1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROGRAM :
To machine a component on a CNC lathe, informations like co-ordinate values and other
technical data which indicate, how, a tool should be moved in relation to a work piece to
achieve a desired machining form, is to be given in the form of coded instructions to the
control unit. These informations are called a PART PROGRAM.
The data in the program block are namely :

a. Dimensional data (geometrical) and
b. Control data
Control data contains informations like preparatory functions and auxiliary function data
like turret index, coolant ON / OFF etc.,
1.2 AXIS NOMENCLATURE :

Standard right hand Cartesian co-ordinate system is used. Always cutting tool moves with
respect to the work piece.
X-AXIS : Always parallel to the work-holding surface or perpendicular to main axis.
Z-AXIS : It is always the main spindle axis.
Refer figure 1 for the nomenclature.

2. PROGRAM STRUCTURE :
Part program comprises of a string of blocks written one after the other. When writing a program,
a particular syntax is to be followed.
As per part program structure :
A. Program starts with program number.
B. Consists of series of blocks dimensional and non-dimensional data like feed, speed,
auxiliary functions etc.,
C. Program ends with program end code.
Character for program start, precedes the first block in the part program.
Character for main program start is given by O
To start program 1 O 0001
To start program 2 O 0002
Program start can also be called as program numbering. The program number is useful in
identification of a program and calling a program.
Similar to main program we have sub-routine program. Sub-routine program is also called
sub-program. A sub-program could contain a fixed sequence or frequently repeated
pattern.
Character for a sub-routine program start is also given by O
To start sub-program 1 O
To start sub-program 2 O
Character for program end is written in the last block of the part program.
Character for main program end is M02 or M30.
Character for sub-program end is M99
A sub-program can also call another sub-program upto two levels.
Sub-program call :
Example : M98 P .
No. of times Sub-program number.

Sub-program
is called
repeatedly
3. PROGRAM BLOCKS :
Program blocks contain data required to execute an operation. It is possible to write the program
blocks with or without a sequence number. Sequence number is given at the block head. It need
not be consecutive. It is used for the convenience of the operator. Sequence number is of 4 digits.
Examples :
* N0005 G00X20.Z5. ; Program block written with block number.
G00X20.Z5. ; Program block written without block number.
All the blocks end with block end character ; or
If no block number is given or same block number is given to several blocks, then there cannot be
a defined program jump or block search.
7
4. WORD :
A program is made up a number of blocks. Similarly a block is made up a number of words.
A word consists of an address character and a string of digits (alphanumeric character).
An address character is normally an alphabet.
X,Z,S,F .. are all address characters.
The string of digits may be specified with or without a sign and with a decimal point.
The sign is written between the address letter and the string of digits. The positive sign may be
omitted.
Examples of WORD :
1. X-243.127
String of digits
Sign (If it is positive it may be omitted)
Address character.
2. Z 242.127

5. BLOCK FORMAT :
The syntax followed for writing a program block should be a simple as possible. An example
given below shows the program syntax that can be followed.
Block example :
N.. G.. X.. Z.. F.. S.. T.. M.. ;
N0015G00X20.Z40.F0.3S500T1M03 ;
N - Address of block number
G - Preparatory function
X,Z - Axes address
F - Feed rate
S - Spindle speed
T - Tool number
M - Miscellaneous function
; - Block end character
A. BLOCK SKIP :
Program blocks which need not be executed during every program run can be skipped by
entering the slash character (/) in front of the sequence number with BLOCK SKIP
switch in ON position.
Example :

Axes Co-Ordinate System
Methods of Dimensioning
Machine Co-Ordinate System
11
Before going further into programming it is necessary to know some fundamental details
regarding directions of tool movement, sign convention followed for directions of tool travel and
axes co-ordinate system, different methods of dimensioning, units of dimensioning system etc.,
1. CO-ORDINATE AXES :
The directions of movement in a machine tool are based on a co-ordinate system allocated
to the axes of motion of the slides.
As in the conventional lathe there is movement of slides in two directions along two axes,
one axis being parallel to the spindle axis and the other axis perpendicular to the spindle
axis.
The axis parallel to the spindle axis is called Z-axis. The axis perpendicular to the spindle
axis is called X-axis.
Since the machine co-ordinate system has two axes, X and Z, it is referred to as the X-Z
co-ordinate system.
Z+
MACHINE ORIGIN
MACHINE ORIGIN :
It is considered that the spindle nose front face is lying on X-axis and spindle axis as Z-
axis thus the intersecting point of the two axes is the machine origin.
12
2. DIRECTIONS OF MOVEMENT :
Consider that a tool is positioned in I quadrant of X-Z co-ordinate system.
Conventionally speaking,
Along Z-axis any movement towards the spindle is considered as movement in the
negative direction and any movement away from the spindle is considered as movement in
the positive direction.
Along X-axis any movement towards the operator is considered as movement in the
negative direction and any movement away from the operator is considered as movement
in the positive direction.

