1. INTRODUCTION

DECO 2000 belongs to a new generation of automatics with a sliding headstock. It replaces
the cam-controlled machine, improves ergonomics and reduces setup time. DECO 2000 com-
bines the productivity of the cam-controlled machine with all the advantages of the numerical
control.

The specific feature of the PNC-DECO control (parallel numerical control) is its capacity to man-
age all machine axes simultaneously. Each axis follows its own path in synchronization with all
the others.

Starting from the part drawing, you will program the part by means of the dedicated TB-DECO
software running on MicrosoftWindows. You can simulate part machining with the SIM-
DECO simulation software. Then you will download your program into the machine over the
DNC-DECO communication software.

A new part is usually programmed from a basic part model. This model comprises, according
to the mechanical configuration of the machine, a basic operation schedule. Each machine con-
figuration has its own model of basic part. These basic part models, particularly useful for creat-
ing a new program, will be copied on your hard disk at the installation of TB-DECO.

This document gives you all information required to produce a part program and is complemen-
tary to the TB-DECO SOFTWARE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT manual for DECO 2000.

The operator training courses on DECO 2000 provide the trainees with the competence and
self-assurance adequate for the programming and for the best possible application of the
DECO 2000 potential.

G26 / G27 CHAMFER PROGRAMMING

By definition the chamfer must be programmed between two segments (i.e.
two segments entered over G01) and within a single operation.
If one or both segments are circular, the programming is called Simplified Con-
tour Programming.
For Simplified Contour Programming, only G26 (Circular Chamfer Link) is
enabled. G27 (Linear Chamfer Link) would produce an error.
G26 or G27 entered in the last segment of an operation are of no conse-
quence, i.e. two segments of two different operations cannot be automatically
chamfer-linked.
G26 Circular Chamfer Link

L
G26 L.... E....
L = Fillet Radius (facultative)
E = Tool path velocity for chamfer expressed in active units (facultative)

G27 Linear Chamfer Link

L
L = Chamfer Length for positive value (facultative)
L− L− = Chamfer Length / 1.414 for negative value (facultative)
E = Tool path velocity for chamfer expressed in active units (facultative)

Notes :  Settings entered under L are saved for G26 and G27 separately.
Parameter L is facultative and when omitted, G26/G27 will take its last
setting entered in G26/G27.
If no settings are given under L, G26 will take the default settings from
Default Radius Box and G27 from ChamferLength Box in the Global
section of the machine database.
 The last setting entered under E is saved and remains identical for G26
and G27.

Parameter E is facultative and, if omitted, G26/G27 takes its last setting.
If no E settings are available, G26/G27 will take the last velocity setting
for the segments.
 Angle or fillet to be entered between the movement programmed in the
same block and the movement in the next block.
 Linear chamfer is perpendicular to the bisecting line of the angle for−
med by the two chamfer-lined segments.
 Circular chamfer is tangent with the two chamfer-lined segments.

G95* Synchronous Feedrate [mm/rev]
G90 G95 G190
For the PNC-DECO control all axes are independent of each other: For this
reason spindle speeds are in no way related to feedrates.
Feedrates [mm/rev] are controlled according to the programmed spindle
speeds and converted then to [mm/min].
The programmed feedrate [mm/rev] is real on the machine only when the
spindle and axis overrides are identical, usually 100% by default.
Feedrate [mm/rev] is disregarded when :
 overriding axis feedrate only, i.e. axis feedrate changes while spindle
speed does not.
 overriding spindle speed only, i.e. spindle speed changes while axis
feedrate does not.
To avoid problems with relating spindle speeds to the calculation of feedrates
[mm/rev], set up the program as follows :
S1 in Operation Line of Comb-Gang 1
S2 in Operation Line of Comb-Gang 2
S3 in Operation Line of Frontwork Gang
S4 in Operation Line of Backwork Gang

G100 Rapid Traverse

(unproductive movement)
G100 optimizes unproductive motions :
At first the system determines the highest possible traversing rate between
between the axis start and end points. If however the axis reaches its end point
too soon, it will have to stand by for action. If so, the system recomputes the
rate down, which brings the axis to its end point a little later, i.e. right before
it is required to move into action again.

