Programming

• DIN/ISO free or supported entry

• Part programming IPP
Position data 
Commanded, actual and distance to go positions for straight lines and arcs in Cartesian
or polar coordinates, positions are absolute, display and entries in mm or inch

Contour approach and departure

• via straight line; tangential or perpendicular

• via rounding radius

• via helices

Tool compensation

Tool radius in the working plane and tool length

Tool tables

Tool table for 255 tools

Tool control

With the integrated PLC the tool changer is controlled. The entire tool control including tool life, spare tool and oversized tools is done by the MillPlus.

Cutting data calculation

The MillPlus calculates the optimum values for feed and speed by means of the selected material and tool.

Constant contouring speed

• Relative to the path of the tool centre

• Relative to the tool's cutting edge

5-axis machining

• Feed reduction during plunging

• 3-D-Tool compensation through surface normal vectors

• Jerk reduction

 Look Ahead Feed

For feed adaptation, the MillPlus performs a pre-calculation of the geometry (150 blocks). In this way changes in direction are recognized in due time to reduce or increase the feed of the relevant NC-axes.

Free selectable plane

The MillPlus has a special coordinates transformation to control swivel heads and tilting tables. The offset of the swivel axes and the tool length is compensated by the MillPlus.

TCPM

Tool Center Point Management. The offset of the swivel axis is corrected in such a way that the position of the tool tip is kept relative to the contour.

Dynamic TCPM

The MillPlus controls the rotary axis and the compensation movement of the linear axes in such a way that the tool contact point follows exactly the programmed path with the programmed tool vector.

Rotating table machining

• Programming of contours on a cylinder

• Feed in mm/min

Milling/turning applications

• Turning cycles: Stock removal, boring and Infeed radial/axial

• Turning axis programmable as a spindle

• Constant cutting speed

• Programmable tool orientation

• Unbalance determination and compensation

Free contour programming

Contour programming with graphic support for workpiece drawings not dimensioned for NC (ICP)

Subprogramming

Program section repeats, subprograms, program calls

EASYoperate

Manual operation

 
Set up and preset zero point 
• Easy entry and maching of cycles including take over position (Teach-in \ Play-back) 
• graphic support during cycle programming

Fixed cycles

• Drilling / centre, peck drilling, tapping with or without floating tap holder, reaming, boring, hole patterns, slot milling, rectangular and circular pocket milling, facing, countersink

• Contour pockets - contour parallel - with islands

• Measuring cycles

OEM cycles

With cycle design OEM cycles can be made, including support-graphics, -adresses and -texts

Parallel operation

Creating programs with graphic support while another program is being run

Coordinate transformation

• Datum shift, rotation, mirror image

• Scaling factor

Points

• Programming with points from points memory (256)

Programming aids

• Grafic support during programming: DIN/ISO, ICP and IPP

• Extended information via the help-key

• Technology tables: (Feed and speed proposition)

E parameter

Programming with variables

• Mathematical functions: =, +, -, *, sin α, cos α, /

• Logical comparisons: (=, <>, >, >=, <, <=)

• Parentheses

• tan α, arcus sin, arcus cos, arcus tan,

an, en, ln, log, absolute value of a number, constant π, neagation,

truncation of digits in front of or behind the decimal point

Returning to the contour

• Mid-program startup in any block in the program, returning the tool to the calculated nominal position to continue machining.

• Program interrupt, contour departure and reapproach

Datum tables

Datum tables with 99 zero points inclusive text

Pallet management

For easy management of pallets, work pieces and tools for automatic machining of manufacturing jobs, controlled via the PLC
