SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Preface
Safety precautions relating to the CNC unit (in the remainder of this manual, referred to simply as
the NC unit) that is provided in this machine are explained below. Not only the persons who
create programs, but also those who operate the machine must thoroughly understand the
contents of this manual to ensure safe operation of the machine.
Read all these safety precautions, even if your NC model does not have the corresponding
functions or optional units and a part of the precautions do not apply.
.

Rules
rv
se
1. This section contains the precautions to be observed as to the working methods and states
re
usually expected. Of course, however, unexpected operations and/or unexpected working
s
ht
states may take place at the user site.
rig
During daily operation of the machine, therefore, the user must pay extra careful attention to
ll
its own working safety as well as to observe the precautions described below.
A
2. Although this manual contains as great an amount of information as it can, since it is not
n.
tio
rare for the user to perform the operations that overstep the manufacturer-assumed ones,
not all of “what the user cannot perform” or “what the user must not perform” can be fully
95 ora
covered in this manual with all such operations taken into consideration beforehand.
20 rp
It is to be understood, therefore, that functions not clearly written as “executable” are
r 3 Co
“inexecutable” functions.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Basics
After turning power on, keep hands away from the keys, buttons, or switches of the
operating panel until an initial display has been made.
WARNING Before proceeding to the next operations, fully check that correct data has been entered
and/or set. If the operator performs operations without being aware of data errors,
unexpected operation of the machine will result.
Before machining workpieces, perform operational tests and make sure that the machine
operates correctly. No workpieces must be machined without confirmation of normal
operation. Closely check the accuracy of programs by executing override, single-block,
.
ed
and other functions or by operating the machine at no load. Also, fully utilize tool path
rv
check, Virtual Machining, and other functions, if provided.
se
re
Make sure that the appropriate feed rate and rotational speed are designated for the
s
particular machining requirements. Always understand that since the maximum usable
ht
feed rate and rotational speed are determined by the specifications of the tool to be used,
rig
those of the workpiece to be machined, and various other factors, actual capabilities differ
A ll
from the machine specifications listed in this manual. If an inappropriate feed rate or
n.
rotational speed is designated, the workpiece or the tool may abruptly move out from the
tio
machine. 95 ora
Before executing correction functions, fully check that the direction and amount of
20 rp
correction are correct. Unexpected operation of the machine will result if a correction
r 3 Co
function is executed without its thorough understanding.
be ak
Parameters are set to the optimum standard machining conditions prior to shipping of the
um az
machine from the factory. In principle, these settings should not be modified. If it becomes
l N ki M
absolutely necessary to modify the settings, perform modifications only after thoroughly
understanding the functions of the corresponding parameters. Modifications usually affect
a
az
any program. Unexpected operation of the machine will result if the settings are modified
m
without a thorough understanding.

