Thread milling speed and feed calculator on FTP
CNCGUY replied to PGW Steve's topic in Industrial Forum
Steve, I have been working on something similar but have also been trying to take thread height into consideration. Is that something that should be figured, or not necessary? -
Thanks a bunch guys. That will get the tool done - but I still have a lot more to learn!!!!
-
Long story short - I had to let our wire guy go and now need to get programs done. I put 2 files on the FTP Site in the WIRE folder. T5659R00.MC9 Does not work. I get an error 'Lead-in not succesful - check thread position' The operations were imported from a file that works. It must be something I am doing, but cant figure it out. T5655R00.MC9 Works fine If someone could take a look, I would greatly appreciate it.

Multi-DNC is what we use!!

Thanks John. Here we go!!!!

Its time to start converting V9 files to X. In going thruogh the Transition Guide, I didnt find an answer to this; Can all X files (ops., tools, etc., etc.) be in the same directory's as V9 files. Are they named different so V9 files are not overwritten? Does converting corrupt any V9 files? Thank's for your help. Wish me luck!!!!

Carl, I downloaded the file. Now what do I do??? Should it be in the MCAM directory? SOmething I need to execute????

I and K (Amount to leave for rough) U and W (Amount to leave for finish)
-
What does your code look like? I and K are amount to leave in X and Z for rough. This is what I have!! code: G71 P100 Q102 U.02 W.005 D.1 F.014 N100 G00 X.88 S1000 G01 Z-.0183 X1.0282 Z-.0924 X1.06 Z-.6031 Z-.76 X1.8207 N102 X2.1187 Z-.7999

Roger, Thank you. I will print that and attempt to make it work. Troy

Mike, Its in there. But you bring up something else I want to do. Numbering operations so they coincide with tool number and number of times it is used. This is what I have now First time for tool 3 N3 T303 Second time for tool 3 N3 T303 This is what I want First time for tool 3 N31 T303 Second time for tool 3 N32 T303 etc., etc. Ive been putting this of for a while!!!

Is there a way to distinguish between operation types (O.D. Rough/O.D. Finish - I.D. Rough/I.D Finish)? What I need to to do is identify I.D. operations and have the post retract the bar out of the part. Yes this can be done with ref. points, but it gets missed once in a while. I have changed pl_retract, but this changes all operation types. Thats ok, but would like only I.D. to be affected. Modified fanuc post.

Got a few hang up's to work through. For the most part I got it. Thank you
-
Christian, It will take some time to absord that and give it a try. Thank you!!
-
jmparis, You got it. Thats what I'm fighting!!! Hopefully theres some way to get around it.

To simplify what I need. . . . . If any operation, other than the first, has mi10 = 1, I need to put that as a comment in at the beginning of the program. code: lsof if mi10=1, "(MI10 = 1)", e The problem is that this only reads the first op. How do I read all ops then post it in lsof ?????? Hope that explains it better
-
How do I use a misc. value in an operation other than the first, to trigger/post something at the beginning of the program?
-
I went throught this process about 18 monthes ago. We chose MultiDNC for price and comfort factor with rep. We also added bar code readers at each machine. The operators scan the code, then receive their program. It works very nice. No PC's on the floor and no operators in and out for floppy disks. Software, hardware, cable and adaptors for 12 machines cost under $11,000. I figured the pay back to be less than 1 year. We have added more machines, which is very simple, and a second system in one of our plants in Indiana. HTH

Hymen, We run a Nakamura TW-20 (twin/twin). I set it up so that all transfer/cutoff (things that need wait codes) are all done in sub programs. All variables that the sub programs need are posted in the main program. It works slick for us.
