This presentation will show you how to create a
completely new VQC Template. You should review
the VQC Templates presentation prior to this one
to get a basic understanding of customizing
templates. This presentation will use an aid
called the Template Builder. It is simply a
spreadsheet with some grids and code samples to
make it a little easier to see how templates are
created.
5
Open the Template Builder and go to the
Basic worksheet.
6
You will notice that there are some basic shapes
and sample code that you can alter when creating
a custom template.
7
Lets say you want to create a template for
finishing the ID of a part like that shown.
8
First delete the 3 lines indicated. They will
not be needed.
9
Click on one of the Arcs and then select Format.
10
Now Select Auto Shape
11
From the menu, Select Size
Change the Height and Width to 200. You may
also have to adjust the height and width to get a
arc with a radius of 6 blocks
12
XDist
Repeat this procedure with the second arc.
YDist
13
XDist
Move the two arcs so they are centered above and
equidistant from the datum.
YDist
14
XDist
Move the vertical line so that it connects the
left side of the two arcs.
YDist
You will need to shorten it a little to make it
fit.
15
XDist
Copy and paste the vertical line. (You can use
Ctl C for copy and Ctl V for paste).
YDist
You may want to zoom in to see the objects better.
16
XDist
Move the copied line so that it connects the
right side of the two arcs.
YDist
17
XDist
Copy and paste this arrow line
Move it to the position shown. The size will
need to be shortened.
YDist
Dont worry if your drawing doesnt look perfect.
18
XDist
Copy and paste the small horizontal line
YDist
Move it to the position shown.
19
XDist
Type the word Radius in the cell indicated.
YDist
20
XDist
Move a small horizontal line to the position
indicated.
Radius
YDist
21
XDist
Move the other small horizontal line to the
position indicated.
Radius
YDist
22
XDist
Move this arrow line to the position shown. The
size will need to be shortened.
Radius
YDist
23
XDist
Now, similarly move the other arrow line.
Radius
YDist
Then move YDist to the cell between the two
arrows.
24
XDist
This will probably be enough of a drawing for our
part. When we get to the G-code, however, we may
discover that we need to add something, so we
wont delete the unused lines just yet.

In this view, the colors of the segments in the
drawing have been matched to the code that
applies to each segment. Your next task will be
to determine the end points for each segment and
create the code.

Lets take a look at the first eight lines of
code. These have more to do with format than the
picture we will create.

You can make line numbers and NAMES whatever you
want (within some length restrictions).

Next, look at the location of the datum. Using
the numbers along the bottom and right side of
the graph, you can see that its center is at
19,17.

XDist
Similarly, you will need to find the end points
for each segment of the template drawing and
create the code.
Radius
YDist
Look at this line. You should see that its end
points are 13,10 and 13,24.

N2000 (CATEGORY) (NAME Custom) N2100 (TEMPLATE)
(NAME ID w Radius) (DIAGRAM) (LINE 0,0
40,0) (CENTER LINES) (LINE 0,0 0,37)
(DATUM 19,17) (LINE 8,31 30,31) (CW

