1. It is not easy to distinguish each action of upper step 5 because of its continuous motion.
2. Please cancel the canned cycle and tool compensation, etc. before the tool change.
3. A interference can be occured between the tool and the workpiece, if all axes
move simultaneously in rapid traverse for tool change.

1. It is not easy to distinguish each action of upper step 2 because of its continuous
motion.
2. In case of V430 and VC500, step 1-2 should be performed to prevent crash of
big size workprece against the guideway protector for Z-axis.
3. Please cancel the canned cycle and tool compensation, etc. before the pallet
change.
4. A interference can be occured between the tool and the workpiece, if all axes
move simultaneously in rapid traverse for pallet change.
The following two methods are recommended when using large tool, and the second one needs
special care in programming.
1) The method to empty the adjacent pots of all tools
To use all tools like as large tool.
2) The method to use always the same pot for large tool
To load always the large tool into the designated pot which adjacent pots are empty, if large
tool used.
Step Operation Remark
1 Empty the adjacent pots when a – Loading tool
large tool used
2 Input “00” as the number of skipped pot. – Refer to 3.3.5
3 Do program as like the process – Programming
described below when calling the large tool
Cutting with small tool
Tool change
No tool
Cutting with large tool called.
Tool chagne
- In case of ACE-VC400(DVC400)
It is not nessessary to follow the mentioned above explanation because ACE-VC400 being
equiped with fixed pot type ATC. But, if a tool is existing at spindle or waiting pot, do not load a
tool into the magazine pot numbered same as spindle tool number.
Otherwise the tool in the spindle or waiting pot and the tool in the magazine will make crash
each other.
1) T code
As the code to call tool, it is used to move the selected tool in tool magazine to the waiting pot
position.
Example) T03 ;
2) S code
The code to command the spindle speed.
Example) S3000 ;
3) G code
As the main function code for programming and operation, please refer to NC instruction
manual for the detail contents because of the difference among all NCs.
4) M code
As the code for ON/OFF of auxiliary functions, they are classfied by function as follows and
differ from each other machine because of its specifications.
1. Function start A : Function started with commanded action simultaneously in the
block
2. Function start B : Function started after other actions commanded in the block
is finished completely in the block
3. Function continue C : function valid until cancel or change in other block
4. Function continue D : Function valid only in the block
