B Before You Start

The programming system for the SBZ 130 Rod Machining Center provides a high-
performance programming environment for all problem solutions in the area of profile
machining.
In this software version 3.22, ideas and suggestions of our users have been implemented to
further increase the performance and operator friendliness of the previous version.
The SBZ 130 Control System includes all functions required for both the operator and
service technician.
To prevent the machine operator from being bothered with, for him/her, unnecessary menus,
passwords have been assigned for the service functions.
The operating manual for the SBZ 130 Control System is divided into sections. In the first
section (Chapter 2) the general operation of the software is described. In the second section
(Chapter 3) the entry of programs and machine operation are explained using detailed
examples.
Subject to technical change without notice.

Note:
As the control system can save more tools than the machine can
physically carry, activating the tool deactivates the tool previously saved in
this position.
Position: Here the position assigned to the tool in the tool
changer is specified. The individual positions
are marked on the tool changer.
Always enter a two-digit position number (e.g.

40 must be entered for the position 4).
Note:
The two-digit entry of the position number is necessary, as the machine can be
equipped with tool heads provided with a left and right machining side and/or a
front and rear machining side.
Position 32 Position 31
In this case, the following position numbers must be entered for the tool in
position 3:
• right side and/or rear side: 31

Center The cutter center is located
2-14 Date 04/05

on the machining path
Right The right cutter side is

located on the machining path
2.2.3.2 Programming path data with real numerical values:

Planning:
To plan a contour it is best to use the coordinate system shown below.
With this type of coordinate system it is possible within a very short time
to program even complex contours.
However, a different coordinate system orientation results depending on
which side the profile is viewed from:
+x
-y
+y
-x
+z +x
+z
-y
-x -z
+y
-z
from above from front/back from left/right

-y +z (y) +z (y)
-x +x -x +x -y(x) +y(x)
+y -z (y) -z (y)

The coordinate system "View from above" is always used for

programming. The other illustrated coordinate systems are only used
for improved orientation.
Note:
To enable programming of the contour from the machining side, the
coordinate system from the material side 1 was projected on the
machining side 2.
-y
-x +x
+y
+y
-x +x
-y
The path data are programmed by entering the movement of the cutter
from the 0 point in the corresponding direction. The type of movement is
specified with program parameters.
Specifying program parameter (Job):
G00 Rapid traverse (= The cutter moves quickly along a straight line
specified with coordinates).
G01 Straight-line interpolation (= The cutter moves through a
straight line specified with coordinates).
G02 Counter-clockwise circle programming (= The cutter travels
clockwise along a semi-circle).
G03 As for G02, however clockwise.
G23 Circular arc with additional support point on the path.

2.2.3.3 Programming path data with variable values

Although the programming of contours is easiest with real numbers, this
method involves a great deal of effort.
For example, the diameter of the cutter must always be taken into
consideration and subtracted from or added to the values. In addition,
the contour dimensions must also be entered repeatedly for changing
profile dimensions.
If programming is carried out with variables, a contour programmed

once can be used for several applications.
Note:
The graphic display of the contour is dependent on the entries in the
Specified Values function (F9). However, the values entered there are
used exclusively for this display mode.
The values actually used for this contour are specified in the machining
program (L and B) or in the tool definition (D).
The following variables are available:
Variable Meaning Specified in

L Contour length Machining program
B Contour width Machining program
D Milling cutter diameter Tools
Variable programming is explained in the following examples using the

examples 1 and 3 as a basis.

on level 1and centered to the profile.
Profile (h x w): 70 x 70 mm
Profile length: 340 mm
Hole: 8 mm dia.
There are several different ways of carrying out this task:
2-42 Date 04/05

Method 1:
Step 1: Draw the profile to scale and calculate the positions of the individual holes:
Step 2: Enter the parameters:

Eb: 1 all holes on level 1
Lg: 1 all holes without changing the clamping device
(position)
Dimension X: values from the drawing

B: no entry necessary
Tool: copy from selection window

Speed: enter material-dependent speed (e.g. 6,000)

Infeed: no entry necessary (hole)
Depth table: enter the Z movements of the drill bit here
After completing the entries in the depth table shown above, the hole will
be drilled as follows:
1 Rapid infeed (18 m/min) of the drill bit to the Z position

72 mm
2 The hole is drilled to the Z position 60 mm with an infeed
of 0.3 m/min
3 The drill bit then moves automatically to the first dimension
of the depth table, unless the actual dimension is larger than
the dimension of the first table entry.
2-44 Date 04/05

If a thread is to be cut with a standard tap after drilling the core hole, the
corresponding entries in the depth table are required.
Note:
Three entries in the depth table are always required for threaded holes.
After the entry has been made in the depth table shown above, tapping will
be carried out as follows:
1 Rapid infeed (18 m/min) of the drill bit to the Z position

72 mm
2 Wait cycle
3 Carry out tapping up to the Z position at 55 mm with an infeed
of 12 m/min
4 The drill bit then automatically moves back to the first dimension
of the depth table, unless the dimension of the fourth table entry is
larger than the dimension of the first table entry.
If the hole and the thread are to be carried out with the combination tool,
the corresponding entries must be made in the depth table.

Note:
Three entries in the depth table are always required for threaded holes.
After the entry has been made in the depth table shown above, tapping will
be carried out as follows:
1 2 3 4
70 mm 72 mm
55 mm
1 Rapid infeed (18 m/min) of the drill bit to the Z-position

72 mm
2 The hole is drilled to the Z-position 60 mm with an infeed
of 0.6 m/min
3 Carry out tapping up to the Z position at 55 mm with an infeed
of 12 m/min
4 The drill bit then automatically moves back to the first dimension of
the depth
table, unless the dimension of the fourth table entry is larger than the
dimension of the first table entry.
Step 3: Now enter the next 4 machining steps as in Step 2.

2nd example:
Milling work (contours) is to be carried out in the center of the profile. The
contour height is to be half the profile width. The contour width is to be
twice the height. The upper side of the profile is to be milled and another
identical milling carried out on the front. The program is to be valid for any
profile lengths. In addition, threaded M6 holes are to be drilled at 4 corners
points. The center point of the threaded holes is to be 12 mm from the
edge of the contour.
The contour is to look like the following:
2-50 Date 04/05

The use of variables is advisable for this task:

Variables in the machining program:
H: Profile length (Machining Order)
Y: Profile width (General Parameters)
Z: Profile height (General Parameters)
Y1: Machining width (General Parameters)
Y2: Machining height (General Parameters)
D: Milling cutter diameter (Tools)