3. METHODS OF DIMENSIONING :
There are two methods of dimensioning,
a. Absolute system of dimensioning or fixed zero system of dimensioning
b. Incremental system of dimensioning or floating zero system of dimensioning
ABSOLUTE SYSTEM OF DIMENSIONING OR FIXED ZERO SYSTEM OF

DIMENSIONING :
In the figure, X and Z axes are divided into equal increments on either side of the origin.
To represent a point P1 which is located at 3 divisions to the right of the origin along Z-
axis and 4 dimensioning above the origin along X-axis, it is written as P1(X4,Z3). The
positive value for X and Z is given because the point is located in the positive direction
with respect to origin in both the axes.

X-
Similarly to represent P2, P2 is written as P2(X5,Z-3) as it is in the positive direction along

X-axis and in the negative direction along Z-axis. Thus all the points are referred to the
fixed origin. The origin is also called as ABSOLUTE ZERO or FIXED ZERO. Since all
the co-ordinate are defined with respect to fixed zero, this system is called as FIXED
ZERO SYSTEM OF DIMENSIONING.
14
3.2 INCREMENTAL SYSTEM OF DIMENSIONING OR FLOATING ZERO SYSTEM OF

DIMENSIONING :
With incremental system of dimensioning, target point co-ordinates do not refer to the
fixed zero. Target point co-ordinates will be defined with respect to present position.
Assuming that tool is positioned at point P0, if a reference is made for point P1, co-
ordinates of P1 are defined with respect to point P0.
Co-ordinates of P1 with respect to P0 are X4Z3.
Similarly if a reference is made for point P2, co-ordinates of P2 with respect to P1 are
X4Z5.
Again if a reference is made for P0, co-ordinates of P0 with respect to P2 are X-8Z-8.
Thus incremental system doesnt have a fixed origin. The origin changes from point to
point. In other words the origin is floating and hence FLOATING ZERO SYSTEM OF
DIMENSIONING.

4. UNITS OF DIMENSIONING :
Irrespective of whether absolute or incremental system is followed for dimensioning a
component, it is possible to use both inch system and metric system of units.
With inch system all dimensions will be considered as in inches.
With metric system all dimensions will be considered as in mms.
Metric system is followed in this manual.
NOTE :
1. Generally all the programs are written in absolute system.
2. All the programmed X values will be in diameters.
16
Different co-ordinate systems and reference points used on a CNC machine are explained below.
5. MACHINE ORIGIN CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM :

Machine origin co-ordinate system is the axes co-ordinate system having the origin at
machine zero.
MACHINE ZERO M :
The points of intersection of the spindle axis and the plane of spindle front face is taken as
machine zero.
Similar to machine co-ordinate system, we have work piece co-ordinate system having the
origin at work zero and the reference point co-ordinate system having the origin at machine
reference point.

6. WORK PIECE CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM :

This is the co-ordinate system having the origin at work piece zero. This co-ordinate
system is used for the purpose of programming co-ordinates of different points on the work
piece.
WORK PIECE ZERO W :

Work piece zero is the zero defined for programming the work piece dimensions. It can be
freely selected.
The coinciding point of the work piece front face and the work axis is selected as work
zero.
7. MACHINE REFERENCE POINT CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM :

This is the machine co-ordinate system having the origin at machine reference point.
MACHINE REFERENCE POINT R :

There is a difference between machine origin and machine reference point. A programmer
has to know this part clearly.
The reference point R is a point defined by the machine manufacturer which is to be

approached when the control is switched on and which synchronizes the system. The
reference dimension is defined in the machine data.
With the machine co-ordinate system having the origin at reference point, whenever the
slides are taken to reference point the display values of the actual position (on the CRT
screen) will be zero.
With machine co-ordinate system having the origin at machine zero, reference point co-
ordinates are to be defined with respect to machine zero. For all the actual requirements
keeping the slides at the machine reference point, distance between the machine zero and
the turret zero (turret front face and axes intersecting point) is established in both the axes
and defined as the reference point co-ordinates.
PARKING POSITION T :
This is an intermediate or an arbitrary point on the machine which is defined by the
operator. The position is selected such that, it would be convenient for tool indexing,
inspection of component or tool, loading and unloading of component etc.,

