CHAPTER 1 - PART PROGRAM LANGUAGE INTRODUCTION A part program is an ordered set of instructions which define slide and spindle motion as well as auxiliary functions. These instructions are written in a part program language consisting of a series of data blocks. Each data block contains adequate information for the machine tool to perform one or more machine functions. A data block consists of one or more data words, which are treated together as a unit. Each data word consists of a word address followed by a numerical value. A word address is a letter which specifies the meaning of the data word. The value of the number that follows the word address has a format which specifies the number of characters the word contains as well as the range these values must fall within. These formats are outlined in each of the data word descriptions and are also listed in the tables on pages 1-2 and 1-3. PROGRAMMING THE GE FANUC 18T CONTROL Programming Hardinge CONQUEST T42 series lathes equipped with the GE Fanuc 18T control requires an understanding of the machine, tooling, and control. Extreme care must be exercised when writing a part program or punching a tape since all machine movements will be executed as programmed. A miscalculation or selection of an incorrect function can result in an incorrect motion. The basic unit for part program input is the Block. Normally, one line or block of information represents one describable operation or several describable operations that are independent of each other. (For example, axis movement and spindle speed changes are independent operations which may be programmed in the same block.) A block may contain any or all of the following: 1. Slash code (/) 2. Sequence number (N Function) 3. Preparatory Functions (G Functions) 4. Axis Movement Instructions (X or U, Y or V, and Z or W Functions) 5. Feedrate Command (F Function) 6. Spindle Speed Command (S Function) 7. Turret Station (T Function) 8. Miscellaneous Functions (M Functions) A block MUST contain a valid End of Block character. M-320A 1-1
