Introduction
The individual chapters of this manual explain the essential functions involved in operating and handling the
system. The functions described here are also intended to give you a general idea of the systems capabilities
(as well as the possibilities offered for implementing dedicated training courses).
These not only include the creation of NC programs and simulating and checking their quality, but also many
other realistic ways of teaching the trainees basic CNC machine tool functions using computer support.
The examples used in the simulation are available in the programming keys of all CNC control systems supplied
by our company.
Trainees are guided through system operation step-by-step, enabling them to learn the underlying principles
and the operation of the CNC simulator in a very short time.
After some introductory explanations, we will first show you how to set up the simulator according to a work plan
and how to create a setup sheet.
1.1.
How operating elements are represented in TopTurn
The operating elements and the meaning of their functions are shown by the simulator as 10 function buttons in
a menu bar at the bottom of the screen corresponding to the function keys of a PC or control keyboard.
Main menu:
To activate the desired function, either move the mouse pointer to the respective function button and click on
the leftt-hand mouse button

of the PC keyboard. This
To help you follow the explanations more easily, the functions which you have to select from the menu
structures are shown in the explanatory and instruction texts with a coloured or darker background, or are
indicated by symbols representing PC keys.
To begin with, you only need to carry out the individual steps as instructed.
If the desired result is not achieved due to an input error, please observe the following notes:
You can return to the main menu or the start-up status of the simulator at any time by pressing the
or
key. Depending on how far down the menu tree you are, you may have to press the key several times.
To select or de-select functions, use the keys
Generally, a function is concluded or accepted by pressing
. This may pull up a new menu.

. If you have navigated through several
menus in order to select a specific function, you will have to exit each menu, one at a time by pressing
or
the appropriate number of times. This, too, will return you to the main menu.
Instead of using the function keys the windows toolbar can be used for operation

Starting of TopTurn
Click on the Windows START button in the task bar, select the Programs folder and then (sofar you have not
changed the folder name when installing the software) the MTS-CNC English folder to access the MTS
programs TopTurn, TopMill or TopCAM.
The respective documentation / training manuals are stored in PDF format in the Help subfolder.
If you start TOPCAM, the start-up menu will offer you the following software modules for selection:
TopCAM
A CAD system with integrated NC programming for
turning/lathe work with up to 5 axes and milling work
with 3 axes
TopTurn
NC programming module, either control-systemspecific or of neutral ISO control system type, with
simulation and collision detection; optionally available
with opposite spindle and up to 7 axes
TopMill
NC programming module, either control-systemspecific or of neutral ISO control system type, with
simulation and collision detection in 3 axes
When you start up the TURNING software for the first time, an MTS configuration group with the MTS
programming key will always be active::
MTS TM -___.___.042x0500x1000 x MTS TM CONTROL

If you have not purchased the MTS programming key, which is independent of the type of control system, but
have a turning/lathe work control system using e. g. PAL94 command codes or SINUMERIK 820T, the Start
Turning button is not active after you have installed the software. In this case, you first have to select a
corresponding configuration group. This activates the Start Turning button. This configuration group selection
is memorized for subsequent program starts.

Notes on setting up a configurationtype
You can skip over this chapter when first learning to operate the software.
The name of a configuration group is always related to a particular combination of machine tool and control
system configurations. These are saved and managed by the Configuration Administration. For instance, a lathe
will be configured according to the manufacturers instructions. The definitive properties will include the
machining space, tool travel ranges, tool magazine type and the tool positions, number of NC axes, whether a
opposite spindle, headstock or tailstock are installed etc.
The control configuration will comprise the CNC programming syntax, the allocation of the optional
postprocessor and the control settings.
A postprocessor is always needed for translating an MTS

or PAL program into a specific control system code. The
same as with the programming key, this will be activated
after the target control system has been selected.
Which of these modules are available will depend on which software level you have purchased. You can add
modules whenever required.
In the following illustration, both modules, i. e. the programming key and the postprocessor are available. The
Postprocessor and Start turning buttons are therefore enabled and activated.

Let us start by explaining some features of the initial screen display.
The power-on state of the CNC simulator is
determined by a setup sheet. This describes a specific
simulator setup which is determined by the following
components:
a lathe chuck with clamping jaws,
the workpiece blank / blank material and
tooling setup with tool positions in the tool
magazine.
The start setup sheet is stored as header in an NC
program. In each control system, it is stored under the
program administration and is named
<DLFT_MTE.DNC>. The user can adapt this setup
sheet individually or can change its name of in the
respective control system configuration.
To activate the <DLFT_MTE.DNC> program and set up

the system, select <Automatic setup> by mouse pointer

Interactive mode
Interactive mode, called up by pressing the

key, enables the user to write, tocreate, edit and run an NC
program in dialog with the software. The CNC simulator runs the NC program block-by-block. The program can
be corrected at any time. After being executed by the simulator, any block can be rejected so that you can reedit it and then re-run on the simulator. During this process, the workpiece will be continuously updated, or, if
the block is rejected, the workpiece will be returned to its former condition.

2.4.
Tool tracing
The function <Tool tracing> is used to display the tool travel paths described by the selected NC program e. g.
<%020S2__TN09-TR01-16-TM1>.
The program is run and the programmed 3D tool tracing of the the tool tip are displayed graphically and each
tool is shown in different colors.
Careful and precise evaluation of the programmed tool movements in rapid speed and subsequent correction of
the NC program can lead to considerable reductions in manufacturing times.
With the toolbar you can manipulate the graphic display of the tool tracing and you can also alternatively insert
the workpart.
Note:
The currently selected NC program can be run in any of the simulation modes.
<Automatic mode>
<Single block>
<Interactive mode>
<Tool tracing>
If the setup sheet interpreter is activated, every time an NC program is started the CNC simulator will be set up
according to the setup sheet in the header of the NC program. This has the advantage that the original
workpiece blank is always placed back on the machine whenever the program is restarted.

Preparations for programming
Before starting to write an NC program, you must study the drawings and production specifications carefully. As
soon as all the information required for creating a program is available, you can start planning the individual
machining steps. It is important to take into consideration which machine tool the respective workpiece is to be
produced on and which tools and clamping devices are available on that machine tool.
Appendix 1 contains a complete drawing of the part (Drehteil 1, page ) used in our example.

Note:
The clamping device combination of chuck <KFD-HS 130> and jaw type <HM 110_130-02-002> can clamp
workpieces with a diameter of 50 mm up to 116 mm and can grip these up to a length of 18 mm to the jaw stop.
When creating a setup sheet, this informations will be saved as header in an NC program. Open this program in
the NC editor and you will see the following entry:

ZYLINDER D080.000 L122.000.
If you use the editor to change the dimension entries e. g. to D060.000 L050.000, a blank with these dimensions
will be used in the simulator the next time the program is started. If you have chosen a blank diameter which is
too small or too big for the combination of chuck and jaws, e. g. D040, an error message will be generated.
