Well, I tried it.... G200 Z10 T0200 same thing, didn't do it, ideas?

Ok, will do. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow and thanks Mike

I seen this code in the Haas code booklet and tried it out on the Haas. I put in MDI mode: G00 G200 Z-15. T0200: The machine turned to the tool, then rapided to the Z location. Did I do something wrong, because I thought this would turn to the tool station while rapiding. Mike

Sim, sorry, like I said really busy. Will look now

No one likes $$$$$ Oh well.

I have a simple Haas SL-40 Program that really needs cleaned up bad, I am not asking anyone to do it for free. But the program waste way to much time running, and sence I'm working way to much and not a professional programmer like most here I am asking for help with it. I just have the program, no prints or tools to show you, but you should see from the program whats going on. Anyone want to give it a look and take all of the wasted machine time out of it? If so we can talk about it and in detail what I'm looking for Mike

BUMP:)

We have a left and right spindle VTL kingsbury lathe, and I was wanting ideas how to do TNC on this machine. I can use a right handed cutting on one that turns the OD and the same tool on the other does ID work, will I have to use the same TYPE on both heads but differant TNC (G42, G41) on the other? Mike

quote: And it would be a Marco program not a micro program. LOL, macro yes your right,I knew that, I must have had a brain fart Mike

I was just wondering if their is a micro program that would let the machine know that if a operator loaded a part wrong, and I put air passes in to prevent a crash, if a micro program could tell on the 1st pass if it cleared and had no load on the spindle (part is in right) it could jump to the correct N# to start cutting the part? or something like that? Just wanted to know if can be done on a 16T fanuc control Mike

Tim Looks great, and your right just changing the values looks good enough. Thanks again Mike

Yes I need one for Lathes Mike

I was wanting ideas if any of you have a program for boring jaws, say like useing a single pass g code, if so, I would like to take a look at it, or even a micro program to use no matter what size I need them to be , outside and inside. Mike

I got my MCX for $15 american green backs.... But the darn thing doesn't save what I drafted nor put out the G-code.... I think I got ripped off
