12. GRAPHICS FUNCTION
B–63684EN/01
OPERATION
670
Since drawing is done under such a condition as MACHINE LOCK,
the modal information, absolute coordinate value, etc. are updated.
When the mode is switched from the machining operation mode to the
drawing mode, the following information is stored.
(1)Relative coordinate value (RELATIVE)
(2)Work coordinate system value (ABSOLUTE)
(3)Machine coordiante system value (MACHINE)
(4)T code
(5)Tool position offset
After drawing, the stored information is restored as before, and the
mode is switched to the machining operation mode after heading of the
drawn program.
NOTE
1 None of the execution of dwell (G04), sending of M, S, T
codes, and sending of the press start signal is done.
2 Output signals OP, STL, SPL, AL are sent to the machine
tool even during drawing in the same way as in normal
machining operation.
3 Input signals ERS, *SP, *ESP, ST, etc. of the machine tool
are efective even during drawing. Don’t operate these
switches, accordingly.
(The single block switch SBK is ineffective.)
4 If manual reference point rerturn function is provided, the
stored stroke limit 1 is checked even during drawing. Thus,
the machine tool position must coincide with actual
machining start position before drawing start.
5 The tool profile is drawn at the end point in a block where
positioning is done even in the punch off mode using M
function or under the turned-on condition of the punch off
switch on the machine tool side.
6 If the tool profile code of the designated T code is 00, mark
(*) is drawn.
7 Machining operation is not executed in the drawing mode.
Drawing is not attempted halfway during machining
operation.
8 It is impossible to draw a helically interpolated figure.
