For best results it is essential that the information set forth in this manual on the fundamental method of creating ordinary machining programs be thoroughly read and understood before operating the machine. 0-01Pre 1-4. Programmer's Responsibility The most important thing in the operation of the CNC turret punch press is the program created by the programmer. Personnel who know how to read component drawings and have knowledge of the actual punching processes are most suitable for being programmers but there are factories where young persons, both ‘male and female, are working as programmers since even complicated programs can be simplified by means of Wiedepoint, and Murata's proprietary software. The programmer must know items necessary in production, and whether the operation is repetitive or not. The programmer must be able to select the most economic method whether it be machining the part as one piece or as multiple pieces and then parting off later. Whether or not operation is efficiently performed depends largely on the program prepared by the programmer. Hence high responsibilities are taken by the programmer. ‘The programmer is required to prepare the program bearing the following points described below in mind. Programmer responsibilities 1) Produce accurate programs 2) Take production lots into consideration. 3) Designate turret layout. 4) Designate workholder locations. 5) Select an appropriate table speed (and ram speed for MOTORUM, VECTRUM series) that can stabilize machining 6) Notify press operators of any special operations 7) Understand tool usage. 8) Make product sheet layouts. We hold the training course for those who have purchased any one of the CAMPATH series automatic programming systems. 1-2. Part Program stn oT SS Se ii ‘The part program will vary according to changes in the following items. 1) Type of NC (FANUC 16 or 00 or 0) 2) Press model a) Table b) Turret ©) Station capacity, Index tool (1/T), presence or absence of the G H station 3) Option (loader ete.) 1011-3.

(Q) Turret Layout = Arrangement of chosen tools on turret. ~ Notify press operators after they have been arranged. @) Sheet Layout ~ Decide whether parts are to be single or to be nested. (Multiple part punching) ~ This decision should be made after confirming part measurements, workholder safety zone, and whether or not workholders can clamp the worksheet, ~ Layout the sheet according to the the needs of the production lot, (4) Calculation of Work Sheet Measurements ~ Notify press personnel of work sheet measurements after sheet layout is finished. (9) Designation of Workholder Location 5 ~ Designate the location and the number of the workholders so that punching locations may not enter workholder safety zone and that machining can be stabilized. (Refer to page 1-08) = The operator should manually install the workholder according to the operation instructions, (© Selection of table speed and ram speed ~ Set up the table speed at which stripping failure or workpiece dislocation will not occur. 25~ 100% ~ Select an appropriate ram speed (for the MOTORUM, VECTRUM series) considering tool life as well as stripping failure possibility 1-3-2, Begin Programming (Start preparing the program when prepat ions have been made.) (1) Program staring from right edge. If table is moved by a large amount from the start of punching operation, it can result in such incidents as the work sheet edge being caught in the turrets. In that event, limiting the table travel range should be considered, 1-03@) GB) @ 6) o @ (8) o Create a program where the Y axis does not move much. If the Y axis is moved largely, the workpiece may be dislodged, resulting in accidents, + [ox] | | aE ‘Tools should be used beginning with the smallest diameter towards the largest, and from round punches to square punches. Comer notching and special tools should be programmed last. Multiple hole punching When punching a large number of holes in a small area, surplus area should be provided in the sheet layout and careful consideration given to the order of punching to prevent distortion of the work sheet. Effective use of OFS/ (Refer to Section 11. Local Coordinate Designation) This is used to move program zero point to an advantageous point when using a left- over material, and avoid entry into the workholder safety zone. ‘Tool-by-tool partial call by PAT+#/ (Refer to Section 12. Macro Function) PAT/*«(macto function) command is used to store a pattern which is repeated by the same tool on the same work sheet. Multiple punching commands (Refer to Section 13. Macro Grid) Machine the part as multiple pieces by PATS that is called by issuing the macrogrid MGRY command. Selection of parting off method (Refer to Section 20. Micro-Joints) ‘A decision must be made on whether punching or shearing is to be the method used for cutting, If punching is decided upon, a punching program must be made. The next decision to be made is whether or not micro-jointing is to be done. If not, then the method of removal must be decided, ‘If punching the parting lines is decided upon, then precautions must be taken to ensure that the coordinate system used in punching and the one used in shearing must be coincided Otherwise, work dimensions will become inaccurate, Maximum amount of REP/ (Refer to Section 14. Repositioning) ‘The REP/ command is used depending on work sheet length. It is necessary to use the REP/ command to reposition the workholders when the size of the work sheet exceeds the effective stroke of X axis (Refer to 1-4-4, X Axis Travel). Note that, depending on the work, there may be cases in which it is necessary to reposition the workholders even though the above values are not exceeded. 