General principles of G141
When milling a 3D surface, a given tool is moved along the surface in straight-line movements with a
particular tolerance.
The calculation of the tool path on a 3D surface requires many calculations that are usually carried out
by an NC programming system or a CAD system.
The calculated tool path depends on the shape of the tool, the dimensions of the tool and the
tolerance to the surface.
When executing the appropriate program without G141, the milling tool used must have the same
dimensions as in the calculations, i.e. a standard milling tool must be used.
If a new tool is required while machining a 3D surface, this tool must also have the same dimensions
as the standard tool.
If dimensional deviations are detected on the workpiece, a new calculation must be made using the
programming system.
The 3D tool correction (G141) allows the use of tools whose dimensions differ from the dimensions of
the standard milling tool. The corrections are carried out with the help of the direction vectors that are
created by the programming system together with the end point co-ordinates.
In addition, the workpiece dimensions can be calculated by the programming system and the tool path
by the CNC from the normalised vectors and the tool dimensions.
G141 3D TOOL CORRECTION WITH DYNAMIC TCPM
20010321 MillPlus V420-V500 13
_
N = surface normal vector (I, J, K)
Notes and application
The values of R.. and R1=.. should correspond to the nominal tool dimensions as used by the
programming system for calculating the tool path. If these values are not programmed, they
automatically become zero.
RADIUS (R, R1=)
R defines the tool radius with which the end points of the G0/G1 blocks are calculated in the
CAD system.
R1= defines the tool corner radius with which the end points of the G0/G1 blocks are
calculated in the CAD system.
General principles of TCPM
Maintaining position of tool tip when positioning swinging axes (TCPM)
(TCPM stands for "Tool Centre Point Management").
With G141 ‘3D tool correction without TCPM’, a curved (CAD) surface can be travelled taking the
current tool dimensions into account. In this case, the path is described by end point co-ordinates and
vectors perpendicular to the surface. The G141 function only guides the three linear axes but not the
circular axes. In this way, the tool is always used in the same direction and is not guided over the
workpiece surface at the optimum angle.
With G8 ‘Tool orientation’ (static TCPM), the tool can be placed on the surface of the workpiece at
an optimum angle. The G8 function is a feed movement and cannot be used continuously on a curved
surface during a path movement.
In the case of G141 with dynamic TCPM, the tool is guided on a curved workpiece surface at an
optimum angle. The current workpiece dimensions are taken into account. Dynamic TCPM is used for
G141 3D TOOL CORRECTION WITH DYNAMIC TCPM
14 Heidenhain 20010321
5-axis milling. Dynamic TCPM also controls the circular axes. The tool is guided on the curved
workpiece surface either vertically or at a programmed orientation.
_
N = surface normal vector (I, J, K)
_
O = tool vector (I1=, J1=, K1=) or (A, B, C)
The programming format of the linear blocks within G141 is expanded to include the option of
programming a tool vector. Possible combinations are surface normal vectors and/or tool vectors. If
only the tool vector is used, the tool correction must be calculated in the CAD system.
G7 may be active. In this case, the surface normal vectors and the tool vectors are defined in the G7
level.
Notes and application
ADDRESSES (R, R1=, L2=) (TCPM)
R defines the tool radius with which the end points of the G0/G1 blocks are calculated in the
CAD system.
R1= defines the tool corner radius with which the end points of the G0/G1 blocks are
calculated in the CAD system.
L2= 0 Circular axes travel the shortest distance (basic setting)
1 Circular axes travel to their absolute position (with circular axis programming).
G141 3D TOOL CORRECTION WITH DYNAMIC TCPM
20010321 MillPlus V420-V500 15
POSSIBLE TOOLS
Tools used for the G141 function
TOOL MEMORY
The following dimensional details must be loaded into the tool memory to enable different
types of tools to be used:
Radius milling tool : R (tool radius), L (tool length), C (=tool radius)
Radius end milling tool : R (tool radius), L (tool length), C (=rounding radius)
End milling tool : R (tool radius), L (tool length), C0
If no value of C is entered, C automatically becomes 0.
The standard milling tool is thus an end milling tool.
Note: The rounding radius in the G141 block is programmed with the word R1=. The rounding
radius is stored in the tool memory with the C word.
CREATED TOOL PATH
When the programming system creates the tool path (surface normal vector is programmed),
the dimensions of the nominal tool (R.. and R1=) are programmed in the G141 block. The tool
dimensions stored in the tool memory are used by the CNC to correct the tool path.
WORKPIECE DIMENSIONS
When the programming system creates the workpiece dimensions (surface normal vector and
tool vector are programmed), the R.. and R1= words are not programmed in the G141 block.
The tool dimensions stored in the tool memory are used by the CNC to calculate the tool
path.
ACTIVATING G141
In the first block after G141, the milling tool travels from the current tool position to the
corrected position in this block.
END POINT CO-ORDINATES
Only absolute or incremental (X, X90, X91) Cartesian dimensional data can be used.
Up to V420, the co-ordinates in the first G141 block must be absolute and are measured from
the programming zero point W.
G141 3D TOOL CORRECTION WITH DYNAMIC TCPM
16 Heidenhain 20010321
MIRRORING
If the mirroring function (G73 and axis co-ordinates) is active before G141 is activated, the
mirrored co-ordinates are used during the 3D tool correction.
Mirroring is possible as before once G141 is activated. Mirroring is cancelled by the G73
function.
RADIUS CORRECTION G41...G44
After activating a G141 block, the effective radius correction programmed with G41...G44 is
deleted.
SURFACE NORMAL VECTOR (I, J, K) (TCPM)
Defines the surface normal vector perpendicular to the surface.
The surface normal vector is perpendicular to the workpiece surface. The tool is positioned so
that this vector always passes through the centre point of the tool corner rounding. This vector
controls the positioning of the linear axes within G141.
VECTOR COMPONENTS
The vector components of the axes are independent of the level selected.
If no vector components are programmed in a block, the values last programmed are used.
If no components are programmed in the first block, the components not programmed are set
at zero.
DIMENSION FACTOR
The input format of the vectors (I, J, K, I1=, J1=, K1= words) is limited to three decimal places.
The surface normal and tool vectors do not, however, have to have the length 1. To increase
the dimensional accuracy, the values in question can be multiplied by a dimension factor
between 1 and 1000. With the factor 1000, for example, the input accuracy of the vector
components is increased to six significant figures.
BACK CUTTING
Back cutting or collisions between tool and material at points not to be machined are not
detected by the CNC.
G141 3D TOOL CORRECTION WITH DYNAMIC TCPM
20010321 MillPlus V420-V500 17
KINEMATIC MODEL (TCPM)
The kinematic model is used for calculations within G141.
If no kinematic model is active (MC312 ‘Free machining level’ = 0), G141 remains compatible
with the G141 functions in older CNC versions.
TOOL VECTOR (TCPM)
I1=, J1=, K1= axis components of tool vector
or
A, B, C circular axis components of tool vector
The tool vector or the circular axis co-ordinates indicate the direction of the tool axis. The tool
is turned so that it is parallel to this vector. This vector controls the positioning of the circular
axes (and the associated compensation movement with linear axes) within G141.
DELETING
Function G141 is deleted by G40, M30, the program interrupt softkey or the CNC reset
softkey. The milling tool stops at the last corrected position. The circular axes are not turned
back automatically.
FUNCTIONS TO BE DELETED
When working with G141, functions G64, scale change (G73 A4=..), axis rotation (G92/G93
B4=..) and G182 must be deleted.
The following G functions are permitted if G141 (TCPM) is switched on:
Basic motions 0, 1, 7
Levels 17, 18
Program control 14, 22, 23, 29
Positioning feed 4, 25, 26, 27, 28, 94, 95, 96, 97

G141 3D TOOL CORRECTION WITH DYNAMIC TCPM
18 Heidenhain 20010321
Notes and application for TCPM
RISK OF COLLISION
When G141 is switched on, compensation movements similar to those in G8 may occur.
In the case of the switch-on movement, the tool tip must not be resting on the surface of the
workpiece and should be programmed with a distance from the material at least equal to the
tool diameter.
Remark: If G141 is switched off via G40, M30 or program cancel, there is no
compensation movement and the circular axes remain in their last positions.
When approaching the contour, it may happen that the table with the workpiece is turned
through 180 degrees to achieve the programmed tool direction. ATTENTION! RISK OF
COLLISION!
UNDERCUTTING
If the tool direction changes within a G1 block, this tool direction change is carried out
interpolating with the movement to the end point. In doing this, the path between the start
and end points is corrected for undercutting.
Undercutting is not detected during block transitions. This undercutting should be corrected
by inserting a block without an end point and with only one change of the tool vector by the
CAD system. In this case, the tool turns about the tool contact point until the new tool
direction is reached.
DISPLAY
When G141 is active, a yellow icon is displayed behind the tool number and the programmed
G141 tool vectors (I1, J1, K1) can be seen in the machining status (on the G7/G8 positions).
Remark: If G7 and G141 are active at the same time, the G7 angle or vector can be
seen.
A small ‘p’ at the bottom right, near the ‘axis letters’, shows whether the position of the tool
contact point or the position is in machine co-ordinates. The display changes with the same
softkey as with G7.
FEED RATE
The programmed feed rate applies to the contact point between the surface and the tool. The
tool head may make other movements.
ERROR MESSAGES
P341 Tool vector incorrect
The tool vector (I1=, J1=, K1=) is incorrect. This error message is generated if all the
components of the vector are zero.
P342 Surface normal vector incorrect
The surface normal vector (I, J, K) is incorrect. This error message is generated if all
the components of the vector are zero.

20010321 MillPlus V420-V500 21
5.2 G600 laser system: Calibration
{I1=..}
DETERMINING CONCENTRICITY ERROR (I1=)
Use address I1 to specify whether the concentricity error is to be measured and saved in the
tool table against the calibration tool. It is recommended that the concentricity error should be
determined once using a clean calibration stylus.
I1= 0 Do not determine concentricity error (basic setting)
1 Determine the concentricity error
The radial concentricity error is written to the tool memory under R4=.
The axial concentricity error is written to the tool memory under L4= and the length L is
reduced by the L4 value. The sum L+L4 remains constant.
CALIBRATION STYLUS, TOOL MEMORY ADDRESSES
The concentricity errors R4 and L4 of the calibration stylus are written to the tool memory by
the calibration cycle.
R4= Radial concentricity error of calibration stylus.
L4= Axial concentricity error of calibration stylus.
TOOL MEASUREMENT CYCLES FOR LASER MEASUREMENTS
22 Heidenhain 20010321
POSITION OF MEASURING UNIT
When determining the position of the measuring unit for the calibration, the centre of the
bottom edge of the pin (dimension L) must be set in the light beam (+/- 5 mm).
- The free machining plane G7 and axis rotation G92/G93 B4 must not be active
SPEED
Coolant will be thrown off by clockwise-anticlockwise-clockwise rotation.
The spindle is switched off with M5 at the end of the cycle.
Example
Example: calibration of laser measuring unit, determining concentricity error.
N... G600 X300 Y500 Z600 I1=1 S3000
Concentricity errors L4 and R4 are saved in the tool table, length is matched (I1=1).

5.3 G601 laser system: Measuring length
{I1=}
SELECTING THE TOOL EDGE (I1=)
The lower edge or the upper edge of the tool can be measured.
I1= 0 measure lower edge (basic setting)
1 measure upper edge
SPEED
If the spindle is not first switched off (M5 or M19), then:
- Coolant will be thrown off by clockwise-anticlockwise-clockwise rotation.
- The spindle is switched off with M5 at the end of the cycle.
If the spindle is already switched off (M3 or M4), change of direction or spindle stop does not
occur at the end of the cycle
TOOL MEMORY ADDRESSES
R6= Radius position for measuring length.
LENGTH MEASUREMENT
- If the tool radius is greater than MC373 and R6 is not programmed, the length is
measured eccentrically.
- If R6 is programmed and R-R6 > MC373, an error message is issued

5.4 G602 laser system: Measuring length and radius
{I1=..} {I2=..}
SELECTING THE TOOL EDGE (I1=)
The lower edge or the upper edge of the tool can be measured.
I1= 0 measure lower edge (basic setting)
1 measure upper edge
SELECTING MEASUREMENT OF ONE OR BOTH EDGES (I2=)
One or both edges of the tool can be measured.
I2= 0 measure one side (basic setting)
1 measure both sides
When measuring both edges, temperature errors and tool obliquity have no influence on the
measured radius.
SPEED
If the spindle is not first switched off (M5 or M19), then:
- Coolant will be thrown off by clockwise-anticlockwise-clockwise rotation.
- The spindle is switched off with M5 at the end of the cycle.
If the spindle is already switched off (M3 or M4), change of direction or spindle stop does not
occur at the end of the cycle
LENGTH MEASUREMENT
- If the tool radius is greater than MC373 and R6 is not programmed, the length is
measured eccentrically.
- If R6 is programmed and R-R6 > MC373, an error message is issued.
RADIUS MEASUREMENT
If L6 is greater than MC372, an error message is issued.

TOOL MEASUREMENT CYCLES FOR LASER MEASUREMENTS
24 Heidenhain 20010321
5.6 G604 laser system: Tool breakage monitoring
{I1=..}
MEASURING DIRECTION (I1=)
The measuring direction can be pushing or pulling.
I1= 0 pulling (basic setting)
1 pushing
The fast pulling measurement is preferred, but tools with pronounced concave grinding must
be measured pushing, as otherwise the hollow grinding will be detected as a break.
ERROR EVALUATION (I2=)
If a break is detected, various actions can follow:
I2= 0 error message or reject pallet (basic setting)
1 no error message
If I2=0 is selected, function M105 (tool break detected) is issued in the case of tool breakage.
The IPLC switches the laser off and the controller issues an error message.
If, however, a pallet system is present, the pallet is rejected if possible, the current program is
interrupted and a new pallet is brought in.
If I2=1 is selected, no error message is issued on tool breakage. Every action must be
programmed in the part program. To achieve this, the tool status (value E from the tool
memory) can be written directly to an E parameter. See address O1.
TOOL STATUS OUTPUT TO E PARAMETER (O1=)
The tool status (definition E in the tool memory) is written to the specified E parameter. Based
on this parameter, the program can determine whether a tool breakage has been detected
(status –4). This is only meaningful if the error message has been switched off with I2=1.
SPEED
If the spindle is not first switched off (M5 or M19), then:
- Spindle is switched on clockwise (M3).
- The spindle is switched off with M5 at the end of the cycle.
If the spindle is already switched off (M3 or M4), spindle stop does not occur at the end of the
cycle.
TOOL STATUS
The basic setting for tolerance B is entered in MC33. Only 1 or 2 mm is possible. The setting
of MC133 is in mm even in inches mode.
BREAKAGE MEASUREMENT
If the tool radius is greater than MC373 and R6 is not programmed, the length is measured
eccentrically.
If R6 is programmed and R-R6 > MC373, an error message is issued

PROGRAMMABLE KINEMATIC ELEMENT NUMBER
Defines the number of the programmable element of the kinematic model to be written. The
value lies between 1 and 10.
NOTATION
“Incremental” notation (basic setting) means that the programmed value is added to the
existing value.
“Absolute” notation means that the existing value is overwritten by the programmed value.
The programmed values remain in the kinematic model and are not reset following M30,
<Cancel program> or <Reset CNC>.
Example: Write a programmable kinematic element.
A circular table is defined in the kinematic model. This circular table is defined by two
kinematic elements for each X axis. The first is defined by the machine builder and

6.10 Formatted write functions
Previously, only write functions to the internal memory were possible.
Using the formatted write function, it is now possible:
- to write to the screen
- to write to the file on the hard disc
- to fill an array
- to read a number from an array.
Configuration file
Configuration files are required for these actions to describe how and where to write or read.
These configuration files are saved on the hard disk and are read when the system is started.
Two configuration files are possible.
1) File to define an array and fill it with basic settings.
ARRnnnnn.CFG
nnnnn is the file number from 1 to 99999.
2) File to define a print file.
D:\STARTUP|CYCLES\FORMnnnn.CFG.
nnnn is the file number from 1 to 9999.
6.10.1 File to define an array and fill it with basic settings.
An array is defined with a configuration file. This is activated when the system is started.
A maximum of 10 arrays can be defined. End users can define files themselves.
The maximum array size is 5000 elements.
An element can be read from the array with arrayread(nnnnn, row, column).
If an element is read that does not exist, the value 999999999 is returned.
Description of array configuration file:
;Comments start with ';'
;
;Sections:
;[element] defines an element in the array
;row = row number where row number = [1|...|9999]
;col = column number where column number = [1|...|9999]
; row * column <= 5000
;val = value where value = real number (double)
;
Example: Array configuration file:
ARRnnnnn.CFG
[element]
row = 1
col = 1
val = 0 ; element (1,1).=.0
[element]
row = 3
col = 66

[element]
row = 9999 ;maximum row size
col = 9999
val = -123456789.123456789
E parameter array
Several arrays can be filled using a configuration file. These arrays can be read with E parameters
during execution. For unbalance detection, the calibration curves are read and interpolated in this

manner.
arrayread (arraynumber, row, column)
Where: arraynumber is the number of the array Every array has its own configuration file.
Arraynumber between 1 and 89999.
Row is the row number in the array that is to be read. Row between 1 and
999999.
Column is the position in the row of the array that is to be read. Column between 1
and 999999.
Fixed arrays can be read with the arrayread function. The arrays are filled from a configuration file
D:\STARTUP\CYCLES\ARRnnnnn.CFG).
Empty ‘elements’ in the array have the value <–999999999>.
Example arrayread
E300 = arrayread(100,1,2)
E300 has the value of array 100, row 1, column 2.

7. Turning
7.1 Introduction
The turning mode has been developed for machines with a C axis that can turn continuously. In this
way, turning operations can be carried out on a milling machine.
The C axis can be switched to turning mode. The C axis is then programmed as a turning spindle via
S1= and M1=. The turning tools are mounted in the milling spindle and clamped at the desired
orientation.
In special cases, the milling spindle can be programmed parallel to the turning spindle via S and M. A
second milling spindle is not possible on machines with turning mode.
Notes and application
AVAILABILITY
Machine and CNC must be prepared for turning mode by the machine builder. If your
machine is not equipped with all the G functions described here, please refer to your machine
manual.
GRAPHICS
The graphic is not displayed symmetrically to the rotation.
DISPLAY
If G36 is active, the display of the C axis position changes to display S1=.
The machining status is expanded with G36/G37.
The spindle power display shows the power of the second spindle even if both spindles are
active.
REFERENCE POINT
When the controller runs up, it is always in milling mode G37. The C axis can only be
switched to turning mode after the reference points have been approached.
ZERO POINT
In turning mode, the workpiece zero point in X should lie in the centre of rotation of the S1
axis. It is recommended that the workpiece zero point in Y should also lie in the centre of
rotation of the S1 axis.
SPINDLE OVERRIDE
Spindle override is effective for both spindles in turning mode (G36).

MC 450 Balancing: measurement axis (1=X, 2=Y, 3=Z)
This MC determines the axis on which the rotary table is installed. Unbalance is
easiest to measure in this axis. Normally, 2 = Y axis
The MC is used in the ‘unbalance calibration’ (installation), G691 ‘unbalance
detection’ and G692 ‘unbalance checking’ cycles.
MC 451 Balancing: maximum amplitude [µm]
This MC specifies the permissible residual amplitude in the measuring axis. The
measurement is cancelled if the measured amplitude is greater than MC451 at a
particular speed. Normally 5 [µm].
The MC is used in the ‘unbalance calibration’ (installation), G691 ‘unbalance
detection’ and G692 ‘unbalance checking’ cycles. The C1 parameter can be
superimposed on this in the G691 and G692 cycles.
MC 452 Balancing: initial radial position [µm]
This MC specifies the radial position (distance from centre point) of the rotary table
(S1 axis) at which a balancing mass is normally mounted to compensate for
unbalance.
The MC is used in the G691 ‘unbalance detection’ cycle.
MC 453 Balancing: rotary table displacement [mGrad]
This MC specifies the 0 position of the rotary table and the position (door) where
the operator fits the mass to compensate (and calibrate) the unbalance.
The MC is used in the ‘unbalance calibration’ (installation) and G691 ‘unbalance
detection’ cycles.

Notes and application
G36
The CNC switches the C axis to turning mode.
In turning mode, the circular axis is programmed as a second spindle using S1= and M1=. C
parameters can no longer be programmed.
The display of C (setpoint and actual value) on the screen is switched to S1. If the turning
spindle is stationary, the position (0-359.999 degrees) is displayed.
G95 is active, assigned to the second spindle.
All G functions can be programmed, but not all the G functions are meaningful. For instance,
a pocket has no meaning in turning mode. The C parameters and certain other parameters
can no longer be programmed in certain G functions.
The effect of G36 remains active until it is cancelled by G37, runup or <CNC reset>. G36 is
not cancelled by M30 or <Cancel program>.
G37
The CNC switches the C axis on again.
If the rotary spindle is still turning at the start of G37, it is first stopped.
The position of the circular axis is displayed on the screen with a value between 0 and
359.999 degrees.

7.7 Defining turning tools in the tool table
Tool correction and orientation
The tool dimensions are stored as tool length L, tool radius R and tool corner radius C. The
tool radius correction refers to the corner radius C and the necessary tool orientation is
entered in address O in the tool memory.
Tool memory
The turning tools can be placed in any position in the tool magazine. The tool is marked as a
turning tool by parameter Q3= ‘tool type’. This also locks the spindle.
Q3= ‘tool type’ = 8xx turning tool.
Q3 is taken into account by the PLC. Please see the machine manual for further information.
Tool dimensions for turning tools.
If turning mode is active (or in general, when the main plane is parallel to the tool axis), the
radius R is regarded as a displacement. The radius correction is also calculated in this
case using the tool corner radius C and the orientation O. If the orientation is in the
negative direction, the tool radius is also calculated as a negative displacement.
The orientation must be defined in the tool memory for G17 Y1=1 Z1=2 (vertical operation).
The controller adapts the active orientation when G18 Y1=1 Z1=2 (horizontal operation) is
activated.

USE
The G302 function should be used if. for example, the main spindle has been turned
through 180 degrees with M19 D90. In this case, the orientation is mirrored compared with
the status with M19 D90. The orientation should also be mirrored when turning takes place

7.9 Unbalance cycles
7.9.1 General information
To machine workpieces to be turned on an FP machine, both the machine (rotary table) and
workpiece must be balanced, otherwise the life of the machine, the quality of the workpiece or even
the safety of the operator cannot be guaranteed.
First, the unbalance properties of the rotary table must be determined. Usually, this unbalance
calibration takes place when the machine is handed over or during servicing.
To determine the unbalance of the clamped workpiece, a new cycle has been introduced: G691
unbalance detection.
This cycle can be called up directly in manual mode under the FST menu.
The result is a suggestion for compensating for the measured unbalance: what mass should be
attached at what radial position from the turning centre. The rotary table is automatically turned to
the position where the mass should be attached.
The radial position for an available compensating mass can be calculated in the dialog window. The
relationship between mass and position are shown graphically.
To ensure that no turning operations take place in automatic mode with too great an unbalance, a
new G function can be called in the program: G692 unbalance check.
This G function checks the unbalance present against the permissible unbalance. If this is
exceeded, an error message is issued, following which the operator can cancel the automatic mode
and carry out a new unbalance detection with correction in manual mode.
7.9.2 Description of unbalance
When working in turning mode, centrifugal forces occur if the clamped part (e.g. a pump housing)
has an unbalance. This influences concentric accuracy because the second spindle (= circular axis
C) is configured on the Y axis.
Unbalance U = m . R
where:
m = mass [g]
R = distance form centre of mass to centre of table [mm]
The unbalance is given in [gmm} (grammes*mm). This means that 500 [grammes] at 300 [mm]
(=150000 [gmm]) has the same effect as 1000 [grammes] at 150 [mm].
The centrifugal force is proportional to the unbalance and rises quadratically with rising speed.
Centrifugal force Fc = m . R : 1000000 . (S . 2 . PI : 60) ^ 2
where:
Fc = centrifugal force [N]
m = mass [g]
R = distance form centre of mass to centre of table [mm]
S = speed [rpm]
The unbalance must be compensated by a balance weight. For this purpose, the available
measuring systems of the circular axis C and the linear axis Y are used to detect the unbalance that
exists.

Notes and application
When detecting unbalance, the position error of the linear axis is measured with rising speed. The
speed is increased in steps of 25 rpm. When the position error has reached the maximum value
(MC451) or the maximum speed has been reached, the measurement is terminated. The unbalance
is calculated from the measured error and the stored calibration data.
The unbalance (gmm) and compensation position (degrees) are displayed. This position is
approached at the end of the cycle.
Example: Balancing a workpiece
G691 D500
Explanation:
1 Start balancing cycle with maximum speed of 500 rpm.
2 Unbalance is measured. Calculated mass and radial position (distance and angle) are
shown in the window. The balance position is automatically positioned.
3 Enter the weight of an available mass in the window.
4 The CNC displays the new radial distance for the available mass.

must be very small. If necessary, balance again with the displayed mass.
Representation of measurement results
Once the unbalance detection measurement is terminated, the measurement results are displayed
instead of the input and support fields. This image is created by G350.
Left:
The relationship between mass and position are shown graphically.
Top right:
The measured unbalance causes a deflection at the speed displayed. This unbalance can be
compensated in accordance with the balancing suggestion.
Bottom right:
The radial position for a selected mass is calculated in the dialog window. The calculation takes
place after pressing the <ENTER> key. The START key terminates the cycle and closes this
window.
In automatic mode, the left graphical window is not shown so that the program pointer remains
visible.

This cycle checks that the unbalance does not exceed a particular value. It should be called at the
start of every turning operation to ensure that the concentric error does not exceed the desired
tolerance or the specified limit.

Notes and application
When checking unbalance, the deflection of the linear axis is measured at a specified speed. If the
deflection reaches the value C1=, an error message is issued.
Example: Checking unbalance.
G692 C1=0.003 D500
Explanation:
The CNC detects whether the deflection of the table is within the limit of 0.003 mm at a speed of
500 rpm. If the deflection is greater than the value entered (C1=), the program is stopped.

AVAILABILITY
Machine and CNC must be prepared for turning operations by the machine builder. If your
machine is not equipped with all the G functions described here, please refer to your machine
manual.
The tuning cycles are executed as macros, every block can be seen in the display and each
block is processed as a single block.
General notes and application
STARTING POINT
The starting point determines the place where the tool starts machining. The cutting steps
start from this position. If the tool is a long distance away, several cutting steps take place. If
the tool is between Y1= and Y2=, cutting will start there and the cutting may not all be carried
out.
If the co-ordinate of the starting point Y is smaller than the co-ordinate of the machining
starting point Y1, the machine first travels to co-ordinate Z1.
TOOL MEMORY ADDRESSES
The following addresses are used in the tool memory:
C Tool tip radius
O Tool orientation
If no O is entered in the tool memory, a standard orientation is assumed depending on the
machining.
RADIUS COMPENSATION
Tool tip radius compensation is carried out automatically in this G function.

1. Introduction
These instructions are intended to assist you in operating and programming the controller.
Please read the information in this manual carefully before you start your new machine. It contains
important information on machine operation and safety to enable you to use your machine safely and
effectively.
The following advice is important for your safety:
This manual is essential for safe use of the machine.
Please ensure that it is in the vicinity of the machine.
The machine should not be operated, even for a short period, by anyone who has not received suitable
training, either in the company, at an Institute of Further Education or in one of the Training Centres.
Please read the general safety regulations issued by your professional association.
If they are not on display in the company, contact your appointed safety representative.
Observe the instructions for proper use of the machine.
The controller and the machine are coordinated using machine constants. Some of these constants are
accessible to the user. Caution!
The meaning and function of the constants must be fully understood before any changes are made to
these constants. If in doubt, please consult our service department.
The controller is fitted with a backup battery that safeguards the memory content for up to three years
after the machine is switched off (but only if the battery is serviceable).
The user should always save the programs and specific data (e.g. technology data, machine constants,
etc.) to a PC or to diskette. This will avoid the data becoming irrecoverably lost if the system or backup
battery becomes defective.
We reserve the right to make changes to the design, equipment and accessories in the interest of
further development. No liability will be accepted for any errors in the data, illustrations or descriptions.
1.1 MillPlus software and functions
This manual describes functions available in MillPlus (VME and LE4xx hardware) for the following or
higher software versions:
- V410 (VME, LE4xx) Software number 341 482-xx
- V420 (VME, LE4xx) Software number 344 198-xx
The machine builder adapts the versatile capability of MillPlus to the machine in question by means of
machine parameters. That is why some functions described in this manual are not available with every
version of MillPlus.
MillPlus functions that are not available on every machine include, for example:
- Digitising option
- Tool measurement with laser system or with TT120/TT130
- DNC Plus (DNET) interface
- Ethernet interface (TCP/IP)
- Autostart (warm machine startup program)
- Milling/turning
Please contact the machine builder for individual support for the particular machine being controlled.

A hierarchical directory structure is present on the hard disk supplied. The structure looks like this:
\─┬──── STARTUP
└──── WORK
└──── TEMP
The technology tables and subprograms in the startup directory are loaded into the CNC DRAM when
the CNC is initialised.
Executing a faulty program can lead to dangerous situations.
In the Automatic and Edit operating modes, the programs are always selected from the harddisk. The
directory can be changed in the modes of operation.
Selected programs are loaded into the working memory (DRAM).
Notes
- If a faulty file is found during loading, loading is stopped.
- Programs are checked as they are loaded. If an error occurs during loading, an error message (in
brackets) is appended to the relevant program block.
Example: N.. G301 (O... "Original block contents incorrect")
- The startup directory contains the technology tables and the IPP setup macro. We recommend not
to store other programs in the startup directory. The only exceptions are e.g. subprograms which
are invoked in several main programs.
- During copying, renaming or loading, the program number in the first program block is adapted to
the file name, provided the name of the file matches a valid program number.

this calculated time to allow for braking and accelerating in the corners. During programmes at high
rates of advance the estimated run time is less than the actual run time, because the machine cannot

12.11 Autostart
The machine should be at operating temperature before machining the first workpiece each morning.
The machine is run up to operating temperature by starting a running in program that, for example,
lets the spindle rotate for a while. This running in program should be started automatically some time
before starting work.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that the machine is in the correct operating mode when
the <Autostart> is issued. It can happen, for example, that the operator is running a
program in single block mode at the same time that the Autostart issues a <Start>. In
such a case the active block will be 'unexpectedly' executed.

14. Technology
Establishing the cutting values in a practice-oriented fashion is a most comprehensive task because
of the various tools, materials to be cut, coatings, cutting geometries, range of applications, workpiece
materials etc.
The feed and speed values suggested by the cutting value calculator may therefore not suit all
conditions. Where appropriate, the user should optimise these values.
The cutting values recommended by the tool manufacturer may be useful.
14.1 Technology table
Q1= Material code, which is taken from the file for the material texts.
Q2= Machining process code, which is taken from the file for the machining texts
Q3= Tool type code, which is taken from the file for the tool type texts.
R Tool radius (in mm). If R = 0 is entered, you will be asked to enter the workpiece radius in
case the feed rate or spindle speed has to be calculated in a unit of measurement other than
that specified in the technology table (the programmed data is specified in rpm, for example,
while in the technology table it is given in m/min).
20000710 MillPlus V410 113
F1 Feed rate in mm/rev. The feed rate for the combination of material, machining process, tool
type and tool radius given in the other parameters must be taken from special tables or
calculated.
F2 Feed rate per tooth in mm/rev. Refers to tool types with more than one cutting surface. The
feed rate for the combination of material, machining process, tool type and tool radius given in
the other parameters must be taken from special tables or calculated.
S1 Cutting rate in m/min. This value should be taken from the appropriate documents of the tool
manufacturer or empirical values should be used.
S2 Spindle speed in rpm. This value should be taken from the appropriate documents of the tool
manufacturer or empirical values should be used.
14.1.1 Tools with more than one radius
In situations where identical tools can have different radii, it is not necessary to enter values in the
table for each tool. If the combination of material, machining process and tool type stays the same,
only two values need to be entered in the table, one for the smallest tool raadius and one for the
largest. The system then uses these two values to interpolate the feed rate and speed and puts
forward suggestions for F1 and S1.
14.1.2 Table values for tapping
In some cases, interpolation of the values in the table is not desirable or is not possible, e.g. when
tapping. In such situations the feed rate (F1) must be identical to the thread pitch. Interpolation is not
possible in such cases.
14.1.3 Relationship between F1 and F2
Both F1 and F2 are used to specify the feed rate. Generally, F1 is used to define the feed rates used
in tapping or for drilling using a milling machine. Milling machines usually have more cutting surfaces
(teeth). F2 is normally used to specify the feed rate for milling work.
F1 = F2 x number of cutting surfaces
14.1.4 Relationship between S1 and S2
S1 is specified in meters/minute. S2 is displayed in rpm.
S1 = (S2 x 2 x π x R) / 1000
R is the tool radius.
Note
A value is assigned either to parameter F1 or F2 but not to both. The same applies to parameters S1
and S2.

15.13 Tool measurement using the TT120/TT130
Using the TT130 and the MillPlus tool measurement cycles you can measure tools automatically. The
correction values for length and radius are placed in the tool memory.
After selecting "Measure tool", the following menu screen appears (MC854=2):
The following cycles are available:
Calibration of the TT120/TT130
Tool length measurement
142 Heidenhain
Tool radius measurement
Tool length and radius measurement
Tool length and radius
Before you measure tools for the first time, enter the approximate radius (R10), the approximate
length (L100), the number of cuts (Q4=4) and the cutting direction (I2=0) of the tool to be used in the
tool table.
Measurement results
During the initial measurement, MillPlus overwrites the tool radius (R10 with R10.012) and the tool
length (L100 with L99.456) in the tool memory and sets the oversizes R4 and L4 = 0.
Checking the tool
In the event that you check a tool, the measured tool data is compared with the tool data extracted
from the tool memory. MillPlus calculates the mathematically correct variances and enters these as
oversizes (R4=0.015 and L4=0.06) in the tool memory.
Radial axis approach direction
The approach direction depends on the position of the masuring key system. It is automatically keyed
from the direction in which the greatest travel range is available.
20000710 MillPlus V410 143
15.14 Calibration of the TT120/TT130
The way in which the calibration cycle functions depends on MC854.
Before you calibrate, you must enter the exact radius and the exact length of the calibration tool in the
tool table.
The location of the TT120/TT130 must be set down in the working area of the machine in MC350
MC352 MC354. If you change any of MC350 MC352 MC354, you must recalibrate.
You calibrate the TT120/TT130 using the measurement cycle dialog entry. The calibration process
starts up automatically. MillPlus also determines the mean setting of the calibrator tool automatically.
To achieve this, MillPlus rotates the spindle through 180° at the halfway point of the calibration cycle.
As the calibrator tool you employ an exactly cylindrical component, for example a cylinder pin. MillPlus
stores the calibration values with the machine settings and takes account of them in subsequent tool
measurements.
Position:
Enter the position in the X, Y and Z axes, such that a crash with workpieces or tool holders is
excluded. If the position height input is so small that the tool tip would lie below the upper surface of
the plate, MillPlus automatically positions the calibrator tool over the plate.
Note:
See G606
144 Heidenhain
15.14.1 Tool length measurement
You can determine the tool length in three different ways:
If the tool diameter is greater than the diameter of the measuring area of the TT120/TT130, then you
measure with the tool rotating.
If the tool diameter is smaller than the diameter of the measuring area of the TT120/TT130 or if you
are determining the length of drills or radius form millers, then you measure with the tool stationary.
All cogs are measured using the soft key "All teeth". The measurement is effected with the spindle
stationary. The largest cog lengths are stored in the tool table.
Measurement start-up:"Measurement with the tool rotating".
In order to determine the longest cuts the tool is set at the midpoint of the measuring key system and
rotating on the measuring area to be traversed. You program the setting in the tool table under the
tool setting; radius (R6=).
Measurement start-up:"Measurement with the tool stationary" (e.g. for drills).
The tool to be measured is moved to the dead centre position over the measuring area. Finally it is
moved on to the measuring area with the spindle stationary. To make this measurement, you enter
the tool setting: radius (R6=0) in the tool table.
Measurement start-up:"Individual cut measurement"
MillPlus pre-positions the tool to be measured to the side of the probe. In this way, the tool face is
positioned below the top of the probe, as prescribed in MC395. In the tool table, under tool setting;
length (L6=) you can prescribe an additional setting. MillPlus approaches radially with the tool rotating
in order to determine the start angle for individual cut measurement. Finally, the length of all cuts is
measured by changing the orientation of the spindle. You select the soft key "All teeth" to make this
measurement.

Checking the tool:
During the initial measurement, MillPlus overwrites the tool length L in the tool memory and sets the
oversize L4=0. In the event that you are checking a tool, the actual length measured is compared with
tool length L extracted from the tool table. MillPlus calculates the mathematically correct variance and
enters this as the oversize L4 in the tool table. If this oversize is greater than the permissible wear or
breakage tolerance for the tool length, then a fault report is made.
Safe height:
Enter a position in the spindle axis, by means of parameters from the entry dialog (I1 = safety
distance), such that a crash with pieces of work or their supporting holders is excluded. The safe
height refers to the reference point for the active piece of work. If the safe height entered is so small
that the tool tip would lie below the top surface of the plate, MillPlus does not automatically place the
tool over the plate (security zone from MC397)
Cut measurement:
switch on or off individual cut measurement (Parameter I2=)
Note:
See G607

15.14.2 Measurement of tool radius
You can determine the tool radius in two ways:
Measurement with the tool rotating.
Measurement with the tool rotating, followed by individual cut measurement
Measurement start-up
MillPlus pre-positions the tool to be measured to the side of the probe. In this way, the mill face is
placed below the top of the probe, as prescribed in MC 395. MillPlus approaches with the rotating tool.
In the event that an individual cut measurement should be implemented as well, the radii of old cuts
are measured by means of the spindle orientation.
Checking the tool:
During the initial measurement MillPlus overwrites the tool radius R in the tool memory and sets the
oversize R4=0. In the event that you are checking a tool, the measured radius is compared with the
tool radius R extracted from the tool table. MillPlus calculates the mathematically correct variance and
enters it as oversize R4 in the tool table. If this oversize is greater than the permissible wear or
breakage tolerance for the tool radius, then a fault report is generated.
Safe height:
Enter a position in the spindle axis, by means of parameters from the entry dialog (I1 = safety
distance), such that a crash with pieces of work or their supporting holders is excluded. The safe
height refers to the active workpiece reference point. If the safe height entered is so small that the tool
tip would lie below the top surface of the plate, MillPlus does not automatically place the tool over the
plate (security zone from MC397)
Cut measurement:
switch on or off individual cut measurement (Parameter I2=)
Note:
See G608
20000710 MillPlus V410 147
15.14.3 Measure the tool completely
You can measure the tool in two ways:
Measurement with the tool rotating
Measurement with the tool rotating, followed by individual cut measurement
Measurement start-up
MillPlus measures the tool in accordance with a pre-programmed start-up routine. The tool radius is
measured first, followed by measurement of the tool length.
Checking the tool:
During the initial measurement MillPlus overwrites the tool radius R and the tool length L in the tool
memory and sets the oversizes R4 and L4 = 0. In the event that you are checking a tool,the
measured tool data is compared with the tool data in the tool table. MillPlus calculates the
mathematically correct variances and enters these as oversizes R4 and L4 in the tool table. If any of
the oversizes is greater than the permissible wear or breakage tolerances, then a fault report is
generated.
Safe height:
Enter a position in the spindle axis, by means of parameters from the entry dialog (I1 = safety
distance), such that a crash with pieces of work or their supporting holders is excluded. The safe
height refers to the active workpiece reference point. If the safe height entered is so small that the tool
tip would lie below the top surface of the plate, MillPlus does not automatically place the tool over the
plate (security zone from MC397)
Cut measurement:
switch on or off individual cut measurement (Parameter I2=)
Note:
See G608

15.15 Update machine settings
MillPlus employs the approach rate from MC394 for measurement with the spindle stationary.
MillPlus automatically calculates the spindle speed in rpm and the approach rate during measurement
with the tool rotating. The spindle speed in rpm is calculated in the following way:
MC399
n = ------------------
r • 0.0063
where:
n = turning speed in revolutions/min
MC399 = maximum permissible turning speed in metres per minute [m/min]
R = active tool radius [mm]
The approach rate is calculated from:
V = measurement tolerance • n
where:
V = approach rate [mm/min]
measurement tolerance
= measurement tolerance [mm], dependent on MC391
N = speed in revolution per minute [1/min]
where:
You enter in MC391 the calculation for the approach rate:
MC391=0:
the measurement tolerance remains constant - independent of the tool radius. However, with very
large tools the approach rate is reduced to zero. The lower you choose the maximum turning speed
(MC399) and the permissible tolerance (MC392), this effect is produced in order to make it perceptible
earlier.
MC391=1:
The measurement tolerance is altered with increasing tool radius. This guarantees an approach rate
which is still appropriate for large radius tools. MillPlus alters the measurement tolerance in
accordance with the following table:
Tool radius Measurement tolerance
up to 30 mm MC392
30 to 60 mm 2 • MC392
60 to 90 mm 3 • MC392
90 to l20 mm 4 • MC392
MC391=2:
The approach rate remains constant; however, the measurement error increases linearly as the tool
radius becomes larger:
r • MC392
measurement tolerance = -----------------
5mm
where:
r = tool radius [mm]
MC392 = maximum permissible measurement error

20. Interactive contour programming (ICP)
20.1 Allgemeines
ICP can be used with new or existing main programs or macros.
ICP can be used with DIN/ISO and IPP.
The programmer begins at a certain point of the contour and processes the entire workpiece in either
a clockwise or anticlockwise direction, each contour being described as a linear or circular movement.
Following this initial selection other options are offered until the movement is defined. You are then
requested to enter positional data.
Using ICP each contour is drawn as soon as its position is known, to be precise once the Store key is
pressed. However, this does not always have to be the case. If a contour cannot be classified
immediately it is joined to the following contour until sufficient positional data is available to calculate
its exact position.

20.4 Editing existing programs
When using an existing program, the cursor is positioned at that point in the program at which ICP is
to commence.
Using the cursor keys, scroll upwards and downwards through the program. The relevant contour
section is shown white in the graphic window.
ICP scans the program section before the cursor position for a G64 function without G63 (the cursor is
in an ICP section in the program). If the cursor is located outside a G64-G63 area, these ICP G-
functions are situated in successive program lines.
The program is checked in advance as to whether at least a feed movement has been programmed
for the addresses of the main plane. If not, the user is requested to enter a traversing movement.

Lines and circles may be defined by auxiliary elements, for instance tangents or circles. Missing
coordinates or angles can be calculated with the auxiliary elements. These calculated values are
always displayed for every element.
These calculated values are saved by the "Freeze coordin." softkey. The auxiliary elements may then
be deleted and the required circle or straight line can be re-entered.

20.5.2 Help points
The "Help point" programming option in ICP offers a simple solution to the problem of defining axis
end points in complex contours. The option is used when the axis end point is unknown. As soon as
the axis end point is determined by the next movement or those following on from it, it is classified.
20.5.3 Required angle parameters
Some of the linear interpolation movements call for an angle parameter (specified relative to the
horizontal).
20.5.4 Line intersects circle
ICP draws the line which passes through the circle and the points of intersection (1 and 2) are
marked. The programmer is requested to select the correct point of intersection.
20.5.5 Rounding
The movement preceding the rounding may be designed in any manner, including with an endpoint.
The rounding is specified purely as a radius. Its position and its start and end point are calculated by
ICP as soon as sufficient data is available to classify it.

strategies to create a program. For the most part no knowledge of DIN programming is assumed.
IPP technology proposals are derived from the information in the technology database. The
information stored therein is based on your own experience in the workplace. Please refer to the
chapter on technology.
Each feature begins with a block, which contains the feature description and an identification. You
can switch from IPP to DIN programming at any time.
The machining sequence can be simulated at any time during the creation of a program.
21.1.2 Preparation for IPP programming
- The technology tables must contain suitable data.
- The IPP start macro must contain the right data (see 21.8)
Note
- Always make sure that the retract movement of the tool axis in parameter E714 is large
enough to avoid a collision between tool and workpiece or fixture.
- The tool table must display a list of the tools used most frequently.
- If there is no suitable tool in the tool table, IPP will generate a new tool in this table.
All tools created with the aid of IPP should be entered in the tool table.
During simulation M6 is changed to M67.
21.1.3 IPP programming sequence
The procedure for programming a new program in IPP is described below:
1. First define a blank.
2. You also have the option of defining the type of workpiece clamping device to be used.
3. Program the workpiece with the aid of IPP features.
4. Select the M30 feature to conclude the program.

Note
If it is impossible to access IPP, it should be checked whether the reference point has been
approached in all axes or whether G19, G91, G182, G201, G64 or G199 is active.
21.4.2 Exiting IPP
Exit IPP.
Note
Exiting IPP during programming will result in an incomplete program.

21.5.6 Executing IPP programs
Before executing a parts program the operator must:
Enter all the tools created with the aid of IPP into the magazine and the current tool table.
21.5.7 Converting active plane G17 <-> G18
Programs in IPP are basically made in active plane G17 (XY plane). If the machining operation on the
machine has to be carried out in active plane G18 (XZ plane), the program must first be converted
from G17 to G18. Reconversion is possible.
Editing is also only possible in G17.

21.6 IPP programming tips
21.6.1 Using ICP to define contours
Once one of the options for the freely designed pocket contour or the contour recess has been
selected, ICP is loaded automatically.
The program is checked beforehand to see whether a traversing movement has been programmed at
least for the X- and Y-axes. If not, the user is requested to enter a traversing movement.
21.6.2 IPP proposals
The proposals generated during data entry in IPP are based on the table data stored in the CNC (tool
and technology tables) and on a special IPP start macro. The proposals made in the IPP start macro
can be adapted to suit individual requirements.
21.6.3 Maximum feed rates and spindle speeds
The feed rates and spindle speeds proposed in IPP operation are calculated from the data contained
in the technology tables. If the limitations of the machine tool used are not taken into account in this
process, the possibility exists that the proposed feed rates and spindle speeds will exceed the
maximum values applicable to this machine tool.
For this reason the data stored in the technology tables should take account of the limitations of the
machine tool used.
The machine constant memory contains the maximum allowable values of the feed speeds and
spindle speeds for this machine tool.
21.6.4 Optimizing programming and machining times
1. Centre drill hole, change tool and drill. Repeat operation for each drill hole.
2. Centre all drill holes, change tool and finish all drill holes.
Note
Always decide on the optimization strategy before IPP programming, never afterwards!
21.6.5 Changing IPP programs using the DIN editor
We would like to advise you to change all IPP-generated programs with the aid of IPP. If this should
not be possible or desirable, then it is easy to change programs manually thanks to the standard DIN
code programs generated by IPP.
Program changes which are made manually are lost if a feature which has been changed manually is
later modified in the IPP mode "Change line", to be precise for the reason that IPP deletes the entire
feature and regenerates it.

21.7.1 Preparations for programming the examples
To complete the present example, the tool table should at least contain the following tools:
- End milling cutter radius 10 mm
- Groove milling cutter radius 5 mm
- Drill bit radius 4.25 mm
- Drill bit radius 2.5 mm
- Screw tap M20 x 1.5
- Screw tap M6
- Centre drill radius 6 mm
Make sure that the tool table is completely defined, so that the recommended feed rates and spindle
speeds are given.
Adoption of the IPP program example requires creation of a new program.

21.8 IPP start macro
IPP operation calls for a special file in the macro memory before a complete program can be created,
to be precise the macro N9999998. This file is to be created specially for the machine tool and the
most common application. Users can tailor this file if necessary to suit their own requirements.
The values contained in the start file are purely initial values (or proposals).
An example of a standard start macro is shown below. The values assigned to the parameters are
used in IPP as standard values for specific addresses.

23.6 Tilt operating planes G7 (starting with V400)
Programming of a tilt operating plane for four or five axis machines.
The position of the operating plane can be tilted using the function "Tilt operating plane". The
operation which has then been programmed in the principal plane (G17, G18) can then be
implemented within the tilt operating plane. The tool axis is then orientated vertically in the new plane.
The tilt of the operating planes is defined and implemented using the G7 function.

Notes and employment
G7 FUNCTION
The freely programmable operating plane is defined using the new G7 function:
The new plane becomes active with the original null point.
The tool is orientated vertically in the new plane. The axes which move depend upon the machine
configuration and the programming.
The display shows the coordinates in the new (tilt) plane.
The manual operation is orientated in accordance with the new plane.
DEFINITION OF NEW OPERATING PLANES
Tilting of the operational plane can be defined in two ways:
- Programming with A5=, B5= or C5= parameters. In this way, the absolute tilts about the
corresponding positive axes are defined. The tilts are implemented as follows:
1. the active G7 tilt is raised
2. C5= tilt about the machine fixed positive Z axis
3. B5= tilt about the positive Y axis
4. A5= tilt about the positive X axis
- Programming with A6=, B6= or C6= parameters. The incremental tilts about the current
corresponding positive axes are defined in this way. The tilts are implemented as follows:
1. C6= tilt about the current G7 positive Z axis
2. B6= tilt about the current G7 positive Y axis
3. A6= tilt about the current G7 positive X axis
The programming is independent of the machine configuration. The plane tilt is calculated with
reference to the current null point. The movement is dependent upon the machine configuration.

TOOL VERTICAL ON THE DEFINED TILT PLANE
The G7 tilt movement takes place interpolating with the power traverse. It tilts the tool axis to the
defined plane. The axes which are moved depend upon the type of movement L1=:
- L1=0 The rotary axes do not move (start position).
Comment:
The tilt movement can then be implemented, using the E parameters loaded into A7=, B7= or
C7=. This movement must then be programmed manually.
- L1=1 Interpolate only the rotary axes, which do not move the linear axes.
- L1=2 Interpolate the rotary axes and to that end execute a "compensatory movement". In
this way the tool tip remains in the same position with respect to the workpiece.
WERKZEUGLÄNGENAUFMAß (L)
Wenn die Schwenkbewegung um die Werkzeugspitze stattfindet (L1=2), definiert L ein Aufmaß in der
Werkzeugrichtung, zwischen dem programmierten Endpunkt und der Werkzeugspitze.
SWITCHING OFF THE G7 FUNCTION
The operation of G7 remains active until G7 is switched off. G7 is switched off by the programming of
G7 without parameters or by G7 L1=1 positioning of the rotary axes on the workpiece null point.
G7 is not switched off by M30 or <Program interrupt>. After switching on the control G7 is
permanently active. Travel in the G7 plane is then possible. G7 is switched off in accordance with
reference point travel or <Reset CNC>.
Note:
It is recommended that, at the start of every G7 program, that a G7 without parameters is
programmed. In this way, during the start-up of the program (interrupt within the tilted plane and the
new start), the plane is always reset. Without this G7 at the start, the first part of the program will be
implemented in the tilted plane rather than in the untilted plane.
This programming is similar to programming with G17/G18 - different null points or different tools.
ROTARY AXES
Rotary axes can be programmed in the tilted planes in the normal way. It is the programmer's
responsibility to ensure compatibility of the rotary axes with the G7 tilt.
ABSOLUTE POSITION G74
If G7 is active, the "Absolute position" G74 is referred to the machine coordinates. This is the same
as in V3.3x.
GRAPHICS
The graphics display the G7 plane as the main picture. The screen is refreshed whenever G7
becomes active.
If G7 is active, the position between tool and workpiece is displayed.
DISPLAY
If G7 is active, a yellow icon is displayed on the screen behind the tool number. By means of a small
"p" on the right next to the "axes characters", an indication is given as to whether the display relates to
the tilted operating planes or to the machine coordinates. The operating status has been enhanced
with the current reading of the programmed G7 space angle.
G-FUNCTIONS
262 Heidenhain
A new soft key (Jog to the G7 plane) appears in the "Jog operation type" soft key group. This soft key
is used to switch between the tilted operating planes and the machine coordinates. If the position is
displayed in machine coordinates, the actual position of the tool tip is shown.
CHANGE OF TOOL
If G7 is active, a tool change is not permitted (fault report). G7 must first be deselected. G7 must then
be selected again, in order to resume work in the tilted plane following the tool change.
Example:
N100 G7 B5=45 L1=1 (plane is set)
N110 T14 (tool preselect)
..
N200 G0 Z200 (the tool axis is withdrawn)
N210 G7 B5=0 L1=1 (deselect G7)
N220 M6 (tool change)
N230 G0 X.. Y.. Z.. (power traverse to the new start position)
N240 G7 L1=1 B5=45 (face is rotated again in the G7 plane)
PALETTE, TILT FACE OR TOOL CHANGE
While G7 is active a change of palette, tilt face or tool cannot be implemented. A fault is displayed and
the program must be interrupted. Before such a change, G7 must be deactivated.
TILT OPERATING PLANE WITH M53/M54
During mixed operation with G7 and M53/M54, the tilt face positioning M53/M54 with M55 must be
relinquished before programming G7. In this way, the face offset which is active under these
conditions is relinquished.
M FUNCTIONS WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED IF G7 IS SWITCHED ON
If G7 is switched on, the following M functions are not permitted to be active:
M53, M54
M FUNCTIONS WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED WITHIN G7
If G7 is active, the following M functions are not permitted:
M6, M46, M53, M54, M60, M61, M62, M63, M66

P306 Plane not clearly defined
The G7 plane is defined with a mix of absolute (A5=, B5=, C5=) and incremental (A6=, B6=,
C6=) angles.
Resolution: Use only absolute or incremental angles. If required, several G7 definitions
with incremental angles behind one another can be defined.
P307 Programmed plane not attainable
The defined G7 tilt position, owing to the restricted range of the rotary axis, cannot be
attained.
MACHINE SETTINGS
MC312 free operating plane (0=off, 1=on)
activates the free operating plane. The G7 function can be programmed.
G-FUNCTIONS
20000710 MillPlus V410 263
MC755 free operating plane: rotation (0=coordinates cross,1=axes)
If the desired rotation of the operating plane is compatible with the rotation of a rotary
axis, an adjustment may be made to determine whether the relevant rotary axis or
the coordinates cross is rotated.
e.g. on a machine with (real C axis) the programming G7 C5=30 and MC755=0 generates a
rotation of the coordinates cross through -30° and, if MC755=1, a rotation of the C axis

23.7 Tilting of the operating plane (from V400)
23.7.1 Introduction
The control supports the tilting of operating planes on tool machines with tilting faces or tilting tables.
Please consult your user handbook.
Typical applications, for example, are oblique drilling or contours which lie obliquely in the operating
area. In this way, the operating plane is always tilted about an active null point. Normally, the
operation is programmed in a principal plane, e.g. X/Y plane; however, it is executed in the plane
which was tilted to the principal plane.
Consult the description of the G7 function for the programming of the freely programmable operating
plane.
The tilting of the operating plane is defined and implemented using the G7 function. The G7 function
is made up of two components:
- definition of new operating planes, rotation of the coordinate system.
- in the event that it is programmed, tilt the tool vertically to the defined operating plane.
An operation on an oblique workpiece plane is programmed in local coordinates. In this way, the local
X and Y coordinates lie in the oblique plane and the Z coordinate is fixed vertically in the plane.
The machine recognizes the link between the local coordinates and the true machine axes and
calculates this. The control calculates the tool correction factor.
Millplus distinguishes two machine types during tilting of the operating plane:
1) Machine with a tilting table
The location of the transformed machine axis is not changed with reference to the
coordinates system fixed in the machine. If you rotate your table, and thus the workpiece,
through 90°, for example, the coordinate system is not rotated through 90° with it. If, in the
operating mode "Manual operation", you press the axis direction key Z+, the tool travels in the
direction Z+.
2) Machine with a tilting face
the location of the tilted (transformed) machine axis is changed with reference to the
coordinates system fixed in the machine:
If you rotate the tilting face of your machine and hence the tool, e.g. in the B axis about +90°,
the coordinates system is rotated with it. If, in the operating mode "Manual operation", you
press the axis direction key Z+, the tool travels in the direction Z+ and X+ of the coordinates
system fixed in the machine.
G-FUNCTIONS
268 Heidenhain
Using the G7 function you define the location of the operating plane by the input of tilt angles. The
angles entered describe the angular components of a space vector.
If you program the angular components of the space vector, the control automatically calculates the
angular position of the tilt axes. MillPlus calculates the location of the space vector and thus the
location of the spindle axis, by means of rotation about the coordinates system fixed in the machine.
The sequence of rotations for the calculation of the space vector is fixed: MillPlus turns the A axis first,
next the B axis and finally the C axis.
The G7 function is effective from the start of its definition in the program.
MillPlus can only position controlled axes automatically.
In the G7 definition, you can, in addition, input a safety distance to the tilt angles, with which the tilt
axes are positioned.
Use only pre-set tools (full tool length in the tool table).
During the tilting process the position of the tool tip opposite the workpiece remains virtually
unchanged (depending on the type of movement L1=).
MillPlus implements the tilting process using the power traverse.
23.7.2 Machine types
Milling machines with four or five axes can be used for the oblique machining of a workpiece.
Depending on the plane which is tilted, other types of machine are needed for the working. At least
two rotary axes and three linear axes are needed, in order to reach all sides and planes (except the
under surface) without the need for remounting.
The possible types of machine are:
90° tilting face and turntable
The tilting face can be in two states. The upper and reverse sides can be worked by means of
the tilting face. The four side surfaces can be worked using the turntable (C axis). The
machine is only suited to all oblique operating planes if the tilting face can also be set in the
oblique position manually.
Double turntable
The tables (A and C axes) are stacked. In this way, all sides and oblique operating planes
can be worked.
Double turntable and 45° tilting face
The tables (A and C axes) are stacked. The A axis is limited in its angular movement. In
conjunction with the two tilting face states all sides and oblique operating planes can be
worked.
45° double turntable
The tables (B and C axes) are stacked. The B axis is fixed in this way at an angle of 45°. All
sides and oblique operating planes can be worked.
Turntable and rotating face
The face (B axis) can be freely positioned. In conjunction with the table (C axis) all sides and
oblique operating planes can be worked.
Turntable and 45° rotating face
The face (B axis) is set at an angle of 45°. In conjunction with the table (C axis) all sides and
oblique operating planes can be worked.

23.7.3 Kinematic model
The control needs a kinematic model of the machine in order to reset the programmed local
coordinates in the oblique plane to the movements of the machine axes. A kinematic model describes
the "construction" of the axes and the exact position of the different turning points on the rotary axes.
As an example, a kinematic model of the DMU 50 V machine is shown.The kinematic model is made
up of a chain stretching from the work piece to the machine frame. It is not necessary to describe the
chain from the workpiece to the machine frame, because it includes no rotary axes.
Kinematic model for the DMU 50 V
Explanation of the drawing:
-1,2,3 three elements in the X, Y, and Z directions in order to fix the (absolute) centre
position of the workpiece table with reference to the marker positions.
-4 element for definition of the C axis.
It is only necessary to describe the rotating axis of a rotary axis, not the centre point.
-5,6 two elements in order to obtain the rotating axis of the second (incremental) rotary
axis.
-7 element for definition of the (incremental) direction of the second rotating axis. This
direction is -45° in the A axis (all around the X axis).
-8 element for definition of the B axis.
-9 element in order to raise the -45° tilt (Element 7) again. In this way, the kinematic
chain ends without rotation.
The kinematic model is entered by means of the machine settings MC600 to MC699.
To determine the connection between the operating planes and the positions of the axes, the stacking
and the exact position of the different rotating points of the rotary axes are needed. A description of
this stacking is called the kinematic model. The kinematic model is defined in the form of two "chains".
One chain defines the axis stacking of the tool as far as the machine frame, the other chain from the
workpiece to the machine frame. In this way, it is only necessary to describe a chain if it contains
rotary axes.
A kinematic chain defines, by means of displacements and tiltings, the way in which the rotary axes lie
with respect to one another. Every displacement or tilting is determined as an element of the
G-FUNCTIONS
20000710 MillPlus V410 271
kinematic chain in three machine settings. Thus, a total of 25 elements of the kinematic chain can be
determined. All rotary axes and positioning axes which are present should be described.
Only the machine types with rotary axes in the X, Y or Z direction, in which the sequence of
rotary axes from workpiece to tool is as follows, are supported:

The position display on the screen can change between the position in the G7 plane (Xp,Zp) or in
machine coordinates (X,Z).
Both are based on the active null point G52 + G54 + G92/G93.
23.7.6 Axis selection/positioning axis
An axis which is not regulated must be set to the correct position by hand. However, either before or
after this, the oblique setting of the tool must also be entered by means of G7. Otherwise it will not be
checked.
Comment: The expected position of the rotary axes is set parametrically in G7 using
n7=<parameter number>. An axis selection or a positioning axis can be set manually
using this information.
The axis selection or the positioning axis should also be followed in the kinematic model.
23.7.7 Reference point
If the reference point is approached during G7, the rotary axes remain in their reference position
following the approach. The G7 plane is deactivated and the G17 plane is activated.
After running up the machine, but before approaching the reference point, the G7 plane is still active.
After < reset CNC> the G7 plane is deactivated.

23.7.8 Interruption
If the G7 movement is interrupted, the exact position of the tool tip is displayed on the screen.
Following interruption, the axes can be used in manual operation [mode].
Following <Start> a move in position back to the interrupted point is effected. At the same time the
axes run with positional logic corresponding with the G7 plane. Concurrently, the rotary axes rotate to
the initial position.
23.7.9 Fault reports
P306 plane not clearly defined
The G7 plane is defined using a mix of absolute angles (A5=, B5=, C5=) and
incremental angles (A6=, B6=, C6=).
Solution: Use only absolute or incremental angles. If necessary, several G7 definitions
with incremental angles can be defined, one behind the other.
P307 program plane not attainable
The G7 oblique setting defined cannot be attained, on account of the limited range of
the rotary axes.
Solution: Machines with a tilting face should tilt the face (by means of the M function)
from the instantaneous position (horizontal or vertical) following the other
position
O256 Machine type not recognized
The kinematic model in MC600 to MC699 is defining a type of machine which is not
supported for the oblique operating plane (G7). Only machine types with the following
sequence of rotary axes, as viewed from the workpiece to the to tool, are supported:
- A C
- C A
- C B
- C A fixed B -A fixed
(A fixed is a fixed tilt in the direction of the A axis, as, for example,
the DMU50V has with -45°)
- C
- Axis change variants (C becomes B, and B becomes C) are also possible.
Solution: The kinematic model should be entered in detail, with at least a description of
those rotary axes present. The control must be run up once more.

MC600 - MC699
There are 100 new machine settings (MC600 – MC699) for the description of
the kinematic model. The model is described using a maximum of 25
elements, in which each element is described by means of four machine
settings.
The following machine settings are used:
MC600 Kinematic chain (0=end,1=tool,2=workpiece)
MC601 Element (0,1=X,2=Y,3=Z,4=A,5=B,6=C)

MC755 Free operating plane: rotation (0=coordinates cross,1=axes)
If the desired rotation of the operating plane corresponds with the rotation of
a rotary axis, the control has the choice between rotten using the relevant
rotary axis or rotation using the coordinates cross. This choice is made with
MC755.
E.G on a machine with a (true) C axis the program instruction G7 C5=30 and
MC755=0 produces a rotation of the coordinates cross over -30° and
MC755=1 a rotation of the C axis over 30°.

23.8 Swivel tool G8 (from V410)
To program a swivelled tool for four or five-axis machines.
With the function "Swivel tool" the tool axis can be set obliquely relative to the machining plane. This
makes angle milling possible and substantially improves cutting conditions and thus surface quality.
The programming of G8 is identical to G7. G7 should therefore also be read.

G FUNCTIONS NOT PERMITTED WITHIN G8
The following G functions are not permitted when G8 is active:
G6, G19, G40, G41, G42, G43, G44, G141, G180, G182
The rotation of the tool direction can be defined in two ways:
- Programming with A5=, B5= or C5= parameters. The absolute rotations about the
corresponding positive axes are defined by this. The rotations are calculated as
follows:
1. the active G8 rotation is cancelled
2. C5= rotation about the positive Z axis fixed with respect to the machine
3. B5= rotation about the positive Y axis
4. A5= rotation about the positive X axis
G-FUNCTIONS
276 Heidenhain
- Programming with A6=, B6= or C6= parameters. The incremental rotations about the
corresponding current positive axes are defined by this. The rotations are calculated
as follows:
1. C6= rotation about the current G8 positive Z axis
2. B6= rotation about the current G8 positive Y axis
3. A6= rotation about the current G8 positive X axis
Programming is independent of the machine configuration. The plane rotation is calculated
relative to the current zero point. The motion is dependent on the machine configuration.
SCANNING A CALCULATED ANGULAR POSITION
A7=, B7=, C7= Contains the number of the E parameter in which the calculated angle of the
corresponding rotary axis is set.
SWIVEL MOTION
The G8 swivel motion is performed by interpolating with feed (F6=). It swivels the tool axis
onto the defined plane. Which axes move depends on the type of motion L1= :
- L1=0 The rotary axes do not move (default).
Note: The swivel motion can be programmed or performed manually by means of the E parameters
that are loaded with A7=, B7= or C7=.
- L1=1 Only the rotary axes swivel, while the linear axes do not move.
- L1=2 The rotary axes swivel and the linear axes perform a movement. This means that the
contact point position remains X, Y, Z.
If the contact point lies on the tool corner radius, the movement is only a rotation.
If the contact point is the tool tip and the corner radius (C) is smaller than the tool radius (R), a
compensating movement occurs so that the contact point is shifted from the tool tip to the
corner radius.
With cylindrical cutters (with corner radius C < cutter radius R), the following particular point
applies:
When swivelling from the vertical (1) to the oblique (2--> 3) position or vice versa, the contact
point moves from the centre of the cutter to the corner radius (A) and vice versa. A
compensating movement at the tool tip ensures that the current contact position X, Y, Z
remains unchanged.
TOOL LENGTH_ALLOWANCE
If the swivel motion takes place about the tool contact point (L1=2), L defines an extra
allowance in the tool direction between the rotation point and the tool tip.
G-FUNCTIONS
20000710 MillPlus V410 277
TOOL CORRECTION
During the function "swivel tool" (G8) the values L, R and C for the tool are corrected.
This G8 tool correction is independent of G40, G41, G42, G43, G44 and is always effective.
At the beginning and end of the tool correction, a compensation movement is carried out if the
corner radius (C) is smaller than the tool radius (R).
If the tool dimensions (L,R,C) change with G8 active, the current position of the linear axes is
re-calculated.
TURNING OFF THE G8 FUNCTION
G8 remains active until it is cancelled. G8 is cancelled by programming G8 without angle
parameters.
G8 is not cancelled by M30 or <program abort>. After the control is turned on, G8 is still
active. After search for reference points or <CNC reset> G8 is cancelled.
Note: At the start any program that uses G8, we recommend that a G8 is programmed with no
parameters. This ensures that the tool direction is always reset as the program is starting up
(abort with swivelled tool and new start). Without this G8 at the beginning, the first part of the
program is executed in the swivelled instead of the unswivelled plane.
The programming is similar to programming with G7/G17/G18 - different zero points or
different tools.
CONFIGURATION
Swivel tool (G8) can be used for machines where a kinematic model is defined and entered. See
description of the kinematic model.
DISPLAY
When G8 is active, a yellow icon is displayed in the display behind the tool number.
A small 'p' on the right, next to the 'axis letters', is used to display whether the position of the tool tip is
displayed or the position in machine coordinates.

Note
The block numbers of N1=.. and N2=.. must both be in the same part program or subprogram.
If N2=is not programmed, only the block marked N1= will be repeated.
If parameters J and E are not programmed, the block sequence will only be repeated once. A
repeating block sequence can be contained in another repeating block sequence (can be nested four
times).
A repeat only takes place in a G14 block if E>0. If the K parameter is not programmed, the CNC uses
the standard value K1.

Parameters
23.18.2 Look Ahead Feed (from V320 onwards)
Look Ahead Feed is used for precalculation on the programmed tool path, while taking account of the
dynamics of all axes involved. The path speed is adjusted to achieve the highest contour accuracy at
the highest possible speed. The programmed feed is, however, never exceeded.
Taking the programmed feed and actual feed override settings into account, special high-performance
algorithms ensure a homogeneous feed at fast processing times.
With respect to Look Ahead Feed users need not pay attention to anything else.
This function cannot be influenced.
Existing programs need not be adjusted. They can be run as before.
During Look Ahead Feed the end point and centre of a circle should match to within 64 µm. In this
case the centre is corrected automatically. Unlike V310 there is no "compensation movement" at the
end point. An error message follows if the end point and centre do not match to within 64 µm. The
same applies also to helix interpolation.
The running speed of CAD-generated programs is increased substantially.
Only the G28 function has been changed. The addresses for feed limitation were cancelled (refer to
G27/G28 from V320 onwards).

23.19 Conditional jump G29
N.. G29 E.. N=.. {K..} {I..}
Parameters
Example
:
N50 E2=3 Parameter E2 will have value 3
N51
:
:
N100 G29 E2 N=51 At E2 > 0 there will be a jump to N51; E2 is reduced by 1. At E2=0 the
program run is continued after N100.
:
Note
The value of the E parameter is reduced by the value of the K address. The E parameter is used as
the new branch condition.
If the K address is not programmed, the E parameter is reduced by 1 after each branch.
Forward and backward jumping is possible in a subprogram or program. This is controlled by
parameter I. If I=1 or I=0, searching will only be in forward direction. If I=-1 or no value is shown, there
will first be a jump backwards to the beginning of the subprogram or program, which is followed by
forward searching for the block number.

23.20 Activate/deactivate offset G39 (from V320 onwards
The programmed contour may be changed by offset.
Activate offset:
N... G39 {R...} {L...}
R: tool radius offset
L: tool length offset
Deactivate:
N... G39 L0 and/or R0
Parameters
Notes and usage
Changes made to the tool length offset will be activated with the next in-feed movement.
The tool radius offset is only active with active cutter radius compensation.
With inactive cutter radius compensation, tool radius offset changes will be activated when cutter
radius compensation (G41/G42, G43/G44) has been activated.
With activated cutter radius compensation, tool radius offset changes will be corrected linearly over
the entire path in the next movement block.
Note:
Tool radius offset is suppressed when the following functions have been activated: G6, G83-G89,
G141, G182. Length offset remains active. Offset programming should be deactivated before these
functions.

Constant feed for radius compensation of circles
Parameter F1= is used to keep the programmed feed on the workpiece contour constant
regardless of the cutter radius and contour shape.
F1=0 feed not constant (switch-on condition, M30, Cancel program softkey or after Clear control
softkey). The programmed feed should represent the tool tip speed.
G-FUNCTIONS
298 Heidenhain
* = feed too large ** = feed too small
F1=1 constant feed only on the inside of circular arcs. The programmed feed is reduced to ensure
that the tool tip moves along the inside of a circular arc at reduced speed.
F1=2 constant feed on the inside and outside of circular arcs. The programmed feed is reduced
(inside of circular arcs) or increased (outside of circular arcs) to ensure that the tool tip moves
at the calculated new speed. If the increased speed exceeds the maximum feed defined by a
machine constant, the maximum feed is used.
G-FUNCTIONS
20000710 MillPlus V410 299
F1=3 constant feed only on the outside of circular arcs. The programmed feed is increased to
ensure that the tool tip moves along the outside of a circular arc at the increased speed.

23.24 Measuring a point G45
Determines coordinate values with the measurement probe. The clamping position of the work piece
and the work piece dimensions can be measured. The measurement results can be further processed
by G49 and G50. The freely programmable measurement cycle G145-G150 can be used as an
alternative to G45.
N.. G45 [measurement position] {I+/-1} {J+/-1} {K+/-1} {L+/-1} {X1=..} {N=..} {P1=..}
The plane of the rotary table is determined by definition of the 4th axis in the machine constant list.
(MC117 should be 4 and MC118 should be B(66) or C(67)). L relates to the 4th axis B or C. Rotary
axis A is not allowed.

When tool T5 is called, the controller recognises that this tool is the measuring probe. The “spindle on”
function (M3, M4, M13, M14) is suppressed and a fault message is issued.
Function G45 operates only parallel to the axis. The function of G145 has improved and now includes
measurement unparallel to the axis. We therefore recommend that you should use the new basic
measurement movement G145.
The difference between the measured and the programmed coordinate is calculated and stored

23.26 Calibrating the measuring probe G46 + M26
The measuring probe radius is determined by touching the calibration ring. The controller calculates
the probe radius from the measured radius of the calibration ring and the programmed radius. The
new radius value is stored in tool memory.
The centre point coordinates and the radius of the calibration ring are entered as machine constants.
Measuring the internal gauge ring:

If the difference lies within the tolerance limits, program processing continues.
If the difference lies outside the tolerance limits, the following options are available:
Repetition of the program section:
N.. G49 {X.., X1=..} {Y.., Y1=..} {Z.., Z1=..} {B.., B1=..} {R.., R1=..} N1=.. N2=.. {E..}
Conditional branch:
N.. G49 {X.., X1=..} {Y.., Y1=..} {Z.., Z1=..} {B.., B1=..} {R.., R1=..} N=.. E..
The measurement point must lie between the upper limit dimension (X/..) and the lower limit
dimension (X1=/..) of the tolerance range.

23.31 Extended zero offset G54 MC84>0 (from V320 onwards)
Additionally to the current zero offset table G54..G59 there is another zero offset table G54 I[nr] with a
maximum of 99 zero offsets. The relevant zero offset is selected by machine constant MC84.
- Identifier of zero offset memory Ze.Ze (MC84 > 0)
- Programming (offset values) of zero offset in NC program
- Programming an angle of rotation (B4=) in zero offset
- Entering comment in zero offset memory
Define and call zero offset:
G54 I[nr] [axis coordinates] {B4=..}
Call zero offset:
G54 I[nr]
Parameters
Notes and use
The zero offset table is adjusted during scaling (MC84 > 0). The existing zero points are maintained.
Extended zero points are initialised to zero.
Attention: If MC84 is zeroed, the table is changed (ZE.ZE to ZO.ZO). The new zero point
table is initialised to zero.
Offset values may be entered in the zero point memory in two different ways:
- The values of zero offsets G54 I[nr] are entered in the zero offset memory
prior to execution of the program, via the control panel or from a data carrier.
- The values of zero offset G54 I[nr] X.. Y.. Z.. A.. B.. C.. B4=.. are
programmed in an NC program block. During execution of the program, the
programmed values are accepted and activated in the zero offset memory.
Attention: If no new zero offset values have been programmed in the program block, the
zero offset values already existing in the memory must not be overwritten or
deleted. The unprogrammed axis coordinates are taken from the memory.
Collision hazard!
Every zero offset in the table may also involve comments.
Every zero offset in the table may also involve axis rotation. First the offset is carried out, then the
coordinate system is rotated through angle B4=.
G52 does not affect the functions G53...G59. If G52 is active, G54..G59 will be active from this offset.
A programmed zero offset (G92 or G93) will be cancelled by any of the G54 I[nr] functions.
G54 I[nr] is automatically cancelled by the Clear control softkey or by programming G53. The
functions G54...G59 are not cancelled by the Cancel Program softkey or M30.

Notes
The control system itself calculates a starting position. The first movement is a positioning movement
to the calculated starting point. The approach movement starts from this point.
The approach movement consists of two different movements. First, the rapid traversing or feed
movement (determined by I1=) to the (calculated) starting point of the approach movement. Secondly,
a feed movement along the approach contour to the starting point of the contour.
The approach side is determined by the active function G41/G42. When G40 is active, there will be an
approach movement, similarly to G41.
If radius compensation (G41/G42 without travel in the program block) is activated directly before the
G61 block, compensation takes place during linear movement. Depending on the actual position, the
movement will be closer to or farther away from the approach circle.
If radius compensation is already active, both the linear and circular movements will be carried out
with radius compensation.
If no G function has been programmed after the G61 block, G1 is not active automatically. The last
movement of the G61 function may be G1, G2 or G3.
If the distance between the actual position and the approach circle exceeds the milling radius (I2=0),
the approach movement consists of a line and circular arc.
If the distance between the actual position and the approach circle is smaller than the milling radius,
I2=0 is changed to I2=1, and the approach movement will be a quarter circle.
G61 programming is subject to the following limitations: G61 is not allowed in the ICP and G64
modes, in the MDI mode and in the G182 mode.
Specific limitations apply to the blocks immediately following the approach movement (G61). Only the
following functions G64, G0, G1, G2 and G3 with movements in the active plane are allowed.
Falls nach dem G61-Satz keine G-Funktion programmiert worden ist, wird G1 nicht automatisch

Notes
First read G61 to understand G62.
Notes and usage
If radius compensation (G40 without travel in the program block) is turned off immediately before the
G62 block, compensation will be deactivated during the tangential exit movement. If radius
compensation with G40 is not deactivated, both the circular and the linear movement will be with
radius compensation.
Limitations
Programming of G62 is subject to the following limitations:
- G62 is not allowed in the ICP and G64 modes
- G62 is not allowed in the MDI mode
- G62 is not allowed in the G182 mode
Specific limitations apply to the blocks immediately following the approach movement (G61).
Only the following functions are allowed:

Notes and usage
The G74 function is mainly used in programming cycles for tool changers, pallet stations etc., if the
programmed coordinates should not depend on the coordinates used to define machining of the
workpiece.
The end point coordinate may be defined in two different ways:
1) X100: relative position to reference point
2) X100 X1=2: relative position to the absolute position of the machine constant

332 Heidenhain
Machine positions 1 to 10 for the first axis can be determined using the machine settings MC3145 --
MC3154. The machine settings MC3245 -- MC3254 etc are used for the second axis.
If the value in the machine setting being used is zero, no drive movement is implemented.
With G74 there will be travel simultaneously in all programmed axes. The next travel does not start
until the required position is reached in all axes.
K0: Allowance is made for an (accurate) stop between the movement of block G74 and the
movement in the next block, as is usual for rapid traversing movements.
(K0 is the switch-on position).
K1: No allowance is made for a stop between the movement of block G74 and the movement in
the next block (rounding). The next movement starts when the required position has almost
been reached in all axes.
K2: No allowance is made for a stop between the movement of block G74 and the movement in
the next block. The next movement starts when the required position has almost been
reached in all axes. This position is defined by the machine constant (MC136) (K2=0) or the
window size (K2=...) for the corner release distance.
K2= window size in mm (0-32.766 mm)
If an incremental movement is programmed after a G74 movement, the coordinates relate to the
position indicated in the G74 block.
Tool length compensation is usually not applied in G74 (L0 is switch-on position). L1 must be
programmed for tool length compensation.
Radius compensation (G41...G44) should be cancelled before activation of the G74 function.
Geometry function G64 must not be active during G74.
The active zero offset is ignored for the G74 block.
The travel immediately preceding G74 should be programmed with G0 or G1. The travel immediately
following G74 is automatically executed with the same G function.
Example
The coordinates of P in relation to R are known. P is programmed as follows:

Note
A machining cycle (G81-G89) is executed with G77 or G79.
During call-up of a G84 cycle by means of G79 the soft key Clear control must be set for G94
operation (feed in mm/min) and not for G95 operation (feed in mm/360 degree turn). G94 is always to
be programmed before G84.
From V400:
Tapping can be programmed with or without interpolation.
I1=0 guided (basic position, open position control loop)
I1=1 interpolating (closed position control loop)
An active "Process level G7 traverse" can only be operated with interpolation (I1=1)
As of V410,
if "Swivel working plane (G7)" is active, and the head has not been swivelled (tool axis is same as the
Z axis), guided tapping can also be performed (I1=0).
Machine settings
MC723 and MC727 are no longer required during interpolation. The machine settings of the spindle
should be set correctly during tapping. The spindle acceleration is calculated for every operation with
the help of MC2491, 2521, 2551, 2581 and MC2495, 2525, 2555, 2585. In every case, MC4430
should be active for good control.

FSP: Driving up from the traverse position by the shortest route
FSP now always outputs an angle between -180 and +180 degrees. This is changed so that an angle
is output between the end switches. This angle is then the shortest route. The disadvantage is that the
position of the circular axis can climb to very high values which should be reset to a moment.

Notes
Tool correction:
K0: Tool correction on.
Measuring positions are corrected to take account of tool length and tool radius. Measuring
positions in rotational axes do not take tool data into account.
K1: Tool correction off. Measuring positions will not be corrected.
The following assumptions are made if the measuring positions are corrected to take account of the
size of the measuring probe:
- the measuring probe lies parallel to the tool axis
- the measuring probe is completely spherical
- the measuring probe moves vertically in relation to the surface being examined.
E parameter:
The number of the E parameter in which the measured axis position is stored (e.g. X7=2 indicates that
the measured value in the X axis will be stored in parameter E2. X7=E1 (E1=5) signifies that the
measured value will be stored in E5.
Measuring probe status:
E...=0: the programmed end position has been reached, but no measuring point has been detected.
The associated E parameters containing the measured values remain unchanged.
E...=1: a measuring point was detected during the measuring operation. The measuring position has
been saved in the E parameters.
E...=2: block G145 was executed during a block search operation, a test run or while in Demo mode.
Status monitoring (I3=)
Monitoring of the measuring key status within G145 can be disabled for certain equipments (laser).
The laser has no signal. The standard value is zero.
The functions G145 to G150 must not be used when G182 is being used.
In all the specified operating modes, a value of 2 is allocated to the E parameter for the status of the
measuring probe. The use of parameters without measuring data can be prevented by testing the
value of this parameter in the measuring macros.

23.60 Cancel cylinder interpolation or activate basic coordinate system G180
Cancel the cylindrical coordinate system or define the main plane and tool axis (basic coordinate
system).
N... G180 [main axis 1] [main axis 2] [tool axis] Basic coordinate system
Parameters
General principles
The normal expression is G180 X1 Y1 Z1
Only the following configurations are possible:
Main axis 1 X
Main axis 2 Y
Tool axis Z or W
The correct procedure depends on three different items of information:
1) G17/G18/G19 determines the tool axis (G17 Z).
2) G180 determines the axes to be changed (G17 W in Z)
3) The machine constants for the tool axis definition should be OK. (Tool axis W
belongs to Z).
Example
N12340
N1 G17 T1 M6
N2 G54
N3 F1000 S1000 M3
N4 G180 X1 Y1 Z1 Activate main plane XY and tool axis Z.
N5 G81 Y2 B10 Z-22 Define cycle.
N6 G79 X0 Y0 Z0 Drill with the feed movement in the Z axis.
Notes and usage
Functions G41...G44, G64, axis rotation (G92/G93 B4=) and G141 should be cancelled before G180
is activated.
Tool length compensation is active in the defined tool axis. Radius compensation is active in the main
plane.
The machine constants must be used correctly. If the tool axis is the fourth axis, MC117 should be 3
(MC117 = 3) (same as Z axis). MC3401 = 0 (tool axis is a linear axis).
Only Cartesian coordinates can be used.
If G180 is programmed and radius compensation is still active, it will be cancelled by G180.
We recommend to cancel radius compensation, using G40, and to change to the basic coordinate
system.

23.67 Create pocket cycle macro's G200
N.. G200
This function must be programmed before the universal pocket cycle and indicates that:
- the coordinates for the milling paths must be calculated (if they have not already been
calculated).
- the milling paths are programmed in a macro generated by the CNC; the number (N1=..) of
this macro is specified in a G201 block.
- if necessary (indicated by N2=.. in a G201 block) a second macro to drill the start point will be
generated.
- if necessary (indicated in a G203 or G205 block) the macros (N1=..) for reworking the
contours will be generated.
All operating conditions, such as processing level, zero point offsets and tool corrections should be
specified before the G200 function is executed.
Point definitions (G78), which are used to specify the pocketn contour, should be defined before the
G200 block.
A G200 block can be incorporated in a macro; the pocket will, however, only be searched for in
macros nested at a lower level.
The CNC expands the macros before the program is executed. Blocks between G200 and G201 are
therefore ignored at first. These blocks are processed once the macros have been generated.
All universal pocket cycles programmed between a block G200 and G202 or M30 are calculated
simultaneously.
The machining level (G17/G18/G19) has to be defined before G200 or after G202 was programmed.
Note
As of V321 the user can no longer see generated macros in the macro memory. If a macro is to be
used in another program, the relevant macro number must first be entered in the macro memory. Only
then will the macro be visible in the macro memory and can it be read in/out.

Notes
The addresses (especially Y and Z) are independent of the active level.
The functions G90, G40 and G63 are activated automatically when the G201 function is executed.
The functions G201/G202, G203/G204 and G205/G206 must all be in the same program/macro.
The only blocks that may appear between G201 and G202 are: G203/G204, G205/G206 and G207.

The movements G1, G2/G3 are limited to the main level. Tool axes and rotary axis coordinates are
not permitted.
The program is to be continued from an absolute position after describing the pocket.
E parameters can be used for contour descriptions. Calculations must be performed before G200 is

The first point of a contour description must be specified in a G203 block. Reworking of the contour
also starts at this point.
The bottom of the pocket must lie parallel to the processing level.
The edges of the pocket must be at right angles to the bottom of the pocket.
Two elements of the same pocket must not intersect or touch.
During finish-cutting, the programmer must ensure that a tool diameter is selected that is smaller than
the narrowest section in the pocket of the work piece. Contour violations during finishing are not
detected by the controller.

Notes
The CNC assumes that the tops of the island and the pocket are at the same level.
If the island is higher than the top of the pocket, the B word in the G201 block can be used to prevent
a collision between the milling tool and the work piece while moving from one starting point to the
next.
G205 activates G1, G63 and G90.
The tool axis must not be programmed.
The contour of an island must be complete.
Two islands may not intersect or touch.
Islands must be situated in the pocket and must not intersect or touch the edges.

1. sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, sqrt, abs, int
2. Exponentiation (^), reciprocal values (^-1)
3. Multiplication (*), division (:)
4. Addition (+), subtraction (-)
5. Relational expressions (=, <>, >, >=, <, <=)
If a block contains operations of the same priority, they are executed in sequence from the start of the
block to the end.
28.3 Expanded calculation operations
28.3.1 E parameters
Format: Arc sine E1=asin(E2,E3)
Arc cosine E1=acos(E2,E3)
Arc tangent E1=atan(E2,E3)
Whole number conversion with large value E1=ceil(E2)
Whole number conversion with small value E1=floor(E2)
Rounding E1=round(E2,n) (n is no. of decimal places)
Remainder of division E1=mod(E2,E3)
Sign E1=sign(E2)
Remark: The integer function is changed with the floor function in V420 and higher.
28.3.2 Whole numbers
When using the integer function, the numerical value is rounded, i.e. all
figures after the decimal point are ignored.
E1=int(E2)
Example: E2=8.9 results in 8, E2=-8.9 results in –8
28.3.3 Whole numbers with largest value
When using the integer function with the largest value, the numerical value is rounded
according to the largest argument.
E1=ceil(E2)
Example: E2=8.9 results in 9, E2=-8.9 results in –8
28.3.4 Whole numbers with smallest value
When using the integer function with the smallest value, the numerical value is rounded
according to the smallest argument.
E1=floor(E2)
Example: E2=8.9 results in 8, E2=-8.9 results in –9
20000710 MillPlus V410 431
28.3.5 Rounding
When the rounding function is used, the numerical value is rounded according to the number
of decimal places.
E1=round(E2,n) (n is number of decimal places)
Remark: If the number of decimal places is not entered, zero is assumed.
Example: n=1 and E2=8.94 results in 8.9, n=1 and E2=-8.94 results in -8.9
n=1 and E2=8.96 results in 9.0, n=1 and E2=-8.96 results in -9.0
28.3.6 Remainder of division
When the remainder function is used, the remainder is returned by the argument.
E1 =mod(E2,E3)
Remarks:
-E1=E2-int(E2:E3)*E3
- If E3 is 0, E2 is returned.
- If E3 is not entered, 1 is assumed.
- The sign is the same as the sign of E1.
Example: E2=5 and E3=3 results in 2, E2=-5 and E3=3 results in –2
28.3.7 Sign
When the sign function is used, the sign is returned.
E1 =sign(E2)
Example: E2=8.9 results in 1, E2=0 results in 0, E2=-8.9 results in -1
Also possible (V429 and higher):
E1=asin(E3,E4) E1=acos(E3,E4) E1=atan(E3,E4) where E2=E3:E4
Remark: - abs(E2) must be less than or equal to 1 for acos and asin.
- the angle created lies between 0° and +360°
28.3.8 Variable parameter no.:
E(value or expression)=<value or expression>
Examples:
E(1)=
E(1.2e1)
E(E1)=
E(E1+E2)=
E(sin(45)*100)=

29.3 Connecting cable for data interfaces
Client must ensure that an external interface cable is being used which is shielded on either side.
If a T-switch is being used, the signal ground and shield must not be connected. Mechanical switch-
over is only permitted to signal lines.
Should any problems be encountered with the data interface, check for the following:
Is a shielded data cable being used?
Does the length of the data line not exceed 15 metres?
Is the machine connected to the machine socket?

29.4 Configuring the Ethernet interface
Note
The MillPlus should be configured by a network specialist.
The MillPlus is fitted with an Ethernet interface to allow the control to be integrated into your network
as a client. The MillPlus transfers data across the Ethernet interface using the TCP/IP protocol
(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) and the NFS (Network File System). TCP/IP and
NFS are widespread in UNIX systems, so you should normally be able to integrate MillPlus into the
UNIX world without having to use additional software.
The PC world with its Microsoft operating systems also uses TCP/IP for networking, but not NFS. You
will therefore need to install some additional software to enable MillPlus to be integrated into a PC
network.
NFS Client in the CNC has been tested with the following network software:
Operating system Network software
Windows NT 4.0 Diskshare NFS server for Windows NT, version 03.02.00.07 (Intergraph, web site:
www.intergraph.com).
Maestro NFS server for Windows NT, version 6.10 (Hummingbird
Communications, web site: http:\\www.hummingbird.com). e-mail:
support@hummingbird.com
Windows 95 Solstice NFS server, a component from the Solstice Network Client for
Windows package, version 3.1 (Sun Microsystems, web site: www.sun.com).
Windows 95/98, NT4.0 Omni-NFS server, (Xlink Technologies Inc., web site: http:\\www.xlink.com).
CimcoNFS server, (CIMCO Integration, web site: http:\\www.cimco.dk).
29.4.1 Ethernet interface connection options
You can connect the MillPlus Ethernet interface to your network using the RJ45 connector (10BaseT).
The connector is galvanically isolated from the control electronics.
RJ45 connector (10BaseT)
Use twisted-pair cables to connect the MillPlus to your network if using the 10BaseT connector.
If using screened cables, the maximum cable run between MillPlus and a node is 400m.
Note
If you connect the MillPlus directly to a PC, crossover cables must be used.

29.4.3 Configure MillPlus Ethernet interface (file tcpip.cfg)
Note
The MillPlus should be configured by a network specialist.
Setting up machine constants:
Mc311=0 DNC Plus (0=off, on=??????)
Mc313=Password NFS Server (0=off, on=??????)
??????=Password
The data connection can be configured using the tcpip.cfg file. The tcpip.cfg file must always be on
the C:\ hard disk. A maximum of one local, four hardware, one service, ten NFS servers and ten DNC
servers can be defined and managed. The language is always English.
The tcpip.cfg file can be modified from the "HEIDENHAIN NUMERIC Service Menu". The Service
menu can be called up while the CNC system is being initialised by pressing the S key on the ASCII
keyboard. Select the tcpip.cfg editor using "TCP/IP configuration". A line should have no more than
128 characters. No distinction is made between upper and lower case characters. A comment line is
indicated by a semicolon ‘;’. Configuration sections can be repeated. A section is defined by a name in
square brackets. ‘[ Name ]’
MISCELLANEOUS

i0 = <irq number>
i1 = <irq number>
i2 = <irq number>
i3 = <irq number>
The parameters i0 to i3 control the allocation of the four interrupt outputs of
the network device to the IRQ lines of the CPU. This is determined by the
CNC hardware. See "Sample tcpip.cfg file".
Irq = <irq number> Defines which IRQ the driver software uses. This number must be one of the
numbers defined through i0 to i3.
Iobase = <iobase address> Setting of the I/O base address of the network device.
Local section
[local] contains the local parameters for the TCP/IP data communications protocol. There may only be
one local section.

to the device name specified in one of hardware sections under
Type_Parameter.
Connector = 10baseT | 10base2 Defines which connection is to be used, 10BaseT (RJ45) or 10Base2 (BNC).
HostName = < network name> The name that the MillPlus uses to log on to the network. Network name:
must contain no more than 17 letters.
If you do not enter a name, the MillPlus will use the Null authentication and
not the normal Unix authentication; the parameters UserId, GroupID,
DirCreateMode and FileCreateMode will be ignored.
IpAddress = <IP address> Address that your network administrator must assign for the MillPlus. Input:
four integer values separated by decimal points (0 to 255). Ask your network
administrator for the number, e.g. 192.168.0.17
SubnetMask = <IP adress mask> The subnet mask used to save on addresses within your network. This
defines how many bits of the 32 bit Internet address are to be used for the
Subnet-ID and how many for the station ident number e.g. 255.255.255.0
defines 24 bits for the subnet number and 8 bits for the station ident number.
Again, ask your network administrator what value to enter.
DefaultRouter = < Router addr> Internet address of your default router. Only to be specified if your neetwork
consists of various subnets. Input: four integer values separated by decimal
points (0 to 255). Ask your network administrator for the number. Enter
0.0.0.0 if your network does not have a router.
Protocol = rfc | ieee Definition of the transmission protocol.
rfc: Ethernet protocol according to RFC 894
ieee: IEEE 802.2/802.3 protocol according to RFC 1042 Default value is 'rfc'.
Timezone = <time zone> The time parameter of files addressed by NFS. Shown in UTC (Universal
Time Coding), commonly known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). The
Timezone parameter indicates the difference between local time and UTC,
e.g. in Frankfurt the local time is UTC+1 (hours), in other words Timezone = -
1.
Default value is -1.
DncPort = <port number>
Defines the port number for the DNC service in both the Mill Plus CNC and
the DNC service of a remote system.
Default port number = 19000
SummerTime = y | n The SummerTime parameter determines whether the system is to switch
automatically from summer to winter time and vice versa.
Default value is y.

29.5 Digitizing
The purpose of digitization is to make the machining program for complex products in a relatively
simple fashion.
To this end, a measuring probe scans an area to be defined in which the product to be reproduced is
located. This measuring probe is linked to an external PC and transmits the coordinates of all contact
points with the product to the PC. The Renishaw Trace software package is run on the PC, which
shows every contact point on the screen, thus scanning the shape.
The second digitization phase is making the machining program. The technological information
required for machining is added to the scanned shape. The pattern is then transformed into a control
program by a machine-dependent postprocessor.
29.5.1 Installation
The basic hardware configuration for the Trace program is shown below.
1 PL79 cable to measuring probe
2 PL84 cable to measurement system
3 Cable from PC to CNC (refer to Installation Manual V320 Part 1,
Chapter "Connection information" cable 11a or 11b)
The machine should also be set to the Digitizing mode. For this purpose, set the CNC to Device 3,
which enables you to use the Xon/Xoff protocol. The following machine constant settings are also
required:
-MC10 (Number of Axes) = 3
-MC303 (Digitizing mode; 0=off, ???????=on) = ???????
-MC775 (Pipelined Digitizing; 0=off, 1=on) = 1
-MC920 (Channel; 0=none, 1=RS232C, 2=RS422) = 1
-MC921 (Baudrate; 110-38400) = 38400
-MC923 (Number of stopbits; 1 or 2) = 2
-MC924 (Leader/Trailer length; 0-120) = 120
-MC925 (Data Carrier; 0=ASCII, 1=ISO, 2=EIA) = 0
-MC926 (Auto Code Recognition; 0=off, 1=on) = 1
-MC927 (Flowcontrol; 0=RTS, 1=RTS-F, 2=Xon) = 2
-MC928 (Check DTR; 0=no, 1=yes) = 0
If an older Trace version is used, set MC921 to 19200.
To enable communication between CNC and PC, the CNC should be in the Digitizing mode.
A holder should be inserted into the spindle before the spindle can be fitted with the measuring probe.
The measuring probe is then mounted in the holder. We recommend that you should not mount the
MISCELLANEOUS
20000710 MillPlus V410 445
measuring probe entirely in the holder, but to retain some clearance. Refer to the Trace instructions
for more details of the mounting procedure.
As a next step, the three links between PC and CNC should be made. Two of these links go from
CNC to PC. For this reason, two cards (CC1 and CC2) have to be inserted into the PC. The
procedure for introducing these cards is set out in the Trace instructions.
The first link goes from the CNC to the CC1 card of the PC via the PL79 cable. As soon as the
measuring probe reaches a contact point with the product, the measuring probe transmits a signal to
this card.
The second link goes from the machine to the CC2 card via the PL84 cable. As soon as the CC1 card
is informed of a contact point being reached, the CC2 card reads out the relevant coordinates. The
standard measures (rulers) of the X, Y and Z axes are the input to this link. The method of linking to
the rulers depends on the specific machine.
The third link goes from PC to CNC. Being a serial link, it is led via the COM1 interface. Where
appropriate, the COM2 connection may also be used; the relevant software settings have to be made
for this purpose. If a serial dongle is used, it must be placed between the serial cable and the COM
interface. The PC transmits commands to the CNC via this link, for instance the command to proceed
when a contact point has been reached.
Note
Refer to the Renishaw Trace documentation and the chapter on activate/execute Program.
