OPERATION MODES
Manual Mode
If installed on a knee mill, use the machine simply as if it had been a conventional one.
Automatic Mode
The control will do everything from start to finish. The machinist has several options on how to generate the program and some very powerful programming tools are available
Single Step Mode
The single step mode allows the machinist to go through all or part by executing the program step by step
Teach-in Mode
The machinist can manufacture the part manually while the control records the corresponding program. Additional parts can be made in automatic mode
PROGRAMMING TOOLS
CAM
The CAM utility allows creation of the tool path without trigonometry calculations and with G-code programming. The operator simply allows the features in the CAM utility to define a part profile and inputs speeds and feeds, determines offsets and stopovers and selects contouring, drilling or pocketing when prompted. The program is automatically generated within the CAM utility.
CANNED CYCLES
Canned cycles are used to make programming of routing machining jobs fast is easy. This is accomplished by choosing the job you want and answering a few simple questions about it. The questions are asked in plain language text and you are further assisted by graphical references. Using your answers, the control will do all the calculations.
DRAW MODE
When the program is completed, the draw graphics mode can be used to verify the part before machining it.
CANNED CYCLES(Pocketing)
Frame Milling
Mill a rectangular pocket with an island in the center
Circular Pocket Milling
By filling in only the desired depth, starting height and diameter, this cycle will produce a circular pocket
Hole Milling
This cycle is used counter bore an existing hole
Area Clearance (Irregular pocket milling)
Simply program a profile and the cycle will clear the area and take a profile cut
Rectangular pocket milling
This cycle will quickly produce a rectangular pocket by filling in the depth, star height, width and length desired
Elbow milling
Easily create an elbow cavity (radical conical cavity) by simply filling in the start and end radii, the included angle and the number of cycles desired
Draft pocket milling
By following the easy rectangular pocket prompts, the cycle will program a rectangular pocket with draft walls. Use either a flat or ball end mill
Plunge circular pocket milling
Create a circular pocket by filling in the starting height, depth and diameter of the pocket. This can be used when your preference is to have tool plunge rather than ramp into
Mold Rotation
Program any profile, once forward and once in reverse, and the cycle will automatically rotate it around any axis
Plunge rectangular pocket milling
Create a rectangular pocket using the simple prompts. This can be used your preference is to have the tool plunge rather than ramp into the work.
CANNED CYCLES(Drilling & Tapping)
Basic drilling
Used for basic hole drilling. The cycle will create a drilling program with only the finish depth and start height information needed.
Bore bi-directional
Used for boring holes by feeding in and backing out of the hole
Counter boring
When using an end mill this cycle is used to create a flat surface by dwelling at the bottom of the hole.
Peck drilling
Peck drills to a specified depth, retracts and rapids out of the hole. It then rapids back to within 0.020 of its previous position. It repeats until at the finish depth
Bore uni-directional
When an encoder is present on the spindle of the machine tool, this cycle will bore to depth, orient the spindle back away from the bore and retract.
Chip Breaking
When using this cycle the drill will retract at quick intervals and break the chips keeping the hole clear.
Flat bottom boring:
When using a boring bar, this cycle will feed it in both directions and dwell at the bottom of the hole producing a flat surface.
Bolt hole circle
Used to drill full or partial bolt hole circles by filling in the first angle, number of holes and diameter of the circle.
Tapping
Tapping is easily accomplished with three quick prompts.
Hole pattern drilling
Used to produce an array of holes in any square shape. A complete or partial pattern can be quickly done with only six inputs.
CANNED CYCLES(Paths)
Ellipse
Answer seven simple graphic prompts and the cycle will cut a true ellipse
Circular Profile
This cycle is particularly useful when working with castings and forgings. Among other things, it can be used for sizing or cleaning up existing holes.
Spiral
With this cycle you have the unique ability to machine cones or taper threads. This cycle is invaluable for thread milling too.
Facing
Any size can be faced off quickly and easily.
Rectangular Profile
By answering five simple prompts, a rectangular shape can be profiled on either the outside or the inside.
OTHER IMPORTANT FEATURES
CAM
Anilams integrated CAM programming feature allows for an easy method of creating a program for a tool path.
ON SCREENGAUGES
The unique facility is available to display gauges direct on the screen, right where you want them to be. CAN-bus driven I/O modules allow for inputting alalog signals, for example for monitoring spindle load. Such signals can then be displayed graphically on the screen by configurable gauges.
TOOL PAGE
Comprehensive tool table allows you to store up to 255 tools. You can specify diameter, length, length offsets and wear offsets
OFFLINE SOFTWARE
The control is ready to work with all the popular offline software like Mastercam, Surfcam, Gibbs etc.
