SWISS TYPE MACHINES CAN
HOLD 60% OF BAR STOCK TOL.
IE: If bar stock varies by .001

The part can vary as much as .0006
Bar stock considerations
Bar stock tolerance requirements will vary depending on the part tolerances you are trying to hold.
Example- if you have .0003 tolerance on a dia. or .0003 tir concentricity you will want to use ground stock.

PROGRAMMING
CODES
23
CITIZEN A32VII M-CODES
Note: Up to 4 M-codes can be commanded in a single block. It saves time to command as many M-codes as
possible in the same block. Some M-codes are macros and need to be alone on a single line.
See (macro) below.
M00- Program stop. Force the machine to stop. You can't re-start.
M0-
M01- Optional stop

M1- If the OPTIONAL STOP button is on (lit) the executing line $1 or $2 will stop until the CYCLE START
button is pressed again, then operation in that line starts running again. If the OPTIONAL STOP button is
not lit the M01 command is skipped.
M02- One cycle stop

M2- M2 will queue lines $1-$2 then stop execution of the program if in
ONE CYCLE MODE.
M03-
M3- Main spindle forward rotation "M3 S1=1000" If commanded wrong "M3 S1000"
without "S1=" then the main spindle is commanded by default.
10000 RPM max 200 RPM min
M04-
M4- Main spindle reverse rotation "M4 S1=500"
M05-
M5- Main spindle stop
M06-
M6- (macro) Collet close (main spindle) axis A1. Use it alone on the line
because it is a macro!
M6M3(M3 won't work)

M3M6(Will work but as a habit, use M6 alone.)
-If a CAV barloader is used the A7 axis synchronization is turned on inside of the M6 macro.
M07-
M7- (macro) Collet open (main spindle) axis A1. Use it alone on the line!
M7M5(M5 won't work)

M5M7(Will work but as a habit, use M7 alone.)

G4U.5(a dwell may be needed for some barloaders to change from sync to push)
-If a CAV barloader is used the A7 axis synchronization is turned off inside of the M6 macro.
M08-
M8- Short cut program. Used when using a bar loader. M8 shifts control of the BLOCK DELETE button to the
bar loader end of bar switch. This lets one section of a program, or a sub-program, run only if the end of
bar switch on the bar feeder is tripped.

Note: I used custom variables to have one program do all!
M108-(macro)
This has the same function as the B12 series machines.
Used when using a bar loader. If the loader sends a signal that the bar is done then the remnant is de-burred,
pulled out, and a new bar is loaded.
If the bar is still there then M108 is skipped.
The RPM and IPR are taken from the Mach Data for the cut-off operation.
M108 U.04 C.005 D.04 B.23 S1000 W1.5 F.02 A1. R1 t
-CDB are used only if de-burring the remnant before removing from GB.
U.04 = Amount above the stock size from the data page, to position before changing bars (diam value)
C.005 = Feed in IPR(mm/rev) for de-burring.
D.04 = Z axis movement for de-burring.
B.23 = X axis position to go to for de-burring.
S1000 = Spindle speed used while pulling out remnant.
W1.5 = Z axis amount of pull back from GB to remove remnant.
F.02 = Feed in IPR(mm/rev) for pulling out of GB.
A1. = Dwell after bar load before closing collet.
R1 = R1 or R0 If R1 then spindle runs during bar change.
T1 = Dwell time in seconds to allow the coolant to come on. If omitted 3 seconds is used.
25
-If any or all options are omitted then default values are used.
If all defaults are OK, you can use M108U W S F R1 alone on the line.

M9- Cancels M8. Returns control of the BLOCK DELETE to the BLOCK DELETE button. If using M8 then
put a M9 at the beginning of your program as a safety command if starting the program after a problem.
M10-(macro) Moves the knock-out pin forward to eject the part from the back spindle. If the back spindle is
running or the collet is closed M10 won't work. M10 moves the knock out by an air cylinder.
You can adjust the speed of knockout advance by the valve located on the front of the piston
M11-(macro) Moves knock-out pin reverse. Back in! M11 moves the knock out by an air cylinder. If the back
spindle is running or the collet is closed M11 won't work. You can adjust the speed of knockout
retract by the valve located on the BACK of the piston

M34-(macro) Series of commands needed for parts ejection from the P.O. spindle all in one command.
Collet open, parts catcher in/out, knock out forward, air ect. This can be commanded from $1 or $2 but
has two very different functions.
If M34 in $1 then dump the part from the catcher mounted on the sub spindle.
If M34 from $2 then eject the part from the sub spindle into the parts box. There are many command
options that can be used but usually just "M34" is all you need.
See the different command options below.
28
If M34 from $1 and the part is in the catcher basket by using M32 then ...
You must be in G600 mode. See M320. Also there can't be any "T3?00" in
the $2 program or M34 will function like in $2 and try to knock out a part.
M34 X W D U E Z F T S B
M34 -nothing else on line then catcher moves away and dumps the part.
X -X pos. to go to after collection. Normally not used.

