With the softkey "Window" (see Section "Views") you can zoom part of the workpiece and then restart and view in detail the machining operations with the softkey "Begin again" and the softkey, "Simulation all". With this softkey, sections of work are refreshed without displaying the tool. Press the softkey "Back". 4-54 Siemens AG 1999. All rights reserved.

09.95 4. Part Programming Program management Continue Press the softkey "Continue" to see which tools are in the toolholder. 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 1999. All rights reserved. 4-55

4. Part Programming 09.95 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". 4-56 Siemens AG 1999. All rights reserved.

5. Functions in SW 4 and higher 09.99 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. 5-58 Siemens AG 1999.

09.99 5. Functions in SW 4 and higher Functions in SW 4.2 and higher Counterspindle The counterspindle functionality allows you to effectively machine turned parts on a machine with main spindle and counterspindle either asynchronously with one toolholder or synchronously with two toolholders.

5. Functions in SW 4 and higher 09.99 Functions in SW 4.3 and higher AutoTurn PC / AutoTurn Plus PC Functionality as with AutoTurn or AutoTurn Plus. The software runs on a conventional PC under Windows 95. Advantage: Preparing AutoTurn programs for job planning. Coupling to CAD systems The CAD coupling is used to process complex parts, which were constructed by the customer by means of CAD systems, by applying AutoTurn. CAD information must be saved in the form of DXF files. AutoTurn reads in these DXF files and filters the customer-specific information such as dimensions and shading etc. from this file. This saves programming for unmachined part and finished product processing. The data are stored in the Clipboard. 5-60 Siemens AG 1999. All rights reserved.