op
Cutting conditions suggested by the Machining Navigation Function or the Cutting
C
Adviser
Cutting conditions for tools that are suggested to be used by the Machining Navigation
Function or the Cutting Adviser
Confirm that every necessary precaution in regards to safe machine setup has been taken
– especially for workpiece fixturing/clamping and tool setup.
Confirm that the machine door is securely closed before starting machining.
Failure to confirm safe machine setup may result in serious injury or death.
S-2
Serial Number 320959
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Programming
Fully check that the settings of the coordinate systems are correct. Even if the designated
program data is correct, errors in the system settings may cause the machine to operate
in unexpected places and the workpiece to abruptly move out from the machine in the
WARNING
event of contact with the tool.
During surface velocity hold control, as the current workpiece coordinates of the surface
velocity hold control axes approach zeroes, the spindle speed increases significantly. For
the lathe, the workpiece may even come off if the chucking force decreases. Safety speed
limits must therefore be observed when designating spindle speeds.
.
ed
Even after inch/metric system selection, the units of the programs, tool information, or
rv
parameters that have been registered until that time are not converted. Fully check these
se
data units before operating the machine. If the machine is operated without checks being
re
performed, even existing correct programs may cause the machine to operate differently
s
ht
from the way it did before.
rig
If a program is executed that includes the absolute data commands and relative data
A ll
commands taken in the reverse of their original meaning, totally unexpected operation of
n.
the machine will result. Recheck the command scheme before executing programs.
tio
If an incorrect plane selection command is issued for a machine action such as arc
95 ora
interpolation or fixed-cycle machining, the tool may collide with the workpiece or part of
20 rp
the machine since the motions of the control axes assumed and those of actual ones will
r 3 Co
be interchanged. (This precaution applies only to NC units provided with EIA/ISO
be ak
functions.)
um az
The mirror image, if made valid, changes subsequent machine actions significantly. Use
l N ki M
the mirror image function only after thoroughly understanding the above. (This precaution
applies only to NC units provided with EIA/ISO functions.)
a
az
If machine coordinate system commands or reference position returning commands are
m
issued with a correction function remaining made valid, correction may become invalid
Ya
ria
temporarily. If this is not thoroughly understood, the machine may appear as if it would
Se
22
operate against the expectations of the operator. Execute the above commands only after
20
making the corresponding correction function invalid. (This precaution applies only to NC
©
units provided with EIA/ISO functions.)
ht
The barrier function performs interference checks based on designated tool data. Enter
ig
yr
the tool information that matches the tools to be actually used. Otherwise, the barrier
op
function will not work correctly.
C
The system of G-code and M-code commands differs, especially for turning, between the
machines of INTEGREX i/e-Series and the other turning machines.
Issuance of the wrong G-code or M-code command results in totally non-intended
machine operation. Thoroughly understand the system of G-code and M-code commands
before using this system.
Sample program Machines of INTEGREX i/e-Series Turning machines
–1
S1000M3 The milling spindle rotates at 1000 min . The turning spindle rotates at 1000 min–1.
–1
S1000M203 The turning spindle rotates at 1000 min . The milling spindle rotates at 1000 min–1.
S-3
Serial Number 320959
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
For the machines of INTEGREX i/e-Series, programmed coordinates can be rotated using
an index unit of the MAZATROL program and a G68 command (coordinate rotate com-
mand) of the EIA/ISO program. However, for example, when the B-axis is rotated through
WARNING
180 degrees around the Y-axis to implement machining with the turning spindle No. 2, the
plus side of the X-axis in the programmed coordinate system faces downward and if the
program is created ignoring this fact, the resulting movement of the tool to unexpected
positions may incite collisions.
To create the program with the plus side of the X-axis oriented in an upward direction, use
the mirror function of the WPC shift unit or the mirror imaging function of G-code
command (G50.1, G51.1).
.
ed
After modifying the tool data specified in the program, be sure to perform the tool path
rv
check function, the Virtual Machining function, and other functions, and confirm that the
se
program operates properly. The modification of tool data may cause even a field-proven
re
machining program to change in operational status.
s
ht
If the user operates the machine without being aware of any changes in program status,
rig
interference with the workpiece could arise from unexpected operation.
For example, if the cutting edge of the tool during the start of automatic operation is
A ll
present inside the clearance-including blank (unmachined workpiece) specified in the
n.
common unit of the MAZATROL program, care is required since the tool will directly move
tio
from that position to the approach point because of no obstructions being judged to be
95 ora
present on this path.
20 rp
For this reason, before starting automatic operation, make sure that the cutting edge of
r 3 Co
9
the tool during the start of automatic operation is present outside the clearance-including
workpiece specified in the common unit of the MAZATROL program.
be ak
um az
If axis-by-axis independent positioning is selected and simultaneously rapid feed selected
l N ki M
for each axis, movements to the ending point will not usually become linear. Before using
a
these functions, therefore, make sure that no obstructions are present on the path.
az
CAUTION
m
Before starting the machining operation, be sure to confirm all contents of the program
Ya
ria
obtained by conversion. Imperfections in the program could lead to machine damage and
Se
operator injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Operations
Single-block, feed hold, and override functions can be made invalid using system
variables #3003 and #3004. Execution of this means the important modification that
makes the corresponding operations invalid. Before using these variables, therefore, give
WARNING
thorough notification to related persons. Also, the operator must check the settings of the
system variables before starting the above operations.
If manual intervention during automatic operation, machine locking, the mirror image
function, or other functions are executed, the workpiece coordinate systems will usually be
shifted. When making machine restart after manual intervention, machine locking, the
.
ed
mirror image function, or other functions, consider the resulting amounts of shift and take
rv
the appropriate measures. If operation is restarted without any appropriate measures
se
being taken, collision with the tool or workpiece may occur.
re
Use the dry run function to check the machine for normal operation at no load. Since the
s
ht
feed rate at this time becomes a dry run rate different from the program-designated feed
rig
rate, the axes may move at a feed rate higher than the programmed value.
A ll
After operation has been stopped temporarily and insertion, deletion, updating, or other
n.
commands executed for the active program, unexpected operation of the machine may
tio
result if that program is restarted. No such commands should, in principle, be issued for
95 ora
the active program.
20 rp
r 3 Co
During manual operation, fully check the directions and speeds of axial movement.
9
be ak
For a machine that requires manual homing, perform manual homing operations after
um az
CAUTION turning power on. Since the software-controlled stroke limits will remain ineffective until
l N ki M
manual homing is completed, the machine will not stop even if it oversteps the limit area.
As a result, serious machine damage will result.
a
az
Do not designate an incorrect pulse multiplier when performing manual pulse handle feed
m
operations. If the multiplier is set to 1000 times and the handle operated inadvertently,
Ya
ria
axial movement will become faster than that expected.

REQUEST TO THE USER
REQUEST TO THE USER
Request for Saving Data of Machining Programs
Machining programs saved on the local disk of the NC unit may not be read out in the event of
accidental local disk trouble. The user, therefore, is earnestly requested to back up and store
every machining program of importance at regular intervals onto an external memory (USB
memory, SD card, etc.).
The procedure for data storage is detailed in the Operating Manual, Part 3
(OPERATING NC UNIT AND PREPARATION FOR AUTOMATIC
.

On machines with a random ATC feature, each actual ATC operation changes the tool
data (in pocket numbers). Be sure not to run the machine after loading the externally
stored data of the TOOL DATA display without having confirmed the data’s
CAUTION correspondence to the current tooling on the magazine. Otherwise the machine cannot be
be guaranteed to operate normally.

3-5 Saving Machining Programs
This NC unit is designed so that machining programs are saved onto the local disk. If the NC unit
is accidentally turned off by a sudden power interruption or other events, entered data may not
be saved. During data entry, therefore, perform the following operation as appropriate for data
storage.
To save a machining program:
Execute the [PROGRAM COMPLETE] menu function on the PROGRAM
display or select another display even halfway to save the machining program
as far as it is prepared.
.
ed
Never fail to back up and store every machining program of importance onto an external
rv
memory, such as USB memory stick.
se
The machining programs saved on the local disk may not be restored if the local disk
re
CAUTION should fail in function.

©
(1) Drill an actual workpiece using the tool for which the threshold is to be set.

Select a drilling hole depth that does not cause clogging with any chips. The drilling hole
ig
yr
depth should not exceed the value of [3 × tool diameter of the drill].

(3) Enter the desired threshold seeing the graph-displayed machining torque and peak torque.
The entered pecking threshold level is displayed in a yellow solid line on the graph.
The same value is set in the corresponding item on the TOOL DATA display.
Note : Even if the threshold is changed during execution of the cutting-load detection-type drill
auto-pecking cycle, that new value will not become valid until the machining cycle is
completed.
Do not perform the cutting-load detection type of drill auto-pecking cycle if the
drill has a tool diameter of 4 mm or less or is made of a material other than
high-speed steel. Otherwise, tool damage may result since the machining
torque cannot be detected accurately under those conditions.

Used to prepare and edit the optimum sets of relevant cutting conditions (SMC data) for the type of
machining and workpiece. SMC is an abbreviation of Smooth Machining Configuration.
Factory-set data consist of a set of standard settings for general use in all types of machining, and sets
of special settings for finishing to enhance surface quality and geometric accuracy.
Function Use the editing functions to prepare a special set of finishing conditions in order to achieve so high a
surface quality or geometric accuracy as required. It is recommended, however, to use the factory-set
data (standard conditions and special finishing conditions) unless an extremely high quality or accuracy
is required.
A particular set of registered SMC data becomes effective when it is selected in the SMC DATA SELECT

6-1-3 Manual measurement
1. Function overview
Two main purposes of manual measurement are as follows.
A. Workpiece dimension measurement
Items below can be measured.
Diameter and center coordinates of a circular shape
Workpiece coordinate of a surface, and its inclination with respect to a machine coordinate axis
.
Straightness of a surface, and its inclination with respect to a machine coordinate axis
ed
rv
Combination of the above three measuring results allows the following values to be obtained:
se
Center distance between two circular shapes ([1] in the figure below)
re
Distance between the center of a circular shape and a surface ([2] in the figure below)
s
ht
Distance, parallelism, perpendicularity, and inclination between two surfaces ([3] in the figure

