5 Generating loops Introduction to looping Presentation links page for lesson five 5 Generating loops Introduction to looping Comparison to sub-programming A loop that counts to ten Steps to looping How many executions are required? What changes each time through? Peck drilling example application

We can compare looping to subprogramming Looping Defined Looping is the act of causing the control to execute a series of commands a specified number of times Definition: We can compare looping to subprogramming

Comparison To Subprogramming As you know, subprograms can be repeated Repeat subprogram 5 times M98 P1000 L5 But nothing can change from one execution to the next

Steps To Looping Warning! 1) Initialize Counter Number of executions Initialize counter, number of executions, and anything that changes each time through the loop Warning! 1) Initialize Counter Number of executions Anything that changes Change-by amounts Constant variable values Constant position values Always determine the number of executions up-front – You’ll often be tempted to test against axis position to see if your finished

Steps To Looping 1) Initialize 2) Test to see if finished Counter Test if counter is greater than number of executions 1) Initialize Counter Number of executions Anything that changes Change-by amounts Constant variable values Constant position values 2) Test to see if finished If counter is greater-than executions

Steps To Looping 3) Make calculations 4) Perform the loop’s intention Not all loops require this step Make the control do one execution of the loop 3) Make calculations for this loop execution if necessary 4) Perform the loop’s intention Machine workpiece workpiece drill one hole make one milling pass make one peck Make positioning movement Test an offset

Steps To Looping 5) Step anything that changes 6) Go back to the test What changes each time through the loop? The test will eventually be true 5) Step anything that changes Counter Anything else that changes 6) Go back to the test GOTO statement label before test

Two Times Loops Are Required Most common 1) When the number of executions changes 2) When redundant commands can be reduced

How Many Executions? 8 holes You must determine how many times the loop is executed Sometimes it’s easy: Bolt circle 8 holes

The number of holes is the number of executions How Many Executions? You must determine how many times the loop is executed Sometimes it’s easy: 16 holes The number of holes is the number of executions

Divide hole depth by peck depth to determine number of executions How Many Executions? Sometimes it’s harder: Hole depth: 3.0 Peck depth: 1.0 Divide hole depth by peck depth to determine number of executions # of passes = Hole depth Peck depth 3.0 1.0 3 pecks

How Many Executions? Hole depth: 3.125 Peck depth: 1.0 4 pecks? Sometimes it’s harder: But wait… Hole depth: 3.125 Peck depth: 1.0 The hole depth is not evenly divisible by the peck depth! But remember, you must determine the number of executions up front! 3.125 1.0 4 pecks?

We’ve recalculated the peck depth to generate an even number of pecks! How Many Executions? Sometimes it’s harder: Hole depth: 3.125 Peck depth: 1.0 We’ve recalculated the peck depth to generate an even number of pecks! # of pecks = ROUND[HD/PD] 3.125 1.0 Peck depth = HD / # of pecks 3 Pecks 1.0416 per peck

The passes must overlap! How Many Executions? Sometimes it’s much harder: Minimum overlap Passes = FUP[GW / [TW-.02]] 0.125 The passes must overlap! 2 passes? 0.25

How Many Executions? 3 passes Passes = FUP[GW / [TW-.02]] 0.125 0.25 Sometimes it’s much harder: Passes = FUP[GW / [TW-.02]] 0.125 3 passes 0.25

How Many Executions? Regardless of how difficult it seems… Always determine the number of passes “up-front”!

What is the incremental angular distance between the holes? What Changes Each Time? What is the incremental angular distance between the holes? Distance between = 360 / number of holes

What Changes Each Time? Arguments: Hole depth: 3.125 Peck depth: 1.0 As initialized: Number of passes: 3 Peck depth: 1.0416 -3.125 Changing variables: Current appr.: 0.1 Current depth: -1.0416 Change: -1.0416

What Changes Each Time? Arguments: Hole depth: 3.125 Peck depth: 1.0 2nd peck: As initialized: Number of passes: 3 Peck depth: 1.0416 -3.125 Changing variables: Current appr.: -0.9416 Current depth: -2.0832 Change: -1.0416

What Changes Each Time? Z position GW: 0.25 TW: 0.125 3 passes Current Z pos: -1.0 (0.0625) Move over amount: [.25 - .125] / [3-1]

What Changes Each Time? Z position GW: 0.25 2nd pass TW: 0.125 3 passes Current Z pos: -.9375 (0.0625) Move over amount: [.25 - .125] / [3-1]

You must determine what changes each time through the loop! GW: 0.25 TW: 0.125 3rd pass Z position 3 passes Current Z pos: -.875 You must determine what changes each time through the loop! (0.0625) Move over amount: [.25 - .125] / [3-1]

There may be other values needed within the loop Any Other Initialized Values? All changing values must be initialized (set to a starting value) at the beginning of the loop Changing values must be stepped (by the step amount) at the end of the loop There may be other values needed within the loop

Any Other Initialized Values? Bolt hole pattern: Rapid plane Hole bottom position These values are not being stepped. But they are initialized to save calculations each time through the loop. Peck drilling: Initial approach position Grooving: X axis approach Groove bottom position

Prior Positioning Movement? Many loop applications require a prior positioning movement before the loop Bolt hole pattern: To center of the pattern Peck drilling: To Z approach position Grooving: To approach position

What Must Happen Each Time? You must determine what happens each time through the loop Bolt hole pattern: Machine one hole Peck drilling: Make one peck & retract Be careful! Beginners tend to do too much! Grooving: Make one plunge & retract
