2. 1 G code programming with ShopTurn
If you do not want to program with the ShopTurn functionality, you can
generate G code programs with G code commands in the ShopTurn user
interface. G code commands can be programmed as per DIN 66025.
Note:
The creation of chained sequention programs is discussed in detail in the
module - B601 - „Basics of programming with ShopTurn".
With the G code programming in ShopTurn with the programGUIDE, pa-
rameter masks guide you in the process of measuring, programming of
contours, as well as drilling, turning and milling cycles.
From within the parameter masks, G code will be generated, which can
also be translated back into the parameter masks.
The following functions support the programming of G code programs:
Technology oriented program step selection (cycles) using softkeys
Input masks and -windows for parameters, with animated help graphics
Context sensitive online help for every input mask and window
Comfortable definition of the blank
Support for the contour input (geometric processor)
ShopTurn programs can be represented in different views:
As a work plan showing the call up of the tool, path commands, revolu-
tion settings, spindle data, feed, cycle calls, the program end, etc.