B. Alignment function
20
WPC measurement can be accomplished by the manual measurement function for the sake of
©
alignment even when the workpiece origin is to be set to the center of a hole.
ht
Remark : The MDI MMS function, also useable for alignment, can only measure the coordi-
ig
nate of an XY-, XZ-, or YZ-plane, and is not useful for measurement of hole center.
yr
Moreover, MDI MMS is exclusively designed for WPC measurement for a program,
op
and so it is not proper for checking coordinates only, for example. The execution of a
C
MAZATROL MMS unit allows the measurement in question, indeed, but requires
program preparation time.

2. Measurement patterns
The following five measurement patterns are available:
Circle measurement (for obtaining diameter and center coordinates of a hole/boss)
Surface measurement (for obtaining coordinate and inclination of a surface)
Straightness measurement [optional] (for obtaining straightness between two arbitrary points)
One-point measurement (for obtaining coordinate X, Y, or Z of a reference surface)
Two-point measurement (for obtaining center line coordinate of a groove/step)
In addition, combinations of the five measurement patterns above can be used to calculate
distance, angle, parallelism, and perpendicularity.
.
ed
Note : As for machines with a spindle head of swiveling type, perform manual measurement
rv
with the spindle head being oriented at 0°, 90°, or –90°; otherwise an alarm will be
se
caused (497 HEAD ANGLE INCORRECT).

8-3-4 EIA/ISO tool length measurement
1. Outline
Automatically measured tool lengths can be set in tool offsets automatically.
Two methods are available to measure tool lengths: fully automatic and semi-automatic.
Fully automatic tool length measurement allows the following operations to be carried out:
• Continuous length measurement of a maximum of 13 tools
• Assignment of any offset number
• Automatic shifting in the XY-plane (for automatic length measurement of a tool whose nose
.
does not lie on the axis of the spindle) [Control parameter: L94]

10-1-13 Conversion of a program with the use of A-axis tilting table (for machines with B-
axis tilting table)
1. Outline
A machining program which is created using the SmoothX (in MAZATROL format) for running on
a machine with A-axis tilting table can be converted, and loaded into the memory of the NC unit,
for the execution on a machine with B-axis tilting table.
Note : A machining program prepared by the conversion function should be complemented
manually by editing the items concerned as well as changing data on the workpiece
zero point, and then checked for appropriateness using the [DRY RUN] menu function.
.
ed
In one and the same position on the C-axis (C = 0), the orientation of the rotary table (and the
rv
T-slots on it) with the function of tilting on the B-axis is different by 90° as compared to a table
se
with the function of tilting on the A-axis. Set up the workpiece on a machine with B-axis tilting
re
table, therefore, in an orientation rotated by 90° in counterclockwise direction, in order that it may
s
be mounted in the same orientation, with respect to the direction of the table and T-slots, as on a

E. Canceling and Restoring the SAFETY SHIELD functions by M-codes
There are various M-codes provided for canceling the SAFETY SHIELD in its particular functions
in the flow of automatic operation, together with the corresponding restoration M-codes.
Use the cancellation M-codes for the purpose of conducting the Virtual Machining in parallel with
automatic operation, or continuing the execution of a program containing a G-code the cutting
function of which cannot be represented on the material model.
The M-codes in question are provided in pairs for canceling the respective SAFETY SHIELD
functions as well as for their restoration.
Note 1: A restoration M-code only undoes the cancellation made by its counterpart, and
restores no interference check functions canceled by any other cancellation M-codes.