M198 / M498 ROTARY AXES

M198 Switch S1-Spindle to Rotary Axis (C1)
M498 Switch S4-Spindle to Rotary Axis (C4)
A spindle is programmed in rotary axis in the same way as for linear axis.
Hence a rotary axis is a complete axis and must be stated in the database.
It must also appear as axis in Operation Line.
Rotary axes are often inexistent physically but they do appear in Operation
Line.
The switched spindle is specified by hundreds 1 and 4.
A facultative Parameter D can be added to M198/M498. This D can contain
Value −1 (interpolation in polar coordinates) or Part Diameter allowing for work
in the “developed” rotary axis, i.e. programming on the developed circumfer-
ence.
Defaulted D gives a developed circumference of 360 mm or 36 inches. With
this, a Slave-Axis machining can be simulated to perform positioning in
degree-equivalent units.
Note : For Rotary Axis :
 All axis functions are enabled except Interlinked-Axes.
 Part Diameter in D, entered in M198 and M498 cannot be edited during
operation. This can be done when switching only.
 The switching remains active (also for other operations)
until reversed.
 Spindle is reset [0°] on switching.

Configurate preferably outside the loop of the main program :
E.g.: Put a sensor on Socket 1 and consequently use Output 1 and Input 1 of Socket 1.
In tool absence, enable an alarm.

4.6 INTERPOLATION IN POLAR COORDINATES (TRANSMIT FUNCTION)

Interpolations in polar coordinates are programmed in a Cartesian plane, i.e. in X, Y-coordi-

nates. For programming movements and only for them, the combination of C-axis and X-axis
is used.

 Enter −1 as a facultative parameter of M198.

 Enter M198 D−1 to enable the function.
 Enter M199 to disable the function.

Operation Line with M198 D−1 code for machining in polar coordinates must have X-axis as
Master Axis 1, C-axis as Master Axis 2 and a third axis as Slave Axis (e.g. Z).

Master Axis 1 must be absolutely a diameter axis (X), i.e. an axis of machining on diameter.

Example : MILLING A SQUARE

300482 E − 07/99 Chap. 4.6 /15

 TORNOS
PROGRAMMING − DECO 13 BECHLER

After switching to polar coordinates with M198 D−1, the X and C-axes are defined as shown
below :

2 1

X− X

3 4

C−

Correct Positioning of Part Zero at Bar Center :

 Make absolutely sure to put the initialize block before the M198 D−1 block and that it calls
all axes.
The initialize block must look as follows (for Operation Line with X2, C1 Z1) :
G1 G100 X2=... Z1=... T...
The rotary axis does not exist at this moment. So, with the initialize block as such, there is no
need to generate a movement.

X and C axis coordinates

Point * X C
1 14 7
2 −14 7
3 −14 −7
4 14 −7
* Points 1 to 4 see Fig. above

The part is then programmed in a new Cartesian plane defined by X and C axes.

Restrictions :
 Avoid passing through the part center during an interpolation in polar coordinates.
 Reduce the feedrate near the center to avoid abrupt motions (180°) of the rotary axis.

Programming with Cutter Compensation :

 To facilitate programming, use cutter compensation over G41 or G42.
 Cut the said square with a 63 mm-∅ saw on a polygoning attachment in Position T24
(20mm-capacity DECO2000 lathe).
The square form will be obtained by combining the X2 and C1 motions.

Tool Geometry :
 Enter X geometry for cutter center :
e.g. for a 40 mm-∅ saw: D = 63, geometry X = −80

L
X

Programming and Diagram of Cutter Approach :

(Diagram, see overleaf)

On one hand, the cutter diameter is much bigger than that of the bar, on the other hand, the
X travel is limited, which requires a very careful programming (enabling G41 or G42) of the
approach movement.

 Make absolutely sure that after enabling cutter compensation the distance between the bar
center and any point on the tool center path be shorter than or equal to the maximum value
of the SOFTware limit switch of the X-axis.

