OTHER INFORMATION

This presentation will show you how to create a completely new

VQC Template. You should review the VQC Templates

presentation prior to this one to get a basic understanding of

customizing templates.

This presentation will use an aid called the “Template Builder”. It

is simply a spreadsheet with some grids and code samples to make it a little easier to see how

templates are created.

Open the

“Template Builder” and go to the “Basic” worksheet.

You will notice that there are some basic shapes and sample code that you can alter when creating a custom template.

Let’s say you want to create a template for finishing the ID of a part like that

shown.

First delete the 3 lines indicated. They will not be

needed.

Click on one of the Arcs and then

select Format.

Now Select

“Auto Shape”

From the menu, Select

“Size”

Change

the “Height and Width” to 200%.

You may also have to adjust the height and width to get a arc with a radius of 6 blocks

Repeat this procedure with the second arc.

YDist

XDist

Move the two arcs so they are

centered above and equidistant from the datum.

Move the vertical line so that it

connects the left side of the two

arcs.YDist

You will need to

shorten it a little to make it fit.

“Ctl V” for paste).YDist

You may want to zoom in to see

the objects better.

arcs. YDist

Move it to the position shown.

Now, similarly move the other

arrow line.

Then move “YDist” to the cell between the two

arrows.

This will probably be enough of a drawing for our

part. When we get to the G-code,

however, we may discover that we

need to add something, so we won’t delete the

unused lines just yet.

In this view, the colors of the

segments in the drawing have

been matched to the code that

applies to each segment. Your next task will be to determine the

end points for each segment and create the

code.

Next, look at the location of the

datum. Using the numbers along the bottom and right side of the graph, you can

see that it’s center is at: 19,17.

Change the orange DATUM code to: [19,17])

(END DIAGRAM)


(END PARAMETERS)

Look at this line. You should see

that it’s end points are: 13,10

and 13,24.

Similarly, you will need to find the end points

for each segment of the

template drawing and create the

code.

YDist

Using these points (13,10 &

13,24) change the blue code for LINE

The code should read: (LINE[13,10]

[13,24]). The parentheses and

brackets are important. Each line

of code must be enclosed in

parentheses. Coordinates are

placed within brackets.

(END PARAMETERS)

Now create the code for the second line.

You should have found that it’s end points are: 25,10 and 25,24. Notice

that the Y coordinates are the

same as the previous line.

Copy the code for the first line but

change the X coordinates

Now let’s do the arcs. For an arc you

need to define a radius as well as

end points. What is the radius and end points for the top

arc?

End Points: 13,24 and 25,24

You should note that theses are the

same as the endpoints of the two

lines.

Radius: 6

(END DIAGRAM)


(END PARAMETERS)

Change the green code for arc (CW)

to match the coordinates and

radius.

You should have (CW[13,24] [25,24]). This direction (CW) has nothing to do

with the actual tool movement. It is

simply the direction from the first point

to the second point.

(END DIAGRAM)


(END PARAMETERS)

Looking at the other arc we see that it’s

end points are: 13,10 and 25,10 (the beginning points of

the two lines). Therefore we need

the following line of code:

(CW[25,10][13,10]).Or

(CCW[13,10][25,10]).

Enter the code (CW[25,10][13,10])

after the other arc.

(END PARAMETERS)

Next let’s work on the arrows. They are similar to lines in that you need a

start and end point, however it is more important which point you

list first. The arrowhead will be

at the second point. The

coordinates for each of the three arrows are shown

at the right.

Now add the code for the small lines at

the end of the arrows. Their end

points are:

18,24 / 20,24

26,24 / 28,24 and

26,10 / 28,10.

The code is shown on the next slide.

This completes the code for the

placed in the PARAMETER

section, which we will cover next.

