Page 15 Pre -defined labeling strips for keys of the MCP ① The MCP package includes two sets (six pieces each) of pre-defined labeling strips. One set ( as shown below) is for the ② turning variant of the control system and pre-inserted on the back of the MCP. The other set ( as shown below) is for the milling variant of the control system.
Page 16: Coordinate Systems
Coordinate systems As a rule, a coordinate system is formed from three mutually perpendicular coordinate axes. The positive directions of the coordinate axes are defined using the Cartesian coordinate system. The coordinate system is related to the workpiece and programming takes place independently of whether the tool or the workpiece is being traversed. When programming, it is always assumed that the tool traverses relative to the coordinate system of the workpiece, which is intended to be stationary.
Page 17 Wo rkpiece coordinate system (WCS) To describe the geometry of a workpiece in the workpiece program, a right-handed, right-angled coordinate system is also used. Generally, X0/Y0 of the WCS is set at the center, edge or corner of the workpiece while Z0 is set on the top surface of the workpiece.
Page 18: Protection Levels

11.9.2 Rounding, chamfer Fu n ctionality You can insert the chamfer (CHF or CHR) or rounding (RND) elements into a contour corner. If you wish to round several contour corners sequentially by the same method, use "Modal rounding" (RNDM). You can program the feedrate for the chamfer/rounding with FRC (non-modal) or FRCM (modal). If FRC/FRCM is not programmed, the normal feedrate F is applied.

11.10 Tool and tool offset 11.10.1 General Information Fu n ctionality When creating programs for machining workpieces, it is not necessary to take into account the tool length or the tool radius. You program the workpiece dimensions directly, for example following the drawing. You enter the tool data separately in a special data section.

11.10.2 Tool T Fu n ctionality The tool selection takes place when the T word is programmed. Whether this is a to ol change or only a p reselection, is defined in the machine data: ● The tool change (tool call) is performed either directly using the T word or ●...
Page 117 In formation The to ol length compensations are effective i mmediately once the tool is active - if no D number has been programmed - with the values of D1. The offset is applied with the first programmed traverse of the respective length offset axis. Observe any active G17 to G19. A to o l radius compensation must also be activated by G41/G42.
Page 118 To ol special cases For the tool types 'cutter' and 'drill', the parameters for length 2 and length 3 are only required for special cases (e.g. multi- dimensional length offset for an angle head construction). See the following illustration for effect of the tool length compensation - 3D (special case): See the following illustration for effect of the offsets with the tool type 'drill': See the following illustration for effect of the offsets with the tool type 'cutter': Programming and Operating Manual (Milling)
Page 119: Selecting The Tool Radius Compensation: G41, G42
11.10.4 Selecting the tool radius compensation: G41, G42 Fu n ctionality The control system is working with tool radius compensation in the selected plane G17 to G19. A tool with a corresponding D number must be active. The tool radius compensation is activated by G41/G42. The control system automatically calculates the required equidistant tool paths for the programmed contour for the respective current tool radius.
Page 120 Sta rting the compensation The tool travels in a straight line directly to the contour and is positioned perpendicular to the path tangent at the starting point of the contour. Select the starting point such that a collision-free travel is ensured. See the following illustration for start of the tool radius compensation with G42 as example: The tool tip goes around the left of the workpiece when the tool runs clockwise using G41;...
Page 121: Corner Behavior: G450, G451
11.10.5 Corner behavior: G450, G451 Fu n ctionality By using the functions G450 and G451, you can set the behavior for a non-continuous transition from one contour element to another contour element (corner behavior) when G41/G42 is active. The internal and external corners are detected by the control system itself. For internal corners, the intersection of the equidistant paths is always approached.
Page 122: Tool Radius Compensation Off: G40
In this case, the control system switches to transition circle for this block automatically if a certain set angle value (100°) is reached. See the following illustration for acute contour angle and switching to transition circle: 11.10.6 Tool radius compensation OFF: G40 Fu n ctionality The compensation mode (G41/G42) is deselected with G40.

