Preface
The software EMCO EASY CYCLE is part of the EMCO training con-
cept.
With the EMCO EASY CYCLE, conventional and CNC turning and milling
machines are easy to operate. Background knowledge of ISO program-
ming is not necessary.
An interactive contour programming serves to define workpiece contours

with linear and circular contour elements.
The programming of a cycle is interactive and with graphic support. A

large number of machining cycles that can be combined to a program, are
available for the customer. Single cycles or the created cycle programs
can be graphically simulated on the screen. The possibility for simulation
of DIN programs is limited.
This instruction manual does not include the whole functionality of the
control software EMCO EASY CYCLE. However, emphasis was put on the
simple and clear illustration of the important functions, so as to achieve a
most comprehensive learning success.
If you have any further queries or suggestions for improvement regarding

this instruction manual, please do not hesitate to contact us.

EASY CYCLE 6
Fundamentals
A: Fundamentals
Reference Points of the EMCO

Milling machines
M = Machine zero point
An unchangeable reference point established by
the machine manufacturer.
Proceeding from this point the entire machine is
measured.
At the same time „M“ is the origin of the coordi-
nate system.
R = Reference point
N A position in the machine working area which is
determined exactly by limit switches. The slide
positions are reported to the control by the slides
M approaching the „R“.
W R Required after every power failure.
N = Tool mount reference point

Starting point for the measurement of the tools.
„N“ lies at a suitable point on the tool holder
system and is established by the machine manu-
facturer.
W = Workpiece zero point

Machine points Starting point for the dimensions in the part
program. Can be freely established by the pro-
grammer and moved as desired within the part
program.
Coordinate system
A1 EASY CYCLE
Fundamentals
Absolute workpiece positions

Position coordinates that refer to the workpiece
datum are called absolute coordinates.
Every position of a workpiece is clearly deter-
mined by absolute coordinates (picture on the
top left).
The origin of the coordinate system lies in the ma-
chine zero point „M“, respectively in the workpiece
zero point „W“ after a programmed zero offset.
All target points are described from the origin of
the coordinate system by definition of the respec-
tive X and Z distances.
Example: Holes dimensioned in absoluten coor-

dinates
Hole 1 Hole 2 Hole 3

X = 10 mm X = 30 mm X = 50 mm
Y = 10 mm Y = 20 mm Y = 30 mm
EASY CYCLE A2
Fundamentals
Zero offset
In EMCO milling machines, the Machine Zero
Point "M" is on the left forward edge of the ma-
chine table. This position is unsuitable as an origin
point for the programming. With the so-called Zero
M Offset, the coordinate system can be shifted to a
W
suitable point in the machine’s working area.
The control offers two methods to set a zero
offset:
1.) Set the reference point (see below).
2.) Cycle group coordinate transformation. Here,
absolute or incremental datum shifts can be
used (see chapter D).
Zero offset from machine zero point M to work-

piece zero point W
Setting the reference point
The setting of the reference point is carried out
axis by axis and serves to define the workpiece
zero point.
X Y Z • Press the key of the required axis.
• Enter the value with which you want to preset

the axis.
 ESC • To capture the entry, press "ENTER“, to abort

the entry, press "ESC“. EASY CYCLE opens a
dialogue box: (see center of the illustration op-
posite).
To confirm, press "Enter“, to abort, press
"ESC“.
Example:
The workpiece zero point should be defined on
Definition of the axis value in Z direction the upper side of a milled part.
Implementation: Scratch with a tool on the upper
side of a faced workpiece
Z • Press "Z“.
0  • Enter the value "0“ and confirm with "ENTER“.
 • Press "ENTER“ again.
Now, the workpiece zero point W is preset in Z-

axis direction with the value "0“.
A3 EASY CYCLE
Fundamentals
Milling operations
Down-cut Milling
In down-cut milling, the feed direction and the cut-
ting direction of the milling tool are the same.
The blade now first penetrates the material at the
surface of the raw part.
It is advantageous that a larger chamfer angle
enables the immediate penetration of the blade
into the material. It is not as with up-cut milling, in
which a specific sliding cutting path is left behind
under pressure and friction.
In down-cut milling, the feed force supports the
feed drive in the same direction of rotation. In ma-
chines with backlash in the feed drive, retrograde
movements occur which lead to the destruction
of the blades.
Down-cut milling is generally to be preferred if
the machine permits it (backlash-free table drive
in EMCO CNC machines).
Down-cut Milling
Up-cut Milling
In up-cut milling, the feed direction and the cut-
ting direction of the milling tool are opposed to
one another.
The blades of the tool strike at a very sharp angle
(j = 0) on the material.
Before the blades penetrate into the material,
they slide with increasing contact force a little
piece on the surface. After penetration, the chip
cross-section slowly increases and then falls
away quickly.
Up-cut milling is to be preferred in unstable
machine conditions (conventionally constructed
machines) and more resistant materials.

General 2D/3D Simulation

2D 3D At any time you can check the programmed cycles
in a 2D or 3D simulation (only with the software
accessory EMCO Win 3D-View).
EASY CYCLE shows all of the tool's position
movements in the simulation window.
In addition to the simulation window, the current
feeds, spindle speeds, names and position values
of the tool are shown.
Error reports also appear here. e.g.: Collision
warnings.
Processing time
The processing time is the approximate time
EASY CYCLE calculates for the duration of the
tool movements executed with feed.
The processing time will be shown in the form
(hh:mm:ss).
The time calculated by EASY CYCLE lends itself
only to a limited extent to the calculation of the
production time, as EASY CYCLE does not take
account of machine-dependent times (e.g. for
tool change).
The processing time calculated is only valid for a
100% programmed feed value F (Feed Override)
and 100% programmed spindle speed S (Speed
Override). Non-100% settings cannot be taken
into account.

ing
The measuring plane (Z=0) can also be defined
arbitrarily at another position in the work area.
Example 1:
The reference part (workpiece) has a precisely
defined height (e.g.: 20mm).
If during the tool scratch measurement, the Z-
value of the reference part is defined with "20"
instead of with "0", the position Z=0 lies at the
machine table.

Example 2:
2mm
The reference part (workpiece) is a still unproc-

essed workpiece with a dimension of 2 mm.
If during the tool scratch measurement, the Z-
Z=0 value of the reference part is saved with "2", the
position Z=0 lies on the surface of the already
processed workpiece.

The tool measurements can also be measured
with another measuring machine. The values

A tool is clamped in the main spindle and the
control does not recognize the corresponding T
number.
Eject the tool from the main spindle when the door
is open by means of the PC keys "Strg" and " 1 ".
7056: setting data incorrect

An invalid tool number is stored in the setting
data.
Delete the setting data in the machine directory
xxxxx.pls.
7057: toolholder occupied

The clamped tool cannot be positioned in the tool
turret since the position is occupied.
Eject the tool from the main spindle when the door
is open by means of the PC keys "Strg" and " 1 ".
7058: retracting the axes

The position of the tool turret arm cannot be
clearly defined during the tool change.
Open the machine door, push the tool turret
magazine backwards to the stop. Move the milling
head in the JOG mode upwards to the Z reference
switch and then traverse the reference point.

the setting of the axis controller
is adjusted. This gain is only
effective until the programmed
feed rate of 2500 mm/min and
allows contour faithful retrac-
tion of the tool path and gen-
erating of sharp edges.
If the feed is set up to higher
than 2500 mm/min, it is auto-
