Program Help?

[Dontlietomeman]

I am using a 6" Diamond wheel to grind High Purity Quartz glass.

I need to mill:

x7, y0, z0.

x7, y0, z-1. then

x7.01, y0, z0.

x7.01, y0, z-1. then

x7.02, y0, z0.

x7.02, y0, z-1.

It seems simple enough. But I want to use cutter comp to change the x7. number to a differnt number, say x7.002 or x7.004 so that the operator can use cutter comp. to change the final size.

 

Thanks for any help

Thats kind of a wierd one for me Carl. Plunging in Z while advancing in Y with cutter comp on so that it affects Y.

 

If I was doing this, I'd program the numbers just like you have and then measure the cut and adjust the offset Y number to get the result I need.

 

Sounds like very interesting work. All I've ever cut is metal.

 

HTH.
