• Its range of axis motion is: X=18.0 Y=11.9 Z=4.9 inches.
• It has a 2 HP motor, with about 80% (1.6 HP) available at the spindle.
• The origin can be established anywhere desired and moved to another location
whenever desired.
• It can execute loops and macros—or subroutines—nested up to 8 levels deep.
• It can operate in either the incremental positioning mode or absolute
positioning mode you can go back-and-forth between these modes. It defaults
to absolute mode.
• It can cut angular paths (linear interpolation) in the X-Y, X-Z, Y-Z, and X-Y-Z
planes.
• It can cut circular paths (circular interpolation) in the X-Y, X-Z and Y-Z planes
and perform thread milling (helical interpolation).
• It can operate in either metric or inch units.
• It has canned X-Y axis cycles for circular pocket and rectangular pocket
milling.
• It has canned Z-axis cycles for drilling, peck drilling, boring, and
countersinking, counterboring, or spotfacing.
• It can be programmed in either Cartesian (X-Y-Z) or polar coordinates.

• Will accept tool length offsets (TLOs) thru either numerical data or by
digitizing.
• Geometry can be rotated about the origin to any desired angle.
• It can scale a part up or down—make it larger or smaller.
• It has cutter compensation capability to permit the use of undersize or oversize
cutters.
• It can store 3100 blocks or 32 programs; no program can contain >1000 blocks.
Programming Formats
The Heidenhain controller can be programmed in either of two formats:
1. the ISO format--otherwise called the RS-274-D, EIA-274, or G-Code format;

and
2. the "conversational" format, a somewhat more intuitive and flexible format
than the ISO format but more sensitive to spelling and other syntax errors from
off-line programming. Therefore, the ISO format will be explained herein.
The following chapters list most of the factors that you must consider when writing a
program for the Bridgeport/Heidenhain Mill. They will show you step-by-step
procedures for utilizing loops, macros, canned cycles, circular interpolation, and tool
length offsets (TLOs). Instructions are also given for manual data input (MDI) and
program input and output via the computer.

Circular Interpolation
Absolute/Incremental Format Problem
The Heidenhain rearranges the elements in circular/arc blocks such that the I and J
elements occur before the G02/G03 and G90/G91 commands
From
Nnnn G02 G91 Xnnn Ynnn Innn Jnnn
To
Nnnn Innn Jnnn G02 G90 Xnnn Ynnn
This causes no problem if the program is written entirely in the absolute (G90) mode
or entirely in the incremental (G91) mode. But when linear moves are written in the
G90 mode and arc moves in the G91 mode (or vise-versa), problems arise.
In the rearranged format, the G02/G03 and G90/G91 commands follow the I & J
elements and are then in turn followed by the X & Y elements. If the previous block
was absolute (G90), it will evaluate the I & J elements as being absolute, then read
the G91 command and then evaluate the following X & Y elements as being
incremental. An error message results.
For example, consider the following EIA-274-D program statements.

All comments ('$' and subsequent characters) must be removed

N50 M25 $ Retract quill
N60 M02 $ Rewind memory
N70 %501 G70 $ End of program
The controller rearranges line N40 so that the program appears thus:
N40 I+0 J-0.3 G02 G91 X+0.2457 Y-0.4721 $ Incr arc
Note that the controller will still be in the absolute (G90) mode (from the prior block)
as it reads sequence N40's I & J elements, not changing its positioning mode to
incremental until it reads the G91, which now occurs after the I & J elements. Then it
will interpret the X & Y elements (occurring after the G91) as being incremental.
Hence, to the controller, the statement comes out as a mix of absolute and
incremental data, which is both confusing and illegal.
The Solution
Insert a G91 command in a block all by itself, just ahead of each incremental arc
command thus:
N35 G91 $ Set positioning mode to incremental
N40 I+0 J-0.3 G02 G91 X+0.2457 Y-0.4721 $ Incremental arc
In this manner, the positioning mode will have already been set to incremental when
sequence N40's I & J elements are read. (The G91 in sequence N40 is now redundant,
but harmless.)