104(10) Punching with forming tools Punching with forming tools (louvers, burrings, lancing, etc.) or punching at comers should be done last since punching operation with forming tools might cause the tools to be caught in the turret, etc (11)_ Designation of unloading position (Refer to Section 1-5 page 1-14) It is necessary to return the table to the position it was in at the beginning of the punching operation once the punching operation is completed. Generally, the unloading position is set same as the loading position by the following commands: C-2000, M-2034 X1250Y1000M30 M-2044 X1250Y1250M30 X1250Y1280M30 [x1250¥1570M30 X2500¥1525M30 C-3000, V-3000, V-30460. | X2000¥1525M30 C-3500, V-3056e. X2000¥1830M30 M-5000, V5 series X1830Y1525M30 (12) Program Punch Out (NC data) Once the program is completed, it is punched out as an NC tape or FD, There are following two NC data punch out methods. ‘The tape is punched out directly as the keys are pressed, It is necessary to conduct a tape check when finished, 2) Automatic programming This method uses CAMPATH, an automatic programming system. This method allows a program to be checked by plotting the programmed path. (13) Program Check Once a program has been completed, it is necessary to check it to ensure that it operates as it was intended to, The following methods are available to the programmer. 1) Automatic If CAMPATH, an automatic programming system is used, the program can be checked by plotting the programmed path, eliminating wasted of work sheets, 2) Center punch method Set a center punch in the turret and index it to the punch center. After pushing the [TURRET OFF] button, start punching operation on the OFF state of the turret, and a measurement check is made of the markings made at the punching points. 1-053) Format check in the machine lock mode Set the machine lock mode. While the mechanical movements are not actually executed, the NC will operate as normal, enabling the detection of any formatting errors. 4) Punch off Push the [PUNCH OFF] button and lock the punching operation, then start operation, Although the table and turret will operate as programmed, no punching will occur, In program check, work holder safety zone, sheet getting struck in turrets ete. can be checked without actually punching. (14) Confirmation of Operation Instructions 1) Turret layout Confirm that punches and dies are installed in their designated stations, Confirm that die clearance is as designated 2) Work sheet dimensions 3) Workholder locations Be sure that the workholders are located in their designated locations 4) Confirmation of table and motor speed (Refer to page 1-07) Table speed may have to be varied depending on the punching shapes, sheet thickness and special punching operations. 5) Confirmation of special operation instructions The programmer must instruct the press operators on operations that include stopping the press for slug removal, and changes in work sheet return location because of repositioning, Although programming procedure is not limited only to the outlined in steps (1) through (14), it is recommended to observe these steps when programming. 1-06Table Speed Cars cannot run at full speed with full torque, and must save the power considering the road surface, load weight, and the car condition, In the case of punch press machines, ifthe table speed is too fast, the following problems may arise. In such a case, slow down the speed by the buttons or M codes in the program. ~ Punching cannot follow the table movement, resulting in stripping failure. - Workpiece is dislodged from the workholder. ~ Workpiece is dislocated by the table or the turret, = Accuracy is poor. = Micro joints are cut off, ~ The workpiece bottom surface is damaged, ‘The reasons for slowing down the table speed are classified into two categories: 1) Restrictions from workpiece conditions ) Workpiece is heavy. b) Workpiece is large. ©) Workpiece is narrow, 4) Workpiece is thick. ©) Workpiece is thin, 1) Workpiece is distorted. 8) Workpiece camber is great hy) Slag at the workpiece side (sheared surface) is great and is grasped by the fingers i) Workpiece is too hard or sticky. 4) Scratches on the workpiece bottom surface must be minimized, 2) Restrictions from machining-related reasons 4) Gripping force of the workholder is weak +) Gripping position of the workholder is not appropriate ©) Machining distortion occurs (punching metal, etc.) 4) Joints are easily removed ©) Frame width for nesting is small 1) Forming (upward, downward) is to be executed. 