Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing the Auto Programming System for BE12/20V, BM16/20EV (hereinafter called BE-V Abile). Needless to say, the NC machine tool uses the NC program for machining workpieces. Even when the machine is highly accurate and functional, it is indispensable to create the NC program in order to bring out its capacity thoroughly. Assuming that you are the specialist in small-lot machining, you may know the time required for machining actual products may be very short compared to the time required for creating the NC program. And you may always be seeking means for reducing non-machining time required for creating the NC program, etc. Tsugami has been investigating the same issue. We are confident that the BE-V Abile will solve this issue and contribute to the improvement in productivity. Although this manual contains a lot of information about Dos and Donts, it is not possible to describe them fully. Therefore, anything not stated as Possible in this Manual should be considered Impossible. If any question or doubt arises, contact the following: TSUGAMI Corporation Phone: 0258-35-0850 Fax: 0258-36-5024(G3), 31-1379(G4)

As shown in the program flow (before being edited) created in the 3.1 Make Program Flow, there is a PREPARE TOOL flow before the cutting program flow. The cutting program flow and PREPARE TOOL need to be a pair. This is because no tool is prepared in the cutting program flow so that a tool always needs to be prepared before the cutting program flow. As an exception, PREPARE TOOL is not required when a required tool for cutting is prepared in advance. Note this point before proceeding to 3.7.2 Change of Program Flow Sequence.

Editing of Tool Assignment Priority

Editing of tool assignment priority is to set which tool is to be assigned by priority for the shape of workpiece when creating the flow data. That is, this indicates the relationship between the tooling data and work shape data.
A table of shape data is displayed on the left. When "Front inner drill" is selected, for example, the following data is displayed on the right of the screen.
When "Front inner drill" is created for defining the shape of workpiece, the flow data is created to use the tools displayed on the right. Tools displayed on the upper part are high on the list of priorities. That is, when Front inner drill is created for setting the workpiece, an error occurs in Make Program Flow unless any of the tools displayed on the right is already set for the tool. There are conditions of assignment so that set detailed data in the procedure below.

4.4.1
Editing of Existing Data

Data already set can be changed. The following is an example of changing the front inner center. Each item indicates as below. (Example) Front inner Center Select "Front inner center" from the table of shapes. Conditions of assigning tools for this shape are listed below.
(1) Tool Priority is established in the following order: FRONT CENTER -FIXED- FRONT CENTER -HOLDER- FRONT CENTER -ROTARY(2) Process When the tool FRONT CENTER FIXED- is assigned to the work shape pattern Front inner center, the flow data named "RONT SIDE CENTER FIXED- "s created as below: Work shape: Front inner Center + Tooling: FRONT CENTER FIXED- Process: FRONT SIDE CENTER -FIXED(3) Angle Input conditions of the angle. In case of "Work = Tool", the angle input for defining the shape and the angle input for setting the tool need to be identical. When using the center tool, the angle for setting the tool needs to be 90 if the angle for defining the shape is set to 90. This indicates that no tool can be assigned to the shape unless conditions are satisfied. (4) Width Input conditions of the width. Front inner center can be selected unconditionally. In case of grooving, this setting is used for the grooving tool width. (5) Diameter Input conditions of the diameter. In case of Work Tool, the diameter input for setting the workpiece needs to be identical to or smaller than the diameter input for setting the tool. When using a drill, the diameter needs to be based on Shape = Tool. (6) Inclination Input conditions of the inclination. When drilling a hole in the diagonal direction, the tool inclination needs to be identical as input for setting the workpiece. (7) Slide Input conditions of the tool post to mount the tool.