Zero offsets, Tool offsets &
(Tool Nose) Radius Compensation
19
PROGRAMMING OF G CODES :
Command data given to the CNC system in the form of part program comprises of a set of
numerical codes.
G codes are one among those codes.
G codes are also called as preparatory functions.
They take active part in part program execution and machine operation and are programmed by
letter G followed by two digits as per format G2. They are always programmed at the start of the
block. They describe the type of machine movement, type of interpolation, type of dimensioning,
time related functions and activate certain operating conditions within the control.
The action of G codes is either modal or block by block.
G codes once programmed, remain active until another G code of the same group is programmed,
after which the previous one gets cancelled, are said to be MODAL.
G code which remains active only in the block in which it is programmed, is said to be
BLOCKWISE ACTIVE or ONE SHOT G CODE.
G codes which are active after switching on controller or reset or M02 or M30 are called
SYSTEM RESETs or DEFAULT G codes. They need not be programmed unless they are
replaced by a G code of the same group other than resets.

G00 RAPID POSITIONING :

Position data command (target point co-ordinates) programmed after the code G00 is traversed at
the maximum possible feed rate along a straight line (at rapid rate) set by the machine tool
manufacturer for each axis independently (parameter 0518 0521).
G00 can be programmed as G or G0. G00 is modal. It gets cancelled with G01, G02, G03 or
G33.
With G00 being effective, the programmed feed rate gets cancelled, until G01, G02 or G03 is
programmed.

To move from 1 to 2, command data given is G00 X40.Z-20 ;

From 2 to 3 G00Z-40 ; is programmed
On the CRT screen, movements executed with G00 appear as dotted lines if graphics feature is
available.
To the possible extent all idle movements are programmed with G00.
For example :
1. Movement from machine reference point to turret index position.
2. Movement from turret index point to safe positioning point before cutting and after cutting.
3. All idle movements when the tool is away from component.
22
G01 LINEAR INTERPOLATION :

Position data command programmed after G01 is executed at the programmed (or at the set) feed
rate, the movement being made along a straight line joining start point and final point. Control
calculates the tool path by linear interpolation.
Whether one axis is moved at a time or simultaneously two axes are moved, the movement will be
along a straight line.
CNC calculates the feed rate of each axis so that the resultant feed rate is the programmed feed
rate.
The feed rate specified by F code remains effective until a new feed rate is commanded. Hence
it need not be repeated. If feed rate if not specified it will be regarded as zero. The movement
command can be in absolute or incremental command.
Assume that tool is positioned at X40 Z0. It has to reach point 2 and then point 3.
Feed rate being 0.2 mm/rev., command data given is ;

From 1 to 2 G01X60.Z-20.F0.2 ; negative movement in both axes
From 2 to 3 G01Z-40. ; negative movement in one axes.

Circular interpolation effects a tool movements along a circular arc -

In a clock wise direction with G02
In a counter clockwise direction with G03
When a position command is to be given, it is necessary to know.

1. The start point of the circular arc
2. The end point of the circular arc
3. The radius of the arc or
4. The circular interpolation parameters (explained in the next section)
Start point of the circular arc will be known as it is the end point of the preceding command in the
program.
Radius will be given in the component drawing.
Feed rate for circular interpolation is specified by F
25
End point is to be calculated depending on the component profile. Format to be used to give a
circular interpolation command with radius is as below.

CIRCULAR INTERPOLATION PARAMETERS OR CIRCLE POINT CO-

ORDINATES :
The centre point is defined by either the radius or by the circular interpolation parameter I and K.
The interpolation parameters are the paraxial co-ordinates of the distance vector from the starting
position to the centre point of the circle. The interpolation parameters I and K are allocated to X
and Z axes respectively.

From point 1 to point 2 the tool travels at an angle. From 2 to 3 it travels in a circular path. It is
possible to establish the offsets of the centre point with respect to the start point in both the axes.
The x-axis offset is I and the Z axis offset is K.
To move from point 2 to point 3, the following program is given :

N0015 G02X3.Z3.IKF.;
Instead of radius R, the interpolation parameters I and K could be given to define the centre point.
The interpolation parameters must always be entered as incremental values irrespective of absolute
or incremental programming is done. The sign is based on the direction of co-ordinate from the
starting position to the centre point of the circle.

