4.1 Machine mode of operation
The Machine mode of operation includes all functions for machine
setup, workpiece machining, and Teach-in program definition.
Machine setup: For preparations like setting axis values
(defining workpiece datum), measuring tools or setting the
protection zone
Manual mode: Machine a workpiece manually or semi-
automatically
Teach-in submode: "Teach-in" a new cycle program, change an
existing program, or graphically simulate cycles
Program run submode: Graphically simulate existing cycle
programs or smart.Turn programs and use them for the
production of parts
You can produce a part in the usual manner by moving the axes
with the handwheels and jog controls, just like on a conventional
lathe. In most cases, however, it is much more convenient to use
the cycles offered by MANUALplus.
A Teach-in cycle is a machining step that has already been
programmed for you. This can be any machining operation from a
single cut through to a complex machining task like thread cutting.
In any case, a cycle is always a complete machining step that is
immediately executable once you have defined a few parameters
that describe the workpiece to be machined.
In Machine mode of operation, cycles are not saved. In Teach-in
submode, each machining step is executed with a cycle and then
stored and integrated into a complete Teach-in program. You can
subsequently use this Teach-in program in parts production by
repeating it as often as desired in Program run submode.
In ICP programming, any contour can be defined using linear/
circular elements and transition elements (chamfers, rounding arcs,
undercuts). You include the contour description in ICP cycles.

You write smart.Turn and DIN programs in smart.Turn mode
of operation. The DIN programming feature provides you with
commands for simple traversing movements, DIN cycles for
complex machining tasks, switching functions, mathematical
operations and programming with variables.
You can either create independent programs that already contain
all necessary switching and traversing commands and are executed
in Program run submode, or program DIN subprograms that
are integrated in Teach-in cycles. The commands that you use in
a DIN subprogram depend on the job at hand. DIN subprograms
support the complete range of commands that is available for DIN
programs.
You can also convert Teach-in programs to smart.Turn programs.
This enables you to make use of straightforward Teach-in
programming and then optimize or complete the NC program
following conversion into DIN format.
