Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing the Auto Programming System for B0265-III / B0265B-III /
B0266-III / B0266A-III / B0325-III / B0325B-III / B0326-III / B0326A-III / B0385-III / B0385B-III /

(hereinafter called “B0386-III Abile”)

Needless to say, the NC machine tool uses the NC program for machining workpieces.
Even when the machine is highly accurate and functional, it is indispensable to create the NC
program in order to bring out its capacity thoroughly.

Assuming that you are the specialist in small-lot machining, you may know the time required for
machining actual products may be very short compared to the time required for creating the NC
program.
And you may always be seeking means for reducing non-machining time required for creating the
NC program, etc.

Tsugami has been investigating the same issue.

We are confident that the “B0386-III Abile” will solve this issue and contribute to the improvement
in productivity.

Although this manual contains a lot of information about “Do’s” and “Don’ts”, it is not possible to
describe them fully. Therefore, anything not stated as “Possible” in this Manual should be

(Example) Front inner Center

Select "Front inner center" from the table of shapes. Conditions of assigning tools for this
shape are listed below.

(1) Tool
Priority is established in the following order:
FRONT CENTER → -FIXED- FRONT CENTER -HOLDER- →FRONT CENTER -
ROTARY-

(2) Process
When the tool “Front Center –Fixed-“ is assigned to the work shape pattern “Front inner
center”, the flow data named "Front Center -Fixed- "s created as below:

Workshape type: [ Front inner Center ] + Tool type : [ Front Center -Fixed- ]

Process : [ Front Side Centering -Fixed- ]

(3) Angle
Input conditions of the angle. In case of "Work = Tool", the angle input for defining the
shape and the angle input for setting the tool need to be identical. When using the center
tool, the angle for setting the tool needs to be 90° if the angle for defining the shape is set
to 90°. This indicates that no tool can be assigned to the shape unless conditions are
satisfied.

(4) Width
Input conditions of the width. “Front inner center” can be selected unconditionally.
In case of grooving, this setting is used for the grooving tool width.

(5) Diameter
Input conditions of the diameter. In case of “Work ≤ Tool”, the diameter input for setting
the workpiece needs to be identical to or smaller than the diameter input for setting the
tool. When using a drill, the diameter needs to be based on “Work = Tool”.