W -After the part is caught then the catcher moves back to Z0 or the amount of W from Z0.
Used if Parts per 1/chucking is used to save time. Normally not used.
D -Feed rate for Z2 to move away from GB. IPM
U -Used to change the position of X2 at the dump position of ".156" . Normally don't use.
E -Feed rate for X2 to move to the dump position. IPM
Z -Move to Z position inside collection box.
F -Feed rate when moving into position inside collection box. IPM
T -Timer for rotation while back spindle is dumping the part.
S -Spindle speed while dumping the part. RPM
B -When finished dump, move Z2 to amount B from Z0.

M38-(CAV)Bar loader synchronization on and torque off. Only used with special Citizen CAV bar loader.
This will make the barfeed pusher, axis A7, mirror Z1.
We don't have to use this command, it is used internally in the M6-M7 commands.
M39-(CAV)Bar loader synchronization off and torque on. See M38. This will now hold position.
We don't have to use this command, it is used internally in the M6-M7 commands.
M46-(CAV) barloader torque set to 0%
M48-(macro) Back spindle "C" axis on. (only with "C2" axis option) References the "C" axis on the PO spindle
and goes to position specified. Only used if simple indexing in 1 deg increments and to enable the axis.

M88- Interference check OFF. DISABLES crash protection.(Shuts off!) NOT recommended!
Safety zones of all axis’ are turned off to work very close to the back spindle.
M89- Interference check ON. Enables crash protection. Default condition.
M92- Modal exact program stop. Used so corners are not rounded off while turning at high feed rates. This
gives small dwells to confirm corners. See also G9
M93- Exact stop cancel. Cancels M92
M94- Back spindle fluctuation detection ON- Checks extra load on the spindle. If too much load, then alarm.
M95- Back spindle fluctuation detection OFF (When power on is M94)

If you will use G96(CSFM) or G84(rigid tap) then you must first command M95.
M96- Main spindle fluctuation detection ON- Checks extra load on the spindle. If too much load, then alarm.
M97- Main spindle fluctuation detection OFF (When power on is M96)

If you will use G96(CSFM) or G84(rigid tap) then you must first command M97.
M98- Sub program call. If commanded "M98 P1111 L5" from line $1 of a main program then the line $1 of
sub program O1111 is looped 5 times. If "M98 P1111" is in line $2 of a main program then program line
$2 of program O1111 is looped only one time. When the sub is finished M99 returns to the line after the
M98 command in the main program. There is one other option to M98. "M98 H1" This command jumps
down in the programming line you are in to sequence number N1 and returns when M99 is commanded,
to one line after the "M98 H1" command. This is special to make the G999-N999 command easier.
Search G999- Also if you use sub programs a lot, this helps to only have one program number to
upload/download for your file storage system.

M350 -Rapid Feed Rate Setting

The A32 rapid traverse for all axis except X1 is 45-MPM or 1772-IPM,
this is extremely fast (fastest in the world!). The X1 rapid rate is 32-MPM or 1260-IPM.
Many customers and many parts are normal or have a tolerance of more than or near (+- .0005-.001"). So the
rapid rate is fine. But some customers desire to hold tighter tolerance and the thermal characteristics of the ball
screws running at the fast rapid rate could possibly make longer warm-up times. Short time cutting and many
tool changes could increase thermal growth. For these reasons we have the ability to program the NEW rapid
feed rate. We do not have data yet as when exactly this is needed or not, as all part processes are different and
more tool changes and less cutting vs low tool changes and long cutting creates totally different thermal
conditions.
If you have thermal issues, try this function. Also when used, the overall cycle time will increase but very
small amounts.

This is used for X1-Y1-Z1 only. The A32 rapid traverse for Y1-Z1 axis is 45-MPM or 1772-IPM, this is
extremely fast (fastest in the world!). The X1 rapid rate is 32-MPM or 1260-IPM.
Many customers and many parts are normal or have a tolerance of more than or near (+- .0005-.001").
So the rapid accel/decel rate is fine. But some customers desire to hold tighter tolerance and the thermal
characteristics of the ball screws running at the short time accel/decel could possibly make longer warmup
times. Short time cutting and many tool changes could increase thermal growth. For these reasons we have
the ability to program a change for the rapid accel/decal time constant. We do not have data yet as when
exactly this is needed or not as all part processes are different and more tool changes and less cutting vs low
tool changes and long cutting creates totally different thermal conditions. If you have thermal issues, try this

Circle Example...
When milling with or without cutter comp(G41/G42), the feed rate given is not true. To get a proper
feed rate you have to calculate using the radius desired and the tool radius. Cutting outside
corners are different then inside pockets. Use this formula...
Outside cutting:
DesiredFeed=10 IPM CutRadius=.125 ToolRadius=.1875
Feed=DesiredFeed * ((CutRadius+ToolRadius)/CutRadius)
Feed= 3 * ( .3125 / .125)
Feed= * 2.5
Feed=7.5

G09- G9 will make the axis stop after the program line. Used when no radius is allowed on an outside or inside
corner. G9 is a one shot g-code. See also M92.
G9 G1 Z.5
G10- Offset input from RS232C or program

The way Mitsubishi worked this one is much better than Fanuc. If you choose I/O OUTPUT function and
download "OFFSET" this will send a bunch of G10 and G11 commands to a file. This is all the
offsets in a special code. To send it back to the machine later just pick I/O "tool data" and INPUT, and
the offsets are loaded into the machine from the RS232.
G10 L11 P1 X.001 Z.005 R.002

(P=offset number)
You can also use G10 to set parameters. Please see the Mitsubishi manual for more details.
G12.1- Converts C axis degrees and X axis movement to work like a milling machine.
Program X-Y axis and the control converts all the commands to degrees automatically. X
and Y are programmed in radius values and zero is at the center of the part, like a milling machine.
Tool nose rad comp is also needed to use G12.1 correctly. Thinking about the direction for G2/G3 and
G41/G42 is backwards! You have to imagine you are back behind the guide bushing looking to the cutter.
If you can't do this, then just do everything opposite!
There are some new options while calling G12.1. We used to have to change parameters to use G12.1 #1125
Mill_AX and #1126 MillC , now we can set these while calling G12.1 . See also G16 below.
G12.1 (no arguments uses C commands same as G12.1 D1 E=C)
G12.1 D0 E=C
D0 -You can use "C" or "Y" as the virtual axis while in G12.1 The manual suggests using "D1" to use
"C" but I don't agree. If in G17 X-Y plane, then I suggest you use "D0" to use Y".
Your choice, it makes no difference which you use! If D is not on the G12.1 line then "C" is default.
Always have "D" first on the G12.1 line!
E=C -This will set the axis number of the system to use as the polar axis. This depends if you are using the
gang plate in $1 or the U121B option in $2 or $3. Setting E=C will set the proper axis
automatically. If you don't use E=C on the line then $1 C axis is default. For safety, always use E=C

G16 - Plane select Y-Z cylindrical machining. To use this plane you need the option of G12.1 milling
interpolation. G16 is used to convert polar C axis degrees to linear Y when machining "J" slots or cylindrical
cams. Most of these part prints are dimensioned with linear and radial values, not degrees. Also the prints
usually show the part cut and spread flat. Radii are hard to program and adjust without G16 and tool
nose radius comp. G41-G42. Programming would be linear "Z Y". The polar "C" axis is converted to a
linear "Y" axis. Another use of G16 is to chamfer a cross hole equally all the way around the hole.

Usually use the incremental command for each axis. "G28 U0 W0". You probably won't use G28 very often.
G32- Threading- G32 locks the feed-rate override at 100% and turns off the single block mode. Then G32
looks to find an exact spot on the spindle to start feeding. G32 is canceled by a G00 command. It's
uses are for multiple angle threads (bone screws, worm gears) or we commonly use G32 when we
tap a part with the main spindle, or the PO spindle. G32 won't work on the secondary spindles
because there is no encoder on S3 or S4.
If you are cutting a special OD thread always start G32 on a Z move. If you start G32 on an X move,
the spindle zero will pick up in a different Z position each time. Position "X" first then "G32 Z" or
keep the X distance from start to cut the same distance. To do this each start X will vary, calculated from
the current cut X position.
If you are 'continuous threading' or moving X and Z like a worm gear or bone screw thread, usually we set the
param Control #8053=8D to eliminate the issues of thread mis-match. Also don't use 'On Mach Prg Check'
while checking, cutting this kind of thread. Run it in auto cycle.
G32 can also adjust the spindle zero for double start threads.
G32 Q180000 = Q180.? 180. deg from spindle zero.

Z= Position to go to in Z
F= Feed rate in IPR
K.05= Amount of change in pitch per revolution. Can be growing pitch if plus value or reducing pitch if
minus value. First rev will be F.03 2nd rev is (.03+.05) 3rd rev is (.08+.05) and so on.

positive direction. There are 8 quadrants of the radius to be used.
1= Boring
3= Back turning
4= Front turn
8= Profile
0= Endmill
43
G42- Tool nose radius compensation RIGHT. Not used as often turning.
G42 could be used when traveling in a Z negative direction. See G41
Rules of tool nose radius compensation:

1) Turn compensation on and off in feed not rapid
2) If you turn compensation on during rapid stay at least one nose radius away from the part
3) Make sure compensation is fully loaded in both axes before cutting
4) Don’t change direction after compensation is turned on
5) Compensation reads six lines ahead so the line you alarm on might not be the problem

main spindle.
G44-Feed per revolution in $2 on S2. IPR and CSF is read off of the sub spindle. Used to single point thread
with the pick-off spindle, tap, or any IPR feeding needed to be done from the S2 spindle. This code is
unique to each side $1 and $2. Probably you will only use G44 in $2 because you normally don't need to

Z1. =Z position of the bottom of the hole
R.03 =Rapid from current Z position the R amount incrementally.

If starting at Z-.05 and R=.03 then the Z axis rapidly positions to "Z-.02" and after every peck Z
retracts to the same position "Z-.02". If you use "R-.03" it is the same as "R.03". Leave R out to start
from current Z position.
I.1 = Depth of FIRST infeed in a radial value
K.05 = Depth of SECOND and successive infeeds in a radial value.
A.01 = Drill STOP safety distance in radial value from last depth completed.
Q100 = Dwell length at the BOTTOM of the hole.
J200 = Dwell length at the RETURN position BEFORE re-entry.
F.001 =Feed in IPR or IPM
,F30= This was added! Now you can change the rapid moves to a feed if desired.

G80-Cancel G8? series codes.
G83- Peck drilling cycle. There are (2) parameters related to G83. Control Param #8125 "G83 Rapid" if ON
then the pecks do NOT come out of the hole, they only back up the amount of Setup1 Param "G83
Retract" to break the chip and then start feeding again.
Setup1 Param "G83 Retract .02" is the amount to rapid back into the hole from the last peck for clearance.
I suggest...

G814-(macro) Same as G114.1 but you don't need all the codes on the command line. You can use the R
command for phase shifting.
Citizen added this macro just to make it easier to use spindle sync.
See G114.1 and G113. You may save time by not using G814.
G814 even with no 'R' argument will internally use 'R0' and this
will force a phase shift for spindle sync, needing also to use M77.
To save time use G114.1 without the R value.

G114.2- Polygon machining command. There are many unique ways to use polygon machining.
Not just for hex or square shapes. Side slots, Phillips screw driver shapes and whatever else can benefit
from the live tool synchronized with the part while cutting. Use G113 to cancel.

G114.3- Gear hobbing command. With a special holder this command will
time the cutter(S3) and spindle(S1C1) to constantly hold position
so all we do is feed across the part as if we were turning and a
gear shape is cut. A "C" axis is also needed! Use G113 to cancel.
G114.3 H3 D-9 E1 L18 (P0) (Q1.)
H3 = Master spindle or S3(gang live tool)

Similar to G116 except G149 is smart and will calculate how long it will take to move to the desired
position and finish moving at the queuing point. G149 is
used in "M32 X.1" and will have Z2 and the catcher basket under the part when X=.1 . Z2 won't start
coming in at X.1 but will start sooner to be there when X gets to .1 . You also need to add special
line labels to mark the lines to end at. "BNxxx"

G156- Mirroring two axis. Used automatically in G610 to lock Y1 to X2 so the drills can't hit the turning tools
while using T2?00 stations.
You won't normally use G156. If you don't command the other axis, it just follows.
G156 Y1=X2 ON
G156 Y1 OFF
G156- Superimpose one axis onto another. G650/G620 uses G156 to make the Z2 axis follow Z1. You
normally
won't need G156. If you command the other axis, it follows but also move simultaneously.
See also -G620/G650
G156 Z2=Z1 turns on Also queue $1 and $2 before G156
G156 Z2 turns back off
G160- Axis torque sensing command.