Inch G20 0.0001 inch
Metric G21 0.001 mm
- This G code must be specified in an independent block before setting the co-ordinate
system at the beginning of the program.
- When the power is turned ON the NC status is the same as that held before the power was
turned OFF.
- G20 / G21 must not be switched during program.
- When switching inch to metric and vice versa, the offset value must be reset according to
the input unit.

When the diameter is specified, it is called diameter programming and when the radius is
specified, it is called radius programming. Radius programming or diameter programming can be
specified by parameter (no. 0019, XRC). When using diameter programming on the X-axis, note
the conditions listed in the following table.
ITEM NOTES
Z axis command Specified irrespective of diameter or radius value.
X axis command Specified with a diameter value.
Incremental command with address U Specified with a diameter value. In the above
figure, specifies form D2 to D1 for tool path B to A.
Co-ordinate system setting (G50) Specifies a X-axis co-ordinate value with a
diameter.
X component of tool offset value Parameter setting (no. 0001, ORC) determines
either diameter or radius value.
Parameters in G90-G94, such as cutting Specifies a radius value.

5. ABSOLUTE / INCREMENTAL PROGRAMMING :

These are two ways of command for axis movement. In absolute command, co-ordinate
value of the end point is programmed. In incremental command distance to be moved is
programmed. G90 is used for absolute command and G91 is used for incremental
command.
- Absolute and incremental commands can be used together in a block
eg : X400. W-400.
X400.0.Z50.0 Absolute command
U 200. W-400.0 Incremental command.
6. G94 FEED RATE PER MINUTE :

When the code G94 is programmed CNC assumes that feed rate value entered under
address F is in mm / min (or inch / min)
G94F100. ; 100 mm / min
G94G20F10. ; 10 inches / min.
G94 is modal. It is cancelled with G95.
7. G95 FEED RTE PER REVOLUTION :

When the code G95 is programmed CNC assumes the feed rate value entered under
address F is in mm/ rev. (or inch / rev.)
G95F0.2 ; 0.2 mm/rev
G95G20F0.01 ;
G95 is default and modal. It is cancelled with G94.
To have G95 effective spindle speed encoder is provided. Spindle encoder sends the
feedback signal of spindle speed to the system, which in turn, controls the feed rate to have
a constant feed per revolution.

9. REFERENCE POINT :
The reference point is a fixed position on a machine, to which the tool can be easily moved
by the reference point return or zero return function.
* Automatic reference point return (G28) :

This command is used to position the axes at reference point at rapid traverse.
Generally used for tool change / turret index. The reference point lamp goes ON.
For safety the cutter compensation and tool length compensation should be
cancelled before executing this command.
* Reference point return check (G27) :

This function checks whether the program returns the tool to the reference point.
The tool is positioned at rapid traverse rate. If the tool reaches the reference point,
the reference point return lamp turns ON. If the position reached is not the
reference point an alarm is displayed.
1. G04 DWELL :
G04 is used to program dwell time in seconds. The dwell time value is programmed by
means of letter X or P or U or Z or F.
The time duration for dwell is as follows.
To have a dwell of 2 seconds.

N20 G04 X2. ; is programmed.
Also, it can be programmed as

N20 G04 U2.1 ; OR N20 G04 P2000 ;
No other function can be programmed in a block in which G04 is programmed. G04 is

blockwise active. The maximum command time is 99999.999 seconds. Error for the item
is within 16 msec.
Dwell starts after the commanded feedrate of the previous block attains zero.
38
2. G96 CONSTANT SURFACE SPEED (CSS) :