8) The tool (punch, die, stripper) is wor out.1-4. Programming Precautions 1-4-1, Programming Coordinate System Second Quadrant | First Quadrant x Third Quadrant | Fourth Quadrant Coordinate systems used in programming change depending on the position of the end locator. It is usually in the first quadrant, but may be located in the second quadrant, depending on the installation position of work loading equipment, (Loaders/ Unloaders) if used. In such a case, X axis ‘commands become negative values. Programming does not vary, however, ifthe programming zero is offset to a proper position using the OFS/ command, whether the quadrant is the first or the second, For the details, refer to Section 19, Second Quadrant Programming, First Quadrant Second Quadrant X1830¥1000M00 X-1830Y1000M00 ‘X100Y200T01 OFS/X-1000 INCIR 505 X100¥200T01 INC/R 505 Punch Center End Locator k-th : i Fi Quadeant Origin Secofd Quadrant Origin Enter offset amount equivalent to work sheet length, 1-084-4-2. Width of Clamp and Work Sheet seen A Workholder safety zone is established around the area of the workholder. An attempt to punch within this zone generates an error. If this occurs, it requires the use of a work sheet with more width or change in programmed commands. ‘Take the safety zone into consid ion while programming. i Et i ea EF >] ol oe 5) - > (Unit: mm) Staton] |iaex teal] eeATB i gc: |r rt) Gs |e Model RP pe fo [v3 [aa [wa [35 | vs [Xo | vo MOTORUMsenes | 70/40 | 70/0] | | | @ [iT] (C2000, 62500 33 | 35 | 108 | 70 ©3000, C3500, 3000 a sel eli) @ [ala Var series wi) | Tw fil er fel M5000, V5 series us [ele fin) fa) 7 FANUC OPB 13) 78 [37] 93 [Aor] HO [189 | 35] ‘The above table gives the safety zone area for standard workholders.

Press Tonnage ——E Punch tonnage changes with changes in the sheet thickness, type of work sheet material, and punch size, Necessary tonnage can be calculated with the following formula. Thickness (mm) x Shearing resistivity (kg/mm?) x Punch outer circumference (mm) 1000 For calculation of tonnage, refer to 7-5 Graph of Tonnage Required for Punching in the "Tooling Manual" 1-101-4-4. X Axis Travel nena Table travel range varies depending on machine models. C-2000, C-2500, M-2034, M-2044, FL-1544 0 ~ 1270 mm M208 [-20~2520mm_ C-3000, C-3500, V-3000, V3a series -25 ~2025 mm M-5000, V5 series. -25 ~ 1855 mm ‘The values listed above indicate the table stroke in the X direction, ‘When punching the sheet, if the size is too great to match these strokes, use the sheet repositioner by issuing the REP command (see Section 14), A sequence of operations performed by the sheet repositioner is given below. ‘Sheet repostioner pad down | Lene a ' y Work holder open ‘Work holder close y ¥ Axis movement Sheet repositioner pad up uw} % After executing the REP/ command, return the table to its original position. The sheet can protrude from the origin, resulting in personal injury, if REP/ command is not cancelled before bringing the table back to the origin.1-4-5. Square Punching (1) The pitch of continuous overlapping punching must be at least 2/3 that of tool size and not larger than the punch measurements, When the pitch is less than work sheet thickness add an edge and then punch. Without the edge, the sheet can be galled under lateral pressure applied by the die due to a too small punching area, (2) Punch parallel to the longest side when using rectangular punch, Always punch within work sheet parallel to the longest side of the punch. Since punching parallel to the shortest side of the punch will result in side pressure being applied and the punch will be shifted to the shortest side direction, do not punch in such way. at (3) An round end punch may be used to avoid seaming caused by continuous overlapping punching. (4) Corner notching Always use punches that are larger than the notch when notching comers. If inaccurate work sheet is being punched, notching at comers with the tool of the same size as the notch, it will leave metal sliver as shown in the diagram. Meta Stiver AK U 121-4-6. Slug Removal nnn It is difficult to continue with punching operations when slugs are left on the table after punching ‘There are two methods of removing the slugs, (1) Manual slug removal Stop table movement with a command such as M00 and remove slugs by hand or with a magnet, etc. (2) Drop all slugs in punching operation Program punching path in such a way that no slug will be left. ‘The decision as whether to have the slugs punched or to manually remove them is based their size. The commands HOL/ and REC/ generate punching path along the required shape and, thus, slugs are inevitably left. Those commands OPN/ and OBL/ on the specified condition will automatically generate paths which do not leave slugs. (3) Comer R slugs slugs When an R80 is to be made with a 420 punch in the comer of the work sheet, slug will result as shown by the hatched lines of the diagram. It is necessary to punch and remove the slug pr to punching the R section, When making a 90 mm notching in comers, and punching is done with a 50 mm square punch in the order of one through four, the section with hatched fines is left off as a slug. In this case, punch from the outside. Punching in the order of 4 > 1 +2» 3 ord +3 2 Lis efficient 113. Programming Zero and Machine Zero ‘When programming, one point is chosen as the origin from which all other measurements are subsequently made, (1) For the CNC turret punch press, the end locator is provided on the left-hand side of the table and the workholder on the lower side, The coordinate system is established taking the origin at the lower left-hand of the work sheet. This coordinate system is called the work coordinate system and the origin of its system is called the programming zero. The distance between the programming zero and the punch center varies depending on machine models. Punch center_Machine zero End locator Program zero \ \_workholder ‘The position from the punch center by the above distance is called loading position. ‘Therefore, the loading position and programming zero are set at the same point. Punch center is called the machine zero (reference point). 