Selecting Machining Mode

NK300HF Integrated CNC System supports the following three machining modes:

  • Array Machining

    Used to generate complex machining program so as to improve efficiency. And it is suitable to workpiece arranged regularly.

  • Cycle Machining

    Used to complete all actions of machining with a program block under auto mode.

  • Program Task

    Used to put several tool paths into a task.

Array Machining

To execute array machining, do the following:

  1. Press → C → F7 to enter into Array interface:

  2. Modify the value of parameter Enable Array to "Yes" to enable array machining.

  3. Set parameters Rows, Columns, Row Space R and Column Space C for array machining.

Press . The system executes array machining on current machining program.

Note: This mode is applicable to all types of program files, not just program files generated by program wizard.

Cycle Machining

To execute cycle machining, do the following:

  1. Press → → A to enter into Coor-Auto interface.
  2. Press direction buttons to switch to Prog Cycle Times.
  3. Press to input program cycle times.

Press . The system automatically machines the set times on the current program file.

Program Task

To choose program task, do the following:

  1. Press → = to enter into Program Task interface:

  2. To operate on program task, do one of the following:

    • Press F1 to enter into file list to add or select tool path file.
    • Press F2 to enter into task list to create new task, rename/delete task or open task.
    • Press F3 to edit current task to delete/save path tool file, adjust machining order, etc.

  3. To select machining mode, do one of the following:

    • Press N to select One by One Mode.

      After machining the currently loaded tool path, the system automatically unloads current tool path and loads another one. After waiting for the set interval, the system continues to machine the new tool path until all tool paths have been machined.

    • Press T to select Single Mode.

      After machining the currently loaded tool path, the system automatically unloads current tool path and loads another one, and then enters into pause status. Press to continue to machine the new tool path.

  4. Press F6 to load a program task.
