, they are manual buttons of Y axis, corresponding to positive and negative motion
direction of Y axis, with shortcut keys as 8 and 2 on the keyboard.
Jog mode and incremental step mode can be switched by .

Under Jog mode, an axis manual button plus number key 0 can be used to switch between jog speed
and rapid jog speed. For example, current rapid jog speed is 1800mm/min, and jog speed
1200mm/min. Pressing down number key 6, current speed will be 1200mm/min; at the same time,
pressing down number key 0, current speed will be 1800mm/min; releasing number key 0, current
speed will be changed to 1200mm/min.
Under incremental step mode, step length can be customized, and the corresponding axis will move
the custom step length with each press of X or Y axis manual button. The lower limit of customized
step is 0.01mm; when the set value is smaller than 0.01mm, the system will take 0.01mm instead
automatically.
 [Set WorkOrg (F5)]
As , clicking this button will set current coordinates as workpiece origin.

Generally the start point of workpiece machining, workpiece origin is set for the sake of workpiece
dimension programming. It is fixed relative to a certain point on workpiece, while floating relative to
machine origin (home).
 [BackWorkOrg (F6)]
As , clicking this button will make spindle back to workpiece origin automatically from current
position.
 [Frame Check (F7)]
As , after load of a machine file, clicking this button will make the system move around along the

3.3. Machining Operation Area

The machining operation interface is as shown in Fig. 3-3:

Fig. 3-3 The interface to run a program
 [Start (F(9)]
As , if there is no loaded processing file, the button is disabled; if a processing file is loaded, the
button is enabled. After the button is clicked, the system will start machining automatically from the first
line of the loaded processing file.
The button has two functions:
 If a certain processing procedure has been loaded, homing has been finished, and the system is in
"Idle" state, by pressing the button, the machine tool will carry out the procedure automatically from
the first line. Once machining starts, the system enters into ―Running‖ state.
 If the system is under ―Auto|Pausing" state, by clicking the button, the system will resume
machining from the suspended position automatically and enter into ―Running" state.
 [Pause (F10)]
As , after this ―Pause‖ button is clicked, the machine tool will suspend machining and lift its gun,
and then enter into pausing state. So as to continue machining, press [Start] button or select the
relative menu item.
 [Stop (F11)]
As , this button is valid during machining. Clicking this button will make the machine tool stop
working and enter into idle state. This is the normal way to stop machining during machining process.
 [Resume]
As , after this button is clicked, the system will resume machining from the last stop position
automatically.
In case of E-stop, power failure, or clicking ―Stop‖ button during machining, the user can press this
button to make the machine tool rapidly resume machining from breakpoint if the accuracy of
workpiece coordinate is ensured. If the accuracy of workpiece coordinate can not be ensured, the user
needs to home all axes before clicking this button to resume machining.

The software saves the machining info every 5s. If power failure occurs before
the software saves the machining info, after re-powered, the software will return
to the last saved position after this function is used, i.e. the machine tool will
CAUTION retract a little distance before continuing machining.
If this function is used not after power failure in machining, machining will be
continued from the exact breakpoint.
 [Simu]
As , if a program is loaded and the system is in ―Idle‖ state, clicking this button will make the
system start rapid simulation from the first line of program automatically.
Under simulation mode, the system will not drive the machine tool to do the relative machinery and
electric actions, but only show the machining path at a rapid speed in the [Object Editor Space].
 [DryRun]
As , in dry run mode, except for not cutting the workpiece, the machine tool will start working as
in actual machining under the running of a machining program.
 [Go Forward & Backward (F4, F3)]
As , this button is used for forward motion or reverse motion during machining.
If the user wants to go back to a previous machining position, selecting ―Go Backward‖, i.e. the left
arrow, will make the system reverse along the original path.
The user can set the distance of forward motion or reverse motion according to his own needs. After
setting, clicking ―Go Forward‖ or ―Go Backward‖ will move the corresponding distance.
After the cursor is moved onto this button, a little double-arrow will appear. Clicking on this
double-arrow can change to ―Jog‖ or ―Specify Distance‖. If ―Jog‖ is switched to, clicking on ―Go
Forward‖ (―Go Backward‖) and holding down the mouse will make the plasma head keep forwarding
(reversing) till the mouse is loosed. If ―Specify Distance‖ is switched to, forward (reverse) distance can
be user-defined by clicking on the original distance and entering a new distance. After the distance is
changed, each time clicking on ―Go Forward‖ or ―Go Backward‖ will make the plasma head forward
(reverse) the set distance.
3.4. Process Control Area

The operation interface of process control is as shown in Fig. 3-4.

Fig. 3-4 Operation interface of process control
 [Plasm]
After the button is clicked, the system will send an arc striking signal which will be opened
automatically when machining starts. After striking, normal machining can be started.

Select an object, then select this menu item under Object menu or under right-click menu, and then set
the type of lead-in/out line in the following dialog.
Fig. 4-22 Set lead-in/out line

There is no obvious boundary between line-type lead in/out and arc lead in/out in
operation, so the two can be exchanged with each other. For instance, if users set
arc-type lead in/ out to a rectangle, the system still calculates its line-type lead
CAUTION in/out automatically.
The type of lead-in/out line is chosen in terms of cutting technique; besides, the
use of lead-in/out line is for precise machining, the user can decide whether to set
it or not.
 Angle: included angle of two edges of lead-in/out line.
 Length: length of cut-in edge or cut-out edge of lead-in/out line.
 Seal Len: range of seal length is from -500 to 500.
Seal length decides whether lead-in/out line is cut-out or seal lead-in/out line.
In case of a negative value, under-cut will appear, i.e. this is a cut-out lead-in/out line.
In case of a positive value, over-cut will appear, i.e. this is a seal lead-in/out line.
 Cut Mode: fill, unfill and changeless (with no change to current cut mode) are available in cut mode.
 Seg No.: there are probable N straight lines (N is a natural number) on the selected object.
‗‘Segment No.‘‘ refers to the sequence number of the segment on which the lead-in/out line is
among all the segments of the selected object (It is used to fix the location of lead-in/out line on a
certain segment).
 Pos Ratio: it refers to the ratio of the distance from the position of lead-in/out line on a segment to
the beginning of this segment to the whole length of the segment, and its range is [0, 0.999].
 Simplified: this button is to switch between simplified and advanced setting. Under simplified mode,
segment No. and position ratio are not available.
 Manual Set: after clicking this button, the position of lead-in/out line can be set manually.
In terms of position, lead-in/out line can also be divided into inner lead-in/out line and outer lead-in/out
line, which depends on which part is to be reserved after machining.
If a selected object is under [Fill] mode, the system will set it as outer lead-in/out; if a selected object is
under [Unfill] mode, the system will set it as inner lead-in/out.
 [Set Intersecting Line]
This option is to cut any shape on a circular tube. To cut a shape on a circular tube, the cylinder with
this shape as the intersecting surface and the circular tube should be intersected, so cutting trajectory
should be intersecting line of the two solids. The system gives cutting trajectory with the help of this
item, so there is no need for the user to draw the intersecting line in the tool path.
After this option is selected, a dialog will pop up, as shown in Fig. 4-23.
Fig. 4-23 Set intersecting line

