6.13 Preparing a Machining Process

Preparing a machining process – Fundamentals

The “Prepare” function defines the chucking equipment, the position
of the chucking equipment, and TURN PLUS specific turret
assignments.

For chucking a workpiece, TURN PLUS determines the following data:

„

Inside and outside cutting limit.

„

Zero point shift. The value is transferred to the NC program as a G59
command.

TURN PLUS transfers the following set-up information to the program
head:

„

Clamping diameter

„

Free length

„

Clamping pressure

„

You can set/change the cutting limits.

„

If you do not use “clamp” TURN PLUS assumes
standard values.

„

You define the chucking equipment for the second
setup after machining the first setup.

„

If you clamp the workpiece at the spindle and the
tailstock, TURN PLUS assumes that a shaft is
machined
(see “Shaft machining” on page 557).
