VERICUT V6.2
Session 106
Session Steps:
1. Start from a new Millimeter Project file
File > New Project >Millimeter
2. Display the axis systems in a Machine/Cut Stock view
Note: Nothing will display on the screen until the next step.
3. Open the Fanuc 15T Control file configured for turret lathes

The Component Tree window now shows all the Tool components defined in the position
and orientation where a cutting tool assembly will be loaded. For this example of a lathe
with a turret, the T word in the program represents the index position of the turret. This is
why each tool component has a different Tool Index number. When a T word is
encountered in the program, the turret is rotated to align the selected index position with
the workpiece.
The Tool components must be defined prior to processing a tool path file, or attempting
to move the machine via MDI.

The Fixture component origin is the location where the fixture models will be loaded.
The presence of a fixture component in the machine definition does not affect how a tool
path file is processed, however, it is useful for detecting collisions between the fixture
and other machine components.
The Attach component origin is the origin in which setup (fixture and stock) will be
loaded. Every machine definition must include an Attach component. The Stock
component is typically connected to a Fixture component, but this does not have to be the

The Initial Machine Location table describes where the machine is initially positioned,
how the machine moves when changing tools, and the location of the machine's reference

Models are not used for the Tool component shape. Instead, tool data is retrieved from a
Tool Library file specified using the Tool Manager. On a turret lathe, all the tools are
loaded at the start of the program. Each tool is attached to a different tool component. If a
Turret component is present, matching tool IDs from the tool library will be
automatically loaded to their respective Tool Index number. The tool origin will be
loaded at the Tool component origin with the tool coordinate system aligned with the tool
component coordinate system.

The NC Program origin is located at the base of the stock. The stock is located 106.68mm
from the spindle face (Z 0). Since no work offsets are defined in the program (G54G55...), a Program Zero table is entered to move the tool path origin relative to the
machine origin.

Conclusion
This session provided experience with configuring the kinematic properties, and adding
models, for a Fanuc-controlled 2-axis lathe. A sample G-Code turning tool path is
simulated using tooling retrieved from an existing VERICUT Tool Library file.
