code question cincinati milacron

[dforsythe]

I have a new customer that has a a bunch of Cincinati Milacron sabre 1500 ERO's

 

he sent me some sample code, but im looking for a source that defines them a little better. he dosnt have the books that came with them. IS the W code below like an R? for example it looks like it as used a the reference or clearance plane but im not sure why it is called out so often. Also i see code like G81.0. is this required?

 

Thanks, Damian

I wrote a drilling program for one of these a while back, will try to dig it up.

It was NOT fun, machine control is very odd. I think it was the 1st CNC control EVER.

When the clearance plane is reached the Z axis retracts the tool by the value of the W measured from the work surface.

^^ what he said.

There is a parameter in the machine that sets what we know as the "R" value. Lets call this parameter "V" ours is set to .03

 

here is a drilling line from my program

G83 X.... Y..... Z.... R0.(distance past V tool will retract between pecks) K.1 (peck depth, 1st peck will be triple the value of K) J1 ( = chip break cycle (J0 would be full peck cycle)) W1.5 (distance past "V" tool will retract between holes) Feed & speed.

 

Good luck, I haven't made a program for this machine in 2 years and hope I never have to again!!!!!!

thanks for help guys!
