The system's description
The C-501 is a computerized system for sliver processing of plastic, hard

wood and soft metal products. The system includes a rotating mill cutting
operated by a spindle DC motor. The mill motor is located above a table,
which is operated by a DC motor, which raises and lowers it.
The processed material is installed on a table, which moves on two axes (X
and Y). In this way, the processed material moves on the X-Y plane and the
miller moves up and down (goes into and out of the material) on axis Z.
The movement of each axis is done by a DC motor, which includes a
magnetic encoder with Hall Effect sensors. The encoder outputs pulses
according to the motor's rotation.
The system is located in a metal structure with a transparent door in the
front. The door operates a magnetic switch when it is closed.
The system includes a computerized control unit. The control unit operates
the motors, receives the pulses from the encoders and operates the spindle
DC motor of the miller. The system stops each time the front door is
opened.
A computerized system for sliver processing is called CNC (Computerized
Numeric Control). The system's controller receives data, which determine
the processed material movement and the mill cutter (location and speed)
and moves them accordingly in a controlled manner.
A special language was created for CNC machines called G&M-Code. This
language is a universal language and despite this, each machine has its own
unique commands. This book describes the C-501 command set and the
system's programming method.
The programming language enables us to create programming files, where
each file is designated to manufacture a certain product (or part). The files
are saved in the computer's disk. In this way, we can manufacture a certain
part in the same level of accuracy and unity at each manufacturing, even if
the first manufacturing was a long time ago.
Lyric
The CNC system enables us to manufacture the exact amount of products

we need. All it takes is to load the computer with the appropriate file and
run the program. This process turned the manufacturing significantly
flexible. Flexibility means an easy transfer from one product to another.
These machines are called FMS (Flexible Manufacturing Systems).
The C-501 system is accompanied with the S-MILL software. This
software enables us to create and edit a G&M-Code file and run it.
Running the file can be done in two ways by simulation or by operating
the machine.
In the simulation method, the software draws the mill's movement on the
screen and drags lines accordingly. Each line receives a color according to
the milling depth.
In the machine operation method, the computer sends a movement
commands to the system's control unit and the control unit executes the
processing.
Lyric
1.2
G&M-Code language
The G&M-Code language is a very simple programming language and this

is the secret of its popularity.
The programming file is a text file written by a text editor (a simple word
processing).
The programming rules are as follows:
Every instruction to the machine should start with the letter G or M

(this is the reason for the name G&M-Code).
The software ignores lines that do not start with the letter G or M.
For example, G1 X10 Y30 Z-15 F125 meaning:
Move in straight line to point X,Y,Z = 10,30,15 from the home
position at feed of 125 millimeters per minute.
The movement is done in 3D dimensions.
All the parameters should be given in millimeters.
S-MILL software allows using a decimal point. i.e.: G1 X10.5 Y20.7

Important Note
S-MILL uses point as decimal point. Computers that are set
to comma as decimal point must be changed to point as
decimal point. It is done in the 'Regional and language
options' on the 'Control Panel'.
The parameters are optional. It means that the current value of a

parameter that is not indicated in an instruction remains without
change.
We use the '/' sign to indicate relative values.

i.e.: G1 X/20.3 Y/-5, which means:
Move 20.3 millimeters forward on X and 5 millimeters backward on Y
from the current location at previous feed and without changing Z
height.

In milling drawing we should have two projection drawings. The project

home position should be indicated on both of them.
We have to remember that the milling cutter is round. Because of that, the
corners of the slot processing will always be round according to the cutter
diameter. We also prefer not to start and end the program in a corner but in
a center of a line.
Project home:
The program values are related to the project home.
After installing the matter on the table, we are moving the cutter to the
project home point and determine this as the project home by clicking on a
certain button of the monitor program.
Clearance movement:
Clearance movement is a movement to a point without milling at a certain
level above the material.

Discussion:
In profile type processing, the cutter is attached to the drawing geometry. It
means that it mills around the marked area.
After the processing, the marked area will stick out over the profile cutting.
In profile processing the drawing lines are not the milling lines. We have to
take care of the cutter width. The cutter should go outside the marked area.

Our cutter width is 3mm. Because the cutter width is smaller then the space
between the profile lines and the edges of the material, the processing is
done in two cycles.
The home position will be also the starting point.
We can't process the material in any depth at one cycle. If we want to go
deep, we do it in several cycles. The number of cycles depends on the

3 mm milling cutter
Discussion:
In pocket processing the processing is done in a closed geometry area.
There are several types of movements in order to cover the area.
For smooth and better finish of the area, the movements must partially
overlap.
In CLEAR type we get out the pocket area by half diameter of the milling
cutter. The milling is done up and down in spaces of half diameter.
Figure 1-5
Lyric
33
In HATCH+FINISH type the milling cutter also goes up and down in half
diameter spaces, but the finish cutting is done inside the pocket contour
lines and is attached to them.

Monitor Functions
Step 2:
The C-501 has 3 limit switches that indicate the absolute home
position for each axis.
Clicking over the GO TO MACHINE HOME button returns the
marked axis to home position.
Check that.
Important Note:
After turning on the C-501 or pressing 'RST', the monitor
command 'GO TO MACHINE HOME' for all dimensions
(X,Y,Z) must be instructed in order to synchronized the
interface with the system location.
Step 3:
The button "Spindle" turns ON the spindle milling motor.

Close the C-501 door and click over the "Spindle" button.
Step 4:
Open the transparent door and the milling motor stops.

Important Note:
If the movement motors rotate, you must take care to stop
them by clicking over the 'Stop' button on the screen or
pressing RST.
For emergency stop, press the emergency button.
Step 5:
Close the door and the motor runs again.

Important Note:
Do not move the motor on Z dimension (especially down)
when the spindle milling motor is OFF.
Step 6:
You can move the material (X-Y movement) and the cutter (Z
movement) by using the arrow buttons for each axis.
The monitor displays the current position of the machine in the
X,Y,Z fields on the blue screen.
Check that.
Lyric

Step 7:
You can determine movement length in millimeter per each

arrow button click.
Change that 'Fine Move' field and check.
Step 8:
You can determine movement speed in millimeter per minute.

Change that 'FEED' field and check.
Step 9:
You can define any point as the project home using the button
'Define Project Point'.
Click on the 'Define Project Point' button and the X,Y,Z fields of
the project are set to zero.
Step 10: Move the system using the arrow keys and X,Y,Z fields will be
updated accordingly.
Step 11: Click over the button 'Go To Project Home' and the system will
return to the defined project home point.
Check that.