In this case surface speed is set by S. The spindle speed is calculated so that surface speed
is maintained as specified in correspondence with tool position. Even when the work piece
diameter is changed, the CNC changes the spindle speed so that cutting speed remains
constant. This is called constant surface speed function.
Code G96 indicates the constant surface speed in m/min. i.e. S value programmed after
G96 is considered as meters / min.
EXAMPLE :
N5 G96 S500 ; 500 m/min
N10 G96 S200 ; 200 m/min
The CNC calculates the spindle speed for the current turning diameter in accordance with
the programmed cutting speed.
The speed value stored under S, remains unchanged until a new speed value is
programmed. i.e. S value programmed is modal.
When CSS is used the work co-ordinate system must be set so that the centre of rotation
meet the Z-axis (X=0)
G96 is modal. It cancels with G97.
The surface speed for a block containing rapid traverse is calculated on the basis of
the end point.
When the power supply is turned ON, the maximum spindle speed is not set ; hence
the speed is not clamped.
G50S0 indicates speed is clamped at 0 rpm.
The S value specified in G96 mode is unaffected by G97 and hence is restored
when returned to G96 mode.
The surface speed specified in G96 is for the program path and not for the position with tool.
39
12. G92 SET VALUE OF MAXIMUM SPINDLE SPEED LIMIT :

G92 is the set value of maximum spindle speed limit in rpm, when working with constant
surface speed.
G92S500 ; Maximum spindle speed of 500 rpm.
G92 S2000 ; Maximum spindle speed of 2000 rpm.
G92 is given to safe guard the spindle from running at high rpm values when working at
smaller diameters under constant surface speed. Spindle speed set by G92 can not be
overrun when operating in constant surface speed mode or by using spindle speed override
keys.
The spindle speed limit value stored under address S with G92 remains in the program
until a new spindle speed limit value is programmed. G92SO, stops the spindle.
Spindle speed values programmed with G92 are modal. No other information can be
programmed in this block.
13. G97 CANCELLATION OF CONSTANT SURFACE SPEED :

G97 is the cancellation of constant cutting speed and storing of final speed set point of G96
i.e. after programming G97, the speed at which the spindle was running (when working
under constant surface speed) is retained as the constant spindle speed.
EXAMPLE :
N5 G96 S250 ;
N10 G01 X26.Z5.F0.21 ;
N15 Z-25. ;
N20 X30. ;
N25 G00 Z5. ;
N30 G97 ;
N5 constant cutting speed 250 m/min.
N30 G97 cancels G96. Spindle speed correspondence to X30 (2650 rpm) is retained.
No other information is programmed in this block.

Assume a finishing stock of 0.1mm on all faces, and 0.2mm on all diameters. A roughing cut of
1.4mm is to be given on 25. Roughing feed rate is 0.3 mm/rev and finishing feed is 0.15 mm/rev
Roughing is done at 1500 rpm. Finishing is done at a constant surface speed of 125 mts/min with
the maximum spindle speed limited to 1800 rpm.
In the above program, block number N45 corresponds to constant surface speed of 125 mts/min
and block number N50 corresponds to limitation of maximum rpm 1800 rpm. Block number N95
change over from constant surface speed to constant rpm mode.
42
19. ZERO OFFSETS :

G codes right from G54 to G59 are called zero offsets. Zero offsets are used to define a
new origin with respect to machine zero.
There are two types of zero offsets :

a. Settable zero offsets or adjustable zero offsets. G54, G55, G56, G57 are the
settable zero offsets.
b. Programmable zero offsets. G58 and G59 are the programmable zero offsets.
19.1 SETTABLE ZERO OFFSETS :

Zero offset data of the new origin can be directly entered into these zero offset
memory locations. The stored offset values can be altered any time.
The offset values of the new origin can be entered into any of the zero offset
locations. When the relevant zero offset number is selected in the program, CNC
refers to the corresponding zero offset location and shifts the machine zero to the
new origin position by the amount of offset value stored for each axis.
EXAMPLE :
N50 G55 ;
When CNC reads the block number N50 the machine origin gets shifted by the amount of
offset value stored in G55 location.
When zero offset data is selected, by using the soft key menu, CRT displays the following
data.
X Z (G54)
X Z (G55)
X Z (G56)
X Z (G58)
Offset data of the new origin is stored into any of the above zero offset memory locations.
Generally settable zero offsets are used to define the work zero. Since work piece axis is
in line with spindle axis, there is no offset along X-axis, and since the work piece zero is in
front of machine zero, it has a particular amount of offset along Z-axis.
43
A new origin O is defined in the figure. With respect to machine zero, the offsets of the new
origin are X0 Z200.
If the data (i.e. Z0 Z200) is stored in G57 memory location, whenever G57 is used in the program,
offset data entered in G57 is considered by CNC.

