Engraving on Outside diameter

[tonala2004]

I need to program an Integrex 300 SY to perform engraving of serial numbers on outside diameter of disks. I need to be able to input sequential numbers. The control is a 640 Fusion MT. Does anyone have an advice as to how I can accomplish this task.?

Please help.

Well it would be a crazy way but maybe effective way. I would make all the characters as sub programs using the cneter of them as my 0,0 I would then just write a main program calling up the subs in a way to make it be what you want. You could also write a Macro program seen someone with a slcik one around here somewhere but that would be very tricky if the machine does not have axis mapping. I would create all my NC code in Mastercam and then go from there. I know not the easy way but might be an effective way ot look at if nothign esle pops up. Good luck and would liek to know what you come up with.

The only way that I know to accomplish sequential engraving is by using macros. Since I am not familiar with your control, I looked it up on the net. It seems to be pretty advanced, and it should handle macro programming. If you can, find someone who knows macro programming, and have them set you up.

If you are looking to engrave letters on a out side diameter, I would create my letters in the location that I want them then use transform roll.......then go from there. I always end up playing around with the parameters in roll.

 

Is this what you are asking?

Welcome to the forum, sir.

 

I program a 300SY with the same control.

 

I agree with Ron on this one. Use subs.

Thank all of you guys for answering my post. I will try all of your suggestions. Does any of you know where I can find some information about macros and/ or who I can talk to in order to have a macro made for this job.?

 

Thank you again for your help.

Yeah;

 

Programming Unlimited is your local resource for all things MACRO. Mike HUbbard is the guy and he knows his shizzle!!

I just did engraving on our Integrex 200 sy. I did like Jack stated and transformed roll the etching to the part. There are parameters that need to be changed to be sure you are using the "T-32" compatable mode or "standard" mode.

The parameter is P13 bit 3.
