HELP WITH SIEMENS 840D SERIAL NUMBERING PARTS

[rpmw]

I am trying to engrave sequential serial numbers along with part number. The part number is easy but not having any luck with the sequential numbers does anyone have any help it would be much appreciated. I have not found any code to use, i have one i use on fadal machines but it doesn't work on this machine.

 

Thanks,

Richie

This is one for a Siemens 840D lathe control.

It is set for doing the peripheral surface now.

 

G19 M814

DIAMON

T3

TC(1)

SETMS(1)

G90 G0 G95 S1=3000 F.005 M1=3 M108

G0 Z-1.5

G0 X=2

ATRANS Z-1.5

AROT Y90

TRACYL_S4(1.5)

 

CYCLEGRA(<<RG801,.01,.5,1,1.5,0,.003,.003,.1)

 

RG801=RG801+1

TRANS_OFF

M1=5

Here is the information that the AE sent me with that.

 

"Attached is the engraving cycle that you will need to load into the

control, for now put it into the folder you are working in and make sure it

is loaded into the NC. Later, see below.

 

The following is an example of how it is used and with a variable that will

increment each time. To find out what each number in the cycle is for,

press retranslate when you open it up in iso - services.

I'm not sure where you want to engrave, on the surface or the face, but

this is for the surface. And the coordinates have been moved with ATRANS

and rotated with AROT to so that the parameters in the cycle make sense.

To engrave on the face you will use transmit and work in G17 and DIAMOF,

and you won't need to move or rotate the coordinates.

 

 

Later:

Once you get everything working put it into the "user" or "Customer" folder

(in iso) then power on and off the machine. This way it can stay in on

spot and not have to be moved around.

 

When you press "retranslate" on cyclegra() in iso you will see.

Rg801 is the variable that is the serial #.

 

Hope this helps!