Diameter of steel tube and cut precision can be set in the above dialog.
CAUTION Diameter of steel tube must be larger than maximum height of selected shape.
 [Set Kerf Compensation (Ctrl + R)]
Kerf compensation is the amount of cutting path offset required to compensate for the material
removed by the plasma cutting process. In unilateral cutting, the offset between dimensions of actually
processed workpiece and theoretically processed workpiece is half of the kerf width; in bilateral cutting,
the offset is the kerf width. With no kerf compensation, outer outline of actually processed workpiece
becomes smaller while inner outline becomes bigger. The method of kerf compensation in our system
is as follows:
1) Select an object to be compensated;
2) Select ―Set Kerf Compensation‖ under ―Object‖ menu or under right-click menu to eject a dialog as
shown in Fig. 4-24.

The user can directly use the cursor to position to an above-mentioned feature points precisely without
knowing the concrete coordinates, which is convenient for the accurate connection of objects in
drawing. This function is always used together with [Combine] function.
CAUTION To better use [Catch] function, it is recommended to uncheck “Grid” option.
 Grid precision and catch sensitivity
Sensitivity is used to specify the reflection intensity of catching when the cursor is approaching a
feature point. Precision is used for controlling the grid density and improving the accuracy in catching.
 [Set IncAngle]
Use this item to catch a certain angle after checking ―Custom Polar Axis‖ under ―Catch Options‖ or
―Open Custom PolarAxis‖ in the ―Set IncAngle‖ dialog. For instance, choose ―45‖; in drawing a
straight-line, after the first point is clicked, a red polar axis will be caught when the straight line to be
drawn moves anticlockwise near 45 degree each time with the positive X axis as the start direction.
 [Layer Parameters]
There are altogether 8 numbered colors for selection in the color window, with each color
corresponding to different values of such machining parameters as speed, power, etc.
In 2D mode, NcEditor software considers machining objects in the same color as sharing the same
values of machining parameters. Therefore, if value of a machining parameter corresponding to a color
is changed, all objects in this color will be changed their value of this machining parameter accordingly.
There are two ways to enter layer setup window:
 Method one: select [Layer Parameters] under [Object] menu;
 Method two: select the button on the drawing toolbar.
Any one of the two above-mentioned methods executed, layer setup window, as shown in Fig. 4-30,
will pop up.
Fig. 4-30 Layer setup
As shown above, each layer can be set its speed, power, action before and after arc striking, action
before and after arc closing.
For example, set action before arc striking as opening Z-axis cylinder after delay 300ms, and closing it
after delay 100ms. The concrete operations are as follows: select the layer to be modified and then
use buttons in ―Action Editing‖ under ―Before On‖:
1) Select ―Open‖ action and ―Z-Cylinder‖ port in ―Port‖ column;
2) Insert a delay and modify delay time to 300ms;
3) Select ―Close‖ action in ―Port‖ column;
4) Insert a delay and modify delay time to 100ms;
5) Move up or down the action sequence in terms of the actual situation.
In the column of ―Action Editing‖, clicking ―Insert Delay‖ will insert a delay action before current action.
The delay time can be modified with default value as 100ms. Clicking ―Insert Port‖ will insert a port
action with modifiable attribute before current action.
The material library function is added for the convenience of directly calling the set parameters of
machining materials. This function can save N groups of parameters. After saving the set parameters
of a certain material, next time machining the same material can call this group of parameters to save
time and avoid mistakes.
As shown above, when the parameters of current layer is set, clicking ―SaveLibrary‖ will eject the
―Save to Library‖ dialog, as shown in Fig. 4-31, in which enter the name of this group of parameters,
and then click ―OK‖ to save parameters.
When there is a need to call the saved group of parameters, click ―LoadLibrary‖ and then select the
desired group, and then click ―OK‖.
Fig. 4-31 Material library function
Multi-group of parameters can be saved in material library. Once they are saved,
CAUTION they cannot be deleted, but can be modified.
In addition, such functions are included on the drawing toolbar as ―Rect Array‖, ―Circle Array‖,
―Horizontal Mirror‖, ―Vertical Mirror‖ and ―Add Bridge‖.

 [Configs]
In 52C configuration, there are two configurations, including ―Auto-H‖ and ―Cylinder‖; In 63A/62A
software, there are three configurations, including ―1Y (6A+EX22A)‖, ―2Y (6A+EX22A)‖, ―Yrev
(6A+EX22A)‖. For the wiring diagram of terminal board in each configuration, refer to Chapter 7.2.
Modification to configuration becomes valid after restart.
 [Go Home (Ctrl + Home)]
Machine coordinate system is the inherent coordinate system of a machine tool. Its origin, also known
as machine origin, reference point, and home, is fixed after design, manufacture and debugging before
leaving factory. After this software is booted, generally it is necessary to home all axes manually or
automatically.
The necessity of homing:

CAUTION Only after homing can the following functions be enabled, like software limit and
set fixed point.
―Go Home‖ can be divided into ―All Go Home‖, ―X Go Home‖ and ―Y Go Home‖. After one of them is
selected, a dialog as shown in Fig. 4-37 will pop up to prompt confirmation for homing.
Fig. 4-37 Prompt box for homing
After homing is performed, the homing mark ― ‖ after ―Axes‖ indicates that homing has already been
successfully completed.
If the accuracy of current machine coordinates is ensured, and no abnormal conditions like ―E-stop‖
occur, clicking ―Set Directly‖ can set current machine coordinates as correct and accurate. When this
operation completed, the homing mark ― ‖ appears after ―Axes‖.
When ―Go Home Setting‖ is selected, a dialog as shown in Fig. 4-38 will pop up. If ―This dialog pops up
automatically when the software is started‖ is checked, this dialog will pop up automatically each time
the software is opened. Otherwise, it needs to be manually opened.
Fig. 4-38 Go home dialog
 [Back To WorkOrg (F6)]
The origin of workpiece coordinate system, namely workpiece origin, is fixed relative to a certain point
on workpiece, while floating relative to machine origin. Workpiece origin should meet demands of
simple programming, easy dimension conversion, and small caused machining error, etc.
 [Back to Fixed Point]
The user can set the coordinates of the fixed point in advance, so when plasma head is damaged or
plasma head change is necessary, after this function is executed, the system will uplift the spindle and
back to fixed point automatically. Then the user can complete other relative operations.
 [Set Directly]
When the user can ensure that current position is consistent with machine coordinates, and the
machine tool does not meet such exception as ―E-stop‖, he can click on this item to directly set current
machine coordinates as accurate machine coordinates, after which the homing mark will appear
after ―Axes‖ on the machine control bar.
 [WCS Adjust]
The software supports manual edge finding function, which is the ―WCS Adjust‖ option under ―Mach‖
menu. Clicking on this option will eject a dialog, as shown in Fig. 4-39, including two-point positioning
and three-point positioning.
Two-point positioning: set a point O‘ at the lower left of workpiece as the origin of new workpiece
coordinate system, and then a point A in the positive direction of X axis; thus, the new X axis O‘A is
confirmed, the software automatically confirming the new Y axis by constructing a line perpendicular to
line O‘A through O‘.
Three-point positioning: take the left bottom of workpiece as the temporary origin of new WCS, set a
point A and B in the positive direction of X axis to confirm the new X axis, and then set a point C in Y
axis, the software automatically confirming the new Y axis by constructing a line perpendicular to line
AB through point C. The foot of perpendicular O‘ is the origin of new workpiece coordinate system.
Open the guide control when setting points in order to lead to the positioning
position.
CAUTION Point A, B and C should all be on the positive axis.
In three-point positioning, A should be confirmed before B; otherwise, the axis
direction will be reversed.
Fig. 4-39 Work coordinate adjust dialog
Take two-point positioning as an example, after selecting ―Adjust Type‖ as ―Two points‖, manually
move X and Y axes to point O‘ at the lower left of workpiece, then click on the button ―Set O‘‖ to set O‘
as the origin of new WCS, and then move X axis towards positive direction to set point A, line O‘A the
X axis of new WCS. At this time, the software will confirm the new WCS automatically on the basis of
point O‘ and A. After the button ―Calculate=>‖ is clicked, the software will automatically calculate the
angle of rotation of current workpiece with respect to machine coordinate system, so that the software
will automatically rotate the WCS in the tool path by the corresponding angle. If the rotation angle is
larger than 15 degrees, it indicates that the workpiece is not put well, and the user needs to re-place
the workpiece before edge finding again.
If the selected coordinates of O‘ and A are not accurate or currently selected point needs to be deleted
so as to choose a new point, clicking the button ―Reset O‘A‖ will restore the coordinates of O‘ and A to
the default.
Manually move coordinates in Jog or Incremental step mode. Number keys 4, 6, 2 and 8 on the
keyboard are respectively corresponding to X-, X+, Y- and Y+. Combination key can also be used. For
instance, when 0 and 4 are pressed simultaneously, the spindle moves towards the negative direction
of X axis at rapid jogging speed. However, when 4 is pressed, the spindle moves toward the negative
direction of X axis at jogging speed.
This function will be disabled automatically after machining ends normally, but
the data of last edge finding will not be cleared in the software interface; to
continue using these data for machining, select “Use work coordinate adjust” and
CAUTION then click “OK”.
If edge finding function is not desired before machining ends normally, uncheck
the “Use work coordinate adjust” and then click “OK” to temporarily disable this
function.
 [Start, Pause, Stop]
They correspond to Start, Pause and Stop button in the middle of machine control bar separately.
For Start, its shortcut key is F9; For Pause, F10; for Stop, F11.
 [Start For Selection (Ctrl + F9)]
After this item is clicked, the system will only process currently selected objects and ignore other
objects.
 [Breakpoint Resume (Shift + F9)]
Corresponding to the Resume button on the machine control bar.
 [Start for Near Point]
If the job is not cut thoroughly in the process of cutting, manually move the cut head to the to-be-cut
point, and then click this item to make the system resume machining from the point on the tool path
nearest to the current point.
The default radius centered around the current point is 100mm, which cannot be modified by the user.
 [Simulation (F8)]
It corresponds to the Simu button on the machine control bar.
 [Dry Run]
It corresponds to the DryRun button on the machine control bar.
 [Frame Check (F7)]
After load of a machining file, clicking on this menu item will make the system move around along the
circumscribed rectangle of the machining file to decide the machining range. Frame check is optional.
 [Teaching]
For the convenience of editing special-shaped tool path, the software is equipped with teaching
function so as to help the user draw a machining path manually according to the shape and contour of
workpiece.
Clicking ―Teaching‖ will eject the following dialog, as shown in Fig. 4-40.
Fig. 4-40 Teaching dialog

The software automatically calculates ―Path No.‖ and ―Node No.‖, which cannot be modified manually.
 Path No.: a path is confirmed after started and ended.
 A node is a control point of a curve to control the shape of the curve, including linear node and
circular node.
When drawing a line (i.e. a segment), each time clicking on ―End Point‖ will confirm a linear node,
while when drawing a tangent arc or a three-point arc, each time clicking on ―End Point‖ or ―Point 3‖
will confirm a circular node.
 Tangent arc: two arcs tangent to each other with only one point of intersection.
 Three-point arc: confirming an arc through three points.
Take ―3 Points Arc‖ as an example to illustrate the concrete operation and usage:
1) Select ―3 Points Arc‖, and then click ―Start Path‖ to set current XY coordinates as the first point. If
the current point is not the desired one, move XY axes to the desired position before clicking ―Start
Path‖ in order to set the desired position as the first point.
2) After the first point is set, move XY axes to the next target position, then click ―Point 2‖ to confirm
the second point, then move XY axes to the third target position, and then click ―Point 3‖ to confirm
a three-point arc, meanwhile, point 3 is also the first point of the next arc. Then operate the same
to confirm the second and third point of second, third…nth arc as confirming the second and third
point of the first arc until clicking ―End Path‖ to complete this path.
3) During drawing, if the user needs to delete the selected point 2, he can click ―Back 1 Point‖. But
when an arc is confirmed after clicking ―Point 3‖, the user has to click ―Back 1 Node‖ to delete the
current third point because now the third point is a node and ―Back 1 Point‖ is invalid. ―Back 1
Node‖ cancels the third and second drawn point, with the first point remained. To cancel the first
point, the user has to click ―Abandon Path‖.
After “End Path” is clicked, “Abandon Path” becomes ineffective.

