SINUMERIK 840D sl Operation/Programming ShopTurn (BAT) – 08/2005 Edition
The "Teach" function enables you to program and execute machining
steps while simultaneously creating a subroutine for other workpieces.
The procedure for different variants of the teaching is described in the
following:

Teaching cycles

Teaching position samples

Teaching contour objects
Each machining step is taught according to the following example:
1. Creating a program
You create a new program and set the program header (see
"Creating a new program").
2. Creating a machining step
You define a machining step (see "Creating program blocks").
3. Accepting the machining step
Save the values with the "Accept" softkey. The parameter mask is
closed and the work plan is displayed.
4. Execution
Position the cursor on the program step and press the "Execute"
softkey.
A block search is automatically triggered.
5. NC Start
Fit the tool with "Cycle Start", and then start machining using the
"Cycle Start" key.
Program the next machining step the same way if the machining
provided the desired results, or repeat steps 2 through 5 for the
program block.
You can simulate machining before every execution in order to control
the machining results.
