2GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING

1. Before starting to use the conversational functions (such as creation/run of machining programs,

measurement of tool compensation, and specification of a chuck barrier), close the doors of the

machine, and take any other necessary safety measures.

Failure to take a necessary safety measure may bring about the death of, or a serious injury to,

the user.

2. Before going to the next step of handling or operation, check the display on the screen carefully

to assure that the intended data has been entered correctly.

If the machine is used with incorrect data, the tool may bump against the machine and/orworkpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, and even injuries.

3. When you are using a tool compensation function, before starting the machine, check the

direction and amount of compensation so that the tool will not bump against the workpiece or

machine.

If the tool bumps against the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be

damaged, and even injuries may occur.

4. After you create a machining program using a conversational function, do not run the machine

on that program immediately. Instead, carry out machining simulation to make sure that the tool

path and machining operation are correct and that the tool will not bump against the workpiece

or machine (including the chuck and tailstock).If the tool bumps against the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be


5. After you convert a machining program created using a conversational function to NC program

format, do not run the machine on that program immediately. Instead, confirm every step of the

resultant NC program, and make sure that the tool path and machining operation are correct and

that the tool will not bump against the workpiece or machine (including the chuck and tailstock).

Before starting production machining, run the machine with no workpiece attached to the

machine to make sure that the tool will not bump against a workpiece (when attached) or the

machine (including the chuck and tailstock).

If the tool bumps against the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be


6. Before starting to create a machining program using a conversational function, make sure that

all necessary data among the tool data, cutting condition data, surface roughness data, pre–tool

list, and chuck and tailstock data, and all parameters necessary for the conversational function

are set correctly.

If the necessary data is not set correctly, any required cutting conditions will not be set correctly,

possibly causing damage to the tool, and even injuries.

WARNING

7. When you run the machine using a machining program created using a conversational function

or a machining program generated by converting another machining program to NC program

format, be sure to use the correct tool geometry compensation data measured on the relevant

measurement guidance screen provided by the conversational function.If the machine is used with incorrect data, the tool may bump against the machine and/or

workpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, and even injuries.

The method to measure the tool compensation amount may be provided by the machine tool

builder. If this is the case, before starting measurement, read carefully and understand

sufficiently the applicable user’s guide from the machine tool builder.

8. Before using a chuck barrier or chuck/tailstock barrier, perform a manual operation (such as jog

feed or manual pulse generator feed) to make sure that the barrier area data is set correctly, that

the barrier function occurs at the correct position, and that the tool will not bump against the

chuck or tailstock.

If the tool bumps against the chuck and/or tailstock, the tool and/or machine may be damaged,

and even injuries may occur.

9. When pressing the power ON button, do not touch any key on the keyboard before a display

appears on the screen. Some keys on the keyboard are allocated to maintenance or other special

operations. Pressing any of these keys may cause the machine to behave unexpectedly.

1OVERVIEW

This manual describes the functions related to the one–/two–path lathe

Super CAP T and Super CAP II T of the FANUC Series 16/18–TB and

FANUC Series 16/18–TC Series 16i /18i–TA. (The Super CAP II T is

usable only with the FANUC Series 16/18–TC, Series 16i /18i–TA.)

The one–/two–path Super CAP T and Super CAP II T differ from each

other only in conversational programming screens and machining

simulation. All other aspects such as screen displays, key operations, and

machining operations are identical. Therefore, this manual mainly

describes the former Super CAP, and explains the conversational

automatic programming function of the latter Super CAP as required.

For other functions, refer to the operator’s manual for the FANUC Series

16/18–TB or FANUC Series 16/18–TC Series 16i /18i–TA.

The specifications and usage of the conversational automatic

programming function may vary according to the specifications of the

operator’s panel of a machine tool. Be sure to read the manual provided

by the machine tool builder.

The functions of the CNC machine tool system are determined not only

by the CNC, but by the combination of the machine tool, the power

magnetic circuit in the machine tool, the servo system, the CNC, and the

operator’s panel.

It is impossible to cover all possible combinations of all functions,

programming methods, and operations in a single manual.

This manual explains only the conversational automatic programming

function provided for the CNC. For individual CNC machine tools, refer

to applicable manuals from the machine tool builders.

The manuals from machine tool builders take precedence over this

manual.

This manual explains as many detailed functions as possible. However,

it is not possible to describe all of the items which cannot be done or which

the operator must not do. Therefore, please assume that functions other

than those described in this manual cannot be performed.

Detailed information and special conditions are explained in notes. The

readers may encounter new technical terms in the notes not previously

defined or described. In this case, read this manual through first, then

review the details.

machining functions are the same as conventional ones.

Moreover, machining programs, tool data, and conversational function

parameters created on the Super CAP T can be used also on the Super CAP

II T.

Data can be entered for items on the conversational programming menus

(except for the detailed data screen) while calculation is performed on the

same menu.

The four arithmetic functions, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and

division, operate on two numbers. By substituting the result as one term

at the next calculation, calculation can be iterated indefinitely.

Data to be entered for an item must conform to the type of data in the item.

If data contains a component less than the minimum input limit, the

component is ignored.

The following shows key operations for each function.

· Addition 100. +200. INPUT· Subtraction 200. –100. INPUT

· Multiplication 100. * 20. INPUT

· Division 200. /10. INPUT

The result reads at the location where input

keys are displayed.

To enter the calculated result for the desired item, press the INPUT key

again after checking the result.

Pressing the CAN key deletes characters successively in the input field

from the last character entered.

23

The keys mainly used for the conversational automatic programming

function are explained here. For other keys that are not dealt with in this

manual, refer to the relevant operator’s manuals.

When the conversational automatic programming function is used, the

operator sometimes has to perform certain operations manually from the

machine operator’s panel. There may include reference position return

operation and turret turning operation (tool replacement). The operator’s

panel varies depending on the machine tool builders and the individualmachines. For the use of the operator’s panel, refer to the appropriate

manual provided by the machine tool builder.

Key Description

Function buttons
