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!

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
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.
Construction
geometries
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.

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.