 Also, avoid “plunging” effect of cutter compensation when a segment to cut (e.g. a shoulder)
is shorter than the cutter radius.
A possible procedure (which is not general and depends largely upon the form to cut) is to
program a Fictitious Point 2 and an Approach Point 3 on the contour, the latter avoiding the
plunging. Consequently, Point 6 cannot be used. Compensation Point 2‘ will be computed
in accordance with Starting Point 1, Fictitious Point 2 and Approach Point 3 on the part con-
tour. The cutter approach having been entered, the contour can be programmed.

The disabling of cutter compensation requires as much attention as the pro-
gramming of the cutter approach :
The axes must be in the same (machine) positions for the M199 disab-
ling and the M198 D−1 enabling of polar coordinates interpolation.
Hence, you may have to move around the part before cancelling the cut-
ter compensation with G40, Blocks (11.) to (13.) above.

Other Important Notes :

Software limit switch check for X and C is disabled during interpretation.
The sum of X and C displacements must be nil.
 Use M198 D−1 and M199 in one operation for them both.
Rotary C-axis alone or in polar coordinates interpolation cannot be pro-
grammed unless M198 is enabled.
 Free the spindle, involved in polar coordinates programming, from all
other functions such as positioning, sychro, etc.

Each tool is specified by Txx, xx designating the 1st or 2nd geometry.

The 1st geometry name corresponds also to the support name.
The geometries are entered in the tool catalogue as soon as the tool is generated.
The tools are distributed on the different tool systems in the following manner :

5.1.1 Support

The mounting position of each tool is called support. The 1st geometry’s name corresponds to
the support’s name.
A value of offset against the geometry reference point is input in the machine database for each
support.
For more than two geometries required for a support, use Tool Names T60 to T91, even num-
bers for the 1st geometry and odd numbers for the 2nd geometry.
Example : T60/T61, T62/T63...

5.1.2 What Is T0 For ?

T0 cancels geometry. When entered, it deletes tool geometrics and tool support data.

G923 carries out movements & functions according to the type of ejection spe-
cified in Variable #3017 :

#3017=0 Ejection due to pickoff spindle retract after part gripping

(by gripper)
The pickoff spindle is positioned in Z4 over Variable
#3018, i.e. the part gripping length and T50 geometry, for
part gripping.
At the same time, X4 is positioned according to geometry
T50 to align pickoff spindle and gripper.
Close gripper over M164. Feed part catcher chute over
M160.
The pickoff-spindle collet opens and the pickoff spindle
retreats for part ejection.
Shift axis X4 in minimum position (−310) to drop the part
in the part catcher chute.
The part is still held in the gripper.
Open gripper over M165.
The part drops down onto the part catcher chute.

#3017=1 The pickoff spindle is positioned according to T50

geometry to have its nut flush with the cage.
Close the cage over M164.
The pickoff-spindle collet opens and M84 feeds the
pickoff-spindle ejector. A dwell.
M85 retracts the ejector with the part still in the cage.
Shift X4 in minimum position (−310) to drop the part in the
part catcher chute.
Open cage over M165.
The part drops down onto the part catcher chute.

#3017=2 The ejection sequence is basically identical with that of

Variable #3017=0 but after the ejecting movement, i.e.
pickoff-spindle retract, M84 feeds the ejector,
M85 retracts it while the collet is flushed.

