The machining center control panel is something that every CNC worker must come into contact with. Let’s see what these buttons mean.
The red button is the emergency stop button. When this switch is pressed, the machine tool stops, usually in an emergency or unexpected conditions.
Start from the far left. The basic meaning of the four buttons is
1 Automatic program operation refers to automatic program operation during program processing. In this state, the operator only has to tighten the product and then press the program start button.
2The second is the program edit button. Mainly used when editing programs
3 The third is MDI mode, mainly used for manual entry of short codes such as S600M3.
4DNC mode is mainly used for online machining
These four buttons from left to right are
1 Program zero button, used for zeroing operation
2. Fast moving mode Press this key and match the corresponding axis to move quickly.
3. Slow feed Press this key and the machine tool will move slowly accordingly.
4 steering wheel button, press this button to operate the steering wheel
These four buttons are from left to right
1 Single block execution, press this key and the program will stop after a period of execution.
2. Program segment skip command When there is a / symbol in front of some program segments, if you press this key, that program will not be executed.
3. Select Stop. When there is M01 in the program, press this key and the code will work.
4 manual demonstration instructions
1Program restart button
2. Machine tool lock control Press this key and the machine tool will be locked and will not move. for debugging
3. Dry run, typically used in conjunction with machine tool lock control for debugging programs.
The left switch adjusts the feed speed. On the right is the spindle speed adjustment button
From left to right there is the cycle start button, program pause and MOO program stop.
This represents the corresponding pin. Generally, machine tools do not have 5 or 6 axes. can be ignored
Used to control the movement of the machine tool. Pressing the button will fast forward.
The sequence is spindle forward rotation, spindle stop, and spindle reverse rotation.
There is no need to explain the number and alphabetical panel, it is like a cell phone and a computer keyboard.
The POS key means coordinate system. Press this key to view the relative and absolute coordinates of the machine tool coordinate system.
ProG is a program key. Corresponding program operations should usually be carried out by pressing this key.
OFFSETSETTING is used to set the tool points in the coordinate system.
Shift is the Shift key
CAN is the cancel key. If you enter a wrong command, you can press this key to cancel it.
IUPUT is the entry key. This key is required for general data entry and parameter entry.
SYETEM system key. Mainly used to display system settings
The MESSAGE is primarily an informational prompt
CUSTOM graphics setting control
ALTEL is the surrogate key, used to replace instructions in the program.
Insert is the insert statement used to insert program code.
delete is mainly used to delete code
The RESET button is very important. It is mainly used to reset, stop programs and stop certain instructions.
The buttons have basically been explained and you need to practice more on site to get familiar with them.
