local coordinace G52 shift(CAN MC DO IT?)

[Kenneth Potter]

Hi Guys

Forum search came up zilch on this topic so here it goes

 

I have fixures with up to 48 loads ,two of my Acra tapping centers

has those Kewl G54.1P1 thru P48.....way Kewl BUt too many work location inputs to the control(GRRRRRRR)

)with Local coordinance just pick up the location on FIxture master referance point & input the

48 known location in the program (G52XnnYnn)shifts & Thats Much faster & was more Kewl...bang bang DONE!

six other machines Viper 950...HAS only the G54-G59 NT magicpro GRRRR...i,m using local coords & bang bang done!

 

Has anyone tryed this method for M/c to post out Can it be Done????

 

Chips Flying...PING POP sizzle....OUCH! ...S*%#$!*!&

Kenneth, I'm not sure about a G52, but I know it works with a G92. If you are using a Fanuc, you can also use a G10, if you have bought the option. It lets you input tool lengths, dia/rad values, and work offset values. It's really cool to. Allows for quick input of base values with the ability to do adjustments to each offset to tweek in the part.

Well maybe I am off hear but thought about this for a second which a whole longer than I normally do but let me take a stab at this. I would say take a look at the MPMASTER post and you will see a mi swith I beleive it is for mi9 for output the G92 X0 Y0

Kenneth,

 

Here, I use the G52 all the time. What I do is put the value of the G52 in a manual entry. And if you have multiple operations in your program and do not want to see the G54, G55 changes, just activate the "Lock on first WCS" in the Mi variables.

 

BTW, I am using a mpmaster derivative post for V8.1.1

 

Hope this helps,

If you want the G52 referenced from origin in Mc you can get those values while posting if your using toolplane origins.(tox,toy,toz)

Jimmy,

 

Can you elaborate on this, it sounds interesting for me.

 

Thanks,

Marting,

 

I put "g52_test.zip" on the ftp under mc9.

 

There is a post and mc9 in the zip that shows how to extract the tool origin from the mc9.

 

Look under t/c plane button to see what my offset was.

HOW can this be done In version 8.11?

By updating to V9!

The post I put up will run in v8. It is a stripped down post with nothing but post blocks in it. The variables should work in V8

There was an article in modern machine shop about using G10's nestled in subprograms to eliminate all the offset typing. I'm going to implement it in a customers post.

 

Also if you have macro b on the machine you can have MC output the numbers into the offset registry for you.

Thanks Jimmy,

 

I'll take a look at it. This will be very helpful for me.

 

Have a nice day,

I,m reading up on the G10 stuff ...Macro B i belive is Intalled ... real cool lots of Power there. And thanks for the G52 tip !

 

Just got a 5000 part order increse per month ...Now i,m gonna make 2.. 80 load fixures with handels for OFF the machine parts loading ....To be swapped out by the operator to keep the spindels going...Boy i,m having Fun !......LOve this forum !

 

 

THis G10 stuff is next on the to do list

 

 

Thanks guys

[heeler]

G10 can be very useful. We have used it on our fanuc's to change G54-G59 offsets in the middle of the program. It will let you have unlimited offsets. You do have to be really careful on restarts.
