    GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

    WARNING

    1 Before attempting to use a conversational function (such as the creation/editing/run of

    machining programs, machining simulation, and the measurement of tool compensation),

    close the doors of the machine, and apply any other safety measures deemed necessary.

    Failure to apply the necessary safety precautions may result in the serious injury, or even death,

    of the user or bystanders.

    2. Before proceeding to the next step of a procedure, check the display on the screen carefully to

    ensure that the data has been entered exactly as intended.

    If the machine is operated with incorrect data, the tool may collide with the machine and/or

    workpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, or even injury to the user or

    bystanders.

    3. When the tool compensation function is being used before starting the machine, check the

    direction and amount of compensation so that the tool will not collide with the workpiece or

    machine.

    If the tool collides with the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be

    damaged, plus there is the danger of injury to the user or bystanders.

    4. After you create a machining program using a conversational function, do not operate the

    machine using that program immediately. Instead, perform a machining simulation to ensure

    that the tool path and machining operation are satisfactory and that the tool will not collide with

    the workpiece or machine (including the jig).

    If the tool collides with the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be

    damaged, plus there is the danger of injury to the user or bystanders.

    5. After you convert a machining program, created using a conversational function, to NC

    program format, do not operate the machine using that program immediately. Instead, confirm

    every step of the NC program, and ensure that the tool path and machining operation are

    satisfactory and that the tool will not collide with the workpiece or machine (including the jig).

    Before starting production machining, operate the machine without a workpiece mounted toensure that the tool will not collide with the workpiece (were it to be mounted) or the machine

    (including the jig).

    If the tool collides with the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be

    damaged, plus there is the danger of injury to the user or bystanders.

    6. Before starting to create a machining program using a conversational function, first check that

    all required data within the tool file, cutting condition file, and pretool list, and all parameters

    required for the conversational function, is set correctly.

    If any of the required data is not set correctly, the cutting conditions will not be set correctly,

    possibly resulting in damage to the tool, or even injury to the user or bystanders.

    WARNING

    7.When you operate the machine using a machining program created using a conversationalfunction or a machining program generated by converting another machining program to NC

    program format, be particularly careful to use the correct tool compensation data.

    If the machine is used with incorrect data, the tool may collide with the machine and/or

    workpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, or even injury to the user or

    bystanders.The method of measuring the tool compensation amount varies depending on the

    machine tool builder. Before starting measurement, therefore, users must read and become

    totally familiar with the relevant manual(s), supplied by the machine tool builder.

    8. After pressing the power ON button, do not touch any key on the keyboard until the screen

    display appears. Some keys are allocated to maintenance or other special operations. Pressing

    any of these keys may result in the machine not behaving as expected.

    1. MANUAL OVERVIEWThis manual describes the functions of FANUC Super CAPi M.

    For the other functions, refer to the operators manual describing the NC of the FANUC Series 16/18/21.

    The specifications and use of FANUC Super CAPi M depend on the specifications of the machine operators

    manual. Be sure to refer to the manual written by the machine tool builder.

    The functions of a CNC machine tool system are determined not only by the CNC but also by the combination

    of the machine, power magnetics circuit, servo system, CNC, operators panel, and other units.

    It is impossible to explain the functions, programming, and operations for each of the combinations.

    This manual describes the conversational input functions of the CNC. For the functions of each CNC machine

    tool, refer to the manual written by the machine tool builder.

    FANUC Super CAPi M are compatible with the following models. These model names are abbreviated in this

    manual.

    Product name Abbreviation

    FANUC Series 16iMA 16iMA

    FANUC Series 18iMA 18iMAFANUC Series 21iMA 21iMA

    FANUC Series 16iMB 16iMB

    FANUC Series 18iMB 18iMB

    FANUC Series 21iMB 21iMB

    FANUC Super CAPi M consist of custom macro programs. In addition to standard custom macroinstructions, many conversational macro instructions (for example, a macro instruction for drawing) areprovided.

    FANUC separately provides the FANUC standard program, a conversational automatic programmingfunction created from custom macro programs by FANUC. (The FANUC standard program can be pur-chased as a ROM module.) By adding to and modifying the custom macro program of the FANUC stan-

    dard program, and each machine tool builder can create his own conversational automatic program-ming function incorporating the machining knowhow.

    This manual describes the conversational automatic programming function provided by FANUC. Thespecifications depend on each machine tool builder. Ask the machine tool builder beforehand whetherthey have added to or modified the standard function.

    The description in the manual written by the machine tool builder has priority over that in this manual.

    This manual gives a lot of information to the reader. It, however, cannot detail all the operations that must not

    be attempted or cannot be executed.

    The system can execute only functions that are explicitly said to be possible in this manual.

    Notes in this manual describe particular conditions in minute detail. The note may include terms which have

    not yet been explained. If such terms are found, skip the note and read the remaining part of the manual. Then,

    read the note again.

    Before starting to create a machining program using a conversational function, first check thatall required data within the tool file, cutting condition file, and pretool list, is set correctly.If any of the required data is not set correctly, the cutting conditions will not be set correctly, possi-bly causing damage to the tool, or even injury to the user or bystanders.

    Before proceeding to the next step of a procedure, carefully check the contents of the screendisplay to ensure that the data has been entered exactly as intended.If the machine is operated with incorrect data, the tool may collide with the machine and/or work-piece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, or even injury to the user or bystand-ers.

    1. OVERVIEW OF Super CAPi M

    1.1 Work Overview

    Conversational automatic programming is a technique for creating machining programs by entering the dimen-

    sions of drawings and other data on the CRT screen.

    To use the conversational automatic programming function, press the key on the MDI panel, then

    press the soft key [C.A.P.]. (The [C.A.P.] key is displayed on the screen only when the NC unit is in the EDIT

    or BGEDIT mode.)

    The menu screen shown below (basic menu screen) is displayed. Conversational programming begins with

    the basic menu screen.

    In general conversational programming, select menus 1 to 4 in that order. Menu 8 is used to reference or set

    a conversational file or to input or output data from or to external equipment. Select menu 8 only when required.Before using the following menu, set the NC unit in the corresponding mode:

    [1] Creating and editing a machining program : EDIT or BGEDIT mode

    [2] Optimizing a machining program : EDIT or BGEDIT mode

    [3] Checking a machining program : AUTO mode

    [4] NC program conversion : AUTO mode

    [8] Conversational data : The mode of the NC unit does not matter.

    The following sections describe each menu with examples.

    The machining programs presented in the following examples differ from those used for actualmachining. Actual data will vary from one machine model to another. Refer to the relevantmanual(s), supplied by the machine tool builder, for details.If the set data is incompatible with the characteristics of a specific machine, a machining program

    created using the conversational function will not be able to operate as intended.If a machining program fails to operate correctly, the tool may collide with the workpiece, or themachine may be forced to perform machining that exceeds its physical capabilities, possiblycausing damage to the tool and/or machine, or even injury to the user or bystanders.