Page 149 Offset contour normal OFFN (transformation type 513) To mill grooves with TRACYL, the following is programmed: ● Groove center line in the part program ● Half the groove width programmed using OFFN. To avoid damage to the groove side OFFN acts only when the tool radius compensation is active. Furthermore, OFFN should also be >= the tool radius to avoid damage occurring to the opposite side of the groove.

● It is possible to change OFFN within a part program. This could be used to shift the groove center line from the center (see diagram). ● Guiding grooves: TRACYL does not create the same groove for guiding grooves as it would be with a tool with the diameter producing the width of the groove.

Then, the programmed retraction positions are approached in rapid traverse, and from there the retraction plane is approached.
Page 178 R PO (retraction path along the second axis) Use this parameter to define a retraction movement along the second axis (ordinate), which is executed after the final drilling depth has been reached and oriented spindle stop has been performed. R PAP (retraction path along the drilling axis) You use this parameter to define a retraction movement along the drilling axis, which is executed after the final drilling axis has been reached and oriented spindle stop has been performed.

12.5 Drilling pattern cycles The drilling pattern cycles only describe the geometry of an arrangement of drilling holes in the plane. The link to a drilling process is established via the modal call of this drilling cycle before the drilling pattern cycle is programmed. 12.5.1 Requirements D rilling pattern cycles without drilling cycle call...
Page 180 Se quence To avoid unnecessary travel, the cycle calculates whether the row of holes is machined starting from the first hole or the last hole from the actual position of the plane axes and the geometry of the row of holes. The drilling positions are then approached one after the other at rapid traverse.
Page 181 drilling is carried out using CYCLE82, and then tapping is performed using CYCLE84 (tapping without compensating chuck). The holes are 80 mm in depth (difference between reference plane and final drilling depth).

Explanation of the parameters C PA, CPO and RAD (center point position and radius) The position of the circle of holes in the machining plane is defined via center point (parameters CPA and CPO) and radius (parameter RAD).
Page 184 Programming example 1: Circle of holes The program uses CYCLE82 to produce four holes having a depth of 30 mm. The final drilling depth is specified as a relative value to the reference plane. The circle is defined by the center point X70 Y60 and the radius 42 mm in the XY plane. The starting angle is 33 degrees.

If the position pattern consists of only one position, the tool is retracted to the retraction plane after machining.
Page 187: Face Milling - Cycle71
Pl ane definition Milling cycles generally assume that the current workpiece coordinate system has been defined by selecting a plane (G17, G18 or G19) and activating a programmable frame (if necessary). The infeed axis is always the third axis of this coordinate system.

Page 189 Face milling can be performed in several planes based on the programmed values _DP, _MID and _FALD. Machining is carried out from the top downward, i.e. one plane each is removed and then the next depth infeed is carried out in the open (_FDP parameters).
Page 190 _D P (depth) The depth can be specified as an absolute value (_DP) to the reference plane. _PA, _PO (starting point) Use the parameters _PA and _PO to define the starting point of the area in the axes of the plane. _L ENG, _WID (length) Use the parameters _LENG and _WID to define the length and width of a rectangle in the plane.

For finishing, a face cutter is required. The depth infeed is always carried out in the position upstream of the semi-circle style approach to the contour.
Page 202 The tool is fed to the safety clearance (SDIS) at rapid traverse with subsequent traversing to the machining depth at feedrate. To approach the spigot contour, the tool travels along a semi-circular path. The milling direction can be determined either as up-cut milling or down-cut milling with reference to the spindle direction. If the spigot is bypassed once, the contour is left along a semi-circle in the plane, and the tool is fed to the next machining depth.
Page 203 Using the CDIR parameter, the milling direction can be programmed directly with "2 for G2" and "3 for G3", or alternatively with "synchronous milling" or "conventional milling". Down-cut and up-cut milling are determined internally in the cycle via the direction of rotation of the spindle activated prior to calling the cycle.
