Objective:
To fabricate the given geometry using XL Turn. Common G codes Default G codes used on most machines types. User customizable G codes will change based on application and user definition. You can add, modify, edit, delete and customize your own G and M codes. Special characters that can be used from within program. ( ) Enter user notes between the two parentheses. { } Enter math functions between the two braces.

Procedure 1. Load program as is necessary from machine directory/library or from network drive. 2. Review program thoroughly paying attention to tool requirements and any messages, which may appear in the programs. Check distance between tools to ensure sufficient clearance will be achieved between the tool and the chuck when turret indexes. 3. Install necessary tool in turret as is dictated by the program. 4. Ensure correct inserts are used and inspected prior to their use. 5. Set tool length via tool probe or touching part as is applicable to your machine. 6. Jog turret away from part and turn on all safety switches. 7. Initiate programs via cycle start ensuring feed pots are set to 0%. 8. Using single block and cycle start advance program to start position (start of cut) to ensure it is correct. 9. After tool positions and program have been verified using the above procedure, the program must be re-ran completely to verify all tool positions + program function. This will ensure your entire set up operation is correct.

10.Once entire program has been confirmed safety switches can be disabled and production can
resume. Precaution a) Dont open the front door, when machine is running. b) Dont put your hands to approach turret, when turret device is running. c) Do not open the guard door, while the spindle running. Safety 1. Wear personal protective equipment. a) Ensure door is closed when flying chips are present. b) Wear rubber gloves when working with coolant. 2. Be very careful while filing, emerying and when using a deburring tool. 3. Do not operate the lathe wearing loose clothing, finger rings or other jewellery. 4. Never attempt to remove chips by hand, turn off the spindle and use a chip hook or a brush. 5. Never polish a part with emery cloth wrapped around your hand, hold the emery cloth using your thumb and forefinger only. 6. When emerying a threaded part, use a course grit sandpaper to minimize the surface to surface contact, which will reduce the tendency for the emery cloth to want to grab. Operation 1. Know where the emergency stop button is located on your machine before operating. 2. Try to eliminate long, stringy chips when machining as they can be easily caught up in the chuck, always exercise proper chip control. 3. Know machine speeds and feeds, if you are unsure please ask your Supervisor. 4. Make sure cutting tools are used properly and for their intended application.

5. Do not try and fix the machine if there is a problem, ask your Supervisor to contact plant maintenance. 6. Ensure the lathe you operate and tooling is used with respect at all times. 7. Never use compressed air to clean the lathe, as small particles may become embedded into parts of the machine causing damage, use a soft bristle brush. 8. Never leave a running (spindle turning) lathe unattended.

Conclusion 1. Desired shape is generated using CNC lathe machine. 2. Since everything is automatic, efficiency of such machines is very high and the work quality is much better than that of manual work. 3. Intricate parts with great detailing can be produced by using these machines. For mass production and for fast production we can use this.

Learning 1) Using G and M codes to generate a profile using CNC turning. 2) Safety measurements to be considered before operation. 3) Using simulation software to replicate turning process and linking it to the actual machine.