Offset data stored in G57 is displayed as below,

The tool is to be positioned at point P (X40,Z-30) with respect to G57.
The program is, N50 G57 ;

N60 G00 X40 Z-30 ;
To position tool at P from an existing position P1, control calculates the distance to be traveled in
both the axes considering the offset values of the present position with respect to machine zero,
offset value of G57 origin with respect to machine zero, and offset position of P with respect to
G57 origin.
Distance to be traveled from P1 to position tool at P :

Along X-axis =
X offset of P with + X offset of G57 origin with X offset of P1 with
respect to G57 respect to machine zero respect to machine zero.
= 20 + 0 50 = -30
Along Z-axis =
Z offset of P with + Z offset of G58 origin with Z offset of P1 with
Respect to G57 respect to machine zero respect to machine zero.
= 30 + 200 250 = -80
44
19.2 PROGRAMMABLE ZERO OFFSETS :

These offsets are similar to settable offset values except that zero offset data cannot be
directly entered into these zero offset memory locations. In order to enter zero offset data
into these offset locations, the zero offset data is programmed under the relevant G code.
When the program is executed, after reading the block in which the zero data is
programmed, CNC transfers the offset values into the corresponding zero offset memory
location, and the machine zero gets shifted to the new origin position.
To enter offset data into programmable zero offsets the following program is written.
N50 G58 X0 Z200 ;
When CNC reads N50, the data programmed under G58 is loaded into G58 memory
location, and the machine zero gets shifted to new origin.
To cancel programmable zero offsets the following program is written.

N100 G58 X0 Z0 ;
Zero offset values are additive i.e. when more than one zero offset code (G code) are used
in a program, CNC takes sum of all the offset values into consideration, in order to shift
the machine zero to new zero position.
NOTE :
a. G54 is the default function i.e. there is no need to program G54 code, in order to
shift the machine zero to new position, when a zero offset data is entered into G54
memory location.
b. Also when a zero offset location other than G54 is used, in order to enter the zero
offset data, care should be taken to keep the G54 memory location empty.
Otherwise, as G54 is the default, and the zero offsets are additive, whenever a G
code other than G54 is programmed, zero offset value stored in G54 memory
location is added to that value stored in the zero offset location of the programmed
G code.
20. G53 SUPPRESSION OF ZERO OFFSETS :

Zero offsets are modal. Command positions programmed after programming zero offsets,
are referred to the new origin. In case it is necessary to refer a position command with
respect to machine zero, suppressing the programmed zero offsets, then the code G53 is
programmed. G53 is block wise active. i.e. it can suppress zero offsets only in the block in
which it is programmed.
45
EXAMPLE :
N5 G55 ;
N10 G00 X100 Z200 ;
:
:
:
N50 G53 X100 Z200 ;
N55 X100 Z200 ;
Block number N5 - Activates the zero offset already loaded in the zero offset memory
G55.
Block number N10 - Command position is with respect to new origin.
Block number N50 - G53 suppresses zero offset G55, and command position is with
respect to machine zero.
Block number N55 - Command position is once again with respect to G55 zero.
In case of touch probe, G53 is used for automatic tool offset entry in JOG MODE, and
automatic updating of already entered tool offsets in AUTOMATIC MODE (by executing
a special program, where all command positions are to be defined with respect to machine
zero).
21. TOOL PROGRAMMING T :

Tool programming is done, to call the tools mounted on the turret in different stations. The
tool programming is done by means of the code T.
21.1 TOOL NUMBER Tn. :

To the right of T any number from 1 to 8 is programmed. The number
programmed to the right of T, indicates the turret station in which the tool is
mounted (in case of 12 station turret, the number entered is from 1 to 12).
To call tool 1 (station 1)

N5 T01; is programmed.
21.2 CANCELLATION OF TOOL NUMBER :

Tool number can be cancelled by programming T00.
N5 T00 ; cancels tool number selected earlier.
46
22. TOOL OFFSET OR TOOL LENGTH OFFSET ;

Tool offset is to compensate for the difference between the actual tool used and the
imagined part. Tool offset or tool length offset is the offset of the turret zero with respect
to tool tip.
Turret zero is the intersection point of turret axis and turret front face.
A tool is mounted on turret. The distance between the turret zero and the tool tip along X-
axis is XT, and that along Z-axis, is ZT.
22.1 TOOL OFFSET MEMORY LOCATION :

Tool length offsets are entered into tool offset memory locations. There are 16/32
tool offset memory locations. Tool offsets are identified by the code XX AFTER
TOOL NUMBER. Tool offsets are numbered from 1 to 32. Tool offsets for each
tool are entered into separate tool offset memory locations. Established tool length
data of a particular tool can be entered into any of the 32 tool offset memory
locations.

