PP - T67 Fanuc

General Information

The standard has four configuration pages to manage all options available : CNC Controller : contains the options about CNC. Turning : contains the options of the turning technology. Code Management : allows to specify some codes for NC output. File Management : give some options for the NC file output.

1     CNC Controller page

1.1          CNC Controller - % at program begin / end

1.2          CNC Controller - Program number defined by

1.3          CNC Controller - Program Name as comment

1.4          CNC Controller – Use G10 to manage origin

 1.5          Standard G Code – Spindle limitation code

1.6          Standard G Code – Feed Code

1.7          Standard G Code – Use G90 code

1.8          Cycles – G83/G87 type cycle

You can define here if you want to use deburring or chip-breaking drilling cycle on axial and radial directions. The selection of this option is made on the controller using the parameter 5101 bit 2 (0 is for deburring & 1 is for chipbreaking).

3.9          Cycles – Bottom of hole

Define how the end of hole altitude is output for live tools.

1.10       Cycles – Threading Cycle

1.11       Cycles – Multiple Threading Cycle Type

1.12       Cycles – Code for decomposed Threading cycle

The Threading cycle to be set to “decomposed” in the Generator.

2      Turning page

2.1          Turning – Output Stock for CNC Simulation

2.2          Turning – Output Tool and Plane for all operations

2.3          Turning – Use Parameters for Feed

2.4             Turning – Position Constant Cutting Speed

2.5          Tool Option – Output Tool List

2.6          Origin Option – Output Origin List

2.7          Origin Option – Multi Origin Management

Without MTE :

If the option is set to “Origin Only” for each origin define on the part, we will output a different G code, G54, then G55, G56 … It means you are limited by the number of origin managed by the CNC. If you can have more origin, you must use the second option “Origin + Offset”

If the option is set to “Origin + Offset” it will only output G54 and offset with G52

With MTE :

The origin can be define in the name of the origin with the following syntax “$G54_”. It means G54 will be used in the NC program. If there is no decoded name define, it will output the default origin G54.

If you use “Origin + Offset”, you must use only one origin for all your operation because all the offset are compute from the reference plane origin or single origin.

You can add every text after the underscore to recognized your offset “$G54_Up”, “$G54_Right”, …

With B axis machine :

The origin offset is output with the tilted plane function G68.2 if is set to be output. So it means no G52 is output.

2.8          Coolant Option – Coolant Activation Position

The second and third option will give the same output for turning operation.

There will be a difference by milling operations using livetools.

3     Code management page

3.1          Code Management – Enable C Axis Code

3.2          Code Management – Disable C Axis Code

3.3          Code Management – Clamping Code

3.4          Code Management – Unclamping Code

3.5          Code Management – Use axial interpolation mode

If machine don’t have G112 or G12.1 option the output can be done in decomposed.

No circular interpolation will be output don’t use tool offset

Option	Result
	Output axial operation with G112
	Output axial operation decomposed

3.6          Code Management – Enable Axial Interpo Code

If the field is empty, the code used by default will be G12.1

 3.7          Code Management – Disable Axial Interpo Code

If the field is empty, the code used by default will be G13.1

3.9          Code Management – Enable Radial Interpo Code

If the field is empty, the code used by default will be G07.1

3.10       Code Management – Disable Radial Interpo Code 

If the field is empty, the code used by default will be G07.1

3.11          Primary axis option – Management of primary axis

4     File management page

4.1          File Management – One physical File per Channel

Option	File 1	File 2
	O1000 (FIRST CHANNEL PROGRAM) … … M30   O1001 (SECOND CHANNEL PROGRAMM) … … M30
	O1000 (FIRST CHANNEL PROGRAM) … … M30	O1001 (SECOND CHANNEL PROGRAMM) … … M30

 4.2          File Management – Generate the channel even if empty

Option	Result
	If a channel is empty no output of the program
	If a channel is empty, the program will be output (but empty (Just O1001 and M30 will be output)

 4.3          Listing / Synchronized File – Generate the Listing File

You need to set the Synchro Number mini & maxi to output the listing

Option	Result
	Don’t generate the file to see the synchro between channels.
	Generate the file to see the synchro between channels.

The file with the name Listing.TXT will be temporarily generated and shown.

•     Listing / Synchronized File – Synchro Numbers (Mini / Maxi)

Define here the synchronization Numbers (for example 500 – 540)

The post processor will search for the synchronizations numbers between these mini and maxi values to generate the Listing.TXT file.

5     Launch page

5.1          Name of the NC File : Define here the Name of the generated NC file.

The extension is to be defined in the MCT configuration.

5.2          Program Number : If 0 is defined, the program Number will be set to 1.

5.3          Comment Output :

5.4          Block Numbers :

5.5          Code for Program End :
