  1. CNC Motion ProLIGHT 1000 Control Software

  2. Program Interface • Standard Tool Bar • Output Tool Bar • Input Tool Bar • Operator Panel • Position Readout • Machine Information Panel • Verify Window • Jog Control Panel • Program Window • Status Bar • Homing The Mill • Setting up Tool Libraries • Editing Functions

  3. Program Interface

  4. Help Print Run/Pause/Stop Program Cut/Copy/Paste Save File Verify Program Open File Operator Panel Toggle New File Jog Control Toggle Standard Tool Bar

  5. Output Toolbar Spindle On/Off Output # 1 On/Off Output # 2 On/Off Robot # 1 On/Off Robot # 2 On/Off

  6. Input Toolbar Emergency Stop Switch Safety Shield Indicator Plus Limit Input Indicator Minus Limit Input Indicator Robot # 1 Input On/Off Robot # 2 Input On/Off

  7. Operator Panel Stops program Skips lines in program with an “/” at beginning Cycle Start Stops when (M01) is reached in program Run in Single Step mode Immediately pauses program Overrides spindle speed set in program by percentage Overrides feeds set in program by percentage

  8. Position Readout X axis position of spindle Y axis position of spindle Z axis position of spindle

  9. Position Panel Menu Right click on control panel to display Fly-out Menu

  10. Set coordinate system to work on one of six part coordinate systems Send mill to a specified coordinate Set machine position Position Panel Menu Change between inch and metric units Set current position to 0,0,0

  11. Machine Information Panel Current tool number Elapsed time of current job Current feed rate set in program Diameter of current cutting tool Current spindle speed set in the program Number of passes made in current program Total number of blocks in the program Current coordinate system Block sequence number of block being executed

  12. Verify Window Verify window used to test program code before attempting to cut a part. This option creates a simulation based on code and description of tools in tool library.

  13. Verify Setup Select solid or centerline to represent tool and block Slide bar to tilt block in window Zoom in/out or fit block in window (all) Provides three predefined views: top, front, and isometric Slide bar to rotate block

  14. Identifies initial tool position. Used to verify and provide reference for verification process. Set origin of stock at (0,0,0). Most parts use upper left corner. Verify Setup Stock Set size of stock in Verify window.

  15. Verify Setup Options Centerline options Automatically refreshes display structure if wireframe is changed Automatically refreshes Verify window when structure of solid is changed Displays tool Shows rapid moves made by tool

  16. Jog Control Panel Adjusts jog feed rate Slow (1in./min) Med (12in./min) Fast (50in./min) Enables keyboard control (F4) Identifies incremental step distances when jogging machine Positive Y Axis jog (up arrow) Positive Z Axis jog (plus sign) Step at .001 inch (A) Step at .010 inch (B) Positive X Axis jog (right arrow) Switches from incremental to continuous movement Step at .100 inch (C) Negative Z axis jog (minus sign) Negative X axis jog (left arrow) Negative Y axis jog (down arrow)

  17. Jogging

  18. Jog Control Panel

  19. Jog Control Panel Change the feed rate for slow, medium, and fast settings Set the incremental steps for A, B, and C

  20. Program Window

  21. Program Window

  22. Standard cut/copy/paste Program Window Will evaluate selected code Jump to a specific line number Automatically renumbers the program Saves the file in its current location Run the program without prompting Verify the program without prompting Estimate length of program

  23. Prompts user or provides current information Status Bar Shows whether current home position is valid Indicates the line number of the edit cursor and the total number of lines Shows the state of Caps Lock Indicates whether file was modified since last save Shows state of Number Lock Shows status of program lock Current time

  24. Homing The Mill • Homing occurs when a spindle or cross slide is moved to a known fixed position on a machine. • Homing commands perform two functions • Check against specified coordinates for calibration loss • Provide quick machine setup when part location does not vary

  25. CNC Milling Machine Axis

  26. Machine Zero or Home Position Workpiece Part Reference Zero CNC Milling Machine Y Work Envelope Z X Table