If you wanted to enter some other text in the diagram, you would use a PRINT statement and give the coordinates for

where you want the text to begin. For example:(PRINT[18,15] G54)

(#ToolNo) (NO DECIMAL) (#WrkOfset) (NO DECIMAL) (#XPos) (#YPos) (#SpdleRpm ) (NO DECIMAL) (#DpthCut) (#YDist) (POSITION [35,16]) (#Feedrate)

(END PARAMETERS)

Here is the sample code for the

PARAMETER section. The lines indicated are pretty standard and will

not need to be modified for this

example. You could however,

have some standard numbers for Tool Number,

Work Offset, Rpm, or Feedrate instead

of requiring the operator to input

these.

We won’t need the operator to input

an X or Y position, so you can delete

those lines.

(PARAMETERS)

(#ToolNo) (NO DECIMAL) (#WrkOfset) (NO DECIMAL) (#XPos) (#YPos) (#SpdleRpm ) (NO DECIMAL) (#DpthCut) (#YDist) (POSITION [35,16]) (#Feedrate)

(END PARAMETERS)

To make the required input

clearer, you should change “DpthCut” to

“Zdepth”.

(PARAMETERS)

(#ToolNo) (NO DECIMAL) (#WrkOfset) (NO DECIMAL)

(#SpdleRpm ) (NO DECIMAL) (#DpthCut) (#YDist) (POSITION [35,16]) (#Feedrate)

(END PARAMETERS)

You will also need to change the coordinates or POSITION of

“YDist”.

On the graph, you can see that

“YDist” starts at location 26,17.

This is what you will need to put in the POSITION line.

Note: There must be a space between “POSITION” and the

bracket.

Another piece of information we

need the operator to input is the

radius of the arcs. So, you will need

to add a PARAMETER for

“Radius”.

Also, since “Radius” shows on the template,

you also will need to add a

“POSITION” statement. The coordinates for

“Radius” are 17,23.

At this point, you may want to

create a program to make the cut

for the part (if you don’t already have one). Here is an example of how

we might write the code for this part.

You now have to determine what information the

operator will provide and what you will need to calculate.

The underlined codes at the right will not vary so we

will not need variables for these.

(END PARAMETERS)

Compare the code to your list of

PARAMETERS. We first see that the operator will need to input a

tool number represented by

the variable “#ToolNo”.

Change the code “T1” to

“T#ToolNo”. The statement “NO DECIMAL” indicates that the operator’s input for #ToolNo will be interpreted as a whole integer.

Add percent signs at the top and

bottom of the file and add a program

VQC for PC

Test your program using the Template Checker in VQC for

PC.

Select the Program dropdown and then

select VQC Template Checker.

You can enter the name of your file

in the “TEMPLATE

NAME” block or press F3 for a

directory.

Press <F3>.

Template Checker

Scroll through the directory and

find your file name.

Press <Enter> to select the file.

The file will now appear in the

block for “TEMPLATE

NAME”. Press <Enter> to run the Checker.

N2000.TXT

If there is an error, it will show what the error is

and the line number where it is located. It will not show all the errors at once.

Make corrections with a text editor (there is a menu selection for one

in the VQC for PC) and run the checker again.

Before you run the checker again on an edited file, make sure you have closed the file in the text editor.

If everything is O.K. you will

get this message. Close the

window by pressing

<ESC> and return to the

basic program.

Press <F2> to select your new template. Arrow down until you

find it and press <Enter>.

N2000.txt

You should see your template name on the

right.

Press <Enter>

You should see the template

diagram in the left corner and the name at the

bottom right.

Press <Enter>

Look at the template diagram

and make sure everything looks right. If you need

to make adjustments (like the length of the arrow) make the corrections in a text editor and

run the template again.

Once you are satisfied with

how the template looks, enter some

data and check the program

output. Then try it out on a Control in

Graphics Mode.

Instead of using the “Template Builder”, you could just draw a sketch on some graph paper, or use a drawing or CAD

program. Making the drawing on a graph will help you to plot the points. You could

then use the sample program in this presentation or the Manual to help you

construct the necessary code.
