1.3 Expansion Stages (Options)
The machine manufacturer configures the CNC PILOT according to
the capabilities of the specific lathe. The following upgrades (options)
are available, which enable you to adapt the control to your specific
requirements:
■ TURN PLUS
Graphically supported interactive contour definition
■ Graphic description of the workpiece for blank and finished part
■ Geometry-programming function for calculating and displaying
missing contour data
■ Simple input of standard form elements like chamfers, rounding
arcs, recesses, undercuts, threads, fits, etc.
■ Easy-to-use transformations like shifting, rotating, mirroring or
multiplying
DIN PLUS program generation with interactive graphics
■ Selection of the appropriate machining method
■ Selection of the tools and definition of the cutting data
■ Direct graphic control of machining process
■ Immediate compensation possibility
Automatic DIN PLUS program generation
■ Automatic selection of tools
■ Automatic generation of working plan
■ TURN PLUS – extension by C-axis or Y-axis
■ C-axis: representation of programmed contour in the following
views: XC plane (front/rear end) and ZC plane (unrolled surface)
■ Y-axis: representation of programmed contour in the following
views: XY plane (front/rear end) YZ plane (side view)
■ Hole and figure patterns
■ Fixed cycles
■ Interactive or automatic working plan generation – also for
machining with the C-axis or Y-axis
■ TURN PLUS – extension by opposing spindle
■ Rechucking with expert program
■ Interactive or automatic generation of working plan – also for
rechucking and 2nd setup
■ In-process measuring
■ With triggering probe
■ For measuring tools
■ For measuring workpieces
■ Post-process measuring
■ Connection of measuring system via RS-232 interface
■ Evaluation of measuring results in Automatic mode
Options can usually be retrofitted. Your machine manufacturer can
give you more information on retrofitting.
This operating manual describes all
options.The operating sequences
described in this manual may therefore
deviate from those on your machine
whenever a certain option is not supported
by your system.
