2.6.2 NC Software 280 472-xx and 280 473-xx
NC software
280 472-01 (export
version 280 473-01)
Release: 04/97
Improvements:
n New function “Fast contour milling”: Cycle 32 or G62 and MP1096
n Automatic calculation of cutting data
n TCPM (Tool Center Point Management): With M128 you can superimpose
manual axial machine movements during program run, whereby the offsets
of the tilting axes are automatically compensated.
n Additional information with the HELP key
n Input menu for fixed input values is selected with the GOTO key.
n New pallet management
n Freely definable tables
n NC blocks can be transferred in spline format.
n More memory on the hard disk (1.5 GB)
n The MOD function PGM MGT enables the user to choose between
standard and extended file management.
n In the status display the positions of all nine axes are shown. The spindle
position overwrites the ninth axis.
n The progress of the copying process is shown in a pop-up window.
n The number of Q parameters was increased from 299 to 399.
n Q parameters are also permitted in FK blocks
n M110 is also effective in the contour pocket cycle
n Cycle 204: Back boring
n With MP7682 bit 2 you can define whether rotary axes should always be
positioned by the shortest path.
n It is now possible to enter a chamfering feed rate in an NC block for
chamfering (CHF).
n Cycle 19 “Working plane” has been extended with parameters for feed rate
and safety clearance. (This applies only if the cycle positions tilted axes,
which is defined in MP7500.)
n M114 can also be used with non-controlled axes or PLC axes.
n Hungarian conversational language added
n All soft keys appear in the defined conversational language.
n Language-dependent soft keys for OEM cycles
n The soft keys for FK programming do not appear until you have pressed the
FK key.
n Soft key F for feed rate in the manual operating modes
n New soft key: JOG INCREMENT OFF/ON
n New soft key: HIDE TOOLS OFF/ON: In the tool table, only the tools in the
tool magazine are displayed
n New soft keys for copying fields in the tool table
n PLC soft keys can be appended to NC soft-key rows.
n Ethernet: It is possible to enter the name of a network printer.
n The probe results of the manual probing function can be transferred
immediately to the datum tables.
n MP6170, MP6171: multiple measurement with measuring tolerance
n Separate set of calibration data for TS and TT for every traverse range