2) Origin stored in NC While it is necessary to enter the distance between the programming zero and the machine zero into the NC memory, the control automatically establishes the work coordinate system after zero set (retum to zero) making it unnecessary to enter the following command into the program at the beginning, Initial program loading position setting: ‘The following data becomes not necessary: FRM/ X1830 Y1525 (M-5S000) Itis necessary to enter the unloading position at the end of the program. Example; FRM / X Y _+ M30 Refer to * on page 1-05. Ls1-6. Tape Code A Dit, the smallest unit of data, is expressed by the presence or absence of'a hole on a tape. In the case of an NC tape, 8 bits make one character. Characters combine to make a word. A ‘word contains an alphabet followed by one or more numbers. A word can express dimensions like the X and Y commands, tool selection, or function that the NC is programmed for the press to do. A word is always preceded by a letter called an address code. A block is composed of a number of words and indicates a particular type of operation. For example, one block could include the designations for the amount of X and Y axis movements, tool change and M code. ‘That is, one block is the minimum unit of commands and sent to the press via the NC. When the content of the punching is changed, it is necessary to program the commands in another block. Blocks are separated from each other by a CR (Carriage Return) code. This is expressed by a hole in the eighth channel which is exclusively used for this code (EIA). The information contained by a word only has to be entered when it is necessary. If the word is not necessary or that block is to repeat the content designated by the previous block, then that word may be omitted A channel is the information contained in a row that runs parallel to the edges of the tape and is also called a track or level. A character is a code read by the NC and includes the alphabet symbols, numbers, Punctuation marks, plus, and minus signs and are expressed on one fine in the tape by the presence and absence of holes. ‘The tape is available in 2 types: EIA code and ISO code. The NC automatically determines which code is used with reference to the first end of block code (ELA:CR, ISO:LF) (see page 1-16).Tape Code Chart : | ofelafalsol ef fla lfo|ellelel-foll-lefel falel ala lala[a)-ilfBale il oi I il a I 1-164-6-2, Tape Format nnn NC tape address characters are predetermined and are shown in the tape code char, 1) Program Number (O) Placed atthe beginning of a program, the program number begins with the letter O followed by not ‘more than four digits. This number is used to distinguish the program to be stored in the NC (memory) fiom other programs. Usually this must be specified. of ie ow owt ‘Numbers ranging from 1 through 8999 can be used, However, it should be noted that some of them cannot be used. ‘The program begins with the program number and ends with M30 or M99 (the end of the subprogram). 01234... M30: 03456 ...... M99 Program of 01234 Program of 03456 2) Sequence number (N) Placed at beginning of a block the sequence number begins with the letter N followed by ‘not more than four digits, It is used to indicate what number block it is in sequence from the beginning. 4NT Jf IL IL 1 digits (1-9999) 3) Numerical words (X, Y, C) ‘The numerical values entered after these letters designate a new location in either the X, Y, or C axis. (C is for automatic indexing and is optional.) Programmable range for X and Y axes is +999999.99mm (minimum value is 0.01 mm). ‘The maximum value for C axis is + 359.99° (minimum value is + 0.01°), 4) Tool change function (T) Used when a different punch is to be used, the two-digit number (or 4digit numbers incase of varitool/varimark) following the letter T indicate the number of the turret station containing the next tool to be used, A single digit numbered station is preceded with a zero asin TOL. ‘The number of turret stations and the tool arrangement in each tooling range vary with the model. For command of Vari Tool/Vari Mark, refer to 7-2. And for selection of tools, refer to the "Tooling Manual"Y When the tape has the sequence number instead of the program number, the leading sequence number is replaced by the program number. ‘If the tape is provided with neither the program number nor the sequence number, the program number must be designated on the NC control panel for storage into the memory. 5) M funetion ‘The character M is followed by 00~9999 that designated the particular functions as explained below. a) M00 - program stop ‘This command stops both a punching operation after a designated position has been reached and the program, Next block is proceeded to after the [CYCLE START] button is pressed, [Example of slug removal] MOV/X800Y500 HOL/400 20 3 ‘Moo b) M02 - program end ALMOST NO USE.