CAUTION After drawing, the user has to click “End Path”, or the drawn path will not be
saved.
Move axes in Jog and Incremental step mode. In Jog mode, jogging speed and rapid jogging speed
can be switched by pressing a number key or combination key (a number key and acceleration key). In
Incremental step mode, ―Stop‖ button is used to stop the currently moving axis.
―Clear Track‖ is used to clean the redundant red trajectory during drawing and keep the useful blue
path trajectory.
 [Adjust Light]
This function is used to adjust the laser power in jog and incremental mode to ensure an appropriate
power in cutting.
After the ―Jog‖ is checked and ―Laser‖ is clicked, the plasma port in the machine control bar will open
for a while and then close. But if the ―Jog‘ is not checked, clicking ―Laser‖ leads to continuous laser
output from the plasma port on the right side and clicking it again will stop the output.

5.1. Control System Installation
5.1.1. Control System Configuration

Independently developed by Weihong Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., PM63A/62A motion control
cards, mating with NcEditor motion control software, are applied to the motion control of plasma
cutting.
The standard configuration of a PM63A/62A control system is as follows:
 One PM63A/62A servo control card
 A CD of NcEditor motion control software (unnecessary if the manufacturer has already customized
one.)
 One terminal board of EX22A3 or of other type
 One DB37M/F cable (1.5m)
 One DB50-CONNECT card
 One FC50-FC50 cable (25cm)
 One HD50F-CN50 Cable (1.5m)
 One MPG flat cable FC16-DB15F (35cm, with rail block), for connecting MPG (optional)
 A handwheel of NK-MPG-05 or NK-MPG-06 (optional)
5.1.2. Installation of Control Card

1) Insert the software CD into the CD driver of computer, and then double click ―setup. exe‖ for
installation of the software until finished;
2) Power off the computer, then open the computer chassis, and then insert the control card into a
PCI slot (white) and fasten the screw of rail block (if there is an extended flat cable, its rail block
screw should also be fastened), and then lid the computer case;
3) Power on the computer. The computer will find the new hardware-device and install its driver
automatically;
4) Double click the shortcut icon of NcEditor on the desktop; if it runs normally, installation is over (if
not, please check whether the control card is well inserted and whether the gold finger is clean).
Machine Tool Debugging「55」

5.1.3. Installation Detection of Control Card

1) Join the terminal board to port JP1 on the control card with a DB37M/F cable, to DB50 interface on
the control card with a HD50F-CN50 cable, provide 24V power supply for the terminal board, and
power on the machine signal system (proximity switch, etc).
2) Examine the input signal LEDs of the terminal board: for example, if the origin switch connected is
normally closed, at this time, two LEDs of X0 and Y0 are on; trigger the origin switch through
artificial imitation. (For a travel switch, artificial press can be used to observe whether the signals
can be received. For a photoelectrical switch, artificially obstruct the light to see if the signals can
be gotten. For a metal proximity switch, artificially approach it with a metal block to see if the
signals can be gotten.) If the corresponding LED is out, it indicates the origin signals have been
sent to the terminal board. If the origin switch connected is normally open, LEDs should be usually
out, and by artificially touching the switch, LEDs should become light, which shows the origin
signals have been sent to the terminal board. The same method can be taken to test other input
ports to ensure the correctness of the wiring between the terminal board and the machine tool,
greatly shortening the debugging time.
5.2. Description of Ports Wiring
5.2.1. Ports Diagnosis of Software

1) Power on the computer, run NcEditor software, and then open ―IOPorts‖ window displaying many
input and output signals by [Ports Setting] under [Mach] menu. Solid dots represent input signals,
while hollow dots represent output signals.
2) Dots in red indicate the signals are invalid at the time (with no input or output), while dots in green
indicate the signals are valid at the time. The ―IOPorts‖ window is as shown in Fig. 5-1. (It is for
reference only. Ports displayed in ―IOPorts‖ window will vary with different software versions and
hardware board card types. The actual situation is in line with shipment).

Fig. 5-1 IO ports window
3) Alter the input port polarity in the software in terms of such buttons selected as origin switch and
E-STOP button: the polarity of NO input ports is N; the polarity of NC input ports is P. The way to
alter polarity in the plasma cutting software NcEditor is as follows: select the port to be modified its
polarity, and then click the manipulation button [ConvertPol]. The password to modify polarity is
ncstudio. After all the polarity modification has been finished, shut down and restart NcEditor to
validate polarity modification.
5.2.2. Ports Diagnosis of Terminal Board

1) Electrify the electrical box. At this time, the dots in front of such input signals as zero signals of the
two axes, E-STOP signal and program start/stop signals should be in red, indicating all these
signals are invalid. Otherwise, it is necessary to check the correctness of electrical circuitry and
signals polarity. If electrical circuitry is correct, alter the corresponding signal polarity to ensure the
dots in front of the above-mentioned signals show in red.
2) Press the button [Start], and observe whether the dot color of ―program start‖ signal changes.
When the button is being pressed, the dot color should show in green, and in red after released. If
there is no change to the dot color, please turn to 5.1.3 above to check whether the LED on the
terminal board works normally when the button is being pressed. If the terminal board works
normally, it indicates that the software has not collected the signals from the terminal board.
Examine the connection of cable DB37M/F and DB50M/F with the control card and the terminal
board. Similar method can be taken to examine program stop signal and emergency stop signal.
3) In accordance with the above method, open IOPorts window and simulate to trigger the zero
signals, observing whether the dot in front of the zero signal turns into green when an origin button
is being triggered. Be sure that both the origin signals of X and Y axes can be gotten.

For detailed wiring diagram of terminal board, see Chapter 7.2.

