Preface
Wheel Type Tools are manufactured, distributed, and sold by various third party tooling
manufacturers.
Amada America Inc. makes no claims as to the ability of any Wheel Type Tool to
perform any process, and provides this programming information only as a courtesy to
our customers.
For any problems relating to the function of any Wheel Type Tool, contact the
manufacturer of the tool directly.
Prior to attempting to use any Wheel Type Tool in an Amada turret punch press, the
following information should be reviewed.
1. Only certain models are capable of using the Wheel Type Tools
2. Only Vipros models with the Fanuc 18p control, Apelio Vipros 2510 with Fanuc
160iL control, or EM models with AMNC-F controls are capable of using the
circular interpolation commands G02 and G03.
3. On early Vipros models with the Fanuc 18p control, the circular interpolation
commands, G02 and G03, is a purchased option and does not come standard
on those models (control software can be upgraded through Fanuc). On
machines manufactured after May 2000, this feature is standard.
4. The following Vipros models are capable of using the Wheel Type Tools with the
point to point and lineal interpolation commands,G00 and G01, with no software
updates required:
Vipros 358 King with Fanuc 18p control.
Vipros 368 King with Fanuc 18p control.
Vipros 255 with Fanuc 18p control.
Vipros 357 Queen with Fanuc 04PC control.
Vipros 367 Queen with Fanuc 04PC control.
Vipros 345 with Fanuc 04PC control.

Control Software
To use Wheel Type Tools in Circular modes (G02,G03) the Fanuc 18P control software
level must be at or above the following levels.

Ram Stroke Commands (Vipros models)

Amada Vipros machines use the concept of Ram Stroke Patterns to control the
positioning of the punch. As designed there is no Ram Stroke Pattern for use with any
of the Wheel Type Type Tools.
To use a Wheel Type Tool it is necessary to “trick” the Vipros control into positioning the
Wheel Type Tool to the proper working height.
The most likely Ram Stroke Pattern to be used for any of the Wheel Type Tools is the
forming command.
The forming Ram Stroke Pattern command consists of the following information
Designed Use: Wheel Type Tool Use
Top The distance between the punch tip and Required Value = 0.000”
Position the top of the formed material between
tool hits.
Typical Value: .375”
Bottom The distance the punch tip penetrates Required Value = 0.000”
Position into the material to achieve the proper
height form.
Die Height A calculated value describing the overall Typical Value = 1.070 –
length of the forming punch. material thickness
Typical Value: 1.181” All adjustment to achieve
better results is by increasing
or decreasing this value.
Refer to tool manufactures
specific instructions to
determine correct value.
Forming Tonnage when reached retracts punch Typical Value = 20 tons
Tonnage ignoring bottom position and holding
time.
Typical Value: 20 tons
Maximum The tonnage at which generates an error Typical Value = 25 tons
Tonnage message indicating tooling problems.
Typical Value: 25 tons
Holding Time in milliseconds the punch dwells at Typical Value = 0 msec.
Time bottom position.
Typical Value: 100
msec.
Slow The distances above the material that the Typical Value =.001”
Position punch changes from approach speed to
the selected forming speed.
Ram Speed Speed of the forming operations Typical Value = HI
Typical Value: HI

G00 Point-to-Point Interpolation

G00 or Point-to-Point Interpolation is used for moving the Wheel Type Tool in horizontal
or vertical lines. Axis motion is limited to the X-axis or Y-axis. The only valid C angles
are 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees.
The command format is:
G00 XXXXX.XXX YYYYY.YYY
Where:
G00 = Point-to-point positioning mode
XXXXX.XXX = "X" axis end point coordinate
YYYYY.YYY = "Y" axis end point coordinate
G00 may be used in absolute G90 or incremental G91 modes.
Standard programming rules for G90 and G91 apply.
G00 is a modal command the control remains in this mode until another motion
command is issued

G00 Horizontal Line (example 1)

The following example will make a horizontal line with the Wheel Type Tool.

G01 - Linear Interpolation

G01 or Linear Interpolation is used for moving a Wheel Type Tool in a straight line at an
angle at a programmed speed. The control calculates X-axis and Y-axis motion speed
to achieve a programmed tool path speed. The C angle must match the angle of the
programmed tool path.
The command format is:
G01 XXXXX.XXX YYYYY.YYY FFFF.FF
Where:
G01 = Point-to-point positioning mode
XXXXX.XXX = "X" axis end point coordinate
YYYYY.YYY = "Y" axis end point coordinate
FFFF.FF = Programmed feedrate
G01 may be used in absolute G90 or incremental G91 modes.
Standard programming rules for G90 and G91 apply.
G01 is a modal command the control remains in this mode until another motion
command is issued.