Explanations :
P1 For part ejection from pickoff-spindle, the latter retracts at a rate given
by parameter P1, the default rate being that of the rapid traverse, i.e.
20000 mm/min. For parts requiring careful handling, a reduced rate can
be entered.
P2 specifies a dwell after the ejector feed over M84,
the default dwell being 0.7 s.
P3 For part ejection from the the pickoff spindle, the latter retreats by a
distance equal to the part-pickoff length plus a safety clearance of 5 mm.
Parameter P3 allows to modify the safety clearance.
P4 Part presence check after ejection is effected by means of a cylinder
equipped with a rod. The latter effects a travel of 10 mm at the check.
The pickoff spindle is positioned at a distance such that the cylinder in
stand−by station is at a standard position of 5 mm in relation to the posi−
tion of the part before its ejection. Parameter P4 allows to modify the dis−
tance between the cylinder rod and the position of the part before its
ejection. A positive value increases the distance. A negative value
diminishes the distance (see figure 2).
P5 Parameter P5 allows the decentering of the checking cylinder in relation
to the part in the X4 sense. This procedure can be very useful in the case
of a drilled part whose bore diameter and depth are bigger than the dia−
meter and the travel of the checking cylinder. The value of P5 is
introduced on the diameter.
P6 Parameter P6 allows to close the pickoff spindle (M110) before the part
presence check, when the part is clamped on the exterior diameter. This
allows to avoid that the checking cylinder pushes the part into the pickoff
spindle, which would render the check inefficient.
P6 = 0 collet open before the check
P6 = 1 collet closed before the check

With the sliding-headstock spindle, Part Zero (Z-axis) shifts continuously dur-
ing machining.
G915 computes Additional Zero Offset G54 on Z3 against the <MC> position
in Z1.
Objective : To reestablish Part Zero for frontworking in T31 to T33.
Notes : Several G915’s can be entered for a single part because
after each Z1 movement, Part Zero must be recomputed.
 After each use of G915, make sure to cancel Additional Zero Offset
G54 with G53 Z3 before you enter a new G915.

Explanations :
 The part is centered with Operation 1:6. Next, it is drilled with Tool T31.
At that moment the part zero is not known and G915 is required to compute it in Z.
 G915 is entered in Operation 5:1 where a constraint must be imposed between the end
of Operation1:6 and the start of 5:1 because it is necessary to make Zero Offset on Z3
after the last Z1 movement in 1:6 to reestablish the current Part Zero.
 A constraint is imposed between the end of Operation 5:1 and the start of 3:3.
The operation contains G1 Z3=0.5 G100 code which positions the drill 0.5 mm off the work.
 Operation 3:4 effects drilling. It is interlinked with turning in 2:4.
 Cancel Zero Offset in Operation 3:6 with G53 Z3 at the end of drilling.
G53 Z3 cancels Additional Zero Offset executed with G915 on Z3 in 5:1.
The drill is cleared with the next block: G1 Z3=33 G100.
 Enter another G915 to reestablish Part Zero for the part which moved further and is almost
finished and for its drilled hole which must be now deburred with Tool T31. The programming
for Operations 3:6, 5:2 & 3:7 is identical with the one described above.

Note : G915 can be used as often as required.

6.2.4 G916-Macro: Zero Offset In Z4

Description : Zero Offset in Z4 for intermediate part-pickoff, e.g. to support the work in the
pickoff spindle or for pointed-cutoff.
G916 computes Additional Zero Offset G54 in Z4 against the <MC> position
of Z1.
Objective : Intermediate part-pickoff.
Notes : Several G916’s can be entered for the same part.
When Parameter P1 is active, Part-Pickoff Length will
be computed according to P1 value.
Unless P1 is specified, the distance will be taken from
Global Variable #3009.
 After each use of G916, make sure to cancel Additional Zero Offset
G54 with G53 Z4 before you enter a new G916.

Explanations :
 Operation 1:8 positions the cutoff tool in Z1 at the start of pointed-cutoff. At that moment
the work must be picked up and followed with Z4 for pointed-cutoff.
 Unless Z1 position then corresponds to the total part length, the part-pickoff length will be
false. If so, a G916 is required to compute an intermediate part-pickoff length.
 G916 is entered in Operation 5:3 where a constraint must be imposed between the end
of Operation1:8 and the start of 5:3 because it is necessary to make Zero Offset on Z4
after the last Z1 movement in 1:8 to effect Intermediate Part-Pickoff.
 A constraint is imposed between the end of Operation 5:3 and the start of 4:7 and a Stan-
dard TB-Wizard controls Part Pickoff.
 Make sure to cancel Zero Offset in Operation 4:10 with G53 Z4 after Part Pickoff.
G53 Z4 cancels Additional Zero Offset executed with G916 on Z4 in 5:3.
4:10 effects the retract after a regular part-pickoff.