5.3.2. Common Driver Parameter Settings

Regarding parameter setting of such servo drivers as YASKAWA, PANASONIC, MITSUBISHI, DELTA,
FUJI, HITACHI, SANYO and KT, please refer to Chapter 7.4.
5.3.3. Driver Parameter Settings of Other Brands

Pay attention to the following matters:
1) Firstly confirm the SON signal type of servo driver selected to see whether it is active low (i.e.
servo is ON when SON and GND of 24V power is conducted);

2) Then make clear the level of servo driver alarm output port when there is no alarm. If it is normally
low-level, the input port polarity of servo alarm should be ―P‖ in ―IOPorts‖ window of software; if it is
low-level when alarm occurs, the port polarity should be ―N‖; for polarity setting, refer to Ports
Detection part;
3) Make sure the type of pulse signal received in parameters setting of servo driver is ―pulse +
direction‖; make clear whether there is external emergency stop signal input in the input terminal
of servo driver, and the logic of this signal;
4) Before the trial run of the driver, 24V power supply must be provided for the terminal board,
because the 24V power for the driver is indirectly provided through the terminal board; if the driver
can‘t rotate, make sure the driver parameter ―forward and reverse rotation input prohibited‖ is set
invalid.

5.4.1. Pulse Equivalent Setting

Select [System Parameters] under [Mach] menu to eject ―System Parameter‖ window, then click
[Manufacturer] button and find the parameter [Pulse equivalent] of the two axes. The password of
manufacturer parameters is ―ncstudio‖. The smaller the pulse equivalent is, the higher the resolution
will be. The value of pulse equivalent will affect the maximum feed speed. Generally speaking,
regarding the pulse equivalent of mold machines, 0.001mm/p (the corresponding maximum feed rate
is 9600mm/min) or 0.0005mm/p (the corresponding maximum feed rate is 4800mm/min) can be taken
into consideration; for users who are not very critical of the accuracy, the pulse equivalent can be set a
litter larger, such as 0.002mm/p (the corresponding maximum feed rate is 19200mm/min) or
0.005mm/p (the corresponding max. feed rate is 48000mm/min). When pulse equivalent is confirmed,
calculate the electronic gear ratio of servo driver in terms of value of pulse equivalent. Please refer to
Chapter 5.7 for the calculation of electronic gear ratio.
5.4.2. Axis Direction Setting

Move the machine tool manually to make sure the correctness of moving direction of each axis. Note
that NcEditor adopts ―right hand‖ coordinates system. For X-axis, right movement is the positive
direction; while the positive direction of Y-axis is to move away from the operator (if the movement of
Y-axis is the movement of worktable, the positive direction is the worktable moving towards the
operator). If the direction is not correct, alter the manufacturer parameter ―Axis direction‖ from 1 to -1
(or -1 to 1) or the relative parameters of servo driver.

5.4.3. Machine Origin Setting

1) Homing is a procedure to synchronize local coordinate system with actual external coordinate
system via control system. In other words, since the concrete position of each axis is not detected
in the system, after system start-up, it will control the motion of each axis and detect the switch
signal pre-installed on each axis during the motion (the control system has already known the
installation position of these switches). Thus, once these switch signals are found, the system will
acquire the machine tool has reached the pre-specified position and then set the coordinate of this
position as current coordinates, namely, the local coordinate system is synchronous with the
actual one.
2) Coarse positioning is used to drive X/Y axis around the machine origin. And the following switches
can be adopted in coarse positioning, involving proximity switch, mechanical switch, photoelectric
switch, etc. Due to the limit of these switches on precision and repetition in positioning, the X/Y
axis is unable to return to machine origin exactly in coarse positioning, thus, fine positioning is
compulsory.
3) Fine positioning, with various methods, is used to make each axis return to machine origin exactly
by regarding encoder origin as fine positioning switch, i.e. the axis is searching for machine origin
in the motion via detecting encoder origin. Due to one origin signal sent per revolution of encoder,
fine positioning signal is periodic.
4) Set manufacturer parameters ―1.2 Bkref‖ in the software according to the installation positions of
zero sensors of the two axes. When the setting is correct, run ―Go Home‖ under [Mach] menu.
5.4.4. Worktable Stroke Range

After confirming machine origin and moving direction of each axis, set the developer parameters
―Lower & Upper limit of worktable stroke‖ and ―Check worktable stroke‖ according to the actual size of
a machine tool, so as to enable software limit function.
5.5. Speed Setting

Open NcEditor, then select [Mach], [System Parameters] and [Developer] sequentially to eject the
interface as shown in Fig. 5-3, in which [3.1 Speed/Acc] can be set.

Fig. 5-3 System parameter list
5.5.1. Single Axis Acceleration

It is used to describe the acceleration / deceleration ability of a single axis, with unit mm/s2. The value
is determined by the physical characteristic of a machine tool, such as quality of movement part,
torque, resistance, cutting load of feed-motor, and so on. The larger the value is, the less time spent in
the process of acceleration / deceleration will be, and the higher the efficiency will be. Generally, for
servo motor systems, the value is between 400 and 1200. Set the value smaller at the beginning;
make the machine tool perform various typical movements for a period of time, and carefully observe it;
if there is no abnormal situation, increase the value gradually; otherwise, decrease the value and
reserve 50% ~ 100% insurance allowance.
5.5.2. Cornering Acceleration

It is used to describe the acceleration/deceleration ability in synchronized motion of multi-feed-axis,
with unit mm/s2. The value limits the maximum speed of a machine tool in circular movement. The
larger this value is, the higher the maximum allowable speed on circular movement of the machine tool

will be. Generally, for servo motor systems, the value is between 1000 and 5000; for heavy machine
tools, the value should be smaller. Set the value smaller at the beginning; make the machine tool
perform various typical movements for a period of time, and carefully observe it; if there is no abnormal
situation, increase the value gradually; otherwise, decrease the value and reserve 50% ~ 100%
insurance allowance.
5.5.3. Maximum Speed of Reference Circle

Maximum speed of reference circle corresponds to arc speed limit function. When a machine tool
processes an arc, it will vibrate due to centripetal force. To reduce this kind of vibration, the software
limits machining speed during machining an arc in terms of centripetal acceleration. Take default
setting as an example, the maximum line velocity of the reference circle (Diameter:10mm) is
1800mm/min.
The formula to calculate centripetal acceleration is as following:
v2
a
r
Among the formula, r  (10 / 2)mm ; v  1800mm / min ;
Thus centripetal acceleration a can be calculated; when other arcs are processed, this centripetal
acceleration is the maximum allowable centripetal acceleration. Arc speed will be limited, if it is too
large causing centripetal acceleration larger than a calculated in this formula.
5.5.4. Minimum Speed of Reference Circle

Minimum speed of reference circle also corresponds to arc speed limit function. a calculated in the
above formula is not the only criterion for arc speed limit function.
v2
a
r
According to the above formula, in processing an arc with small radius, the line speed will be limited
quite low caused by arc speed limit, which will be a waste of time. Therefore, the software provides the
parameter ―Min. speed of reference circle‖, which is the minimum speed for circular motion. However
small the arc radius is, the machining speed will not be smaller than the value of this parameter.
Usually, given the drive ability of servo motor, frication of machine assembly, and endurance capacity
of mechanical components, the maximum speed of the two axes in actual using can be limited by
modifying the manufacturer parameters ―Max. speed‖ of each axis.

5.6. Machine Setup Detection
5.6.1. Check Electronic Gear Ratio and Pulse Equivalent

To examine whether the value of electronic gear ratio matches with that of pulse equivalent, make a
mark on any axis of the machine tool and set this marked point as the workpiece origin in the software.
Drive this marked axis to move a fixed distance by direct command input, jog or handwheel, and so on.
Measure the actual moving distance with a vernier caliper and compare whether the measured result
is equal to the distance shown in the software.
5.6.2. Examine If Any Pulse Is Lost

Direct method: mark a little dot on the surface of a workpiece blank; set this point as the workpiece
origin; repeatedly move the two axes; and then back to the workpiece origin; mark a little dot again to
observe whether this dot completely coincides with the marked dot. For servo systems, there is a more
precise method: set servo driver mode as ―input pulse count mode― of the ―surveillance mode― (for
example, the parameter of YASKAWA servo is UN00C ); regulate the servo driver to display the lower
4 bits (with ―L ‖ before the count value ) in count value (hexadecimal system); set workpiece origin and
then write down the pulse count value at this time, then repeatedly dry run a procedure, then back to
workpiece origin and see whether the pulse count value at this time is the same with the original value.
For YASKAWA servo, as long as the value difference of pulse count value is no more than 4 (the
frequency of host controller is 1/4 times the frequency of pulse sent by servo drive), indicating that the
main controller sends pulses within the tolerance of 1 pulse, the control system runs normally;
otherwise, please check the pulse signal type of servo driver, and make the pulse type received by
servo in accord with the pulse type sent by the card.
5.6.3. Plasma Technology Detection

Plasma technology detection is mainly to examine whether the state of such ports as plasma, rise, fall
and cylinder changes with the actual situations, and whether parameters of plasma technology in
[Layer Parameters] window are appropriate, like time sequence and delay of plasma (arc striking), rise,
fall and cylinder and whether voltage change of the plasma power control port SVC correlates with
plasma generator power change.

5.7. Electronic Gear Ratio
5.7.1. Electronic Gear

Electronic Gear: assume that the host controller sends 5000 pulses per revolution of servo motor.
When doubling revolutions of servo motor driven by the same amount of pulses is needed, there are
two methods available, ―set servo parameters‖ and ―addition of mechanical gear between motor
spindle and load-spindle‖. Using circuit to realize the functions of mechanical gear is called electronic
gear, viz. pulse frequency multiplication function.
5.7.2. Electronic Gear Functions

Regarding ―Electronic Gear‖, it refers to a proportional control factor of output displacement to motor
when a certain amount of pulses is input. For the ―senior device‖ issuing pulses, it can be regardless of
encoder pulse No. and mechanical deceleration ratio in controlling.
Functions of electronic gear: it can set the command unit freely (the displacement of lead screw
corresponding to one pulse sent by host controller). Frequency reduplication can be used to amplify
the frequency of pulse issued by mater controller.
Electronic gear ratio= encoder resolution × command unit × mechanical deceleration ratio / pitch
Please see the servo motor label plate and then refer to the corresponding driver manual to confirm its
encoder resolution. Fig. 5-4 is a label plate of YASKAWA SGMSH motor, and the 4th character in
motor type is the serial encoder specification, so the resolution of this motor is 217, i.e. 131072.

5.8. Settings of Round Tube Cutting

Currently, existing intersectional cutting equipment, with simple functions, is complex to operate and
cannot meet the demands of actual processing technology and industrial production. Therefore, our
system provides round tube cutting to meet high-precision demand of intersection of pipe and pipe.
Round tube cutting includes circle and rectangle cutting.

5.8.1. Circle Cutting

The dialog of circle cutting is as shown in Fig. 5-10.
Fig. 5-10 Intersectional cutting of primary pipe-circle cutting

Rev Axis: under rotary table configuration, rotary axis is fixed.
Circle cutting parameters are as follows:
 Primary Dia.: the diameter of primary pipe, like ―D‖ in the above picture. Under rotary table
configuration, its value can be changed by clicking behind, synchronizing with the system
parameter ―Rotation Diameter‖.
 Auxiliary Dia.: the diameter of auxiliary pipe, like ―d‖ in the above picture. Manually enter the
auxiliary diameter which must be less than or equal to primary diameter, when cutting the primary
pipe.
 Distance: the offset between central line of primary pipe and central line of auxiliary pipe, like ―e‖
in the above picture.
Primary Dia.  Auxiliary Dia.

Distance  
2
 Angle: the tilt angle ([5, 175]) between intersected primary pipe and auxiliary pipe, like ―A‖ in the
above picture.
After entering the above parameters and clicking ―Create Curve‖, the motion trajectory of cutting
primary pipe will be generated automatically according to the data, as shown in Fig. 5-11.

Fig. 5-11 Trajectory of cutting primary pipe

―Cutting Pos‖ can be used to cut multiple circular holes or rectangular holes on a round tube by
clicking ―Create Curve‖. Under ―YRevB‖ configuration, value of Y refers to the angle Y axis rotates in
rapid traverse with respect to the first cut hole, while value of X means the length X axis moves (i.e. to
the next cut position) in rapid traverse with respect to the first cut hole. The trajectory of cutting several
circular holes is as shown below.
Fig. 5-12 The trajectory to cut several circular holes on a primary tube
5.8.2. Rect Cutting

Rect (rectangle) cutting is similar to circle cutting, except for some different parameters, as shown in
Fig. 5-13.

Fig. 5-13 Intersectional cutting-rectangle cutting
 Length: the size of rectangle edge parallel to the edge of round tube.
 Width: the size of rectangle edge perpendicular to the edge of round tube.
 Titled Angle: tilt angle of ―Length‖ edge with respect to the central line of round tube, which can be
used to cut multiple rectangle holes on different parts of round tube at different angles. If ―Tilted
Angle‖ is positive value, tilt goes CCW; if negative, title goes CW.
Other parameters are the same as those of circle cutting. The trajectory to cut several rectangle holes
on a primary tube is as shown below.
Fig. 5-14 The trajectory to cut several rectangle holes on a primary tube
5.8.3. Tilted Cutting

The operation interface for pipe tilted cutting is as shown in Fig. 5-15.

 Rev Axis: the rotary axis under current rotary table configuration.
 Tube Dia: the value set in the system parameter ―Rotation Diameter‖.
 Angle: the angle ([5, 175]) included by cutting face and pipe central line, like ―A‖ in the below
picture.
Fig. 5-15 Truncated cutting of round tube

After all the above parameters are set, the system will generate a motion trajectory automatically, as
shown in Fig. 5-16.
Fig. 5-16 Motion trajectory of pipe tilted cutting

5.8.4. Multi-cutting of Round Tube

Our software supports cutting multiple objects on a round tube, with the concrete methods as
following:
1) Draw or import the objects to be cut, as shown in Fig. 5-17.
Fig. 5-17 Draw objects of pipe multi-cutting
2) Select all the objects and then select ―Set Intersecting Line‖ under ―Object‖ menu or under
right-click menu. (Setting ―Intersecting Line‖ for each object is also ok, but too tedious.) A dialog as
following pops up.
Fig. 5-18 Setting intersecting line

In the above picture:
 Rev Axis: consistent with current rotary table configuration.
 Pipe Dia.: the diameter of current pipe, which must be larger than the max. height of all objects, or
an error prompt will pop up.
 Precision: the contact ratio of actual cutting path and pre-estimated path; the smaller the Precision
is, the smaller the error will be.

3) After setting the above parameters, click OK to automatically generate the motion trajectory, as
following.
Fig. 5-19 Path of pipe multi-cutting

After all above operations finished, the system will cut the required object holes on the round tube
according to the motion trajectory.

6. Advantageous Functions
6.1. Lead Screw Error Compensation
6.1.1. Causes of Lead Screw Error

Lead screw error consists of screw pitch error and errors caused by backlash.
 Screw Pitch Error
Pitch error is caused by defect in manufacturing of lead screw and long-term wear, etc. In order to
improve precision, pitch compensation is needed to meet the requirement. The sketch of lead screw is
shown in Fig. 6-1. A coordinate system is established, based on point ―O‖ on the lead screw as the
reference point, nominal value as X-coordinate, and actual value as Y-coordinate. Then ideal moving
curve is as curve ―1‖ in Fig. 6-2 however, actual curve will be curve ―2‖ due to pitch error. That is to say,
the Actual value is not the same as its corresponding Nominal value, actual moving curve deviating
from the ideal one, and their difference is called error, i.e.:
Error = nominal mechanical coordinate – actual mechanical coordinate
L(actual value)
2
Actual move(with screw error)
Reference point
Ideal move(without screw error)

1
5 S(nominal value)
0
A Sketch of lead screw B Moving curve
Fig. 6-1 Screw error principle illustration
 Backlash Error
Hysteresis feature is caused by forward and reverse clearance. Assume that the driving shaft drives
the driven shaft in negative (CW) rotation, the servo motor will be idling without moving worktable
because of mechanical driving chain backlash when the driving shaft suddenly begins CCW rotation
(positive motion). After staying at a certain position for some time, the worktable will move backward
with the driving shaft. When the direction of driving shaft changes again, the situation is the same,
which is called Hysteresis. If pitch error doesn‘t exist, under ideal condition, the moving curve of
「74」Advantageous Functions
worktable is shown in Fig. 6-2, and the curve of horizontal section is during the idling of servo motor,
while worktable has no movement. The actual moving curve of worktable is shown in Fig. 6-4.
L(actual value) L(actual value)
S(nominal value) S(nominal value)
A Hysteresis feature B Actual moving curve
Fig. 6-2 Backlash error principle illustration

The popular explanation is: because the slider is generally fixed on a lead screw whose outer wire and
inner wire can not be completely matched, backlash compensation compensates the clearance
between the lead screw of last direction that the slider needs to finish after reversing its moving
direction.
6.1.2. Method for Lead Screw Error Compensation

Actually the system has already combined the above two errors to deal with and will execute error
compensation automatically based on the error data in the file after the backward error and forward
error of the corresponding nominal coordinates of each coordinate axis are listed into the lead screw
error compensation file.
 Lead Screw Error Compensation File
The name of lead screw error compensation file is axeserr.dat, found under Tools folder of the
installation directory (like C:\Program Files\Weihong). Modification to the data in the lead screw error
compensation file will become valid after the software is restarted.
The file format is:
1) Firstly specify length unit, currently the supported length unit is mm and the style of writing is:
unit=mm
2) Then specify error sequence of each axis. To work properly, the contents in this sequence must be
arranged in the ascending order of position value from small to large, as follows:
[Axis.<Axis Name>]
<Position>, <Forward Error>, <Backward Error>
Among them, <Axis Name> is X, Y, Z… (Case-insensitive)
Advantageous Functions「75」
Position: nominal value, i.e. the theoretically arrived position driven by the pulses sent by the system
when there is no compensation;
Measured Value (P): the actually arrived position driven by the pluses sent by the system to move
forward when there is no compensation.
Measured Value (N): the actually arrived position driven by the pulses sent by the system to move
reversely when there is no compensation.
 Lead Screw Error Compensation Tool
AxesErrEditor.exe is in Tools folder under installation directory (for example C:\Program Files\Weihong)
after software installation.
The main interface of AxesErrEditor.exe is as shown in Fig. 6-3:
Fig. 6-3 Main interface of AxesErrEditor.exe

