1.3 Home search.
THEORY ON CNC MACHINES.
When the CNC is off, the axes may be moved manually or unintentionally. When that happens, the CNC loses the actual position of the axes, that's why it is recommended (although not necessary) to do a "home search" when the turning the CNC on. With this operation, the tool moves to a point set by the manufacturer and the CNC synchronizes its position assuming the coordinates set by the manufacturer for that point, referred to machine reference zero.

Machine reference: It is the point to which the tool moves in a home search.
NOTE: With the new feedback devices (distance-coded reference marks - Io -), it is possible to know the position of the axes by just moving them a very short distance. This does away with the concept of machine reference.

1.4 Travel limits.
This type of machines have two types of travel limits:
• Physical limits. They are set by the machine to prevent the carriages from going off its ways (cams and mechanical stops).
• CNC limits. They are set by the manufacturer at the CNC to prevent the carriages from running into the physical travel limits.

1.5 Setting the part zero.
THEORY ON CNC MACHINES.
The part zero is set on all three axes.
When machining several parts, the distance from machine reference zero (O
M
) to the part is different for each of them.
It would require running a program for each part. When programming from a part zero (O
P
), it is irrelevant where the part is fixed.
Programming gets complicated when done from the machine reference zero (O
M
) and it is only good for that part in that position. When programming from a part zero (O
P
), the part dimensions may be obtained from the blueprint.

2.1 The tool change.
The tools to be used by the CNC may be located in a magazine of the machine. Depending on whether the machine has a magazine or not, the tool change will be done differently:
• If the machine does not have a tool magazine, the tools must be changed manually (line on a conventional machine).
• If the machine has a tool magazine, the CNC will change the tools automatically.

2.2 The tool table.
THEORY ON TOOLS.
This table keeps the data related to the tools. When changing a tool, the CNC assumes the data defined in the table for that tool.
The data included in the table is:
• ·T· Tool number.
• ·D· Offset associated with the tool.
The offset defines the tool dimensions.
2
·L· Tool length.
·R· Tool radius.
·J· Tool radius wear.
·K· Tool length wear.
• Nominal life.
Machining time or the number of operations that the tool can carry out.
• Real life.

·N· Normal tool.
·S· Special tool.
Tool status.
·A· Available tool.
·E· Expired tool (worn out, "real life" > "nominal life").
·R· Tool rejected by the PLC.
When requesting an expired (worn out) or rejected tool, the CNC looks for a tool that belongs to the same family. If there is one, it will select it and if not, it will show the corresponding error message.

2.3 Tool calibration.
THEORY ON TOOLS.
Tool calibration is the operation the CNC uses to define the dimensions of the tool. It is very important to carry out this operation properly so the parts are made with the right dimensions and so when changing the tool the CNC keeps controlling the same point.

PRIOR CONSIDERATIONS.
This chapter shows an example of how to write a partprogram.
Remember that the tool number may be different depending on the machine. The tools used in this example are:
T1: End mill Ø40.
T2: End mill Ø25.
T3: End mill Ø10.
T4: Center punching drill bit.
T5: Drill Ø8.
T7: Tap M-6.
T6: Drill bit Ø5.
The spindle speed and feedrate are approximate, they may be different from the ones shown here.