This is used internally by Citizen for the auto collet adjusting and auto guide bushing adjustment.
Possible uses could be to check the Z2 torque while positioning over the part when picking off. If the
turning tool has failed and the size is big, the collet could jam on to the part! G160 will feed to the
desired position at the commanded feed but if the torque is reached the axis will stop short of the
commanded position. We can then use macro to determine where it stopped. G160 is a one shot code and
after G160 is done or if the torque was met, then 100% of torque is set back to the commanded axis. I
tested and I used G160 with a shank of a tool and checked the turned size of a part and had .0003"
repeating! Maybe this is not good for all jobs but could be used as part of an auto offset macro!
G160 will not work on a superimposed axis. So if you have a CAV, A7 is superimposed on Z1 and G160
can not be used on Z1. Instead just use Z2 for the motion if needed.(no problem)

G173 Y0 Z0 D5. or G173 X0 Z.5 D5.

G173 no arguments cancels the G173 command.

Y0 = Center of rotation position of Y
Z0 = Center of rotation position of Z
X0 = Center of rotation position of X
D5.= Angle of rotation.
Remember to use G173 again with no arguments to cancel.
G231- (macro)Pick-off cancel. This was added to save time during the ending of the program. G231 is used
after G650 and when done cutting off G231 will automatically cancel the G650 superimpose and send
the Z2 home, all in one command. You then don't need to end with G600's.
This can save 1-1.5 seconds on each cycle!
G231 X-.1 F.002 A-.02 Z?
X= Cut-off end position

F= IPR feed rate for cut-off
A-.02= When the cut-off is at "X" axis position -.1 then automatically bring the sub spindle Z2 away.
This will cancel the G650 “superimposition”.
Z1.= If you want Z2 to go to some position, not all the way back. It will position to the Z2 machine position
specified. Z1. is 1" from return position.

G600-CODES
G600's- The G600's commands are Citizen's way of making a very complex multi axis machine, very easy to
program.
These G600's commands are called mode selections. G600,G630,G650,G660.
All of these commands select each axis and make coordinate system settings in each of the two systems.
G650 enables superimposition between Z1 & Z2. This is the ability of one axis to follow (slave) another axis
but still be fully programmable. For example we can support the part WHILE it s being turned, cutoff, etc..
Because all the G600 modes are working with all the axis, the two systems are queued with each other by
commanding the code in both systems for the mode change.
There are also different arguments possible for each command that can change the axis movements as desired.
See each code and it's arguments below...
62
G600
Machining pattern cancel
G600 cancels the machining patterns G610 to G660. (Power-on state)

Also G600 is the default mode before the program starts and after the G999 command at the end of the
program.
G600 will queue with both lines $1-$2 then X1-Z1-Y1-C1 are now controlled from $1,and X2-Z2-C2 is
controlled from $2.
Also when in MDI, Mode G600 is in affect.

Spindle Synchronization control command (G814 R0);

When non-conforming material phase adjustment (G899) has been performed to control clamping location,
“G814 (G114.1H2D-2) R0” MUST always be specified.
If the “R” argument is not specified the orientation of angular phase is not matched.
You must also follow this command with M77 BEFORE clamping the second spindle onto the part to ensure
the spindles wait for completion of the “phase adjustment”.
Following these procedures will allow angular orientation to be consistent between the two spindles.
See G114.1 for an explanation of the arguments.
69
G899 - Phase adjustment. Used for hex stock and alignment of Main and sub spindles.
Put material through the Main spindle and into the Sub spindle.
Execute G899 R1 C1 from MDI. There is also a K1 that can be added to prevent the sub spindle from
closing.
G899 R1 = Phase S1 and S2.
G899 R1 K1= Phase S1 and S2 AND do NOT close sub spindle collet.
G899 R1 C1= Phase C1 and C2.
You need the option "G114.1" to use "G899 R1".(Standard option now)
After you have done this when your program calls
G114.1H1D-2R0(or G814)
M77
The spindle will sync together. You MUST use M77!
Common MDI process after manually moving Z2 over the special shaped work piece.

G899R1C1
*** NOTE: ***

G899 command is for adjustment.
Use this command in MDI mode ONLY. Should NOT be written in the part program.
70
G999- Finish last part.
Finishes the part in the P.O. spindle if you are running in SINGLE CYCLE MODE. While the machine is
running usually the work on the P.O. spindle is completed while the front of the part is also working. When the
counter is full or the bar stock is empty or, if we are in ONE CYCLE MODE, then we can finish the part by
using G999 and N999 in our program. If in regular CONTINUOUS CYCLE MODE then the CNC statements
between G999 and N999 are skipped but if in ONE CYCLE MODE or the counter is full or there are other
operator alarms then the CNC statements between G999 and N999 are read and performed. G999 has to be in
all programming lines $1 $2. If using G999 and at some time you want to turn off this function then turn off soft
key in auto mode "Lastprt" and the codes between G999 and N999 are always skipped no mater what
MODE your in. Mode G600 is in affect at the beginning of G999 by default. The code "M98 H_" does not work
for this command.

T-Tool selection
Each tool call will rapid to position point of the old tool and then to the position point of the new tool.
A four digit code is a tool call and a two digit code is an offset.
If you have arguments on the T-call line they have different meanings depending on which set of tools are
called.
The A20 also does a calculation when using the gang. It will take the largest diam. setting from the tool set
page and add this to each tool while indexing, then come down to the position point for the tool.
T100 tool call

T101 tool call with offset
T1 offset call
T0 cancel offset (** X## Z## T0; ; ** NOT alone, NOT followed by a modal command ***)
Special options T0100-T1000
T0200 X Y Z H Q1 K2 E
X. = Specify the workpiece coordinate of X1 axis after tool selection.

If the argument is omitted, the tool moves to “Position Point”.
Y. = Specify the workpiece coordinate of Y1 axis after tool selection.

If the argument is omitted, the tool moves to “Position Point”.
Z. = Specify the workpiece coordinate of Z axis after tool selection.

If the argument is omitted, the Z axis does NOT move.
(If “K2” argument is specified, the “Z2” axis is used. )
Q1 = Quick index. This will not move to safe position then index,
It will move from where it is to the new tool in a straight line. Be careful!
H. = Specify this argument to change “Position Point” temporarily. The machine will add this value to the
Stock Dia. According to to the Machining Data and move to next tool selection.
E. = Specify this argument to index the spindle to the specified angle. This argument is valid in the transition
from the turning to secondary machining process.
If used WITH the “K2” argument the BACK spindle will be indexed to specified angle.
K2 = can only be used in G600 and can be in $1 or $2
After the Tool is called, the Z2 axis is the commanded Z axis. Also the C2 axis is called up.
X1,Y1,Z2,C2 are commanded from either $1 or $2 depending where you called it from . The next
T__00 call changes it back. If a live the Z2 shift is automatically set to the center of the tool to the
part face. If a OD turn tool then the Z2 shift is automatically set to the LH(back) tool tip of the tool
(from MachData Tool Block) to the part face (5/8" or 3/4").

NOTE: Queing or wait commands are used when using the sub spindle to pick-off or for support. They
will stop the main spindle side or sub spindle side of the machine from moving until you want
them to. You need to have a cueing command in $1 and $2 that matches otherwise the machine
will hang up. Which ever $ sign gets to the cueing command first waits until the corresponding

G50Z (absolute setting) Example
G50- Coordinate system setting. Used to either set the position absolutely (x,y,z) to a known value, or to shift the position of an axis incrementally
(u,v,w) a specified amount. The axis doesn’t move but the position screen changes. It’s also used to clamp the spindle speed.
NOTE: G50Z____ is used in the beginning of the program to establish part zero (Z0). This is about the only time you will see a G50 with an absolute
command (x,z). What we normally do on this G50Z____ line for a RH CUT-OFF tool is use G50Z-.005 instead of G50Z0 for a .005 facing
allowance. This will set the coordinate system to Z-.005 instead of Z0. The cut-off tool should be in front of the stock (PIC #2). For a
LH CUT-OFF tool the stock is sticking out passed the Z0 plane. Looking at PIC #3 the stock is sticking out .400 (.500-.100, PIC #1). The G50Z
value would be the width of the tool shank (.500, PIC #1) minus the width of the insert (.100, PIC #1) minus .005 (facing allowance). In this
case the G50Z value would be .395 (G50Z.395). The cut-off tool should be in front of the stock (PIC #3).

