Hello, I am trying to program an Okuma Captain L370MW to cut two shoulders on the end of a round plastic part. Here is the code that Gibbscam gave me:


NAT9 T0909
( TOOL 9: .375 DIA. FINISH ENDMILL )
NAT9 M5
N690 M19
N700 M110
N710 G0 C0.
N720 G0 G119 G94 X20 Z20 SB=2000
N730 M13
N740 G0 G90 X1.075 Z.065 C0. M15 M8
N750 Z-.2
N760 X.2
N770 CALL O2
N780 Y-.4356 C180. M15
N790 CALL O2
N800 X1.075
N810 Z.065
N820 X20 Z20 M12 M9
N830 M109
N840 M1

This is not working. I think there should be G101 used? I attached the PDF of the part. Can anyone help with the code?

Got some help from an applications engineer. He used MasterCam and got a program using G137 coordinate conversion. So now instead of C's I have Y's. Program works well. When we first bought the Captain L370MW in 2007 I could not get a good post from MasterCam and ended up using Gibbs. I may have to look at MasterCam again.

Did you select polar milling in Gibbs? If you did, you will get the C axis moves, otherwise it should output Y values.
Typically, the posts will do either/or.
If you care to send me your file and post, I will check it out.