(Radius) (POSITION 17,23) (SpdleRpm ) (NO

(Feedrate) (END PARAMETERS)
Using these points (13,10 13,24) change the
blue code for LINE
The code should read (LINE13,1013,24). The
parentheses and brackets are important. Each
line of code must be enclosed in parentheses.
Coordinates are placed within brackets.
YDist
31
Now create the code for the second line.
You should have found that its end points are
25,10 and 25,24. Notice that the Y coordinates
are the same as the previous line.
Copy the code for the first line but change the X
coordinates
32
Now lets do the arcs. For an arc you need to
define a radius as well as end points. What is
the radius and end points for the top arc?
End Points 13,24 and 25,24 You should note that
theses are the same as the endpoints of the two
lines. Radius 6
33
Change the green code for arc (CW) to match the
coordinates and radius.
You should have (CW13,24 25,24). This
direction (CW) has nothing to do with the actual
tool movement. It is simply the direction from
the first point to the second point.
34
Looking at the other arc we see that its end
points are 13,10 and 25,10 (the beginning
points of the two lines). Therefore we need the
following line of code (CW25,1013,10). Or
(CCW13,1025,10).
Enter the code (CW25,1013,10) after the other
arc.
35
Next lets work on the arrows. They are similar
to lines in that you need a start and end point,
however it is more important which point you list
first. The arrowhead will be at the second
point. The coordinates for each of the three
arrows are shown at the right.
19,24 19,30
27,17 27,24
27,16 27,10
36
Create three lines of code similar to the red
code for the three arrows.
(ARROW19,2419,30) (ARROW27,1727,24) (ARROW
27,1627,10)
37
Now add the code for the small lines at the end
of the arrows. Their end points are 18,24 /
20,24 26,24 / 28,24 and 26,10 / 28,10.
The code is shown on the next slide.
38
This completes the code for the DIAGRAM
section. The text (Radius, and Ydist) in this
diagram will be placed in the PARAMETER section,
which we will cover next.
G54
If you wanted to enter some other text in the
diagram, you would use a PRINT statement and give
the coordinates for where you want the text to
begin. For example (PRINT18,15 G54)
39
(PARAMETERS) (ToolNo) (NO DECIMAL)
(WrkOfset) (NO DECIMAL) (XPos) (YPos)
(SpdleRpm ) (NO DECIMAL) (DpthCut) (YDist)
(POSITION 35,16) (Feedrate) (END
PARAMETERS)
Here is the sample code for the PARAMETER
section. The lines indicated are pretty standard
and will not need to be modified for this
example. You could however, have some standard
numbers for Tool Number, Work Offset, Rpm, or
Feedrate instead of requiring the operator to
input these.
40
(PARAMETERS) (ToolNo) (NO DECIMAL)
(WrkOfset) (NO DECIMAL) (XPos) (YPos)
(SpdleRpm ) (NO DECIMAL) (DpthCut) (YDist)
(POSITION 35,16) (Feedrate) (END
PARAMETERS)
We wont need the operator to input an X or Y
position, so you can delete those lines.
41
(PARAMETERS) (ToolNo) (NO DECIMAL)
(WrkOfset) (NO DECIMAL) (SpdleRpm ) (NO
DECIMAL) (DpthCut) (YDist) (POSITION
35,16) (Feedrate) (END PARAMETERS)
To make the required input clearer, you should
change DpthCut to Zdepth.
You will also need to change the coordinates or
POSITION of YDist.
42
(PARAMETERS) (ToolNo) (NO DECIMAL)
(WrkOfset) (NO DECIMAL) (SpdleRpm ) (NO
DECIMAL) (Zdepth) (YDist) (POSITION 35,16)
(Feedrate) (END PARAMETERS)
On the graph, you can see that YDist starts at
location 26,17. This is what you will need to
put in the POSITION line.
Note There must be a space between POSITION
and the bracket.
43
(PARAMETERS) (ToolNo) (NO DECIMAL)
(WrkOfset) (NO DECIMAL) (SpdleRpm ) (NO
DECIMAL) (DpthCut) (YDist) (POSITION
26,17) (Feedrate) (END PARAMETERS)
Another piece of information we need the operator
to input is the radius of the arcs. So, you will
need to add a PARAMETER for Radius.
44
(PARAMETERS) (ToolNo) (NO DECIMAL)
(WrkOfset) (NO DECIMAL) (Radius)
(SpdleRpm ) (NO DECIMAL) (Zdepth)
(YDist) (POSITION 26,17) (Feedrate) (END
PARAMETERS)
Also, since Radius shows on the template, you
also will need to add a POSITION statement.
The coordinates for Radius are 17,23.
(Radius) (POSITION18,23)
(POSITION 17,23)

At this point, you may want to create a program
to make the cut for the part (if you dont
already have one). Here is an example of how we
might write the code for this part.

G03 X2. R2. G01 Y0 G40 X1.5 Y1. G00 Z1. M09 G28
G91 Y0 Z0 M05 M30
You now have to determine what information the
operator will provide and what you will need to
calculate. The underlined codes at the right
will not vary so we will not need variables for
these.

(YDist) (POSITION 26,17) (Feedrate) (END
PARAMETERS)
Compare the code to your list of PARAMETERS. We
first see that the operator will need to input a
tool number represented by the variable ToolNo.
Change the code T1 to TToolNo.
The statement NO DECIMAL indicates that the
operators input for ToolNo will be interpreted
as a whole integer.

Next, we see the operator will input a work

The next line of code shows a Spindle Speed. This
is also input by the operator as SpdleRpm.

There is also a feed rate and a depth of cut that
the operator will input, represented by the
variables Feedrate and Zdepth.
Change the code Z-0.5 to ZZdepth and F25.

Positioning commands may be a little more
complicated. Lets say for the first move in X,
for Cutter Compensation, we want to feed to a
distance of the tool nose radius plus 0.1 from
the side of the part. This could be represented
by X(Radius-TNR-0.1). However, we have not yet
defined TNR.

If there is an error, it will show what the error
is and the line number where it is located. It
will not show all the errors at once. Make
corrections with a text editor (there is a menu
selection for one in the VQC for PC) and run the
checker again.
Before you run the checker again on an edited
file, make sure you have closed the file in the
text editor.
68
If everything is O.K. you will get this message.
Close the window by pressing and return to
the basic program.

Look at the template diagram and make sure
everything looks right. If you need to make
adjustments (like the length of the arrow) make
the corrections in a text editor and run the
template again.

Once you are satisfied with how the template
looks, enter some data and check the program
output. Then try it out on a Control in Graphics
Mode.

Instead of using the Template Builder, you
could just draw a sketch on some graph paper, or
use a drawing or CAD program. Making the drawing
on a graph will help you to plot the points. You
could then use the sample program in this
presentation or the Manual to help you construct
the necessary code.
