Complement explanation for HF system verion7.0
HF(V7.0) can run in two mode conventional and expanded. We can

select mode in main menu [system parameter]. As long as not working in
processing state, we can switch mode conveniently.
1 ． Usually, working under ‘expanded mode’, some instability
coming from computer can be avoid.
2．To work under ‘expanded mode’, you must set the computer’s
ramdrive disk (as long as you don’t cancel it, setting one time is ok). You
can use ‘set/cancel ramdrive disk’ in ‘system parameter’under main menu to
set ramdrive disk. HF automatically set the ramdrive disk to 30M. So you
must calculate the computer’s memory: under DOS, it is greater than 32M;
under Windows98/ME,it is greater than 64M.
3．Though the default setting is ‘conventional mode’ when first
install this software. But we suggest you set the computer’s ramdrive disk,
and change the mode to ‘expanded mode ’.
Note: V7.0 software must use with V7.0 softdog. Otherwise you
can’t enter the system.

Program instruction
Chapter 1 Program
After the computer system is initiated, input “a” under DOS prompting symbol
and press “ENTER”, i.e., c>a↙. A picture of “Digital Control Electric Sparking
Linear Cutting Machine System” appears. Press “ENTER” and enter the processing
window. In this window, click function icon of “Program”, and then enter main menus
of HDG linear cutting program window shown as follows (Figure 1.1.1).
Program window is committed to introduce all menus functions、corresponding
operations, drawing and compiling of graphs, etc.
1.1 Description of Main Menu and Software
1.1.1 Main Menu of Program Window
Main menu of program Window is shown as follow. It is composed of 6
functional sub-menus. They are “Process”, “Program”, “4-Axes”, “Parameter”,
“Other” and “Vector”.
Figure 1.1.1
In which:
Process: Switch to processing window directly from program window
Program: the function sub-menu of drawing graph.
Vector: Vector bit map
4-Axes: the functional sub-menu, which will perform integrated processing
on graph with different upper and bottom surfaces.
Parameter: the functional sub-menu to perform system parameter setup. In
general, the parameter is forbidden to change.
6
Program instruction
Other: the functional Sub-menu to perform regular processing on files.

1.1.2 Description of programming software
1.1.2.1 Software Structure
Linear cutting program software adopts tree type interactive software structure.
The specific form is shown as following:
Figure 1.1.2
For example, as for “Program” function, when drawing graphs, from beginning
of “Program”, user can go to submenus step by step. After drawing is finished, user
can exit sub-menu step by step. Operations of other menus are similar to this.
1.1.2.2 Drawing Method
There are two ways of drawing graphs when system software is programming:
(1) Drawing graph with auxiliary line;
(2) Drawing graph with traces.
In which:
Auxiliary point, auxiliary straight line, auxiliary circle——called “auxiliary line” by a
joint name;
Trace, trace circle (include circle) ——called “Trace” by a joint name.
1.1.2.3 Trace Generation Method
After drawing is finished, traces required by processing have to be generated. There
are two ways to generate processing traces:
(1) If the graph is shown with “auxiliary line”, the steps to generate traces are given as
follows:
After “take auxiliary point”, “Take auxiliary line”, or “take auxiliary arc” is
7
Program instruction
finished→ pick the point of intersection→ change the auxiliary line between two
points into traces with “Pick trace”.
(2) If the graph is drawn with “trace”, the traces can be taken out with “draw line”,
“draw arc”, “regular curve”, etc.
Direction: After the graph becomes traces, it is necessary to add “lead-in line”
and “lead-out line”(i.e., feed-in line and feed-out line).
Note: After “lead-in line” and “lead-out line” are added, if the graph is required
to modify, “order for traces” has to be performed on the graph, otherwise, the
generated processing list is probably wrong.
1.1.2.4 Common Basic Technical Terms and Agreements of Software
(1) Auxiliary line: Geometric element, used to calculate and generate traces. It
includes point, line and arc. In the software, point is expressed as “red”, line is
expressed as white and arc is expressed as highly bright white.
(2) Traces: Curve segment with starting point and terminal point. Line segment in
traces is expressed as light blue and arc segment is expressed as green.
(3) Cutting line direction: The direction from starting point to terminal point of
cutting.
(4) Lead-in and lead-out line: A special cutting line (called feed-in line and feed-out
line in general), expressed as yellow. They appear in pairs.
(5) Agreement:
1) In “Program”, if confirm a point or line with mouse at first, the user can also
input parameters of next point or line with mouse or keyboard; But if input
parameters of a point or line with keyboard at first, it is impossible to confirm
next point or next line with mouse.
2) In order to assign a point, a line, an arc or a known value accurately in following
drawing operations, the system software allows to make marks on points, lines,
arcs and values:
Pn (n=0,1,2,……) means point, the system defaults P0 as origin point of
coordinate;
Ln (n=0,1,2,……) means line, the system defaults L1 and L2 as X axis and Y axis
of coordinate respectively;
Cn(n=0,1,2,……) means arc;
V n(n=0,1,2,……) means value, the system defaults PI as π
( π =3.1415926……)。

