Wire EDM Programming Logic: Need Help

[Frank Caudillo]

Hey everyone, I'm new to my programming position here at work but I've been working with CNC mills for the past 5 years and am fairly good with G-Code and all that good stuff. We just bought an EDM at work, a Mitsubishi MV2400S, and I've been working on the programming for our parts. 

 

Anyways, with our mills we typically program only the first part on the fixtures and use logic to move the program to the second, third, etc, parts. I'm trying to do the same with our EDM to keep the programming somewhat similar to the mills but when I load the program into the control it gives me a P32 programming error. Does anyone have experience with Mitsubishi EDM programming and code that could help me? Is there anything special about formatting logic with Mitsubishi controls? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Frank your machine builder should be your 1st point of contact. They should have an application department that should be able to help. Are you using the Mastercam EDM module to program the machine with the correct post? Do you have the programming manuals for the machine? What is the normal format for the code? What does the error mean wen you look it up in the manual? Might try getting a hold of your local Mastercam dealer and see if they can point you in the right direction.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Ron. I'm trying to get an answer from the applications guys as Mitsubishi right now. Talking to my boss, he said that it could be an option for the control so we'll see what I find out. Thanks for the help!