Notes : Unless you specify Parameter P1 in G916, Part-Pickoff Length will be

taken from Global Variable #3009, i.e. 12.8 mm.

cal, external or internal or even on a face.
In some cases it may be of interest to check the movements necessary for
threading. This is possible over G130, G131 & G33.
Implementation of these instructions requires a good command of the parallel

Note : P12, P13 & P14 specify the number of threading cuts.
The number of cuts entered is indicative only.
In practice, the sum of cuts may slightly differ ($1 cut) from the number

P15 = Thread Length 0.5 − 0.1 + P6 + P9 by default
P15 is used to compute ideal default retract-path radius

Distance between P1 ∅ and mechanical obstacle in X
direction, e.g. hole ∅ in internal threading.
Retract path is arc of a circle.

Description of Info 1045
Info 1045 : RPM SPEED TOO HIGH. PATH ALTERED!
ATTENTION INTERNAL THREADING!
This info comes with the interpretation of G933 for a
thread of a small height (P6), a relatively big lead (P0) and
a high rpm speed.
Here, the path, computed by G933, contains segments,
too short to cut.
If you just clear 1045 info, G933 will simply extend certain

Attention ! Make sure to enter spindle speed in the operation with G933.
M150 ensures correct threading with enabled SPINDLE SPEED OVERRIDE.
At the end of the cycle, the tool returns to threading start.

G933 ROUGHING & FINISHING CUTS

Rule : The cuts are managed as follows :

Roughing cuts are computed for constant chip-removal volume, especially for
60° threading.
Finishing cuts are computed for constant depth of cut.

 Choose (a), (b) or (c), the example being for 8 cuts in total :
(a) Regular : P12=5 P13=3 5 roughing + 3 finishing cuts,
i.e. 5 cuts with constant chip-removal vol-
ume + 3 cuts with constant depth of cut

(b) Rough only: P12=8 P13=0 8 roughing + 0 finishing cuts,

i.e. 8 cuts with constant chip-removal vol-
ume

(c) Finish only : P12=0 P13=8 0 roughing + 8 finishing cuts,

i.e. 8 cuts with with constant depth of cut
(e.g. medical equipment threading or
special profiles)

THREAD PROGRAMMING WITH G130, G131 & G33

OPERATION OF MECHANICAL THREADING ATTACHMENT

A good understanding of how a threading attachment functions facilitates the understanding
of the TB-DECO “threading attachment” (procedure) controlled by electronic cams, i.e. cutting
paths stored in electronic memory and not in the form of a traditional mechanical cam.
In a mechanical threading attachment, cams are driven by the spindle. The movement is syn-
chronized with the spindle so that the single point tool follows always the thread on the work.
This attachment merely follows the thread. To cut, it must be fitted on a machine axis. The axis
is usually driven by a came which in turn is mounted on the feed camshaft.
The combination of both movements, i.e. threading and feed, results in cutting a thread.

OPERATION OF TB-DECO “THREADING ATTACHMENT”

In the parallel numeric control, stored programs represent the traditional cams.
The stored “threading attachment” programs are read with a speed controlled by the spindle.
The programs contain the threading movement only, i.e. a thread path to be followed. The TB-
DECO software uploads them into particular memories for a relevant code block with the G33
instruction.
The feed path programs (“cams of the main camshaft”) are also stored in memories and are
read with the speed controlled by the feed clock (ITP counter). The TB-DECO software uploads
them into particular memories for any code block without the G33 instruction.
You can also engage / disengage the movements of the “threading attachment” at any point
of the program over G130 / G131 respectively. Make sure however that no other movement of
axes concerned is under way.

