Basics
2. 1 Programming with ShopTurn
ShopTurn offers the option to create NC programs directly on the control in
the manner of chained sequential block programs. It also offers the option
to program G-code programs directly, with additional ShopTurn functional-
ity.
Note:
The creation of G-code programs in ShopTurn is discussed in details in
the module B605 " Basics of programming with the programGUIDE".
The advantage of programming a ShopTurn program lies in the graphical
guiding of the programming process in the editor.
The following functions are available for this task:
Technology oriented program step (technologies/cycles) selection using
softkeys
Input masks and windows for parameters, with animated help graphics
Context sensitive online help for every input mask and window
Support for the contour input (geometric processor)
ShopTurn programms can be represented in different ways:
As a work plan, showing the program header, the programming steps
with their linkages (chains) and the end of the program.