Generally the value of lead screw error compensation can be measured by a laser interferometer, with
two ways for compensation.
1) File compensation. Select [Import File] under [File] menu, choose the compensation data
recorded by a laser interferometer to be imported in the pop-up dialog, and then save the data file
to corresponding configuration folder (for standard configuration, save the file to ―6B_std‖ under
―config‖ folder, for double-Y configuration, save it to ―6A_2Y"). In this way, automatic
compensation will be performed during machining in terms of the data in the file. Currently,
only .lin files are supported.
2) Directly setting compensation on the interface. Enter position, positive measured value and
negative measured value in the interface as shown in Fig. 6-3, positive error, reverse error and
reverse clearance calculated automatically. Then save the data file under the corresponding
configuration folder. In this way, automatic compensation will be performed during machining
according to the value in the file.
A visualized path graph, as shown in Fig. 6-4, will be generated according to the input data.
Fig. 6-4 Lead screw error compensation generation interface

In the above picture, the red line indicates the path of positive motion; the blue line the path of reverse
motion; the middle gray line the ideal path.
Currently, this tool can save the lead screw error compensation file as two versions: V9 and V12,
which can be switched under [Settings] menu.
V9 version supports X, Y and Z axes while V12 version, its interface as shown in Fig. 6-3, supports X
and Y axes.
6.1.3. Effect of Lead Screw Error Compensation

Composed of unidirectional error correction, traditional compensation adds backlash compensation
simultaneously in reverse motion to improve moving precision. Although this kind of compensation can
improve the control precision of a semi-closed machine tool to some extent, the precision after
compensation of a point which is located precisely before compensation can not be ensured according
to experiments.
Weihong control system realizes bidirectional screw pitch error compensation and can confirm the
correction of forward and backward direction by one measure of machine tool precision, which greatly
reduce work load of machine tool measurement and improve positioning accuracy, while for traditional
compensation, backlash value and screw pitch error value are measured separately with
compensation table made afterwards.
It has been found that lead screw error compensation greatly improves positioning accuracy and
repeated positioning accuracy of CNC machine tools.
6.2. Power Failure Resume

Apart from breakpoint resume function, the software is also in possession of power failure resume
function.
6.2.1. Function of Power Failure Resume

Given the problem of sudden power failure, our system holds power failure resume which can avoid
damaging system files due to sudden power failure. Owing to breakpoint resume and accurately
returning to machine origin, etc, it is reliable to recover machining site to improve machining efficiency
and reduce losses.
6.2.2. Usage of Power Failure Resume

1) Home all axes before machining.
2) Home all axes again after restarting the system in case of sudden power failure during machining.
3) Use ―Breakpoint Resume‖ function on the software to continue machining from the position where
power failure happens.
To achieve accurate power failure resume, it is essential to back to machine origin

CAUTION first.
6.3. Frog Leaping Function
6.3.1. Function of Frog Leaping

When there is no frog leaping function, the cutting process of a cutter is divided into three parts: after
finishing cutting a curve, the machine moves up perpendicularly in the Z axis, then moves the cutting
head to the next cut point horizontally, and then lowers the cutting head for the next cutting. However,
with the help of frog leaping, the cutting head will move up while moving horizontally until reaching the
height set by Z-up delay time, and then move down to the cut point in a curve set by the follow-up
delay, so the whole process is completed in a curve, which saves G00 time and improves cutting
efficiency.
6.3.2. Usage of Frog Leaping

At the moment, frog leaping function only exists in Double Y configuration.
Check ―FrogLeaping‖ in the ―Layer Parameters‖ dialog, indicating enabling frog leaping function in the
cutting process. If not checked, the cutting head moves up following the parameters set in the current
layer.
6.4. Instant Setting Function

Instant setting function (under ―Object‖ menu) is added to reduce operation steps.
In the ―Instant Setting‖ dialog, as shown in Fig. 6-5, included settings are fill or unfill, machining
direction, lead-in/out line, machining order, and kerf compensation, which are above-mentioned. Set
theses parameters according to actual needs and then click OK to finish the setting of these functions
in only one step.
Fig. 6-5 Instant setting dialog
6.5. Shortcut Keys
6.5.1. Function of Shortcut Keys

The software offers easy-to-remember shortcut keys for some functions to help the user get away from
mouse operations and fulfill machining actions accurately in the shortest time, which gives the user a
feel of freely mastering the software.
6.5.2. Usage of Shortcut Keys

The operation method of shortcut keys: for example, after the software opened, pressing Ctrl + I will
eject ―Open‖ dialog to import a file. And then select a machining file. Another example is to manually
draw a circle, press Alt + D to choose [Draw] menu, then press the shortcut key C, and then draw a
circle on [Object Editor Space].

The software is available of remote control of wireless handwheel to help the user walk around freely
within the range of 10m instead of confined to the front of a computer. It reduces labor cost, improves
work efficiency and adds workpiece positioning precision to increase the utilization rate of machining
materials to a large extent.
7.1.2. Installation of Wireless Handwheel

The installation of wireless handwheel:
1) If it is an upgrade, exit from wireless handle drive first, then click XHC-HB05-X.exe for installation,
and then operate as per the prompts. (Install according to the default prompts, and it‘s better not to
install it to Program Files directory.)
2) After installation, open XHCV9.exe under its installation folder.
3) After run, this program will be registered into registry as a startup autorun object. If there is firewall,
allow the register.

7.1.3. Introduction to Wireless Handwheel

With a concise and portable operation panel, this wireless handwheel is compatible with our software
to control a machine tool. Through this handwheel, a lot of operations can be performed, like backing
to workpiece origin, breakpoint resume, one-key open or close of such ports as plasma and rise. In
addition, its band switch can be used to adjust cutting override and manually control X/Y axis
movement, and its LCD displays current machine coordinate, workpiece coordinate, feedrate override,
retracts, etc.

During machining, if the angle of two adjacent segments are larger than ―Max. angle of high-speed

For trapezoid algorithm, its acceleration is a straight line and speed a trapezoid.
For S-type algorithm, its acceleration is a triangle and speed an S-type.
For acceleration trapezoid algorithm, its jerk is a straight line and acceleration a trapezoid.
The machining efficiency of trapezoid algorithm and S-type algorithm is high. When S-type
algorithm is adopted, the max. acceleration of the system can reach 2 times of single axis
acceleration set in the system. Thus, it is recommended to make down the value of parameter
―Single axis acceleration in machining‖ when S-type algorithm is selected.
Acceleration trapezoid algorithm means the curve of acceleration is a trapezoid. The relation
between acceleration and time is acceleration will increase to its max. value at jerk and then keep
constant and then decrease to ―0‖ at jerk.
