1.BEGINNING
The Win Venus for MS-Windows (hereafter, WinV), CAD/CAM
software that supplies various parameters to work freely on
the processing drawing by mouse-use, creates APT program to
operate NC processing machine.
1.1 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

 HARDWARE
IBM PC/AT compatible personal computer(PC), which has a usable
CD Driver and USB port, and should be available to use
following OS properly.
 OS
Microsoft MS-Windows 2000/XP
∗CD driver is indispensable to install the WinVenus
∗USB port is indispensable to use protect dongle. (Using the
USB-Hub is not available.)
1.2.INSTALLATION
i. WinV setup-CD should be put into the CD driver of your
PC.
ii. Click [Start] menu on the task-bar.
iii. Click [Run(R)…] menu and type ‘E:\jWinV800\SETUP.EXE’ in
the opening dialog box. (In case of version 800,
configuration of the folder may be altered).
Here, the drive letter ‘E’ occasionally depends on your
hardware configuration. If the CD drive is assigned with
different letter, address properly instead of ‘E’.
(Right click “My Computer” opens pop up menu and click
[Explore (X)]. This shows available CD drives on your
system so that you can see the drive letter of your CD
drives.)
iv. For the asking which appears during the setup, click the
[Next] button to proceed.
v. After the setup program is finished, confirm wehter the
folder of “jWinV%%“ (%%% is the version number ) is
newly added to the “Program Files” folder by means of
BANDO KIKO
Exproler.
1.2 Both registration and confirmation of necessary

driver
The protector (=protection dongle) is necessary to use the
WinVenus. The normal operation is not executed without
correctly inserting the protection dongle into the USB port.
On the other side, the installation of device–driver is
necessary to use the protector.
∗USB protector is usable after the version of WinVenus 7.42.
1.3.1.Installation of device driver
1・Insert the protector to the USB port.
2・“The wizard of New hardware detection ” will be activated

upon Windows detect it as unknown device. Then, select
“Installing is done from the list or specified location”,
and click the button of “Next”.
3 ・ Specify the folder which has setup information(INF), and

carry out the registration. (The setup information file
is existed in the following folder.)
c:\ProgramFiles\jWinV800\USB(in case of Version 8.00).
* If caution is displayed at this time, select the [Continue]
or [Execute], and go on the installation continuously and
finish it.
4 ・ Confirm that [USB Key]-[Pandora Key] is normally

displayed and activated on the DEVICE-MANAGER. (Device
Manager select [System], and open the [Property of
system], and select and display [Hardware]-[Device
manager] in the control panel.)

・1.3.2.Uninstall
1. Open the device manager while the protection dongle is

attached to the PC.
2. To delete from the device-tree is completed after

selecting [USB Key]-[Pandora Key], and click the
[Delete] button.
・1.3.3.Attach and Detach the Protector(=Protection dongle)
After the registration of the driver, every time when the

protector is inserted into the USB port, it is
automatically detected. However, If it is inserted into
different USB-port which is not same as initially
registered and not normally detected, To re-setup is
necessary.
In case of detaching the protector from the PC, firstly stop
the device with the correct manner. ( In case of XP : Double-
click the icon of [Safety detachment of hardware] on the
right of task-bar, and let the window appear. Herewith select
[Pandora Key],and push the [Stop] button and stop it, after
that, pull the protector from the USB port.
BANDO KIKO
* Forcible Attaching/detaching and rough handling of the

protector will be caused of trouble.

(Supplementation)
Multiple homonymous files which have not same extensions are
generated when naming and saving the current work. The file of
extension BMP is used for the preview of [Open… Ctrl+O] dialog
box of [File(F)] menu. Also, it preserves the CAD data of the
WinV exclusive usage in the file of extension VC5, NC-program
for the shape processing in NCP and NC program for the
breakout equipment in BNP. Also, NC-program for the deletion
device (Front/Back) is saved in CFP/CBP independently, and NC-
program for the drilling device (1/2/3) is saved into
D1P/D2P/D3P independently.
· 3.1.FILE OPEN
When opening a file with [New Ctrl+N] or [Open… Ctrl+O] menu,
the editorial window will be opened.
When opening a file by the [New], always [File → property]
dialog that is the same with [Property] of [File] menu opens.
Here, the machine property on this dialog must be set to open
a new file. Further, for newly created file, the default file
name is as ‘NEW_X’ (X=0,1,2…), so execute [Save as…] to rename
the file properly.