F. M-codes for temporarily canceling and restoring the SAFETY SHIELD function
For the use in an EIA/ISO program there is a special M-code provided for temporarily canceling
the SAFETY SHIELD in its entirety, along with its undoing counterpart (i.e. for restoration), as
shown below.
Use these M-codes to prevent, for example, the alarm 1125 SAFETY SHIELD CALCULATING
from occurring inopportunely to stop the execution of a measurement macroprogram.
M648: Temporary cancelation of the SAFETY SHIELD function
M649: Restoration of the SAFETY SHIELD function
Note 1: The M-codes (their ID numbers) for temporarily canceling and restoring the SAFETY
SHIELD function can be changed as required, indeed, by using their respective
.
ed
parameters J550 and J551, but take due care not to set the parameter to a value which
is already assigned to another M-code of different function; otherwise both ‘miscella-
rv
se
neous’ functions (M-codes) could be executed inopportunely at the same time.
re
Note 2: M648 and M649 must be given in a single-command block.
s
Note 3: SAFETY SHIELD restoration by M649 causes the alarm 1160 SAFETY SHIELD

rig
SYNCHRONOUS to be raised and the automatic operation to be temporarily sus-
pended until the alarm is cleared automatically.
A ll
Note 4: Do not give any cutting commands in the section of temporary cancelation of the
n.
SAFETY SHIELD function; otherwise the interference check function cannot be
tio
executed properly after SAFETY SHIELD restoration by M649.

Note 5: Take care that the state of the programming coordinate system (as to the position of
20 rp
the workpiece origin, the angle of rotation of the workpiece coordinate system, etc.) just

DISPLAYS FOR THE 3-D INTERFERENCE CHECK FUNCTION 12
The SAFETY SHIELD function judges as an interference any contact with the material
model which occurs during feed of the tool by G0 (rapid traverse), irrespective of the
speed setting for rapid traverse. Cancel, therefore, the interference check function for the
tool or material model in case a feed for cutting into the workpiece is programmed with
G0 (on the condition of a rapid traverse speed moderate enough to be safely used for
cutting).
Cancel the interference check function for a program which uses system variables (in
any form) since it cannot be checked properly for interference.
Do not select or cancel the [BLOCK SKIP] menu function in the flow of automatic oper-

As for commands in the mode of turning on machines with turning functions:
A command for shifting the tool on the Y-axis from position “0” (from the plane containing
the axis of turning) in the programming, or workpiece, coordinate system can cause,
indeed, actually a Y-axis movement to be executed as specified, but such a movement
cannot be taken into account in internal processing for the purpose of “material model
cutting” or “interference check for material model.” Temporarily cancel, therefore, the
interference check function for the material model in order that an interference which is
not actually caused shall not be judged to occur.

8. Precautions for work simulation
An alarm (due to memory insufficiency) may be caused, especially at a section of complicated
geometry, during simulation of a program for die machining which includes a great number of
micro-distance motion commands.
When a command of linear interpolation with simultaneous movement on a rotational axis is
given in the EIA/ISO program or in the MAZATROL program’s manual-programming unit, only
the starting and ending points can be simulated and thus the cutting process cannot be
represented at all, nor can the interference check be executed, for the tool path of such a
command.
As for commands in the mode of turning on machines with turning functions:
.
ed
A command for shifting the tool on the Y-axis from position “0” (from the plane containing the
rv
axis of turning) in the programming, or workpiece, coordinate system cannot be taken into
se
account in internal processing for the purpose of “Work simulation.” Temporarily cancel,
re
therefore, the interference check function during simulation in order that an interference which
s
is not actually caused shall not be judged to occur.

Note 5: If a change for a display of other type, e. g. for the program edit display, occurs during
replay, the replay mode will be canceled, and the restored Machine simulation display
cannot reproduce any more the particular machine movement.
Note 6: Change for the Work simulation display, however, does not cancel the replay mode of

F. Adding offset area
If Work simulation is executed for a material for which the tool size only is added to the
programmed machining shape, all the material may be chipped off and no display made at the
end. In order to avoid this, a fixed offset value is added to the machining shape so that the shape
of the as-machined workpiece can be readily understood.
An offset of 10 mm (or 1 in) is set up in both the X- and Y-directions of the machine coordinate
system in such a way as to encompass the right parallelepiped including the machining shape.
As for the Z-direction, an offset of 10 mm (or 1 in) is set up at the bottom side of the surface to be
machined.

the material. (No clearance added in the Z-direction)
Remark : The material will not be displayed if the size of one side with both the offset and the
clearance added to the machining shape exceeds 1000.0 mm or 39.37 inches.

