2. ShopTurn
2.1. Field of application

ShopTurn is a custom-tailored technology package for all standard CNC turning machines with machining slide used worldwide. The main purpose of these machines is to manufacture individual parts, and for small to mid-scale production runs. ShopTurn offers user-friendly machine tool operation particularly designed for skilled workers. All operator input is supported by graphic help screens. The functions in manual mode allow fast, workshop-oriented setting up of the machine for processing. In particular, this refers to determining the workpiece position in the machine as well as maintenance and dimensioning of the tools in use.

ShopTurn offers two different programming options. The DIN/ISO editor (see Section 4.7) is used for writing DIN/ISO programs on the machine as well as for correcting externally created DIN/ISO programs. The graphic ShopTurn editor (see Section 4.8) is used for operating step programming (option) on the machine.

To sum up, ShopTurn Version 6.4 allows you to configure controllers in a uniform manner and easily expand the configuration later without needing to recommission the machine.

Simple, straight-forward operator interface for all machine functions DIN/ISO programming on the machine or offline via CAD/CAM system ShopTurn operating step programming (option) Execution of externally created CNC programs (CAD/CAM systems) Measuring functions The advantage for the OEM: One control system for global use!

Functions for program run


Basic block display

Basic block display is for displaying motion blocks in machining cycles. The ShopTurn work schedule is converted to G1/G2/G3 blocks (see Fig.: Basic block display). In addition to the current block, previously executed blocks and blocks to come are displayed. The basic block display is particularly useful when test running programs with machining cycles in single block mode. The basic block display is effective for all cycles (standard machining cycles, ShopTurn cycles, manufacturer cycles) and can therefore be used in DIN/ISO programs and ShopTurn operating step programs.

Fig.: Basic block display

Basic block display is a display function only and not a post-processor. The displayed DIN/ISO blocks cannot be converted for use in a CNC program.

4.9.2.

Counterspindle machining

ShopTurn allows machining with a counterspindle both in DIN/ISO programming and in work schedule programming. In DIN/ISO programming you need to input all operations required for synchronizing the spindles as CNC language commands. With work schedule programming, an easy-to-use cycle is provided for counterspindle machining (see Fig.: Counterspindle cycle).

Acceptance certificates for ShopTurn in German and English are included in the scope of supply of ShopTurn. The acceptance certificate supplements the ShopTurn commissioning documentation.

The acceptance certificate is used for testing the application to achieve the best possible interaction between SINUMERIK, ShopTurn and the machine. Basic knowledge of operating and configuring ShopTurn is required for conducting the test. For some test components it is necessary to start an automatic program or activate machine functions. Therefore, only authorized personnel at the machine manufacturer's are permitted to carry out all operations that activate the machine functions.

The requisite programs must be created directly on the machine. For sample programs see sample workpiece in the ShopTurn and Programming Guide, chapter Examples.