Cursor moves down, line by line when ENTER key is pressed.
When ever the tool is called to a particular position, CNC takes into account, zero offset, tool
length offset, distance of the target position from work zero, and the position where the tool is
located and then calculates the distance to be traveled in each axis.
The position of tool tip with respect to turret zero is different for each tool. Tool offsets are used
to establish, the offsets of each tool tip with respect to machine zero.
Assume that the machine reference point is X600:ZX500 ?
The tool is brought close to the component, and a cut is taken on OD. The diameter is measured.
The corresponding display position in the X-axis is noted down. Assume that diameter measured
is 50mm and the corresponding display position is X400.
Similarly a cut is taken on the face. The corresponding display position in Z-axis is noted down.
The slide is taken back to a safe position and brought forward so that the turret face is touched on
to component face. Corresponding display position in Z-axis is noted down.
The difference in the positions displayed corresponding to tool stationed at work zero and to that
at the reference position is made use of to establish the tool length offsets.
NOTE :
When the slides are positioned at the machine reference point, turret zero itself is considered as the
machine reference point.
Thus

22.2 TOOL IDENTIFICATION CODE

Tool type is the tool identification code used for the purpose of application of tool nose
radius compensation. There are nine types of tool identification codes from 1 to 9. The
following diagram shows different location codes. Based on the position of tip centre with
respect to leading tip the above codes are assigned.

23. CUTTER RADIUS COMPENSATION :

The tool offsets explained above are entered assuming that the cutting tip is sharp. But the
actual cutting tip has a particular tip radius. The offsets taken in the above manner leads to
contour errors whenever a contour machining is done.

LEADING TIP
53
On the OD the bottom most point, and on the face, the front most point of tool tip, touches the
component.
Lines passing tangential to the TIP CIRCLE meet at point P. Tool tip touching at points 1 and 2
is as good as touching at point P. Keeping this point as reference CNC executes all tool
movements. Point P is called as leading tip.
The example shown in the figure is having contour error.
Different programmed positions are attained by leading tip. It can be clearly seen from the
drawing that the tool has already crossed point 1 and not yet reached point 2. Because of the
leading tip there is profile error at the chamfer portion, i.e. chamfer is short.

54
Compensated path
Programmed path
Since the cutting tip is of circular shape, depending on the contour profile, any point on the
circumference may touch the component which leads to contour error. To avoid this sort of error
tool radius compensation is used.
By programming radius compensation, control calculates and generates a new patch called
compensated path parallel to the programmed path, keeping the distance between the two paths
equal to tip radius. Then the tool offsets get shifted to the tool tip centre and the tool tip centre
follows the compensated path.
Compensated path being traced by the centre point, the counter error is eliminated. Programming
of tool radius compensation is done by the relevant G code. There are two types of cutter radius
compensation (C.R.C) like C.R.C to the left of the component G41 & C.R.C to the right of the
component G42.
The above codes are decided looking in the direction of cutting, to which side of the component,
the tool is existing i.e. if tool is to the left side, code is G41 and if the tool is to the right side, code
is G42.

Whenever C.R.C is selected, to initiate the compensation in the proper direction, CNC refers to the
tool offset page to identify the tool location code and the tip radius.
G41 and G42 are modal. They are cancelled by G40 or after M30, reset or emergency stop.
23.1 SELECTION OF TOOL RADIUS COMPENSATION :

Tool radius compensation selection (G41 / G42) can only be carried out when G00
or G01 is active. Before selecting the tool nose radius compensation, the tool
should have been called earlier (i.e. the tool programming with the relevant offset
number is programmed earlier)..
56
23.2 CANCELLATION OF TOOL RADIUS COMPENSATION :

Tool radius compensation cancellation (G40) can only be carried out in a block in
which G00 or G01 is programmed.
Tool radius compensation cancellation is achieved by function G40. Tool offset

memory number 00 corresponds to zero compensation. It can be used to cancel
tool radius compensation.
G40, G41 and G42 can be programmed in a block separately with anyother
function. They are not active, unless a movement command is programmed atleast
in one axis.
When any change from G00 to G01, G02 or G03 is detected the CNC applies the
same process as when the tool radius compensation is initiated.
24. G33, G34 THREAD CUTTING :

