Haas Programing Question

[Lathe-Mill]

We use that format, never give us any problems

[Toolfab]

If you are not using an "L" how do you specify the amount of times it "repeats"?

[Rekd™]

Without L, it will repeat once.

I would run the rotab moves absolute like T@T@LO (dude, do you have a real name? Typing that makes me feel like a goof) had in the post above and call the sub after each move, forget that repeat junk.

The name is Carlos, sorry if I make you feel like that.

i dont like the repeat, just rotate the angle I know then call sub.

May be it;s just me. but like i said before, works for me, keep it simple, dont want no headache.

You are absolutely right, Greg, and since I am the one who knows the least about this machine I'm gonna bail out of this thread and let you guys talk about it. I'll learn a lot more with my mouth closed and ears open...

Don't be sorry, Carlos, I just like to refer to people by their names if possible.

 

Where are you located? I noticed the MacDac reference in another thread, so I know you can't be too far from me.

Salem NH.

I do like to read the posts, and learn from them, when i think that i may be a bit of help, i do reply. Hope what i posted help the problem.

Now why the comment on macdac and s4a?...

I know both, and bot are good.

[Toolfab]

What an awesome group we have here!! It never ceases to amaze me. Thank you ALL, so many ways to accomplish one thing, I love it.

So?

 

Did it work?...

[chris m]

Paul- Where did you end up?

 

Carlos- Just trying to stir things up a little when I saw Peter post about trying to help you out. We're an current S4A customer (former MacDac customer) so I try to give those guys a hard time once in awhile.

[Lathe-Mill]

Are you from around NH?.

 

==================================================

We're an current S4A customer (former MacDac customer).

 

What made you change reseller?

 

I tooked lathe classes with Peter,cool guy, all of them at s4a.

Iwas laid off,then I found this job, they had purchased mastercam from macdac eng. (cool guys also). both places i like.

[Toolfab]

I got it to loop multiple times by leaving the "L" in the line. With the format that Carlo's gave me, and the "L" I managed to fumble thru it.

 

Now to see if I can get the rest of the tools to do the same...lol

 

Thanks again!

[Lathe-Mill]

I am very happy for you man, feels good when Your little input helps someone. (I have only 8 months experience in milling) 99% lathe, but here i am trying to be a complete cnc machinist / programmer.

50% lathe

50% mill

Hey Rekd could you accomplish the same task with Transform. Then using the only transform toolplane like pic's shown:

 

 

I dont understand why when I put 8 it only did 7 different fixture offsets. I also had to put soemthing for a shift even though it doesnt really shift the posted program. Here is the code I produced from that:
