1.1.1 Work sequence
Two typical working situations are considered separately in this Guide.
You want to execute a program for the purpose of automatically
machining a workpiece.
You want to create the program to be used for machining a
workpiece.
Program: Execute
Before you execute a program, you have to set up your machine. To
do this, you must perform the following actions, during which you will
be supported by ShopTurn (see Sec. "Setting up the Machine"):
approach the reference point of the machine
(only for incremental position measuring systems)
gauge the tools
define the workpiece zero
enter any other work offsets
If you have completely set up the machine, you can select a program
and automatically execute it (see Sec. "Machining a Workpiece").
Creating a program
If you create a new program, you can select whether you would like to
make a sequential control program or a G-code program (see
"Creating a Sequential Control Program" or "G-code Program").
When creating a sequential control program, ShopTurn prompts you
to input all relevant parameters. Programming progress is
automatically indicated in a dashed-line diagram. Help screens that
explain the parameters in each operation also support you with
programming.
You can, of course, also insert G code commands in a sequential
control program.
A G code program, however, must be created entirely out of G code
commands.
