Chapter 1 Programming Fundamentals
1.1 Technology Flow of CNC Machining
Programming is a course of workpiece contours, machining technologies, technology parameters and

tool parameters being edit into part programs according to special CNC programming commands. CNC
machining is a course of CNC controlling a machine tool to complete machining of workpiece according to
requirements of part programs. Technology flow of CNC machining is as following Fig. 1-1.

1.2 Axis and Coordinate System
GSK980TDa uses a rectangular coordinate system composed of X, Z axis. X axis is perpendicular with
axes of spindle and Z axis is parallel with axes of spindle; negative directions of them approach to the
workpiece and positive ones are away from it. GSK980TDa uses a rectangular coordinate system composed
of X and Z axis, and the coordinate system plane is the motion plane of tool post. Fig. 1-2 is the front tool
post coordinate sketch map of a vertical turning machine.
1
Fig. 1-2
After the coordinate system plane is established, we need to establish the coordinate system.
GSK980TDa uses G50 to establish the workpiece, and the established workpiece is valid till it is replaced by
a new one. Generally, Z axis of the workpiece coordinate system coincides with the spindle axis.
Fig. 1-3
There are a front tool post and a rear tool post of NC turning machine according to their relative position
between the tool post and the spindle, Fig. 1-4 is a coordinate system of the front tool post and Fig. 1-5 is a
rear toolpost one. It shows exactly the opposite of X axis, but the same of Z axis from figures. In the manual,
it will introduce programming application with the front tool post coordinate system in the following figures
and examples.
Fig.1-4 Front tool post coordinate system Fig. 1-5 Rear tool post coordinate system
1.3 Structure of an NC Program
A program consists of a sequence of blocks, beginning with “OXXXX”（program name）and ending with
“%”; a block begins with block number (omitted) and ends with “;” or “*”. See the general structure of program
as Fig.1-6:
2
Program name
Word
Block
Character for end of block
Character of end of program
Program
Fig. 1-6 Structure of program
Program name To identify it, each program has only one program name (there is no the same
program name), beginning with command address O and the following 4-bit digits.
Word A word is the basic command unit to command CNC system to complete the control function,
composed of an English letter (called command address) and the following number (operation
command with/without sign). The command address describes the meaning of its following
operation command. The common words include G, M, F, S, T and so on.
Block number A block number consists of an address N and its following 4-bit digits: N0000～N9999.
The block number must be at the beginning of block, otherwise the block is invalid. In
programming, the block number is generally omitted.
Character for end of block “；” marking the block is completed.
Example: block N0001 G01 X100 Z100 G98 F200；
Meanings as follows:
Block number is N0001, G 01 is the linear interpolation, X100 Z100 is the position of absolute
coordinate of end point. G98 is the feed per minute, F200 is the cutting speed 200mm/min. The
block indicates the tool cuts linearly with the cutting speed 200mm/min from the current point to the
one which absolute position is X100, Z100.
Character for end of program “%” is an ending character of program. “%” is a mark of
communication ended when the program is transmitted. The
system will automatically insert “％” at the end of program.
1.4 Absolute Programming and Incremental Programming
Describing the position of target point uses the absolute value and incremental value methods in CNC
programming.
3
Fig. 1-7
Absolute value method uses the absolute position of target position in the workpiece coordinate system
to describe the target point; as Fig. 1-7, A absolute coordinates: X100, Z100; B absolute coordinates: Z200,
Z50.
Programming with absolute value to program (X, Z) is defined to be the absolute programming;
Incremental value method uses the offset of target point compared to the coordinates of starting point to
describe the target point; In the figure, A coordinates compared to those of B point are U100, W-50. U100 is
the X positive offset 100 of B compared to A point; W-50 is Z negative offset 50 of B compared to A point.
Programming with incremental movement (U, W) is defined to be the incremental programming;
In GSK980TDa, X, Z axis separately uses the absolute programming and incremental program, which is
called the compound programming.
Example: A→B linear interpolation. As Fig.1-7, use three methods to execute the linear
interpolation from the starting point of A to B point. G01 is the linear interpolation.
Absolute programming: G01 X200 Z50；

Incremental programming: G01 U100 W-50；
Compound programming: G01 X200 W-50；or G01 U100 Z50
1.5 Diameter programming and Radius programming
Programming methods of X coordinates are divided into: diameter programming and radius
programming.
Diameter programming: When X input command value is by diameter and X coordinates are shown
in diameter at the moment;
Radius programming: When X input command value is by diameter and X coordinates are shown in
radius at the moment
Whether the diameter programming or the radius programming is determined by the system parameter,
generally, we use the diameter programming.
4
Note: The diameter programming is used except for the special description in the following
explanation.
Example: As Fig.1-8, X axis of workpiece coordinate system is right end face of workpiece,
Diameter programming: A coordinates X50 Z0；
B coordinates X50 Z-30
C coordinates X80 Z-50
Radius programming: A coordinates X25 Z0;

