1.1 The ManualTurn product
The ManualTurn product with SINUMERIK 840D or SINUMERIK 810D
is a CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) for turning machines
used predominantly for conventional machining operations. The 810D
is simple and reliable to operate so as to facilitate the task of the
skilled machinist. All inputs are made in plain text in interactive dialog
and displayed graphically for checking purposes, i.e. the lathe operator
can examine the motional path of the tool before he starts the
program.
The operator panel of the CNC allows you to implement the following
basic functions (in conjunction with a machine lathe):
• Setting up and conventional turning with handwheels
• Longitudinal and taper turning, facing with feedrate per revolution
and per minute
• Execution of finishing or roughing cuts on elementary contours
• Machining with cycles in single-cycle mode
• Creation of complex contours with the option of removing stock and
finishing against the contour (option)
• Creation of parts programs for complete machining using EasyStep
programming.
• Automatic creation of parts programs in the Teach In operating
mode.
It is advisable to read Chapter 2 "Operation" carefully before working
through the other sections.
All further sections are written on the premise that you have read and
understood Chapter 2!
