiliary contours.