Straight and circular continuous overlapping punching use different commands. Nibbling operation will continue until an M13 command is read, An alarm will occur if either a T or M code is used in the block between M12 and M13. 1) M13 - nibbling cancel This command stops the nibbling operation begun by M12. 8) M30 - tape (memory) rewind This command stops punching operation after a designated position has been reached, ‘This command is used to automatically rewind the tape to the beginning after machine operation has been completed and if rewind capability has been added. ‘When press operation is completed and if the executed program is stored in memory, the cursor will automatically return to the beginning of the program. (reset rewind) Therefore, it is recommended to program M30 instead of M02 for commanding the unload position at the end of the program. 119h) Mal - work sheet repositioning This command is used when shifting work holder positions. ‘The following operations are executed when this command is used Sheet repositioner pad down Workholders open i) M42 - work sheet repositioning ‘This command is used when shifting workholder positions. ‘The following operations are executed when this command is used.

For example, either of the following commands are valid X1830¥1525M00 X1830 Y1525 M00 While the space code may be freely used, note that block size is limited to 64 characters. It is possible that excessive use of the space code may result in this limit being exceeded and an error occurring, The space code is always necessary in the pattern function where the space is used to separate variables from one another. This is shown in the following example: BHC/100 904 Another limitation is in the pattern function, The following usages are invalid. 1) Space entered between the slash and first variable. BHC/ 100 904 4012) Space entered within variable.

The most commonly used sizes are $10, $20, and $30. Designed for a work sheet thickness of 3.2 mm, this tool differs from other tolls with urethane strippers and should not be used with thickness greater than 3.2 mm, In addition to NBL/, M code commands (M12 and M13) can be used for nibbling. Differing from NBL, these M codes are used for the work that requires the commands the pattern functions are not capable of, for example continuous overlapping punching on irregular curves T10 cunsnenibbling tool designation MI2. nibbling start xs0¥120 Dx3Dy2 Dx2Dy3 DX2DY3 30 Dx2DY4 t MIB -..neeenibbling end 0 Ifa T or M code is entered between M12 and M13, alarm 144 will occur.

Consequently, it is always necessary that the pattern function reference point be set when giving a pattern command. Pattern function reference point design: in (MOV) The pattern function reference point is the center coordinate of the functions ARC, BHC, RAD, HOL, OPN, RRC, and TG; and is the starting point coordinate of the functions INC, GRD, LAA, CAA,REC, and OBL. Usually, the punch location set in the block preceding the Pattern function becomes the pattem reference point. When a different patter reference ointis to be set, the MOV/ command is used in the following way. MOVIXaYb In this case, only the coordinates are indicated and neither positioning nor punching occurs. When the command MOV/DX a DY b is used, the point located at a distance a, b from present location becomes the pattem reference point. Note that the incremental command Programmed immediately after the pattern function is referenced to the pattern end point. ‘T code may be entered within a MOV/X a Y b command, When it is, the location of T axis is set. MOV/X a Yb TOS Note that M codes may not be entered. * When the reference point remains undesignated, the preceding point serves as the pattern reference point, % Enter MOV/X a Y b absolute coordinate value as the pattern function reference point, 8.04Incremental (Linear pitch punching) INC/a dn This function punches "n” times at pitch "d” mm, in a straight line in direction "a", parallel to either the X or Y axis incremental to either the present tool location or the reference point set by MOV/. 1) "a" designates the following directions.
