Thus, it is no longer necessary to keep promises on NC tape and NC automatic programming, language in mind. This “Symbolic FAPT TURN” for turing is employable as the software for the portable desk-top type NC tape automatic preparation system FANUC SYSTEM P-MODEL G. Each process from design drawings to NC tape preparation is entirely advanced by the con- versational operation with the graphic display CRT. For (1) selection of coordinate system by drawing methods (2) selection of figures of blank and input of dimensions (3) input of parts figures and dimensions, and (4) selection of machining process and decision of cutting conditions etc., the operator has only to answer questions from the CRT. The parts figure can be input simply by depressing corresponding symbol keys on the opera- tor’s panel according to the profiles of a workpiece described on design drawings, When dimensions and various data are input, various pieces of reference information are illustrated on the CRT from time to time, and questions are given to the operator using daily language. When data are input, the figure of blank and parts profile are drawn immediately, and auto- matic calculations of NC command data are started. The tool path is concurrently displayed as figures. Automatically calculated NC data are punched on paprer tape as an NC tape, and then, loaded and stored into memory cassette which serve as a new medium instead of NC tape. In addition, these NC data can be directly transferred to an NC unit via an external interface. ‘This manual describes new software “ Symbolic FAPT TURN” for the portable desk-top type NC tape automatic preparation system, “FANUC SYSTEM P-MODEL G” with the graphic display CRT combined For general description and specifications of Symbolic FAPT TURN, refer to “Descriptions (B-5413 1B)”. Goution: You are requested to replace the floppy disk with the cassette magnetic tape when | {_yeu apply this system to FANUC SYSTEM P-MODEL D.Chapter 1. OPERATION PROCEDURE OF Symbolic FAPT ‘This chapter gives an outline of the operation procedure according to the operation flow of Symbolic FAPT TURN. The explanation in this chapter corresponds to the Symbolic FAPT operator's handbook (B-54133E). ‘The details of each functions and convenient methods are described in chapter 2 and later1, LOADING OF Symbolic FAPT At fitst, oad the system program of Symbolic FAPT by the following way. 9 t Set floppy disk. Depress LOAD button for several seconds. {About 20 seconds later {Note} In order to prevent [EQAD] button from being depressed by mistake, itis designed to be effective nly when itis kept depressing for several seconds. Various jobs are selectable by depressing R keys, while the above pattern appears on CRT screen, FAPT EXECUTION Depress key for NC programming, while monitoring the CRT screen FAMILY PROGRAM For calling a family program fiom floppy disk or memory cassette, depress [RT] key For using the memory cassette, the memory cassette adapter is necessary. SETTING [RZ] ‘key is used for input/output and setting of “system parameters”, “material files”, and “tooling files”. For storage of material files and tooling files, the floppy disk and the memory cassette are used. AUXILIARY WORK [RE] key is used for setting “machine tool file (MTE)”.swuayu0) ova uonrpa| smuayu0g area luorrpal 11ta.