G01 Line At Angle (example 1)

The following example will make a line at 135° with the Wheel Type Tool.

G02/G03 - Circular interpolation

The G02 and G03 or circular interpolation commands are used to move Wheel Type
Tool in a circular path. Arc segments or full circles may be described using these
commands.
G02 is circular interpolation in the clockwise direction.
G03 is circular interpolation in the counter clockwise direction.
There are two formats for using this command:
The Arc "I" & "J" Format

Ggg Xxxxx.xxx Yyyyy.yyy Iiiii.iii Jjjjj.jjj
Where:
GGG = Circular interpolation mode (G02 or G03).
XXXXX.XXX = X-axis arc end point.
YYYYY.YYY = Y-axis arc end point.
IIIII.III = X-axis signed incremental distance from the arc start point to
the arc center.
JJJJJ.JJJ = Y-axis signed incremental distance from the arc start point to
the arc center.
The "I” and "J” values are the vector components from the start point of the arc
looking toward the arc center point. This is an incremental distance regardless of
the current selection of G90 or G91 and is totally independent of the either G90
or G91. It does not change the setting of G90 or G91

G02/G03 Arc I J Format (example 1)

The following example will make a 90° clockwise arc with a 30 inch radius with a
Wheel Type Tool.
G92XXXXX.XXXXYYYYY.YYY Machine origin statement.
G06A.AAABB Material thickness and type.

The Arc Radius Format

Ggg Xxxxx.xxx Yyyyy.yyy Rrrrr.rrr
Where:
GGG = Circular interpolation mode (G02 or G03).
XXXXX.XXX = X axis arc end point.
YYYYY.YYY = Y axis arc end point.
RRRRR.RRR = Arc radius.
It is possible to specify two arcs between the start and end points, one less than
180° degrees, and one greater than 180° but less than 360°. An arc of less than
180° is specified with a positive “R” value, an arc greater than 180° is specified
with a negative “R” value.
When using the radius format it is not possible to do an arc of 360°. The “I J”
format must be used for complete circles

G02/G03 Arc Radius Format (example 1)

The following example will make a 90° clockwise arc with a 30 inch radius with the
Wheel Type Tool.
X10.000Y40.000TTTTC0.00 Start point of line, tool selection, C-axis

EM Ram “Conditions” settings.
EM models use the following conditions settings when using wheel tools:
1. Use forming
M-Code
2. Input punch
and die lengths
3. Calculate “Die
Height” parameter
4. Select “Ram Hold
Down” function (touch
arrow for dropdown box)
5. Adjust “Die Height”
parameter to control depth
of tool. Increasing this
parameter will cause tool
to go deeper.
6. Don’t forget to
“Register” data
after inputting.

Ram retract and “Deadzone” issues.
All models have built in, automatic “ram retract zones” designed to prevent the clamps
from colliding with a tool while it is “hovering” above the material. When using a wheel
tool, if the tool inters this area it will retract and the cut/form will be lost. The size of this
area varies from machine to machine. The customer should familizarize themselves
when the ram retract zones occurs on their perticular machine and make appropriate
attempts to prevent the tool from entering this area. In the event that it is not possible to
avoid the ram retract zone, it is possible to reduce the size of this area on certain
machines. Below is a list of parameters that can be modified to reduce the “ram retract
zone” on these perticular models.
Warning: The ram retract zones are designed to prevent the

clamps from colliding with the punch during sheet
movement. Modifying this zone does introduce the possibility
of such occurrence and it becomes the customers’
responsibility to insure, through proper programming
methods, that such collisions do not occur.
Vipros machines with 18P:

To reduce the ram retract zone for Vipros machines with 18P controls,
parameter #6959 must be increased, by a negative amount. Example: If
the original parameter is -116999 increasing this by 2540 in the negative
to -119539 will reduce the ram retract zone by 1” from approximately 4” to
3”
On Vipros 255 machines, if the wheel tool is used in the 2” Auto Index
station, the ram will retract whenever the C angle changes. To prevent this
from happening, keep relay K2.0 can be set to 1.
EM Machines with AMNC-F control:

To reduce the ram retract zone for EM Machines with AMNC-F control,
parameters #16556 and #16558 must be reduced. Example: If the original
parameter is 15602, reducing this by 5080 to 10522 will reduce the ram
retract zone by 1” from approximately 3” to 2”
On EM machines, if the wheel tool is used in the 2” Auto Index station, the
ram will retract whenever the C angle changes. To prevent this from
happening, keep relay K12.0 can be set to 1.
