GOTO command not working with 5 axis program

Share your code and explain what you are looking for

Thanks for the reply.

Shortly I will share the code.

But here is the quick description:

1. I made a rotational Toolpath transform. There were 21 toolpath after the transform.

2. Since the search block takes time because of program length, I decided to skip the blocks using Goto command.

3. So at the start of the program I gave a label and at the start of each Toolpath I gave a destination.

Like following example:

Goto Label2 

Label2:

... Toolpath codes...

Label3:

... Toolpath codes...

etc.,

4. Now I change the variable name at the start depends on where to jump.

5. This works perfectly fine for 3 axis program. But the same is not working for 5 axis program. It throws up an error with "Alarm 14080: Jump destination not found"

6. I ensured the correct syntax, but still it is not working

Grievous, I don't have any problem using Goto command, frame rotation commands & changing angle values in Cycle800 command in my 3-axis program.

But, in 5 axis program, all these are not working. I tried switching off TRAORI command by using TRAFOOF command and I also I tried using ORIWKS command. But nothing works!

Basically I want to skip or goto the particular instance of the rotational transform.

Not only goto, even changing the C axis value in Cycle800 is also not working.

Anybody have any clue about this problem?

You can't re-orient a tilt/rotary while CYCLE800 is active.

The problem is solved with the help of Christopher Pollack from Siemens Industries.

The problem was due to the buffer memory size and it has nothing to do with the 5 axis commands.

By default my controller reads only 500 lines into the buffer and since the GOTO destination was placed after 500 lines, I got the "Jump destination not found" error, even though the GOTO destination was present with proper syntax.

And I got another reason to use Arc/Spline interpolation!

Thank you.
