When all machining operations for the defined contour have been completed, the following text is displayed: "... END OF AUTOMATIC... (0) Clamping: 1" If an error message appears in Automatic mode, you should refer to the Operator's Guide Part 1: Programming where you will find information on causes of error and how to rectify them in Section 7. The (theoretically) equipped toolholder includes all tools needed for this programming example! Before testing a part program generated by the Graphic Programming System on the machine, it is crucial to check that the theoretical toolholder feeding implemented in AutoTurn matches the practical tool memory allocation! If the wrong tools are used, human injury and damage to machinery and equipment can result! 4-52 Siemens AG All rights reserved.

53 Part Programming Automatic / Tools / Machining plan Machining plan Press the softkey "Machining plan". You now see all operations together with information on tools, calculated cutting speeds and feedrates. Back With the softkey "Back" you again exit the machining plan.

Please refer to the full Operator's Guide for a description of the tools and the toolholder! End Yes Yes Yes Edit With "End" you conclude entry of your workpiece and using softkey "Yes" you can save your AutoTurn program. With "Yes" you generate NC data, TOA data, time calculations and the setup sheet and store them. Answer the query: "Transfer data to NC?" with "Yes" and the created workpiece is selected for machining and can be started directly via "NC Start". With AutoTurn you can also edit all the above mentioned files by pressing the softkey "Edit". Siemens AG All rights reserved. 4-55

56 4. Part Programming Program management The selection menu that appears on the screen after this key is operated displays all files that have been created. Using the cursor keys, highlight the file you want OK and confirm with the "OK" softkey. The general Operator's Guide for the SINUMERIK 840D describes how to use the editor. Program managem. Your new workpiece PART5678 is now entered under the softkey "Program management" Siemens AG All rights reserved.

58 5. Functions in SW 4 and higher Functions in SW 4.2 and higher The Graphic Programming System AutoTurn as from SW 4 has been extended to include the following functions: Extended blank shapes With the function "Free definition" you can define any blank using all the options available for creation of a finished part geometry: Cylinder / Taper / Circle / Contour / Compensation If your blank has an equidistant allowance around the finished part contour you can define the blank geometry with the function "Allowance finished part instead of using the free definition function. Face end machining Construction geometries In addition to the finished part geometry contours outside / inside available until now, three additional contour planes are suggested: Face end right Face end left Peripheral You can program holes, thread holes, slots and free contours (pockets, islands, open contours) on each of these three new contour planes. Using construction geometries the Graphic Programming System AutoTurn calculates unknown contour points from construction lines and circles. You can use this function, for example, to produce a free pocket contour initially using construction geometries and then put together the desired contour that you actually wish to machine from selected geometry elements Siemens AG All rights reserved.