How to program with G130 & G131 :

a) Calculate thread height (depth) :

h = 0.613 x P h = 0.613 x 1 = 0.613 mm

b) Calculate X & Y coordinates of Starting Point 1 (Fig. 604) :

X-coordinate :
The starting point to calculate in X must account for the fact that on enabling G130 the
threading movement (path from Point 1 to 4) commences. To avoid collision between the
tool and the work, take into account Thread Height + Safety (0.2 mm) between the tool and
work diameter of 6 mm.
This gives : X = 2 x h + 2 x 0.2 + 6 X = 2 x 0.613 + 2 x 0.2 + 6 = 7.626
Z-coordinate :
Assume that threading start is at Z= 2

c) Determine diameter for end of infeed :

The infeed movement starts at the diameter calculated in Item b) above. The final diameter
at the end of infeed must allow the tool to cut the full depth of thread. To determine this diam-
eter, take into account the tool path from Point 1 to 4. The X distance from Point 1 to 2 equals
in this case the thread height, i.e. 0.613 mm. For correct threading, the tool infeed will end
at the diameter of 6 mm.
Infeed End j = Start-j − 2 x Safety − 2 x Distance bet. Points 1 & 2

Notes : Blocks 6 − 8 :
Blocks 6 to 8 specify the threading movement and the dwell for some idle
passes.
The number of working cuts is determined by Feed F in Blocks 6 & 7.
Here, with F0.01 & F0.005, the actual number of cuts is 6.
With 2 idle passes added, the thread is completed with 8 passes.
To raise or reduce this number, alter infeed in Blocks 6 & 7 and compute then
the resultant number of passes by means of simulation, SIM_DECO.

Blocks 6 − 7 :
Infeed movement :
In the example above, the infeed is carried out in X-axis only.
You can also infeed simultaneously in X & Z axes simultaneously.

Blocks 13 :
Here the tool exits at 45°
Projected Lead = Actual Lead / cos (angle)
Projected Lead = 1 / cos 45° = 1.414

Blocks 11 − 14 :
The threading movement represents a loop.
Make absolutely sure to return to the starting point. Otherwise, Alarm 1016:
LOOPING ERROR IN THREADING CYCLE is given.

With a specified P8, the cycle uses a mathematical rule to compute progres-
sion drilling depths for each pass. The P6 & P7 values (for 1st & 2nd drilling)
affect the tool progression into the work.
When all P8-specified passes are completed, the following passes will prog-
ress by P1 (drill-∅) down to the final depth (P3).
P9 0.01 drill-∅ (drilling feed) by default
P10 0.288 120°-drill-∅ (drill point height) by default
P10 specifies a drill point height for centering with a feed of P11.
P11 0 (centering feed) by default
P11 is a feed for the drill point height of P10 while centering.
With P11 = 0 there is no centering.
P12 0 (drill retract feed) by default
You can specify a retract rate to avoid scratching the hole. G1 with P12=F
(feed) will clear the chips.
With P12 = 0 the drill retracts at high speed (G100 rapid traverse).

#2026 Retention-claws’ bar clawing Position <PR> in X1X2.
The claws move simultaneously in X1X2 by another 2 mm over the support-
claws’ approach position. The movement compresses the springs by 1 mm
and generates a pressure on the bar, adequate to support and claw it as
spindle retracts for the next feed.

7.3.5 Variable #3004: Feeding Allowance

The operation processing alarm Z1-AXIS OVERSHOOTS SOFTWARE LIMIT SWITCHES can
occur if spindle travel is too short for part machining in a situation such as :
 machining with an offset tool,
 tool position entered is greater than part length.
In both cases, enter in Variable #3004 a feed length greater than part length.

Calculate the data to be entered in Variable #3004, as follows :

1. Take into account the most offset tool geometry.
2. Subtract cutoff tool geometry from this geometry (cutoff side).
3. Note the farthest position programmed and the most offset tool.
4. Subtract part length from this position.
5. Add up the results of Items 2 and 4.
6. Enter the absolute positive value obtained in Variable #3004.

