SINUMERIK 840D/840Di/810D Operation/Programming ShopMill (BAS) – 10.04 Edition
You can display the execution of programs on the screen
three-dimensionally.
This makes it easy for you to check the result of programming and to
observe the progress of workpiece machining at the machine
(software option).
The execution of sequential control programs is a software option.
ShopMill stores your tool data. The software can also manage the
data for tools that are not in the tool magazine.
Programs can be created simply by copying and modifying similar
programs; there is no need to start again from the beginning.
With ShopMill you can implement multiple clamping of identical or
different (software option) workpieces with optimization of the tool
sequence.
You can access external programs from a network or from a diskette
drive (software option).
Two typical working situations are considered separately in this
Guide.
You want to execute a program for the purpose of automatically
machining a workpiece.
You want to create the program to be used for machining a
workpiece.
Before you execute a program, you have to set up your machine. You
must perform the following steps with the support of ShopMill (see
Sec. "Operation"):
approach the reference point of the machine
(only for incremental position measuring systems)
gauge the tools
define the workpiece zero
enter any other work offsets
When you have finished setting up the machine, you can select a
program and execute it automatically (see Sec. "Automatic
operation").
