Makino m-codes

[DavidB]

In the operation manual.

M250 GI,super GI standard mode

M251 GI,Super GI quick mode

M252 GI,Super GI hidh-precision mode

M253 GI,Super GI special mode

M254 GI,Super GI M254 mode

M255 GI,Super GI M255 mode

 

Anyone know anything about these M codes and how to use them with SGI?

[Rick Henrickson 65]

you use them with your g5 p10000

diffrent tolerance modes

The book should describe them

[Redfire427]

These mcodes control the accuracy and also the speed at which your part will be cut. M250 is the standard mode and its tolerance is approx .0001 M251 is the high performance mode which has a wider tolerance approx .0008 and is used primarily for roughing operations and will run according to Makino approx 30% faster than M250. M252 is the highest accuracy and its tolerance is right around .00007, or just under a tenth and it will run about 30% slower than M250. When I say slower, I mean the control pays more attention to the details so it controls the accel and decel more accurately which obviously affect machine run time. M253 is a custom mode that Makino can write for you but is not highly recommended.
