 CNC Home Screen (Mill)

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Program Edit
1. Press F2 in the Home
screen to write a new
program. Please refer App
manual for examples.
2. Alternatively, one can also
load or modify existing NC
file from File manager.
3. Then press F7 to watch
the simulation.

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Program Edit

• F1/F2 to watch stepwise /

continuous simulation
• F3/F4 to zoom in/reset the
graph
• F5 to change settings of
your simulation

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Simulation setting
The setting window adjusts
these graph parameters:
•Draw Mode
Select view angles base on XYZ,
XY, YZ, or XZ.
•Simu Mode
•Color
•View Angle
•Scope
•Range

 Simulation Modes
Three Simulation Modes:
1.Simulation : When operator changes his
main screen to F4 ”Monitor” , CNC would
automatically display simulation on the
screen.
2. Direct draw : In this mode, cursor will
show up but simulation will not execute
automatically. User need to define the
simulation boundary first. When the
machining starts, cursor will follow up as
well.
3.No Simulation : Stops the simulation
function.

 Execute
1. Press F1 in the program edit screen to
execute the code.
2. Press F4 for Parameter Set to switch the
status window in right-top corner
3. Start Block : In the lower screen , we can
enter value in Start Block no. to begin the
code execution directly from that
particular line.
4. Press F5 for Tool wear set.

 Part Count
1. We can input Required part count
number so when the total number
of part count is reached , a
message window will pop up to
notify user.
2. In the Part count box, user can see
an increament each time one part
is completed.
3. Also make sure parameter 3804 is
set to designate a specific M code
for counting.

 MPG Coordinate
1. In Execute , press F6 to start MPG
Coordinate
2. Modifying the coordinate system while
processing.
3. In a certain block, if user inserts a
displacement by hand wheel, the
remaining blocks will process with this
displacement vector until process
finishes.
4. After pressing, current state of MPG shift
coordinate system will be shown.
5. While turning the wheel, the
displacement will add up into MPG shift
coordinate system and program
coordinate remains unchanged.

 Can Cycle
1. F2 Program→F4 Can Cycle
2. To insert a required G cod
e from list of codes.
3. Press F1 to select
InsertCycle. We then
choose Linear
Cutting(G01)

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Can Cycle
• As shown in the adjoining
figure, we can add a G code
for linear cutting in our
existing code by just
providing input parameters
as shown in the adjacent
figure.

 Offset setting
Home → F3 Offset/Settings
•In the offset setting, we need
to frequently use WorkPiece
Cord. Or Tool Tip measurement
•WorPiece Cord is used for wor
kpiece coordinate setting purp
ose.
•After setting the workpiece co
ordinate, user need to check th
e tool length again.

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Workpiece Coordinate
1. Press F1 in offset setting screen
and press F1 again to choose
Mach. Cord. Teach
2. Set current mechanical coordinat
e value into work piece coordinat
e
3. For eg. say current mechanical co
ordinate of X axis is 5.000 and cu
rrent value of X axis of G54 is 0.0
00
4. Move the cursor to G54 X axis, pr
ess 「 Mach. Coord. Teach 」 , t
he value of X axis of G54 become
s 5.000

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Workpiece Coordinate
1. Similarly , Rel. Coord. Teach sets
the current relative coordinate va
lue into work piece coordinate.
2. Aux. Coord. Teach sets the curre
nt cursor located work piece coor
dinate value as the aux. coordinat
e value. Aux. value appears after
using middle function.
3. Inc. Input adds the work piece co
ordinate value with the manual in
put value and restores into work
piece coordinate again.

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Middle Function
1. In the workpiece coordinate , press
F5 to choose Middle func.
2. This function can help to correlate t
he middle point of the work piece.
3. User controls the machine by MPG,
and then moves the tip of 3D machi
ne to the X&Y end point of the wor
kpiece.
4. This system will calculate the center
point, and save to Aux. Coord
5. Return to WorkPiece Coord. To
teach Aux. Coord. to G54.

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Mid point calculation (Manual)
1. Move the machine by MPG, touching Px1 point in the
previous slide figure and then press PX1 Set. Similarly set
PX2.
2. The system will record the current mechanical coord. to Px1
and other to Px2.
3. It will also compute the middle point of Px1 and Px2 and put
s the result on Pxm. Similarly calculate Pym.
4. Now, the values of Pxm and Pym are the middle point of the
workpiece.

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Mid point calculation (Auto)
• User only needs to enter the dimension of the workpiece and
enter the boundary coordinate.
• Move the machine to the start point, system will find out the
middle point automatically.

 Tool Tip measure
1. We need to measure the length
of the tool again when a new
tool is loaded in order to
compensate the correct tool
length to the processing path.
2. Delta z set is mainly used to
measure the distance between
the surface of the work piece
and the tool calibrator when a
new work piece is replaced and
the system will note the value to
external shift.

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Tool Tip measure
1. For Single tool Single workpiece,
Tool length is stored in G54 while
delta z is saved in the external
shift column. This can be
checked in Offset setting screen.
2. For Single tool Multi-workpiece,
the tool length will be saved in
external shift while delta z in
G54.
3. For Multi tool Multi-workpiece ,
tool length will be stored in Tool
table while delta z in G54.

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Tool tip measurement

1. Reference Cord. X : This

field can first move spindle
to new auto tool position
coordinate and by
using 【 XY Ref. Cord.
teach 】 function, correct
the location of the auto
tool reference point in X-
axis
2. Similarly for Ref Coord. Y.

 Milling- Incremental coordinate input
1. If you wish to set
Incremental coordinate
system , input character ‘I’
and then press Enter
2. In this system , all of the
coordinates are measured
from its previous or
current coordinate point.

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Milling- Absolute coordinate input
1. If you wish to set Absolute
coordinate system , input
character ‘A’ and then
press Enter
2. In this system , all of the
coordinates are measured
from one fixed point.

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Lathe- Incremental coordinate input
1. If you wish to set
Incremental coordinate
system , input character ‘I’
and then press Enter
2. In this system , all of the
coordinates are measured
from its previous or
current coordinate point.

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Lathe- Absolute coordinate input
1. If you wish to set Absolute
coordinate system , input
character ‘A’ and then
press Enter
2. In this system , all of the
coordinates are measured
from one fixed point.

SYNTEC Syntec Technology Co.,LTD

 Lathe dual Program editor
• During lathe operation ,
since there are two axis
groups , we need to use
dual program editor to edit
programs for different axis
groups.
• Adjoining figure displays
dual program editor

 G92 : SETTING OF WORK COORDINATE SYSTEM
1. When we design a program, we
must set another program
coordinate origin for the tool, we
can use G92 to set a new
coordinate system.
2. This command is used to set a
new origin of coordinate system
when the tool is at any position,
after setting tool will start to
perform machining from this
point, absolute mode is used by
this new coordinate system.
