I think you put it in twice. $$ if you want the $ itself output

My version is 23.01.27 For an example Open cimco In the file type ribbon change the drop down to formulas Start a new file then open nc assistant and open up the macro function drop-down and select macro b circle. Press insert macro button. Open the backplot window. Adjust #1 and see how it updates. On the right hand side there are 4 vertical tabs labeled simulation, navigation, variables, and geometry navigator. It does not know machine system variables just #1 thru #999 as far as I can tell.

Should be in there. Backplot a program and the tabs show up on the right side. The tabs are work offsets, variables. If you have sub programs or separate macro programs just put them all in the same file you are back plotting at the end after you're M30

Cimco edit pro will also backplot macros and display macro variables updating and what not. Cimco is constantly improving it

On most of the HMC' I've ran the tool change time and pallet index time were pretty darn close to the same. Plus I could index the B while the tool is changing. So not really much time lost in that case. In my case the tool groups were; Tool group 1 is B0 complete Copy paste into tool group 2 B180 etc. This also made it easier to skip faces if I didn't have parts on them

IF[#101LT-.005] THEN #3000=22(TO-MUCH-OFFSET(

Using miilturn I am having to edit in bar change cycles and part catcher cycles among others things. I also can't simulate both spindles cutting at the same time. I see the main spindle cut then the transfer then the right spindle. That's only half of the process. I need to know where the turrets are when both spindles are processing. I can see the actual cutting g code not needing hand edits but an entire program functioning efficiently without some hand edits? I haven't figured that yet with miilturn. Not having access to the posts in millturn is painful for me. I was closer to edit free code how I liked it in standard lathe. I am not giving up on millturn and will continue to use and learn it(only a few months), I just hope they open it up a bit in the future.

I believe You can also just use TWP G68.1 instead of G368 but you will need to be sure of all the other codes you will need and the formatting. Maybe you can cancel G368 with G69 instead. You'll have to test.

Found it. Reset workspace under the view tab in the sync manager

Some how I turned it off. Can't for the life of me find it to turn it back on. I can't add in my sync codes....

Try adding a longer dwell after your probe turns on in program 9832. Add a second to whatever is already there.

Yeah I bet you had a R command with a digit before the decimal, like R1.25. the fadal uses R values as variables so sometimes a radius of R1.25 would be read by the control as R1=.25. Either format in a "+" after any R word(R+1.25) or better yet use IJK.

A lot of this info is also in the small fanuc manual.

I'm with you. I cannot think of one single reason to use ipm if your spindle, tool or part is turning. I converted the shop I work at to ipr for everything. People I trained seemed to understand the ipr concept easier. I tell them to look in the catalog for speed and feed and darn near all cutting tool manufacturers use feed per tooth and sfm recommendations. Why add another calculation. But. You have to understand both because some older mills can't use G95.

I did eventually find a better tool path (flowline) were I don't need to trim. It still seemed odd that the trim path just disappears and doesn't work without warning. Thanks

2020 I am in a lathe definition using a mill waterline tool path in the right tool plane. I have a box drawn in front view were I want to trim the tool path out of. I select trim, then select my box and then nothing happens. The trim tool path is in the op manager with no geometry selected. As soon as I click on anything in the op manager the trim tool path disappears..... Anyone seen this?

Not sure but maybe another solution; N100 #510=0 #3000=1(change drill, 13) N200 #512=0 #3000=2(Change drill, 21) Etc

Try M98<2682082B> or M99<2682082B> Or some combination with those brackets.

I think I've seen that when the chip conveyor gets jammed up. Check the breakers for one that's tripped.

You folks with horizontal Mills. How often do you dechipe the index tables? Every day, every load, every shift, etc. Are chips between the pallet and table an issue normally? Thanks

How are you guys finding these p-code macro variables? I have found a few thru trial and error but is there another place to find them? Seems like they are a well kept secret

The time will be expressed in 24 hour format. Also 5:00 am will be something like 500. To find out the macro time format type in #100=#3012

I haven't seen that on our nty3's, but wouldn't normally end the cycle with the X move at N1001. I would end it at N1001G01Z-1.013.

I think You need the Q value on every line you want to peck. lathes dont usually have G81 so G83 no Q no peck.

for some reason on mazak lathe controls a local sub call is with a Q and not an H. same format and rules though. M98Q9901 I usually number my local subs starting at N9901. My operations use N100,N200,N300 etc. That way i never worry about having a double.
