SIM 05 Mill 5 AX: Siemens PLM Software

This document provides information about the functionality supported in a Siemens PLM Software simulation sample post and kit for Okuma controllers, including: - Basic milling functionality for 2-axis, 3-axis, 3+2-axis and 5-axis machines like motion types, coordinate systems, tool offsets, and cycles. - Advanced features like variable axis drilling and tool path type switching via UDEs. - Details on setting slope coordinate systems with G69/G68 and switching between TCP modes for 5-axis machines. - The post can automatically detect the tool path type but a UDE is provided to override if needed.

1 General Information
This machine includes post and Simulation for controller OKUMA. Here a list of the
supported features.

2 Functionality list
Okuma controller supports the basic functionality for 2 axis drilling, 3 axis, 3+2 axis and 5
axis milling and also some advanced functionality.

2.1 Basic functionality


o Addresses (X, Y, Z, A, B, C)
o Program control (M02, M0...)
o Basic motion type: rapid, linear, circular(G0/G1/G2/G3)
o Workplane selection (G17,G18,G19)
o Metric/Inch units(G20/G21)
o Absolute and incremental dimensioning mode(G90/G91)
o Fixture offset(G15 Hn/G16 Hn)
o Coordinate system rotation(support Local CSYS and Auto3D way)
o Tool radius compensation(G41/G42/G40)
o Tool length compensation(G54 H/G55 H/G56 H/G53 H/D)
o Feedrate, federate unit(G94/G95 F)
o Spindle speed and direction control (S, M3,M4,M5)
o Tool number and tool change(T M6)
o Coolant(M7/M8/M9)
o Home position(G30)
o Dwell(G4)
o Drilling cycle(G73/G74/G76/G81/G82/G83/G85/G86/G87/G8R9/G80)

2.2 Advanced functionality:


o Variable axis drilling (fully support cycle plane change)
o UDE-Set Tool Path Type to switch between 5 axis and 3 axis tool path.

2.3 Setting slope coordinate system (G69/G68)


In sim05 Okuma kit, the coordinate conversion can be done up to three times. Firstly, the
coordinate conversion is with respect to Z-axis, secondly it is with respect to X-axis, and
finally it is with respect to Z-axis. The output format likes this:
2

G69 X Y Z P
G69 X Y Z R
G69 X Y Z P
…
G68
G68
G68

2.4 Switching between TCP G44 mode and G169 mode for 5 axis machine
Set variable dpp_ge(tcp_output_type) to “AXIS", and set dpp_ge(tcp_base_coord_type) to
"TCP_FIX_MACHINE" in PB_CMD_dpp_ge_set_default_variable. It will output NC code
G169.

set variable dpp_ge(tcp_output_type) to “VECTOR”,and set dpp_ge(tcp_base_coord_type) to


"TCP_FIX_TABLE" in PB_CMD_dpp_ge_set_default_variable. It will output NC code G44.

2.5 Define Set Tool Path Type via UDE


The UDE is used to set tool path type of a operation.
Option (5 Axis Simultaneous Cutting):
o Yes: set the tool path type to 5 axis simultaneous cutting
o No: set the tool path type to 3 axis machining

In the sim05 Okuma kit, the post can automatically detect the tool path type, but if the post
doesn't detect correctly, the users can use the UDE to reset the tool path type.
