Whnf Is If
When C.N.C. machines are built, a physical location in the machine is defined as a Reference
position. The Prodigy lathe needs to be sent to that position after starting up so the machine
knows where it is. The machine can then accurately position itself as required.

Cartesian Coordinate System

Whnf Is If
The Cartesian coordinate system was developed by the mathematician Descartes during an
illness. As he lay in bed sick, he saw a fly buzzing around on the ceiling, which was made of
square tiles. As he watched he realized that he could describe the position of the fly by the
ceiling tile he was on. After this experience he developed the coordinate plane to make it
easier to describe the position of objects. A C.N.C. machine tool uses this system to
describe part geometry to be machined. This definition of the Cartesian coordinate system
was provided by the Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. at: www.shodor.org

Page D16: Offsets
Offset

Whnf Is If
Offsets are electronic adjustments that allow the user to inform the machine where a cutting
tool is located.
Practical Use of Offsets
Each cutting tool requires a unique set of offset data. This adjustment tells the machine how
far the cutting point of the tool is from the reference position of a reference plane.
The Prodigy lathe has several types of offsets designed to accomplish different tasks. They
are: Work coordinate, geometry, wear, and radius compensation. We shall discuss them in
the order in which they are typically used during setting up the lathe.
Work Coordinate
This offset is used to tell the machine how far the tool-plate must move from home position
to where it is determined that Z0 (zero) of the part is located. Home position is where the
tool-plate positions when you start-up the machine and perform a Reference Return as
instructed in Section B of this document. As different length parts are run, this offset is
adjusted to compensate. Because the distance from the X-axis reference position to the
centerline of the spindle never changes and the location of C0 (zero) never changes, a Work
Coordinate is only required for the Z axis.
Geometry
Each tool is placed on the tool-plate with a unique distance from its cutting point to the
reference position of both the X and Z-axes. Because the distance from the reference
positions to a tools cutting point in both X axis and Z axis is unique, each tool must have
both an X and Z geometry offset. Typically, the geometry offset chosen will be the same as
the tool number assigned to a tool in the program.
Wear
A wear offset is used to make small adjustments without disturbing the geometry offset. This
feature allows the operator to recover quickly from mistakes made when making small
(typically less than .005) offset changes and can be useful in tracking tool wear. The
geometry and wear offsets are added to the work coordinate to identify the tools cutting
points distance from the X axis and Z axis reference positions.
Radius Compensation
This offset tells the machine what radius the cutting tool has and in which direction the tool is
facing. More detail concerning use of offsets can be found in Sections F and G.

G12.1 and G13.1, Polar Milling.
The polar milling option allows the Prodigy GT-27 to perform milling operations of
complex geometries using rotating (live) tools. In this mode, the part is programmed as if
the lathe were a milling machine with the C-Axis functioning as a virtual Y-Axis. Once
M21 mode is active no additional commands are required to use the indexing function
either before or after using polar milling. This mode is typically used when the live tools
centerline is parallel to the lathes Z-axis.
The origin point of the virtual Y-Axis is the origin point of the centerline of the part.
This function has requirements that must be met:
1. The M05, spindle rotation stop command must be in effect before entering
3-Axis mode.
2. The modal command M21; 3-Axis mode, must be in effect before C-Axis
commands will be accepted.
3. M50, M52 or M56, Live tool rotation on must be in effect before cutting.
4. G98, feed in inches/per minute mode, must be used. Commands issued using
the G99, feed in inches per revolution mode, will cause zero motion.
5. A C-Axis command [usually C0 (zero)] must be executed before G12.1 will be
accepted.
6. Tool Radius Compensation is required. The radius of the end-mill must be
entered into the Geometry Offset page, R column for the tool used to mill.
The T value in the Geometry Offset page is set to 0 (zero).
7. Tool Radius Compensation must be cancelled before activating compensation.
Compensation must be cancelled while G12.1 is still active.
8. The modal command M20; 2-Axis mode, must be restored before an M03
(Spindle Rotation, Forward) or M04 (Spindle Rotation, Reverse) command can
be executed.
9. X-Axis coordinates are in diameters and C-Axis (Virtual Y-Axis) coordinates
are radial (divide diameter by 2).

G07.1 or G107, Cylindrical Machining.
This function is designed for milling complex shapes, such as J-slots or text on a cylinder.

This function has requirements that must be met:
1. The M05, spindle rotation stop command must be in effect before entering

2. The modal command M21; 3-Axis mode, must be in effect before C-Axis

the G99, feed in inches per revolution mode, will cause zero motion.
5. A C-Axis command [usually C0 (zero)] must be executed before G07.1 will be

6. Tool Radius Compensation is optional. If you desire to use radius
compensation, the radius of the end-mill must be entered into the Geometry
Offset page, R column for the tool used to mill. The T value in the
Geometry Offset page is set to 0 (zero).
7. Tool Radius Compensation must be cancelled while G07.1 is still active.
8. The modal command M20; 2-Axis mode, must be restored before an M03

Macro

Whnf Is If
As it relates to computers, a macro is a command that stands for a sequence of operations.
In C.N.C. usage, a macro is an instruction or series of instructions that repeats a sequence of
operations without having to key in each move. This description sounds like a canned cycle
because canned cycles use macro technology to function. A macro allows the use of
algebraic functions. This ability gives the user of a macro the greatest flexibility of the
many types of commands available. The canned cycles are a type of macro in that they take
a variable value and use it to complete a function. Example: when you change the Q
word in the G76 threading cycle, the process is altered: More passes are taken when Q is
decreased. The control uses algebra to calculate how many moves to create based on the
present value of several variables.
A variable, as it relates to c.n.c. programming is a symbol in a command or cycle that can be
changed by changing value stored in another location. All c.n.c. controls come with locations
in memory reserved to store these values. The # symbol is used by the control to identify
these stored values.
A macro variable can store any numeric value that is to be repeated in a program. Variables
are also used to count the number of repetitions of a sequence and then notifying the
controller when it is time to move on to the next process.
The values can be negative numbers and fractions stated as decimal equivalents.
Macros use conditional statements with algebraic statements to perform functions. One
example is the counting function used to control repetitions.
Another use of a macro command allows the programmer to execute commands that are not
displayed in sequence on the screen.
Example: The block If [#1=1]GOTO100; tells the control that if variable #1=1, skip to the
block labeled N100 and continue executing commands from that position in the program. If
the variable contains any value other than 1, the control will move on to the next sequence in
the program and begin processing commands. By placing a sequence desired to commence
between the block containing the If statement and the block labeled N100 it is possible to
define two different sets of geometry that can be selected by controlling the value of variable
#1. This is a powerful feature when programming a family of parts with common
features.

Program Sample

This section will illustrate a complete sample program. The program uses many of the
cycles discussed in previous sections of this manual as well as commands not covered.
Refer to the Prodigy Operators Manual and the Fanuc Operators Manual for details.

Features used:

Nxx: N is used to label a block for searching in edit mode or for use by a canned cycle.

/: / Is block skip. With this option set to on via soft keys, the program will skip past
this command without executing it. In this application, block skip is used to reduce