Formulas
General Formulas:
1) SFM = Surface Feet per Minute
2) RPM = Revolutions per Minute
3)IPR = Inches per Revolution
4) IPM = Inches per Minute
1) SFM = RPM x DIA. (Tool or Part) / 3.82

2) RPM = SFM x 3.82 divided by DIA. (Tool or Part)
3) IPM(Drilling,Tapping ect.) = RPM x IPR
4) IPM(Milling) = RPM x IPR x Number of flutes.)
5) IPR = IPM divided by RPM

Define the Process (Process considerations)
A) DETERMINE WHAT IS THE FRONT OF THE PART
1) Is I.D. work required

a) Must be done before O.D. work
2) Is front work required
a) Turning is done in one pass due to guide bushing land width
b) If having to pull part back into G/B keep in mind the G/B land width
3) Is back turning required
4) Is cross milling or cross drilling required
5) Is there back end work required
6) Where is the tightest tolerance (front is more accurate)
7) Is a special guide bushing required
a) You can have extended land guide bushings made (up to .375 longer)
b) Do I need a meehinite instead of a carbide (Meehinite will help with scoring
problems but will wear out quicker)
8) Can cycle be reduced by using the sub spindle
B) SUB – SPINDLE WORK
1) Where do I hold the part at pick-off
2) Is a special collet required

a) extended nose collet ( For extremely short parts)
b) tapered collet
c) dead length shoulder
d) over-grip collet
e) key for orientation (picking off on non round dia.)
f) special shape collet
3) Will chips from machining process get into collet (if so high pressure coolant is
recommended to blast chips out of collet.)
4) How does part get ejected

SECONDARY MACHINING
During secondary machining we stop rotating the material and rotate the tool instead.
The Process:
Stop the main spindle (M5)
Engage the C axis (M18 or M28)
Start the rotary tools (M80, M81)
Switch to inch per minute feed (G98)
Turn on your tool shift (G50 W-.5905)
Execute secondary machining
Turn off your tool shift (G50 W.5905)
Stop the rotary tools (M82)
Disengage the C axis (M20)
Start the main spindle to continue turning (M3, M4)
Don’t forget to go back to inch per minute feed (G99)
115
Example: Milling two flats
T0808 ………………………….. Index tool 08 and call offset 08

G50 W-.59 ……………………. Turn on tool shift
M5 ……………………………… Stop the main spindle
M18 C0 ………………………… Index the C axis
M80 S3=2500 …………… Start the rotary tool
G0 Y-.52 Z.6875 ……………… Rapid to position in Y and Z
X.375 ………………………….. Rapid to position in X
G98 G1 Y .52 F8. ………………….. Feed across, inch per minute feed
G0 C180. (H180.) ……………. Index the C axis 180 degrees
G1 Y-.52 ……………………… Feed across
G0 X.56 T0 …………………… Rapid out and cancel the tool offset
M82 …………………………… Stop the rotary tools
M20 …………………………… Disengage the C axis
G50 W.59 …………………….. Turn off the tool shift
M3 S1=5000 G99 ……………. Start the main spindle and switch back to inch per
revolution feed
116
Example: Milling a key using circular interpolation and tool nose
radius compensation
T08 - 5/32” (.15625”)

DIAMETER ENDMILL
Process:
Mill across the front to remove some material (no TNRC) 1 - 2
Mill the key (with TNRC) 3 - 8
Remove the material behind the key (no TNRC) 9 - 12
Index and mill the ¼” flat (no TNRC) 13 - 15
117

Cross drilling through maximum stock diameter
Always be sure you have enough drill to drill through the stock diameter. Normally, we try not to
over extend the tooling so we have maximum rigidity. When setting the gang tools we try to have
no value in diameter.
With DIA at zero the drill extends about ½” from

collet
X axis over travels at X -.19 so a drill set at zero

can’t drill through maximum stock diameter.
To calculate the shift required for a .125” diameter

drill to drill through .75” first calculate the X position
the drill tip has to be programmed to break through
the stock OD and include the drill point. The drill
point is about 1/3 the drill diameter.
So, .125” x .3 = .0375” drill point. Double it because the X axis is in diameter .0375” x 2 = .075”
The X position to program to is stock diameter plus the drill point in diameter .75” + .075” = X-.825”
Calculate how far past over travel you need to go to reach this position .825” - .19” = .635”
So, the minimum shift to get this drill through .75” stock is .635”.
With this shift in DIA it is not necessary to program a tool shift, i.e. G50 U-.635. If you prefer to program
G50, after setting the tool the .635 in DIA would have to be deleted.