The following preparatory functions are available for cutting threads.
G33 thread cutting with constant lead / tapered threads / screw threads.
G34 thread cutting with linear lead increase / decrease
The spindle speed is read from the position coder on the spindle in real time and converted
to the cutting feedrate for FPM, which is used to more the tool.
Spindle speed must remain constant from rough cutting through finish cutting, else
incorrect thread lead will occur.
G33 (End point) (lead of the long axis) :

IP F :
The range for thread lead is 0.0001 mm to 500.000mm
57
LX Tapered thread

Z
LZ
LZ LX 45 lead is Z direction
LZ LX 45 lead is X direction
NOTE :
1. Feedrate override is not effective (fixed at 100X) during thread cutting
2. If FEEDHOLD push button is pressed during thread cutting, the tool will stop after a block
not specifying thread cutting is executed, similar to single block.
3. Spindle speed override is not effective in thread cutting mode.
24.1 THREADS WITH VARIABLE LEAD :

Threads with variable lead are cut with
G34 (End point) (F) (K)
Lead in Increment /
longitudinal decrement
axis direction of lead per
at the start spindle
point revolution.
Range for K
is 0.0001 to
500.000 mm/rev.
24.2 MULTIPLE START THREADS :
Multiple start threads are cut by shifting the start point of the thread for each start,
by the distance equal to pitch (lead divided by number of starts).
If the lead is 4mm and number of starts are 2, and if the start point for the first start
of the thread is selected as Z4, then the start point for the second start of the thread
is selected as either Z2 or Z6.

Miscellaneous Functions
61
V.MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS M :
Miscellaneous functions perform certain machine setting functions such as direction of spindle
rotation, switching on the coolant motor etc., Each block may contain upto 3m functions. Some of
the miscellaneous functions are defined by CNC system manufacturers and some are defined by
machine tool manufacturers.
M00 PROGRAM STOP (UNCONDITIONAL) :

When CNC reads the code M00 in a block, it stops executing the program. The START key is
pressed to resume the program execution.
M01 PROGRAM STOP (CONDITIONAL) :

It is same as M00, except that M01 is taken into account only if the optional stop input is
activated. Optional stop input is activated by keeping OPT switch ON. (Selection with the soft
key menu, OPT switch is made ON or OFF).
M02 END OF PROGRAM :

M01 indicates end of main program and performs a general reset function of the CNC.
M03 CLOCKWISE START OF SPINDLE :

By programming M03 the spindle is enabled to run in the clockwise direction.
M04 COUNTER CLOCKWIESE START OF SPINDLE :

Similar to M03 except that the spindle is enabled to run in the counter clock wise direction.
M05 SPINDLE STOP :

By programming M05 spindle stop rotating
It is possible to change over from M03 to M04 and vice versa. In such a case before programming
next M function it is necessary to program M05.
M07 COOLANT ON :
By programming M07, coolant motor i.e. low pressure coolant motor switches ON.
M09 COOLANT OFF :

By programming M09, coolant motor is switched OFF.
M10 CHUCK DECLAMP :

The function M10 means that the power chuck is actuated for declamping.
62
M11 CHUCK CLAMP :

The function M11 means that the power chuck is actuated for clamping.
M16 CHUCK CLAMP ON I.D :

By programming M16, the power chuck is actuated for internal clamping.
M18 CHUCK CLAMP ON O.D:

By programming M18, the power chuck is actuated for external clamping.
M19 ORIENTED SPINDLE STOP :

M19 facilitates to stop the spindle at a particular orientation with respect to zero marker on the
spindle encoder. The angle is measured form the zero marker along the counter clockwise
direction of rotation.
This feature is useful to drill offcentre holes, pitch holes at a particular p.c.d., radial slot milling on
face, key way milling, oriented loading and unloading.
M20 SPINDLE ORIENTATION CANCEL
M21 30 ROTATION
M22 60 ROTATION
M23 90 ROTATION
M24 120 ROTATION
M25 150 ROTATION
M26 180 ROTATION
M30 MAIN PROGRAM END :

The function M30 is the same as M02. After resetting the internal registers the CNC control
returns the cursor to the top (1st block) of the currently active part program).
M32 TAILSTOCK QUILL FORWARD :

By programming M32, tailstock quill could be brought forward.
M33 TAILSTOCK QUILL RETRACT :

By programming M33, tailstock quill is retracted.