Example 1 :
 Part length : −10 mm
 Most offset tool geometry : −18
 Programmed position : −12 (u part length)

1. Most offset tool geometry : −18

2. Cutoff tool geometry subtracted from the Item 1. geometry : (−18) − (−16.5) = −1.5
3. Farthest programmed position : −12
4. Part length subtracted from Item 3. position : (−12) − (−10) = −2
5. Results of Items 2. and 4. added up : (−1.5) +(− 2) = −3.5
6. Absolute positive value of Item 5 to be entered in #3004 : 3.5

1. Most offset tool geometry : −25

2. Cutoff tool geometry subtracted from the Item 1. geometry : (−25) − (−16.5) = −8.5
3. Farthest programmed position : −8
4. Part length subtracted from Item 3. position : (−8) − (−10) = 2
5. Results of Items 2. and 4. added up : (−8.5) + 2 = −6.5

7.3.6 Variable #3005: Deburring Shift

At end-of-bar, the cutoff tool deburs remnant by infeeding 0.15 mm on radius from bar diameter
(see figure below).
 If remnant is cut off at bar diameter, Variable #3005 is 0.

DEBURRING REMNANT WITHOUT DEBURRING SHIFT

 If you find an excess turned length on the bar after cutoff, enter a deburring shift in Variable
#3005.
Deburring Shift length is specified by a positive value in Variable #3005.
Attention ! If the deburring shift figure in Variable #3005 remains 0 while there is an
excess turned length, the tool will go only through the deburring motion
off the remnant.

7.3.11 Variable #3014: Z1-Axis Retract For Remnant Ejection

This variable is used with barfeeder only.

At end-of-bar, after deburring remnant, the spindle Z1-axis retracts for remnant ejection out of
the guidebush.
 Macro G913 default retract : 25 mm
It can be increased, if insufficient, by entering a figure in Variable #3014.
 A positive value increases retract.
 A negative value reduces retract.
Example: Default retract : 25 mm
Variable #3014 : 10 mm
Total retract : 25 + 10 = 35 mm

7.3.12 Variable #3015: Z1-Axis Feed For New Bar Insertion

This variable is used with barfeeder only.

 Macro G914 default feed : 25 mm
It can be increased, if insufficient, by entering a figure in Variable #3015.
 A positive value increases feed.
 A negative value reduces feed.
Example: Default feed : 25 mm
Variable #3015 : 10 mm
Total feed : 25 + 10 = 35 mm

7.3.13 Variable #3016: S1 Speed For Next Part Feeding

Variable #3016 reduces S1-spindle speed for feeding next part to avoid scratches on bar
diameter.
The speed reduction is executed over Macro G912 (feeding) with the spindle collet open.
Macro G912 having been executed, the spindle resumes its speed specified in the Initial
Spindle Speed dialog box.

Note : If the speed specified in the Initial Spindle Speed dialog box is negative (S1
spindle On, ccw M104), enter also a negative speed in Variable #3016.
If Variable #3016=0 for feeding, the speed will not be reduced.
If the speed reduction is considerable (e.g. from 10000 to 200 rpm), the feed-
ing and spindle deceleration occur simultaneously.
In this case, to make sure that the speed entered in Variable #3016 (200 rpm)
is attained before feeding next part, increase the dwell in Variable #3007.
Also to make sure that the initial speed (10000 rpm) is resumed after G912,
increase the dwell in Variable #3008. Some downtime may be the conse-
quence.

8.11 SAMPLE KEYWAY CONTOURING WITH CUTTER COMPENSATION

You can interpolate between two master axes only. The default master axes on Comb-Gangs1
& 2 are Z1, X1 & Z1, X2 respectively. The slave axes are Y1 & Y2 respectively.

In this example, Z1 & Y2 axes are used in circular interpolation.

 Use G83-function to permute Master Axis X2 with Slave Axis Y2 for programming circular
interpolation.

Cutter Radius 1.5 mm with Quadrant 9 (Q0 =9)

8.12 SAMPLE GROOVING WITH CUTTER COMPENSATION

The groove must be wider than than the tool plus twice the cutter radius.
Attention ! If the groove is narrower than the tool, it is machined but the tool plunges too
wide in the stock and the TB-DECO does not display this fault.
The only way to display it is to simulate the program before machining.
