6.12 Interactive Working Plan
Generation (IWG)
In the IWG, you define the individual blocks of the
working plan. You do this by selecting the tool and the
cutting values and determining the fixed cycle.
The semiautomatic mode generates a complete
work block (part machining).
In special machining (SM) you add paths of traver-
se, subprogram calls or G/M functions (example: use
of tool handling systems).
A working block may have the following content:
■
The tool call
■
The cutting data (technology data)
■
Approaching the workpiece
■
Fixed cycle
■
Retraction
■
Approaching the tool change position
When the tool data/cutting data of the previous
working block are used, TURN PLUS does not
generate a new tool call or commands for a new feed
rate/spindle speed.
Generating a Working Block
Select the required machining operation.
<
Select the tool (”Tool” submenu)
<
Select ”Cutting data”
■
Check/optimize the cutting data.
■
Activate/deactivate the coolant and define the
coolant circuit
<
Select ”Cycle - Machining range.”
■
Define the machining range by selection
■
TURN PLUS marks the selected area
<
Select ”Cycle – Cycle parameters”
■
TURN PLUS opens the ”cycle parameters” dialog
box
■
Check/optimize the parameters

Generating a Working Block (continued)
If required, select ”Cycle - Approach.”
■
Enter approach position and type of approach
<
If required, select ”Cycle - Retract tool.”
■
Enter the position and type or retraction
<
If required, select ”Cycle - Move to tool change point.”
■
Enter position and type of approach to the change point
<
”Start” – TURN PLUS stimulates the machining (see ”
6.14 Control
Graphics”)

You can accept the work block:
■
Accept: The work block is saved and the workpiece contour
updated (the work block is saved and the workpiece is updated
(regeneration of the blank)
■
Change: TURN PLUS rejects the work block – check/optimize the
parameters and simulate again
■
Repeat: TURN PLUS simulates machining again