Machining Data
#1 Bar Stock O.D.- Stock size

#2 Tool Positioning Point (Dia.)- This is the tool index point (X1 axis) for the gang tools. The actual position
is the stock size plus this setting. In the view above all indexing would be
at .855.
#3 Cut-off Tool- This should always be tool #1
#4 Cut-off Speed- This rpm value is used when you do an automatic cut-off operation in the Prep mode.
#5 Cut-off Feed- This feed value is used when you do an automatic cut-off operation in the Prep mode.
#6 Cut-off End (Dia.)- This value is used when you do a automatic cut-off operation in the Prep mode.
In the view above the automatic cut-off would end at X-.05 (Physically .025
below center line)
#7 Machining Length- This is the amount of head stock stroke you need to complete one part.
(Calculation involved is Part Length + Cut-off Tool Shift + Face amount)
#8 Pieces /1Chuck- 99% of the time this would always remain a 1
#9 Tubing Bar Stock I.D.- If using solid bar stock this should always be a 0
#10 Back Chuck extend length- Length of EXTENDED NOSE COLLET, if using one.
#11 Back Work extend length- What you are doing here is telling the machine how much the part is
sticking out of the sub spindle after the pick-off is complete.
(Calculation involved is Part Length minus feed onto the part with the sub)
#12-14- 99% of the time you will not have to change these. This is the physical equipment mounted on the machine
139

Guide Bushing & Collets
Types of Guide Bushings:
1) Southwick & Meister- #TD32 (Phone no. 1-203-237-0000, Fax no. 1-203-634-4509)
2) KEB Industries, inc - # (Phone no. 1-866-394-4438, Fax no. 1-440-953-9209)
3) Hardinge (Phone no. 1-800-843-8801, Fax no. 1-607-734-3886)
Carbide- Steel bushing with a carbide pad surface. Generally used for round
Stock only. Has best wear life.
Steel- Always used rotating. Primarily used for hexes,squares, and special shapes.
Can be used for round stock, wear life is less than carbide.
Meehanite- Has less tendency to “pick-up” or weld to the barstock than carbide
and steel. When used stationary allows higher R.P.M without seizing.
When used rotating can run polished stock without scratching.
X.P. (Extra Precision)- Held to closer concentricity tolerances.
Extended Land- Will add up 3/8” of pad length.Used for special applications when you have
to pull back into G/B and std. length is not sufficient.
Bushing Insert- A meehanite bushing is pressed into the tail end. Used for special
applications and extra support and or pulling back into the G/B.
Used with ground stock .Bushing is ground a couple of tenths above stock
size.
146
Guide Bushing & Collets Con`t
Note: Collets for the main and sub spindle have the same number designation. The collets
come with a smooth bore up to .500. When ordering sub spindle collets
over .500 specify smooth bore.
1)Southwick & Meister- #TF37SP (Phone no. 1-203-237-0000, Fax no. 1-203-634-4509)
2) KEB Industries, inc - # (Phone no. 1-866-394-4438, Fax no. 1-440-953-9209)
3) Hardinge (Phone no. 1-800-843-8801, Fax no. 1-607-734-3886)
Types of Collets:
-
Hex, Square, Special shape These collets are made to the same tolerance as the
standard collets. The gripping surface rather than
being ground is put in with an E.D.M
Eccentric- Collets can be provided with the gripping surface offset to spindle
center line.
EXT.
Extended DIA.
Tappered Extended Nose Standard
You must specify tapered dia. and amount of extension when ordering. Used to pickoff extremely short pc`s
Overgrip- sometimes it is necessary to pass the sub-spindle collet over a large

diameter and close it on a smaller dia. A standard collet will only pass
over a diameter that is about .005 bigger than its normal size. An
overgrip collet is used to pass over a larger diameter difference.
There are many factors involved in determining the maximum
amount of overgrip, such as: nominal size, amount of land
permissible, stroke of collet sleeve and the nose diameter.Therefore ,
these collets are only sold upon review of application.Note concentricity is usually
poor. (Hardinge Phone no. 1-800-843-8801, Fax no. 1-607-734-3886)
X.P. (Extra Precision)- Held to closer concentricity tolerances.
Incline Slotted- Used for picking off on non round material with a round collet.
