Fanuc parameters for rotary clamp

Recommended Posts

We are searching for a parameter which will automatically clamp/unclamp the rotary table in a Niigata HN-63 with a Fanuc 18M control.

 

We do not want to have M10-M11 before and after each move.

 

The part has a very small true pos. callout and we are having problems holding it without clamping.

 

The program ran last time on a similar machine which does have auto-clamp/unclamp working.

 

Thank you.

Depending on witch post you're using there should be a variable to turn on the lock codes,.....

 

Generic Fanuc:

#Axis locking

rot_lock : 0 #Use rotary axis lock/unlock codes (0 = no, 1 = yes)

slock : "M10" #Axis lock

sunlock : "M11" #Axis unlock

 

MpMaster:

lock_codes : 0 #Use rotary axis unlock/lock M-Codes? (0 = No, 1 = Yes)