9
In case of selecting the file (.vc5) by the [New Ctrl+N], the

data saved by WinVenus is opened, and selecting the
file(.ncp), the NC-program will be inversed[4.8.3] and will be
opened.
· 3.2.SHAPE IMPORT
In case of the new file, the editorial window is empty first.
Generally, it takes proper point data to define a peripheral
shape by means of ‘Digitizer input’ or ‘Outline’s points data
list’. This data should be expressed the feature of shaped
profile. Finally generated NC-program should be approximated
in the coordination of both arc and straight line, so keeping
sufficient density of points for small curvature is very
important to get high precision. However, increasing the
density of points induce the incorrect shape or distortion
when apply “Smoothing” function, in case that comparatively
big errors are including in the point’s data.
In case that the existing CAD data with a function of “ DXF

file output “, it is possible to import the point data by the
order of “TOOL”-“DXF”-“DXF load” from the DXF file.
However, it is different depend on the CAD-software in the
details, WinV does not support this command for all DXF files.
In case that NC program (text file) for the shape has already
been existed in advance, it can be imported by the command of
[NC] → [NC-Program inverse] menu, it is possible to generate
both arc and straight line segments from the file, and
generates editable shape.
3.3.SHAPE COMPLETION
(Supplementation)
After editing the profiled shape, it is recommended to execute
‘smoothening’ function for the shape.
BANDO KIKO
“START POINT” definition is the operation, which must be

completed before generating NC-program for all machines. It
sets “START-POINT- attribution” as the end point. Under the
actual operation of the machine, when the tool is firstly
arrived to this point on the shaped profile, it is regarded as
the first movement to a definite point on the shape.
As for the opened path(*), a start-point of the path must be

defined as “START POINT”. (It is not possible to define as the
end point.)
(* Path : this route is kept by the direction to trace the
shape, and also it means same as the profiled shape.)
For those machines, which need the movement for approaching
/leaving to /from a work piece by means of tool,such as edging
machines, “ENTRY POINT” and “LEAVE POINT” must be defined.
(Even NC-program can be generated without these points, but
because it induces improper movement of the tool, so these
points always must be defined.)
3.4.NC-PROGRAM GENERATION
Firstly, execute 「 NC-Program 」 → 「 Generate 」 . Secondly, execute
「NC-program」→「Simulate」, and then, simulate the movement on the
PC. Herewith, especially need to take care for the direction
of the tool. If abnormal movement like as the tool is
forwarded into the work-piece too much, it is absolutely
prohibited to operate the machine practically in case of
grinding machine.
3.5.PROGRAM REGISTRATION
NC program can be registered on each NC independently by means
of proper connecting of RS232C cable with 「 NC-
program 」 → 「 Send 」 → 「＊＊＊」（＊＊＊ means Glass Processing
Equipment）.
In case of no connection by the cable, the NC-PROGRAM is
10
11
registered from the PCMCIA CARD SLOT of the NC by means of

both this memory card and adaptor after copying the generated
program file to the memory card(= Compact Flush ).
(Supplementation)
Refer to the operation manual of NC for the actual operation
of NC.
3.6.TEST RUN
By setting the feed rate so as the machine can be stopped

immediately, test run (without loading work pieces) of the NC
program must be done. If any malfunction of the machine is not
obviously admitted in the movement, It is allowed to try to
increase the feed rate gradually up to the normal operation
speed.
Here, actually attempt to process a work-piece, and confirm
the finished precision degree.
(NOTE)
Refer to the machine manual for the operations and processing.

(CAUTION)
The process parameters have important effect to generate
the NC-program by WinV. Normally, there is no need to
change it.
However, the machine operated by improper NC-program may
cause to any broken or troubles, so it should be used
carefully.
It opens ‘File property’ dialog to change the property of

activated file. (Default values decided by the machine type
are set when new file is created.) See also sec. [4.2.1].

