fanuc wire subprogram post

[fuzzy71e]

I want to post out my burn call settings in a seperate subprogram. Anyone have any luck doing this? I have three Fanuc Robocut wires and am trying to do this with X2 software. Want code to look like this:

Maybe Roger Martin will chime in. Hes a wire expert. Im sure it can be done. He done a similar thing for me.

fuzzy71z,

 

i have 3 fanuc wires also but i don't use subs.ijust window contour all of the geometry using the color mask and write the entire program.the reason i do that is because i don't want to have to figure out what main program goes with what sub.

 

another way to do multiple geometrys that are identical is at the end of the first one,put a rapid move to your next wire position at the end of of your program before the m30. then insert a g74 p1.this will reset your measure pt. and all you have to do is hit cycle start.put a m01 on the line after the rapid move and turn that on in your machine when you get to your last geometry so that it will stop and not rapid tothe next point.

Thanks Toolman184,

I hope to here from Roger, this has been a real issue for us here lately. Alot of investment with no return so far.

Del,

Thanks for the info, I will give it whirl if I can't make post work the way I would like.

you have mail

[fuzzy71e]

Del,

I see how this works, pretty cool. My concern is would I have to repeat all the burn settings for each new location? If so, that becomes a problem for me because I often wire parts with over 300 holes. I have been doing this with V7.2 mill,for making the main or position program. Then adding the necessary subs. I would think x2 should be able to seperate the burn sets as well as the geometry into different subprograms. It does create the main position program and will put the hole or contour geometry into a sub but wants to repeat the burn sets for each hole or contour. This uses alot of unnecessary code, and if I needed to run the last skim cut for any reason block deleting the subprogram is very simple.

here is how mine post out a sub program.

6 1.00 dia holes spaced 1.5apart

i window contour all holes,check use sub programs and all contours use same sub.

you will have to save the main as one program and the sub as another one to put into machine. does this work for you

what i havn't figured out how to do or if it is possible,is have the main and sub all as one program.i'm not sure fanuc will let you do that.

[fuzzy71e]

Del,

The code that I have posted is what I use in our Fanucs. The one you sent me would work but repeating the burn settings is what I would like to not have to do. Putting them into their own subprogam and then calling the geometry from there will reduce the amount of code greatly. Just like you have done by putting the hole geometry into a subprogram

Fuzzy

[Guest]

fuzzy, if you don't want all of the code then you can loop it like this.

 

you will have 2 main prgs. and 1 sub.

 

example of a 1.0 hole spaced 1.5 inches apart 6 times.

 

THE LOOP NUMBER REPRESENTS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF COPIIES INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL

 

THE SECOND MAIN CALLS THE SUB

Del DUDE thats it,

Did you do this without editing ???

[fuzzy71e]

Del,

If you did post this from x2 then the loop call could be removed and more locations could be added to the main which would give me almost what I am looking for. Removing the "G92 X0 X0" line from the geometry subprogram I think would be it.

Let me know .

Fuzzy

[Guest]

fuzzy, the only way i know to do this is manually write the the two mains.

 

i usually just post all of the code no matter how long it is.

 

the thing i don't like about the loop is that it will rapid to a phantom position at the very end.i would put an m01 at that rapid move block and turn the m01 on in the machine at the last contour.

 

be sure and dry run a sample program before doing this.

[Guest]

the loop has to be manually written. i would think your post could be modified to write only one set of

power settings and offsets when using subs, but that is over my head.i'm sure there are people here who could help you with that.

[fuzzy71e]

Del,

Thank you very much for your time with this problem. It looks like using x2 to do this will be a step backwards from how I have been doing it with v7 mill. I do like your loop program for doing holes that are the same distance from each other, and will give it a try.

Thanks Again

Fuzzy

[Guest]

your welcome,

 

like i said i am sure hat you can get your post to output it like you like with some post guru's.

as long as all of your geometry is the same you should be able to window contour all geometry,even is spacing is varied, create a main with only one set of offset calls and one set of power settings,and only one subprogram of your geometry. x2 will do that now,but it still writes multiple d1 s1 for each move.
