Is there a way to automatically use sequential tool numbers instead of crazy numbers like T4949?

I would like to see tool 1 (T0101) then tool 2 (T0202) etc.

Any ideas?

I see that you could "edit selected operations" and "renumber" there.

Is there a way to do it automatically?

What is that? I never heard of it !

Please explain

it's one I haven't seen. I even went and asked the lathe geek that came from a shop with lathe Fanuc controls.

Mornin'

I looked into a bit this morning and I see your concern. I usually only use the "computer"

as the compensation type. I did try all options and agree that it does violate the part. I'm not sure if its a bug or not.

Hopefully someone can help resolve this.

Good luck

I see what you are saying. I'll look into it in more depth in the morning.

Sleepy eyes will not help the situation right now. Been here since 5 AM.

babolino,

In your groove finish parameters page, change the compensation type to " computer "

When in control it is compensating the tool width ot your tool.

PS..... heck of a groove

Sorry Randy,

We have only Okumas here and one Mazak.

The Okumas use G73 (longitudinal grooving) and G74 (transverse grooving) (the G75 in Okumas are auto chamfering).

Good luck (back to the top)

Can you send file???? (e-mail)

LOL,,

At least there was an answer, 2 yrs, new pc, newer versions of MC etc.

Gotta love technology

Double click the tool, go to parameter page, bottom left are the comps.

How did you get burned milling solids? I seem to find it easier to mill with solids than surfaces. Is there something I have been missing???

Thanks

What machine is this for?

Thanks, I'll have to give it a try in X.

Once you get burned you tend to stay away from features.

I did it in the tool. When asked to apply to all operations using this tool I answered yes.

......

I am always afraid to use "edit common perameters". I got burned one time in V9.

Unless they fixed it in X. When I went in to change coolant to on in V9 it also changed other things. Did that get fixed in X ??

Thanks

Hey there Jim,

Just go to “machine type”, select the machine and continue as usual.

I tried the same with a out of the box post and had the same result.

Look in the tool description under the parameter page, the compensation is on the lower left.

Anyone ???

I have never done this but I believe if you add another machine group it should work. I have done this with lathe and it worked fine, as of yet I still have not done it with milling.

PS Welcome to the Forum

That is true, the server is used to ping for the nethasp. The only problem you would have is if someone messes with the server. (reboot, etc.)

Maybe we need a different name, entering Henry.

Please note that #3003 is the parameter for fanuc controls.

Have you tried to do it with a sub program?

See below......

N10(P6001)

(G54 B0)

(G55 B90)

(G56 B180)

(G57 B15)

(G58 B288)

(G59 B38)

N20(P6003)

(G59 B327)

N30M98P6001 (where required at tool start)

regular code here

N30M98P6003 (where required at tool start)

regular code here

at end of program put the subs

O6001

#3003=0

G90

G10L2P1X*****Y*****Z*****(G54=B0)

G10L2P2X*****Y*****Z*****(G55=B90)

G10L2P3X*****Y*****Z*****(G56=B180)

G10L2P3X*****Y*****Z*****(G57=B15)

G10L2P3X*****Y*****Z*****(G58=B288)

G10L2P3X*****Y*****Z*****(G59=B38)

#3003=0

N4020M99

O6003

#3003=0

G90

G10L2P1X*****Y*****Z*****(G59=B327)

#3003=0

N4020M99

Hope this works for ya !!

In the tool, parameter page, did you adjust the compensation there?

My company has two locations (NY & NC)and we have our server in another state that utilizes a nethasp. We have no major problems.
