You're 100% on point with all of this! I am trying to do some exotic things with macros right now and stumbled into your vid. You are a guy that probably has the answers I seek.....ha
@@cnctrainingcentre603 I will try to explain, yet be brief. We would like to employ either macros and/or subs to basically step out of the control and program, to an external device such as a micro PC, then allow the PC device to check certain things like we will say coolant level sensor, then have PC return to CNC program with say an M99. G65 is also an option, and we have started to look at features such as 'Dprnt'. This may not be possible as the external sub would not be in the CNC directory.
do you HAVE TO have a CYCLE CALL line BEFORE cycle definition? and a TOOL DEFINITION BEFORE TOOL CALL ? i try to create programs using the soft keys but i cant test run it the only thing that simulates for me is lines that i create using "L" and axes movements.
Great video! I have a 31i control on my machine. When I press the offset key, it only displays the tool offsets, there is no button for the work offsets (the machine manufacturer made their own UI that is a little more aesthetically pleasing and easier to use, but I want to learn how to do it purely with the Fanuc UI). Do you know the 31i control? Is there a different way to get it to show the work offset tables? Perhaps the button for that is hidden and needs to be shown - is that a thing in Fanuc? This is my first Fanuc control, I've been using Fagor all my life. Thanks! David
I actually just watched your video on 31i... My same question above still applies... I have no way of viewing the work offset table when I push offsets. Is there a way to display that button, or is this a case of 'contact the machine manufacturer'? Thanks again
Hi sir can you theach us how to back up all programs in fanuc plus series cnc . We have cnc screen like this one in the video. We had some error alarms that could not make it. Thank you..
Hi Sir. Can you explain how to take all programs back up to USB driver in fanuc Plus series cnc. We work with Fanuc Plus series cnc . We could not make it properly..May there is a parameter we should change before .İs there any other way to make it.. Thank you..
Hi, thanks for your video. I am trying to learn edgecam and still a beginner. I mostly use it for turning. However I am getting an error called “ the datum does not lie in the workplane “ when doing milling with radial tools, could you please give me a tip on this. thanks again
Retract. So it tells the tool how far above z0 to retract before going to the next xy cordinate. Ita there so the machine doesnt just go to the next point while its negative on the z-axis, hope that helps
Quick question.. In Heidenhain, If i was to set the datum in XYZ. But then i wanted to alter the Z by +100mm (to test the program). Is there a method to do this that doesnt involed manually bring the tool down the Z100 and resetting the datum? For example when using Fanuc you can just input+ a value into your G54 offset Hope that all makes sense. Thankyou 👍
Press Set W0 then move to Z axis and press = and the calculator will appear. Then press +100. then press ACCEPT or ENTER Thanks for watching my video hope this helps email david@cnctraingcentre.com if you need more help
Ive been using Manual Guide i for simulating my hand written turning programs for over 5 years. I had no idea about the Cycle Time tip. I will be adding that into all my programs now and i can keep my stop watch in the drawer. Cheers mate 👍
excellent tip thank you. im currently machining a part with a very tight tolerance bore, 30mm dia -0+0.01mm by 40mm deep, at the deep end i am around .005mm larger in diameter which is half of my total tolerance. very helpful indeed thanks
Buena tarde me podría ayudar tengo un problema con cnc fanuc Hardinege vmc 1000 2 no puedo ejecutar ningún comando ni mandar a casa ningún eje ya que esta activado el ATC y no se quita esa alarma
