PROGRAMMING STEPS

1. KNOW YOUR WORKING SPACE AREAS

GPuncher has three working areas
 The part designing, here you draw your part and is the default software entrance.
 The sheet layout, here you grid your part, you can switch back and fourth between part designing and
sheet layout by pressing the tab key in your keyboard or by the pull down menu View-Work Space
 The tool designing, here you design all of your special tools, go to it by pull down menu View-Work
Space-Tooling design
2. DRAW YOUR PART
Use the Construct menu to add lines, circles, obrounds, rectangles, special tool hits and other any entities that your
part requires.
Use the Edit menu to edit your added features. Also you can take advantage of the Grouping menu to move, rotate,
copy a group of patterns all at once.
3. SET YOUR SHEET SIZE AND MAKE A GRID
From the part design module switch to sheet layout module by pressing the tab key or by pull down menu View-
Work Space-Sheet Layout. Activate the part by pull down menu
Blank-Part Grid / Activate, right click on any of your part to switch the activation state. Once you activate a part
that’s the one you can work on.
4. TOOL UP THE PART
You can tool up in Sheet Layout or switch back to part designing to tool up your parts,
doesn’t matter. Use the command located in the pull down menu Tooling Up.
5. ADD THE PUNCHING SEQUENCE ORDER
Before you are able to generate g-code you have to add every part pattern to an order sequence and do so by
using the command in pull down menu Sequence.
6. GENERATE G-CODE
After following the steps in this tutorial you are ready to generate g-code, do so by going to pull down menu File-
Make Nc Code.
7. SEND THE G-GCODE TO YOUR NC CONTROL PANEL
Now you got the g-code file ready to send to the nc control panel, do so by using the pull down menu File-Send
Module. If you bought the GSender utility software you will be able to send it or you would just get a warning about
it. You need this utility to enable this function.

GPUNCHER WORK SPACE AREAS

1. Part Designing Area

This is the default entrance of the GPuncher. The initial dialog box is to start with your part base size, enter
the type of units either inch or metric as shown below.

The part designing area has all the tools to develop the most demanding sheet metal flat pattern, some shown
below.

Use the Construct menu to develop your flat pattern and add lines, circles, rectangles and sheet metal shapes
as Obrounds, D-holes, DD-holes plus special tools hits when Full Hits command is selected, develop your lay
out adding flange by flange when the Side Flange is active.
If you need to change the properties, position or shape of an entity use the Edit pull down menu to move copy,
rotate, scale any object in your part.
For group of entities use the Grouping pull down menu to change properties or move, rotate, flip all in one
move.
If your part need dimensions for better understanding and description add dimension to it with the pull down
menu Dimensioning.

2. The Sheet Layout Area

Tip: to switch between work spaces press the tab key in your keyboard or pull down menu View-WorkSpace.

The Sheet Layout Area is where you going to grid your part in a sheet a metal and you do so by activating that
part thru pull down menu Blank-Part grid/Activate to show the grid box as shown below.
Change the grid box values to get as many part as you need.

3. The Tool designing Area

Here you draw all of your special tools. Add objects from the Construct menu just as you would when
drawing a part and add your tool information in the properties box as shown below.

Other modules are:

 The Tool Inventory click pull down menu Tooling Up-Tool Room-Inventory, here you add, edit
or remove tools from your shop tool inventory, as shown below.
  The Turret click pull down menu Tooling Up-Tool Room-Nc Turret, here you will add tools to
your turret just as the machine operator does it in the shop. To add tools to the turret the tool has to be
in your tool inventory as well, you have to do this before you can assign tools to your part pattern. The
tool has to be in the turret as shown below.

Other useful commands in the Tooling Up menu are:

View-Hits redraws the screen and displays the tools in your sheet

Tool Room lets you open the turret or tool inventory dialog box to add, edit or remove tools.

Tools From when assigning tool to your pattern you can either do it straight from the tool inventory or from
the tools in your turret. This option lets you choose and switch.

Attach Tool use this command to start adding tools to your part patterns

Detach Tool use this command to remove a tool from a part pattern

Attach Side lets you switch the pattern side in which the punch will be done. Has three states; Right side,
middle side and left side.

Attach Tabs when punching your part you want to add tabs to the corners so the part don’t fall of you blank.
Use this command to add holding tabs to your parts, The cursor will jump to centers and ends of geometry, if
clicked the center a tab will be added to both ends in the amount entered in the tabs dialog box, if you move
the cursor to either side then the tab will be just added to that end as shown below.
Attach Direction let you switch the punching direction, left to right or right to left

Inquire Tool use this command to inquire what tool is punching the entity

Microjoints use this command to add, edit or remove holding micro joints of any size to your parts.

Line Split does the same job as the micro joint but it also splits your line in two.

Nibbling turns the nibbling process on or off. Here you can switch its state as well.

Nibbling options opens up a dialog box to set the nibbling parameters. Read your machine manual to make
the proper changes or simple use the defaults.

THE PUNCHING SEQUENCE ORDER

There are two ways of adding the sequence, you can either let the system choose the best sequence
automatically or you can do it yourself manually.
1. Automatic sequencing

 By System
The system decides which tool are first to be punched by choosing the smallest tool first regardless of the
shape and by the distance to centers, it does a good job and will save you tons of time. To start use pull
down Sequence- Automatic-Do sequence menu as shown below.

 By Tool Priority
You are given the chance to arrange the tool order in which the system will generate the sequence. A dialog
box pop up with the list of tools and arrows to alter the order as shown below:

2. Manual sequencing you can go three ways to generate the sequence manually; All single hits, all grid
groups (U-V-W for amada machines) or a mix of both single hits and groups.
 All Single Hits
 To sequence this way all you have to do is click the Sequence-Add pull down menu as shown above.
Once you get in to the work area click on any entity that you wan to sequence first, just once, then use
the Do common Tool command to automatically locate the rest of the same tools in the sheet, do the
same thing for all the tools and patterns in you sheet.
When you are done with all your tools and patterns then you are ready to generate g-code by using the
File-Make Nc Code pull down menu.

 Using Grids Groups

Start by opening a group, use the Sequence- Open Grid command and next pick a tool or entity once then
use the Do Common Tool option to find the rest of the tool or entities in the part, once done that you have to
close the group by using pull down menu Sequence-Grid X or Sequence-Grid Y.
- Sequence-Grid X will close the group and punch the group in X direction.
- Sequence-Grid Y will close the group and punch the group in Y direction.
When you are done with all your tools and patterns then you are ready to generate g-code by using the
File-Make Nc Code pull down menu.

 Mix of single hits and groups do both at the same time as described above. To generate single hits a
group must be closed or otherwise you are just generating groups.

Other useful commands that would help you do the sequence are :
Sequence-Undo, which will reset your sequence one step back at a time.

Reset All will reset your sequence all the way back to start again from the beginning.

Sequence-Show Me-Last Hit will show you the last tool hit in the sequence by redrawing your screen
and showing just this tool hit so you know your position when sequencing.

Sequence-Show Me-Hits Not Sequenced will redraw your screen and show you all the tool hits that