1.2.1 “Program” window

Under the main menu, click “program” to enter following window.
Figure 1.2.1
The “Program” window has 3 areas: graph display area, function chosen area 1,
function chosen area 2, in which:
Graph display area: the area to display drawing graph. During the whole
“Program” procedure, this area always exits;
Function chosen area 1: the area used in drawing graph. During the “Program”
procedure, it varies with menu. When graph is being drawn, this function chosen area
has detail operation;
Function chosen area 2: the menu area used when graph is changed. During
“Program” procedure, it also varies with menu. When graph is being drawn, there is
dialogue prompting and hot-key prompting directions in this area.
For example:
After choose sub-function of “center, R” in “Take auxiliary arc” function,
following window (Figure 1.2.1) appears:

Specification of interface
To enter the machining interface, please select [machining] from main
menu or select [turning machining] in full drawing programming mode.
Before machining, please prepare machining files. This system produces

absolute G code. If you use no-cone mode, system produces 3B machining
files.
To prepare machining file, you can use one of following methods:
1、In [full drawing programming], please select [execution1] or [execution2]
after you draw pictures. And system will enter [postposition]. Now, system will
produce no-cone G code files or cone G code file or changing cone G file.
These file’s suffix name is “2NC or 2 axis” , “3NC or 3 axis”, “4NC or 4 axis”
2、Select [different face synthesize] from main menu，system will produce
the G code file of product whose upside and downside are not in the same
face. It’s suffix file name is “4NC or 4 axis”。Of course, before [different
face synthesize], you must prepare HGT picture files which is draw in full
drawing programming .
Now, we have machining file. We can begin to machine. The machining
menu is following:
63
A、Parameter setting
Use can use the item of [Parameter] to set parameter .As followed：
To machine cone degree and different and different face object (four axes
linkage), you must set “the distance between under idler pulley and top idler
pulley ”,“the distance between under idler pulley and work desk”, “radius of
idler pulley” .When four axes linking, including small cone degree, system use
precise calculation. It has considered that idler pulley may produce error for the
X,Y,U,V axis movement trace. When machining plane, this three parameter is
not used. You can set any value to them.
[short circuit testing time]：It is used to judge whether there is short circuit
when machining. Usually, set it to 5—10 second.
[clean corner delay tmei]：It is set for the delay of transition between
segments. It’s aim is to smaller the trace error produced by electrode wire
bending at the corner. It’s default value is zero.
[back step] ： If shorting when machining, the system will go back
automatically. The step of going back is decided by this item. Manual going
back also use this item.
[Speed of going back]：This item is used for both automatical and manual
going back。
64
[empty walk speed]：When empty waling, moving axis, going to origin,
finding center, finding border , the speed is decided by this item。
[Delay time for reporting when finishing incising and stopping]：The time
for reporting after finishing machining. You can set it.
[The maximal speed of incision]：When machining very thick or very thin
piece, because of the instability of sampling frequency, there may some
unnecessary short circuit report. You can set maximal speed to solve it.
[machining thickness]：To calculate machining efficiency, you must set the
thickness of machining part.
[idler pulley parameter]：This item include idler pulley type, idler pulley
radius, distance between up idler pulley and under idler pulley, distance
between under idler pulley and work desk. User can set them according to
machine tool.
[X、Y、U、V axis type]：It must be set and set once.(Usually machine tool
producer set it).
[XY axis tooth compensation]：This is an option. It is used to compensate
the error when the tooth gap of machine tool’s pole changes. You must measure
the tooth gap; otherwise the machining precision will be weaken.
[The direction of X drags board.]、[The direction of Y drag board]、[The
direction of U drag board]、[The direction of V drag board]。If a axis’s direction
is opposite to the desired direction, please set it(Usually machine tool producer
set it)
When machining, some parameter can’t be changed at will. When using
[reading disk] to produce machining data, the current parameter is used. For
example, when machining polyhedron, the “distance between two pulleys” is
used. If you change these parameters, some mistake will be produced. When
automatic machining, if you change these
parameters, system will ignore these change.
B、Moving axis
You can manually move XY axis and UV axis.
The moving distance can be automatically or
manually set. As right:
To automatically set, please select “moving
65
distance”. The distance is 1.00，0.100，0.010，0.001。
To manually set，please select “automatically moving distance”. The
distance can be input using keyboard.
C、Checking
If two axis, the display is：
If four axis, the display is：
[display machining sheet]：Display G code machining sheet .If using two

