Techno Functions

Presentation

Definition: adding of a CNC function between two machining operations.

In some cases, the post-processor has to be customized to generate the techno cycles in the ISO program. Furthermore, the machines are not systematically able to treat some specific functions, please contact us for more information.

These additional functions are different for milling, turning and EDM :

List of the Milling Functions

List of the Turning Functions

List of the EDM Functions

To create a techno function

1/ Right-click on the line Machining in the machining tree.

2/ Click on Techno Functions.
Fill the parameters in the dialog bar ; name of the operation, type of function, time (used for time calculation).

3/ Some techno functions can be completed with a NC Block Macro

4/ In the machining tree, click on the cycle preceding the techno function you include, in this case the Roughing. The techno function reacts as a cycle and is accessible in the machining tree.

The function is represented by an icon at its location.

Techno Functions:

  • When creating a techno cycle, you have access to the channel number for some functions, allowing you to enter a value between 0 (all channels) and the maximum number of channels.

  • In the locking of axis window, you can also now assign a secondary channel to techno cycles, allowing the techno to be assigned to two different channels.