13-1 Machining Management Functions
13-1-1 General
The machining management functions are designed so that machining management information
for each pallet can be managed by saving the information into a PALLET MANAGEMENT
display area and pallet ID information separate from the machining program data field. This
allows the machining program sequence to be changed according to the status of the workpiece
.
without updating the program.
ed
The following four functions are provided for machining management:
rv
se
Scheduled-operation function
re
Allows the machining sequence to be designated for each pallet on the PALLET MANAGE-
s
MENT display. This eliminates the need for program updating.
ht
External unit skipping function
rig
Allows the MMS unit and subprogram unit of a machining program to be designated on the
A ll
PALLET MANAGEMENT display as the program units to be skipped.
n.
External multi-piece machining function
tio
Allows a multi-piece machining process to be included in a machining program by designating
95 ora
that process on the PALLET MANAGEMENT display.
20 rp
Fixture offsetting function
r 3 Co
Allows offsetting data from a reference pallet to be designated on the PALLET MANAGE-
be ak
MENT display. Thus, constant machining accuracy can be achieved even when workpieces
um az
of the same type are machined using multiple pallets.

4. Notes
Strictly observe the following notes when using the fixture offsetting function:
1. Data containing the fixture offsetting data is displayed in the field of WPC (workpiece
coordinates) of the POSITION display.
2. Set fixture offsetting data to 0 if the fixture offsetting function is not to be used.
3. Fixture offsetting will not be performed if the table is rotated using a B-code in a manual
programming unit or in an EIA/ISO program. (Fixture offsetting function, however, is
available for the table rotation by an INDEX unit.)
4. Since the fixture offsetting function only corrects offsets parallel to the rectangular axes of
.
coordinates, no corrections are performed for offsets of rotation on any axis.

13-3 Workpiece Measurement Printout Function
13-3-1 Function overview
The workpiece measurement printout system has been developed to take automatic measure-
ments of hole and boss diameter, groove and step width, center to center distance, step
differences and other distances between randomly selected points, angles of slant and the like,
and to provide output of the measuring results (via RS-232C or onto the local disk).
When the printout is made, the system will compare the actual measured value with the desired
value and judge whether or not the results fall within the tolerance range. It will also output the
results of this judgment. Further, it will also automatically conduct tool data compensation when
.
ed
measurement is made of a surface machined by an end mill.
rv
These functions can be used by embedding a designation for calling a macro program for the
se
execution of workpiece measurement printout within normal machining programs that have been
re
written either in MAZATROL programming format or in EIA/ISO code. This type of application will
s
ht
allow the preservation of initial machining accuracy as well as the rapid discovery of any
rig
non-conforming parts.

This subsection describes each of the macroprograms of WNos. 9100 to 9135.
1. Workpiece measurement initial setting (WNo. 9100)
This program is responsible for the designation of common data to be used in workpiece
measurement, the initializing of common variables, parts counting management and the auto-
matic tool change operation for the touch sensor. It should always be called out immediately
before any measuring operation.

13-4 Geometry Compensation Function
13-4-1 Function general
1. Geometry compensation function
Machining at rapid feed will generally degrade a geometry accuracy in proportion to the feed rate.
For example, delayed follow-up of smoothing circuit and servo system occurs in circular cutting,
making a smaller workpiece than commanded circle radius.
Our CNC unit allows conventional geometry errors to be reduced by using geometry compen-
sation function. The geometry compensation function is composed of the following five functions:

Although a very small line segment forms a very small block-to-block angle and thus provides
smooth interpolation, it may not become possible for optimal corner deceleration to be achieved.
This, however, becomes possible with a vectorial accuracy interpolation function since smoother
interpolation can be obtained.
(Precise vector interpolation is valid only for the geometry compensation function.)

7. Feed clamping for circular interpolation
Circular interpolation with a constant speed on the motion path requires the rate of feed on the
controlled axes concerned to be precisely changed in accordance with the change in the
tangential direction. The command speed can be obtained even in circular interpolation, indeed,
when the radius (R) of the arc is large enough with respect to the specified rate of feed (F). In the
case of a relatively small radius, however, the rate of feed is clamped in such a manner that the
acceleration (A) required for the circular path may not overstep the maximum permissible value
(Amax) for the pre-interpolation acceleration/deceleration control.