axis, 3B machining sheet is displayed.
[machining data ]：If using four axis, up-surface and down-surface pictures
are displayed. At the same time, the parameter used by ‘reading disk’ and
current parameter are displayed. Please make sure these parameter are
consistent.
[simulation of trace]：when simulating trace, the dragging board don’t
move.
[Inspecting of coming to origin]：As usually, we define the start point of
machining as origin despite of the real picture’s begin point. This definition is
helpful to coming to origin inspection to close picture.
[extremum inspection]：If using four axis machining , the max. and
minimum value of X,Y,U,V axis can be inspected. It’s aim is to make sure that
the machining bound can satisfy you workpiece.
You can see, when using four axis machining, “machining data ” and
“extremum inspection ” is different. And UV dragging board always moves
relative to XY dragging board. So the UV value is relative to XY value.
[calculating idler pulley]：

System can calculate the
parameter of idler pulley, as
right:
The parameter of idler
66
pulley such as the distance between up and down idler pulley, the distance
between down idler pulley and working desk, radius of idler pulley can
influence four axis machining and big cone degree machining . These
parameter can’t be measure exactly. You can using system’s calculating
function to calculate them.
Furthermore, according to theory analysis and experiment, we can
correct the idler pulley distance by differentiation of a up small cone. The rules
is as followed:
If the right is bigger than the left of the cone, you should make the distance
of between the up and down idler pulley bigger. Otherwise, make the distance
smaller.
If the up circle of cone is big, please make the distance between the down
idler pulley and working desk smaller. Otherwise, make the distance bigger.
D、Reading disk
As mentioned before, to machining and incise, you must produce
machining file in full drawing programming mode or in [different plane
synthesize]. The file’s suffix name is “2 axis /2NC”,”3 axis/ 3NC”, “4 axis/
4NC”. Now, you can select [reading disk] to process these files. And then, you
can begin to machining.
As long as you don’t change these parameter in the parameter table, next
time, you needn’t read disk again.
Reading the 2 axis file is quick. But, it will take longer time to read 3 axis
and 4 axis file, you can see the gauge on the bottom of screen.
When the system reading disk, it can process the 3B machining sheet. The
3B machining sheet can also be produce if you use [other] in [postposition].
You can also edit it using [edit text] in [other].Of course, the system can read
other 3B machining sheet producing by other software.
E、Empty walking
Empty walking can be divided to positive direction empty walking, reverse
empty walking, positive direction single segment empty walking, reverse
empty single segment walking. You can interrupt empty walking using“ESC”.
67
F、Moving back
It is manually moving back as mentioned before. You can interrupt
manually moving back using“ESC”. The direction of manually moving back is
relative to the direction of automatic incising. If the system performing positive
direction incision before moving back, it will move back.
G、Orientation
1、Decide the jumping-off point of machining
After [reading disk] a file, system will automatic go to the jumping-off
point. But, if the workpiece is machining completely, and you want to
machining again, you must use [Orientation] to go to the jumping-off point.
Using [Orientation], system can go to end point or a jumping-off point of a
segment.
If system stop when machining, and you want to keep on machining, you
needn’t use [Orientation], and you can use [incision],[reverse incision],
[continue] to carry on machining. [Orientation] is applicable to empty walking.
2、Decide the end point of machining
When positive direction incision, the end of machining is the reporting
point or the end point of the trace.
When reverse direction incision, the end of machining is the reporting
point or the begin point of the trace.
The end point of machining can be changed by the method of Orientation.
3、Make sure whether save the reporting point
The machining jumping-off point, end point, report point are displayed on
screen.
H、Going to origin
Replace the X,Y dragging board and U,V dragging board (if four axis) to
origin (0,0).You can interrupt the reposition using “ESC” key.
I、Centering and aligning border

HF controlling card have the circuit used for centering and aligning border.
The lathe don’t need special circuit. If the clamps is insulated well, this
function can be realized. There are dragging board indication when centering
68
and aligning border. You can interrupt the centering and aligning border using
“ESC”. When using this function, the distance between molybdenum wire’s
beginning point and the border of workpiece must be greater than 1mm.
J、Automatically incising
There are six items in automatically incising. They are [incise], [single
segment], [reverse incising], [single reverse], [continue],[pause]
[Incise] is positive direction incising; [single segment] is positive direction
single segment incise. [Reverse incising] is reverse direction incise. [single
reverse] is reverse direction single segment incise. When automatically incise,
these four item can be switched.。
[Continue] mean continuing incising as last automatically incision
direction.
[Pause] can stop automatically incise. When automatically incise, “ESC”
can’t work.
When automatically incise, the speed is controlled by frequency
conversion. The bigger frequency conversion is, the smaller speed is. The
frequency conversion vary from 1 to 255. When automatically incise, the
frequency conversion can be changed. Press “-” to minish the frequency
conversion. Press “+” to largen it. Press the left key of mouse change the
value of the frequency conversion by 1. Press the right key of mouse change
the value of the frequency conversion by 10.
When automatically incise, if the system automatically coming back
because of short, you can press F5 to interrupt .
When automatically incise, you can do full drawing programming or other
operation. If you select [coming back to main menu], you can select the full
drawing programming or other choice.
In full drawing programming, you can enter the machining menu. If system
stay in automatically machining, the trace and data are displayed on screen.
K、Display picture
When automatically machining, empty waling, simulating, the trace is
displayed.
When automatically machining, the displayed picture can be zoomed in,
zoomed out, moved. When four axis machining, you can switch between plane
69
picture and three-dimensional picture.
L、Others
This system’s interface is usually controlled by mouse. If you want to use
hot-key, please consult [system information].
This system can correct pitch of screws.
This system can protect machining data. If power is turn off suddenly, after
reboot computer, this system can recover machining data.
This system can also protect programming data.

please inspect the screen protect is cancel. Some power management
are set in BIOS.
10. Can HF software be download form HGD website？
We don’t provide download of HGD series software, but we provide
our longtime user with web download. User can get website by our email.
User can download software within 24 hours, after 24 hours, user must
reapply.
11. Can HF automatically update from internet?
Yes. From version6.2, HF can automatically update from internet.
But only special user can use this function.
12.How can HF work efficiently?
Firstly, the computer must work in good condition .The static
and other factor can harm the computer. If computer is instable, the
program running on it will be instable too. So you must keep the
computer work stably.
Windows OS must be full and efficient, and install anti-virus
software. You must update anti-virus software regularly.
Avoid other people use this computer to affect system’s safety.
Avoid lose data.
13．Analysis to the failure of centering
①.Arriving at border, molybdenum wire don’t come back and keep going
ahead
Usually the molybdenum wire don’t touch well with conductive block.
The sampling signal line PM＋、PM－ don’t link well.
②.The wire march a little and go back, but don’t arrive at the border.
Workpiece and molybdenum wire short. Or the insulation between clamp
and lathe bed is weakened. The load resistance of impulse power output loop is
too small. (Usually the resistance must be greater than 250ohm. You can cut off
the power and test it.)
Note: Between the PM＋ and PM－, there is about 0.5V DC adding
between the workpiece and molybdenum wire. There must be no link between
PM＋、PM－ and power supply’s anode and cathode.