 Basis
Some of basic settings are carried out by Venus-Layer.
 “Macro Table”
It defines the name of a macro table file, which is referred
by WinV to generate the NC-program. The extension of this
kind of file is ‘.def’.
(Supplementation)
NC Macro Table File is stored in “System Path“. If specified
file is not existed in here, NC program is not be generated.
The System path is the folder which set in the system of
［Tool］－［User setting］－［Path］.
( Normally, the folder is“c::\Program Files\jWinV800”(in
case of Version 800).
 “Program No.”
It decides the program number (= 4 digits integer) for a
generated NC-program.
BANDO KIKO
 “Radius limit(mm)”
It sets the boundary radius to be regarded the arc as the
straight line. I.e. WinV recognizes the segments having
radius which larger than this boundary radius is regarded as
a straight lines.
 “Maximum “Feed-Rate(mm/min)”
It limits the highest processing speed of NC-programs.
 “Maximum spin (deg./min)”

It sets the clamp value under the small arc with allowable
Z-axis speed.
 “Feed-rate factor”
“Std.(= Standard)” :
It sets the coefficient of the speed calculation, which is
based on arc radius. Increasing this value also becomes
increasing the speed on the arc segment even with the same
radius.
“Ext.(= Extension)”:
Except for the special control, this value always should be
set as ‘0(zero)’.
 “High-speed capacity (mm)”

It sets the shortest distance to accelerate axes’ feeding up
to the maximum speed. Even if the interpolation of the
program block is straight or arc with very large radius,
which is not longer than this distance, the feed-rate value
follows that of the continuing corner.
 “Approach/Departure (0:linear, 1:circular)”

It chooses the course of both approaching and leaving when
the tool begins/finishes processing the work. (Generally,
straight is selected.).
22
23
 “Feed-rate suppress (%)”

When the speed difference between continuing 2 blocks is
within this rate, the speed of the later block follows the
previous one.
 Generating “NC program”
This is the setting only for single head cutting machines.
It is prohibited to use the other type of machines.
(‘0:disable’ on the ‘Cutter correct’ box should be set) !
 “Cutter compensation (1:enable, 0:disable)”

When setting as to ‘1’ in beforehand, the NC-program is
generated under the consideration of off-set error value.
 “Cutter eccentricity”
It sets the center-offset value for trailing the cutting-
wheel.
 “Deviance X”
BANDO KIKO
It sets the distance with sign between the rotational center

of Z-axis and cutting-point of the tool in X-axis direction.
 “Deviance Y”
It sets the distance with sign between the rotational center
of Z-axis and cutting-point of the tool in Y-axis direction.
 “Convert when export (1:enable, 0:disable)”
When the CAD-Date is transferred to the folder which is the
destination of exporting (The initial value is‘c ： \Program
Files\WinV%%%\adat\’)(%%% means the Version), it is set also
whether converting it for WinAce is executed or not.
 “Rotation-angle”
The angle(Z-axis) by the Venus Layer (Cutting/Grinding) is
set here.
 “Normal direction (axis 1,2,3,4)”

Rotating angle for the coordinates of Z-axis is adjusted in
every 90 degree when the(+)Y
tool starts processing of work-
piece.

FIG. 4.
 “Compensation ang.(deg.)” REFERENCED
Normally, WinV decides Z-axis coordinate as the tangent of
arc radius. This value is added to all Z-axis coordinates of
the NC program.
 “Min. rotation (deg.)”

in the firstly clicked position, right clicking make them

switch the subjective target cyclically. then, the choice
is finally determined by another clicking.
 FIGURE AND PATH

‘Figure’ means straight line and arc, and a ‘path’ means an
aggregation of these segments.
 MODAL AND ONE-SHOT COMMANDS

Most of all editorial commands are modal and are able to
execute repeatedly until the other modal command is
selected.
There is a command that one-shot per selection can be
executed.
 DIRECTION OF SEGMENT
All segments (lines and arcs) of WinV contain ‘direction’
attributes while other familiar CAD software does not have.
When it isn't possible to operate successfully, confirm the
direction of both segment or path.
 NUMERICALLY DEFINED SEGMENTS

Numerically generated image-shape is opened at the start and
end points.(Because no other segment combined into them) To
be organized as the shape, it’s necessary to connect them.