2. Pre-interpolation acceleration/deceleration is valid for the G61.1 command block onward.
3. The feedrate which has been set using command F is limited to the value obtained by the
following expression:
Maximum cutting feedrate M3 × Speed limit magnification L76
If the value that has thus been obtained is in excess of the rapid feedrate value of M1, the

Maximum feed 2 when geometry compensation function is available represents the
C
maximum feed to keep a geometry error within 10 m.
Error hen geometry compensation is available represents a geometry error at the

Remark 2:
Maximum cutting feed in normal machining mode represents the maximum feed to keep
a geometry error within 10 m.
Error in normal machining mode represents a geometry error at the maximum feed 2
when geometry compensation function is available.
Note : An increased feed forward gain causes a decreased geometry error. However, it
causes vibration to the machine, which may deteriorate the surface roughness of
cutting surface.

Any MAZATROL program that has been created using the MATRIX can be converted into an
EIA/ISO program by EIA/ISO conversion. Conversion into an EIA/ISO program makes machining
possible even with a machine not having a MAZATROL NC.
As for point-machining, two output schemes are available for an EIA/ISO converted program, as

13-7-5 Supplementary description and precautions
MAZATROL programs operate with reference to the machine status during processing.
Programs that have been converted into EIA/ISO ones, on the other hand, are those which
correspond with the machine status at the conversion into the EIA/ISO format.
Therefore, the EIA/ISO converted program must be edited accordingly when it is to be run on
another machine, as well as after changing tools to be used or modifying tool data.
1. The parameters that were valid during conversion are considered during output of an
EIA/ISO converted program. EIA/ISO converted program will not be affected even if
modifications are performed on a parameter that is used in a MAZATROL program.

7. If line and face machining units in the source program require one section to be used

section into a subprogram and calling it up repeatedly.
A sequence number is set on the beginning line of the subprogram section, and M99 on the
ending line. M98<_>H _ is set in the main program to call up the particular subprogram
section.
Whether a subprogram is to be created can be selected by setting bit 0 of parameter F88.
Set the bit to “1” for creation, or “0” for no creation.
The created subprogram is automatically named by adding “-SUB” to the main program
name.
Example : When the name of the main program is “1001”, then the subprogram is named

13-8-2 Data concerned
Except for programs, the unit system change function acts upon the following two types of data:
1. Variable data (on the displays PARAMETER, WORK OFFSET, CUTTING CONDITION,
CUTTING CONDITION LEARN and ADDITIONAL WPC)
Variable data are preset in both inch and metric units prior to shipping. The modification of a
preset value in one unit system cannot be supported by an automatic modification of the
corresponding data in the other. Manually modify the data concerned, therefore, as required
to effectively use the unit system change function.
2. Characteristic data (on the displays TOOL DATA, TOOL FILE, TOOL OFFSET, HEAD
OFFSET, and the FIX. OFFSET data on the PALLET MANAGEMENT display)
.
ed
Independently of the present function, characteristic data are automatically converted into
rv
values appropriate to the unit system currently selected. No manual modification of
se
characteristic data, therefore, is required for the present function.
re
The present function does not refer to any data other than the above.

13-8-4 Internal management of data
1. Variable data (on the displays PARAMETER, WORK OFFSET, CUTTING CONDITION,
CUTTING CONDITION LEARN and ADDITIONAL WPC)
The NC unit has two storage areas provided for variable data: area of “inch data and metric
data for saving” and that of “data being used”. The latter is updated according to the
particular setting of the parameter concerned as follows:
Power off: The “data being used” are automatically saved onto the storage area of “inch or
metric data for saving” according to the value in bit 4 of parameter F91.
Power back on: The “inch or metric data for saving” are automatically copied onto the area
of “data being used” according to the value in bit 4 of parameter F91.

13-10-1 Outline
If a synchronous tapping process should be stopped halfway due to an emergency stop or abrupt
switching-off, the normal conditions for automatic operation cannot be recovered in general
without cautious removal of the tap from the workpiece by hand, a very time-consuming job.
The function in question allows the tap to be taken automatically out of the workpiece, resulting
in a reduction of recovery time.

13-10-3 Supplementary notes
1. The tap retract function cannot be used for an asynchronous tapping process.
2. It is not advisable to use the tap retract function again after a tap retracting operation is
interrupted by resetting or an emergency stop, for the reason that the appropriate synchro-
nization of axis feed and spindle rotation may not be obtained any more in general.
3. The SAFETY SHIELD function is suppressed during tap retracting operation.