The "G79" activates the drill cycle. The "M03" is required to activate the spindle
(even though it is already turning).
Rectangular Pocket Milling
This cycle assumes the cutter is initially placed over the center of the pocket and at
some clearance distance (typically 0.100 inch) above the top of the pocket. Then the
cycle will take over from that point, plunging the cutter down to the "peck depth" and
feeding the cutter around the pocket in ever increasing increments until the final size
is attained. The process is repeated until the desired total depth is attained. Then the
cutter is returned to the center of the pocket at the clearance height.
The overall length and width of the pocket, rather than the distance of cutter motion,
are programmed into this cycle. The controller must be told what the cutter radius is
in the tool definitation statement.
The amount of stepover for each go-around of the cutter is calculated by the
controller and cannot be specified by the programmer.
Use this cycle for rouging out pockets. There is no provision for a light finish pass for
the final go-around. Likewise, there is no provision for corner radii (other than the
cutter's radius), nor for a downfeed ramp. Hence it is wise to leave the pocket
undersize, and then program individual axis moves to finish the pocket.

Program • A call statement is used in the main program—or it can be "nested" within
another subroutine "label"—to execute a subroutine label.

Ln.r (again, no G98)
where the "n" = the label number and the "r" = the number of repeats, not executions.
• The "r" is usually set at one less than the total executions because the loop "r"
counter is not read until the cycle has been initially executed once. Then the "r"
counter, located at the end of the loop, is read. The loop is exited when the "r"
counter reads zero.

Tool length offsets (TLOs) amount to nothing more than the jog distance the Z-axis
Subroutines must travel from its fully retracted position to the position where the cutter makes

contact with a Z-zero reference surface (usually the top surface of the workpiece).
Console This is accomplished by "touching off" each cutter on the reference surface (using a

3. When a syntax or programming error is encountered, an error message will be
displayed. Most messages are self-explanatory. If you don't understand the
message, refer to the error message section of the Heidenhain Operating
Manual.
4. Ultimately, if no errors are encountered, the CRT will redisplay the first block

BÿCK TO TOP
Going for broke
1. Clean, stone, and wipe down the table.

2. Clean, stone, and wipe down the vise, quick mount base plate, or workpiece
thoroughly.
3. Mount the vise, quick mount base or workpiece on the table and clamp
securely.
4. Indicate in the vise's fixed jaw or the quick mount base plate to within 0.001"
runout.
5. If using the quick mount system, clean, stone (as appropriate), and wipe down
the carrier (top) plate. Secure the carrier plate to the base plate using two ball
locks. Tighten the Allen screws securely.
6. If this is not a production run of a proven part (i.e., it is a test of a student
generated program), do not install any cutters into the spindle.
7. Note where all clamps, if used, are located. Make sure the program will not
send the cutter into the clamps. If necessary, relocate the clamps or modify
the program.
8. "Float" the X-Y origin to the desired location using an edge finder or dial
indicator as described in Chapter 2.
9. Mount the cutters in their holders and set the tool length offsets as described in
Chapter 7.
Precautions
Run the program through twice without cutters installed to see if it looks like
everything is going where its supposed to go.
1. The first time through use the single block mode. Press the RUN SINGLE
BLOCK key.
2. Second time through use the continuous run mode. Press the RUN
CONTINUOUS key.
• Note the dial reading on the knee dial. Drop the knee down a sufficient
distance so that no cutter will contact the workpiece. Record the distance. Then
run the program through in the continuous or single-block mode as you choose.
If everything looks OK, then raise the knee back to its former position.
• It is always wise to first run a dummy part in wood or machinable wax—just in
case an error remains.
• After running the first genuine workpiece, perform a First Article Inspection
Report, measuring each dimension and comparing it to the print dimension and
tolerance. Make any necessary adjustments to the program and/or setup. Then
run and check another piecepart. Once a good part is obtained, the rest of the
run will be just like it.

1. The program number can be any number between 01 and 499;

1. EXCEPTION: Circular/arc path (see below).

• Example program structure.

D = Parameter definition (program variable parameter Q)

G = Preparatory functions (G-codes)

H = Polar coordinate angle

I = X coordinate of circle/arc center or pole

L = Set (Define) label (subroutine/loop) number with G98 preface

M = Miscellaneous (auxiliary) codes.

P = Machining canned cycle parameter

Q = Program parameter (variable) "Q"

R = Polar coordinate radius

T = Tool definition with G99 preface (TLOs)

RETURN = End of block (EOB).

G00 = One- or two-axis rapid travel move.

* G29 = Designate current position as pole location

M-codes are acted on first/last as appropriate

M03 = Spindle on CW (first)

Absolute/Incremental Format Problem

For example, consider the following EIA-274-D program statements.

%501 G70 $ Program # & inch units

J Scaling ISO format syntax and parameter values

P02 = TOTAL Z-STROKE (Incremental; MUST be negative!)

P03 = Peck increment (set @ P02 value for no peck)

P04 = Dwell (sec) Set at zero.

Activate the drill cycle with:
