This manual is intended to improve your operation and programming of the MANUALplus 4110.
By way of examples, the setup of the lathe, the description and measurement of tools, and the
creation of cycle programs and ICP contours are explained step by step.
These examples were created with NC software 507 807-xx.

Axis directions and reference points

Axis directions

X axis: the cross slide is referred to as


the X axis. All X-axis values that are
displayed or entered are regarded as
diameters.

Z axis: the saddle is referred to as the


Z axis.
Traverse motions:

Program a positive value to depart


the workpiece.

Program a negative value to


approach the workpiece.

Reference points

The machine datum (M) is the origin


of the machine coordinate system. As
a rule, the machine datum is at the
intersection of the Z axis with the
spindle surface.

The workpiece datum (W) is the


origin of the workpiece coordinate
system. As a rule, the workpiece
datum is at the intersection of the Z
axis with the end surface.

HEIDENHAIN MANUALplus 4110 Basic Knowledge

1.1

Lathe design

Tool in front of or behind the workpiece


Depending on the design of the lathe, the tool is either in front of or behind the workpiece. The
MANUALplus 4110 detects the design of your machine, and takes the position of the X axis into
account for the graphic support, the simulation and the machining of the workpiece.

Tool in front of the workpiece

Tool behind the workpiece

This documentation assumes a lathe with tools in front of the workpiece.

HEIDENHAIN MANUALplus 4110 Basic Knowledge

1.2

The coordinate system

Two-dimensional coordinate system

The position of the tool tip is clearly


defined by its X and Z coordinates in a
two-dimensional coordinate system.

The MANUALplus 4110 recognizes


linear and circular contour
elements. A workpiece contour is
programmed by entering the
coordinates for a succession of points
and connecting them with linear or
circular contour elements.

The coordinates entered for the axes X


and Z are referenced to the
workpiece datum.

C axis

Angles entered for the C axis are


referenced to the datum of the C axis.

Accuracy
Positions can be programmed to an accuracy of 1 m (0.001 mm) or 0.001. This is also the
accuracy with which they are displayed.

HEIDENHAIN MANUALplus 4110 Basic Knowledge

1.3

Tool-tip radius compensation (TRC)

Programmed paths of traverse are


referenced to the theoretical tool tip
S. The radius of the tool tip on lathe
tools causes inaccuracies when
machining tapers, chamfers and radii.

These inaccuracies are removed with


the cutter radius compensation. A
new path of traverse (the equidistant
line) is calculated to compensate for
this error.

HEIDENHAIN MANUALplus 4110 Basic Knowledge

1.4

Feed rate and spindle speed

Feed rate
You select from the following methods:

Feed rate per revolution in mm/rev


The feed rate depends on the spindle speed. The tool is moved at the programmed value for
each spindle revolution.

Feed per minute in mm/min.


The feed rate is independent of the spindle speed. The tool constantly moves at the
programmed value.

Spindle speed
You select from the following methods:

Constant spindle speed


You program the spindle speed directly. The spindle speed is independent of the diameter the
tool is working on.

Constant cutting speed


You program the spindle speed indirectly. The MANUALplus 4110 changes the spindle speed
depending on the diameter momentarily being worked on by the tool. This results in a constant
cutting speed.
Example:

Constant spindle speed:


Sections 1 to 3: identical spindle
speeds

Constant cutting speed:


Section 1: High spindle speed
Section 2: Constantly decreasing
spindle speed

Section 3: Low spindle speed

Maximum speed (speed limitation):

If the constant spindle speed that you program is greater than the specified maximum
spindle speed, the maximum speed is valid.

For constant cutting speed the speed is limited by the defined maximum spindle
speed.

Switch-on and traversing the reference marks

Traversing the reference marks


For machines with standard encoders or distance-coded encoders a reference run must be made.
Reference runs are not necessary on machines with EnDat encoders.
Sequence for reference run:

On standard encoders: A fixed reference mark is traversed. This direction of approach must be
considered.

For distance-coded encoders: The MANUALplus 4110 finds the position after a brief reference
run. (There are reference marks every 20 to 80 mm.)

Traversing the reference marks:

Pre-position the axes with


handwheels or jog keys

key

Press the Z Reference soft


key

Types of simulation

The graphic simulation feature enables you to check the machining sequence, the proportioning
of cuts and the finished contour before actual machining. In the Teach-in mode, this function
simulates the execution of a single cyclein Program run mode it simulates a complete cycle
or DIN program.
The simulation supports the following views:

Wire frame graphics


The MANUALplus 4110 draws the traverse paths as lines. The theoretical tool tip is the
reference point. This view is well suited for showing machining passes.

Cutting path graphics


In this view the cutter geometry of the tool is taken into consideration. Here you can check if
material remains, or if the contour is damaged.

Machining simulation
The blank is displayed as a white surface which is machined during the simulation (erasing
graphics).
Tool tip: For the wire frame and cutting path graphics you specify whether the tool tip is to be
shown, or whether the theoretical tip should be represent by a dot of light.

Wire frame graphics: Without display of


the tool tip. The dot of light (small
rectangle) represents the theoretical tool
point.

Cutting path graphics: With display of


the tool tip.