B coordinates X25 Z-30;
C coordinates X40 Z-50;
Fig. 1-8

Chapter 2 Programming
Automatic machining process of CNC machine is defined to the automatic run course of part programs
which have been edit in advance. Programming is that we use commands (words) which are exclusive to
CNC system to describe the drawings and technology to compile the machining programs of parts.
The chapter mainly introduces the common commands of programs.
2.1 S Command
S command is used for controlling spindle speed and GSK980TD has two modes to control it, Spindle
speed switching value control: spindle speed gear control and spindle speed frequency conversion control.
One of them used by GSK980TDa is determined by the system parameter (after delivery, the spindle
control mode is determined by the machine manufacturer), and can be judged by the display windows.
Spindle speed gear control mode Spindle speed frequency conversion mode
Note: Press MDI

into MDI operation mode, press (press or ) into the
program window.
Spindle speed gear control mode: S□□□□（01～04）specifies the spindle gear and controls the spindle
speed.
Example: S01 specifies the first gear of spindle speed, and the actual speed is determined by
the machine.
Spindle speed frequency conversion control mode: S□□□□（0～9999）specifies the actual speed of
spindle. Unit: rev/min.
Example: S300 specifies the spindle speed to be 300 rev//min; S1260 specifies the spindle
speed to be 1260 rev/min.
2.2 M Command
M command consists of command address M and its following 1～2 digits, used for controlling the
operations ON/OFF of the machine and run sequence of machining program, and the common M
commands are as follows:
6
Common M commands
Command Function Remark
M03 Spindle CCW M03 and M04 control the spindle direction, and the actual speed is
specified by S command, so, M03/M04 and S command should be
M04 Spindle CW
matched in machining. “M03, S500” is the CCW spindle 500
M05 Spindle stop rev/min.
M08 Cooling ON
M09 Cooling OFF
M30 End of program
2.3 T Command
Machining one workpiece needs several different tools which coordinates are different coordinates of
cutting position because their installation and tool length are different. So, the system must automatically
execute the tool change to eliminate the influence caused by the above difference, otherwise, which causes
the difficult programming and large calculation. T command of GSK980TDa can execute the automatic tool
change and tool compensation.
Command format:
T □□ 〇〇
Tool offset number （00-32）
Target tool number （01-32）
Command function: The automatic tool post rotates to the target tool number and the tool offset of tool
offset number commanded is executed. After tool offset is executed, the system
can execute T□□00 to cancel the tool offset, and there is only one T command in
one block.
Example: T0202 indicates that the system executes the No. 2 tool change and the No. 2 tool offset.
2.4 F Command
Use F command to specify the cutting feedrate in the block.

In G98, the format: F ；（F0001～F8000, feed distance per minute of slide, unit: mm/min）
In G99, the format: F；（F0.001～F500，
The actual cutting feed of the tool is controlled by F value and feedrate override, and the system
provides 16 steps feedrate override (0～150％, increment of 10%), which is controlled by the feedrate
FEEDRATE
OVERRIDE
FEEDRATE
override key OVERRIDE or on the machine panel.
2.5 G Command
G command consists of command address G and its following 1～2 bits command value, used for
defining the motion mode of tool relative to the workpiece, defining the coordinates and so on.
2.5.1 Rapid Traverse (Positioning) G00
Command format: G00 X（U） Z（W）；

7
Command function: rapid traverse

Command specifications: X（U）
，Z（W）are coordinate values of end points, X, Z are absolute values,
U, W are incremental values.
All or one of X (U), Z (W) can be omitted. When one of them is omitted, the
coordinate values of starting point and end point of the axis; when they are
omitted, the starting point and end point are in the same position.
Note: For the following G commands in the User Manual, X (U), Z (W) specifications are the same
except for the special notes.
Example: The program is realized by the tool rapidly traversing from A (60, 23) to B (40, 0) as
follows:
Program:
G00 X40 Z0 （absolute programming）

2.5.5 Workpiece Coordinate System G50
Command format: G50 X_ Z ；

Command function: To define the absolute coordinates of current position and create the workpiece
coordinates system (called floating coordinates system) by setting the absolute
coordinates of current position in the system.
9
Command specifications:
G50 is non-modal;
X: X new absolute coordinates of current position;
Z: Z new absolute coordinates of current position;
Example：
Z
A(200,90)
A(100,50)
X X
Previous workpiece cooridnate system New workpiece corridnate system set by G50
Fig. 2-5
As Fig. 2-5, before the coordinate system is set by G50, the absolute coordinates of A point are (200,
90). After “G50 X100 Z50；” is executed, the absolute coordinates of A become (100,50), and the origin of
coordinate system is also changed to the right figure in Fig.2-5.
Note: Before the coordinate system is set by G50, the system must be without (with) tool offset
value, and the tool offset value must have been executed. T display on the panel can display
whether the current tool offset value exists, i.e., when the T offset number is displayed without the
highlight at the bottom right on the panel (such as the display is T0100), the tool offset value has
been executed, and the new coordinate system can be set by G50; when it is displayed with the
highlight, (the display is T0100), the tool offset value has not been executed, at the time, the
coordinate system is set correctly till the tool offset value has been executed, otherwise, the new
set coordinate value is less one tool offset value than the input value. Executing the tool offset
value is as follows:
(1) Executing tool change function. After the target tool is changed, the slide traverses to the middle of
two guides;
(2) The system is switched to “PROGRAM” window in MDI mode, G01 G98 U0 W0 F50 is input and the
CYCLE START is pressed; when the slide is traversing, the RESET stops. At the same time, the offset
number in T command is no more displayed reversely; the tool offset value has been executed.
