Hi guys,

Did someone of you already successfully configured angular/cranked head for Mazak? On my machine at the offset/setting it's not possible to change the tool type.

At Mazak manual it...

Yes, in the status the g54.0 changes to 1 :D

Hallo Norbert,

In fact I already tried this, and more, I tried to start the program with the g54.0 already 1 by starting the program with the machine over the switch.

About Macro B, I have it,...

I need to bring this topic to life, I getting mad with this stuff over here, do you guys now whatever reason why #1000 doesn't have its state changed by setting g54.0 to 1 over PMC exactly how it's...

Hello, I need your support again,

Need I to link somewhere the g54.0 (UI000) address to #1000 or the PMC are supposed to do it by itself?

Because I'd set the g54.0 on the ladder depending on a...

With M96 I got "Invalid M Code", I guess from PMC, but wasn't M96 supposed to work on CNC side, I mean, need I to decode de M96 function on PMC in order to allow it to work property?

I already...

OK, it works partially, with the option "C" but the variable #1000 doesn't turns to 1, on the diagnosis shows G54.0 turning to 1 when the machine passes through the switch, but the machine don't...

Just to you to have a better idea, it's a lathe with a RAM bar at the seccond channel, this ram bar is mechanically (hydraulic) clamped, so to change the position of this bar the machine should move...

Hi norbert,

Can I redirect the switch input to works like the high speed skip? How can I do that? I thought that it was just possible by physically attaching the switch wiring to the HSS input on...

Hello PLC Masters, I have an issue for you today that is making me pulling my hair off.

We have one dual channel machine here with a sub that just move the z2 axis until reach one proximity...

Hello guys, sorry by bringing this topic back but I need to know how to show the option WEAR/GEOM on 18TB.

The machine was retrofitted and the operator says that before the machine had gone the...

Hello,

You need to set up the working plane for X/Y arcs the default is already active G17, for the others you'll need to program it before the radius as follow:

G17 ; SELECTION OF XY PLANE...

anilam, how did you fixed the problem, I have the same with the mmachine of a friend an old Maho 700 that the Z and Y axis are swaped.

Hi Armando,

I´ll bring this topic back to life. Thanks for the tips, I'll prepare something to post here.

About boolean aperations with 3d meshes, stl files, I guess that you should see this...

Somebody can help me with it?

Hello all,

I'm facing some problems with some in-built cycles on 840D that seems to be enchripted, the blocks starts with @> and just a few commands are readable.

Do you guys know how can I...

Some years ago I started to develop a CAM software in VB. There are a lot of cool milestones reached. Some 3D stuff, simulation maths, if someone are engaged in something like this I'll be glad to...

Yep, this works. The PLC was not ending the T command. I'v assigned the 9010 to M6 and changed the T change routine in the PLC.

Everything works fine now.

Thank you all that help me.

Par 6001#5=0 T0101 in MDI the geometry values update in ABS, thats OK, but the command never ends, Cycle Start still ON, no alarm raises.

Par 6001#5=1 T0101 in MDI, The tool change occurs, ABS...

I'll try this, but I have a question:

Without any macro attached to T code and without M6, T0101 should be able to update the Geom/Wear (already working) and then finish the command by jumping to...

We got some progress here.

In both cases, using M6 to call the Tool Change sub (pars 6001.5=0 and #6071=6) or inserting the T#149 into O9000 the Absolute Value now is taking in account the...

Dear colleagues,

I'd changed the Tool Cnage Macro inserting the code T#149 before M99 and the machine just stop at that block, start still green and nothing happens.

The actual related...

Follow the Macro fot Tool Change: PLEASE HELP-ME

FYI, the machine FANUC control have two channels, the second isn't in use.

%
O9000(TOOL CHANGE)
N10#110=#4001
N20#111=#4002
N30#112=#4003...

Stevo:
- I'll try to post the tool change macro
- The parameters set the Offset correctly, to use last two digits
- No, the machine isn't updating the values, I have one test NC program to...

I'd tried the parameter and nothing changes. Still not updating Abs values when T0202 or any other tool is called.

Can the tool change routine O9000 making something wrong? I mean, there is no...

Hi Stevo,

I'll try this parameter right now! I saw that this parameter is related with par 5002 so I'll check the both.

Thank you by the advance.

Dear colleagues,

We have one machine here that was conventional and now we put one old (very old) FANUC 16-TB on that.

The machine is fully parametrizated as well as drives and control itself,...

The G76, G78 and G33 doesn't work. But the G32 works fine with Q parameter, I did one 4 entry thread on this machine today and all OK.

I did some tests with #4077 - SPINDLE ANGULAR SHIFT. Exactly...

Anyone knows where can I get the FANUC Parameter Handbook for 18i-TB series?

I had one "in paper" some years ago, but I lost that. If somebody can help me with an PDF I'll be glad.

tks,
Eduardo

It's one Special Machine that we received from UK and then refurbished here in Brazil. The PCL programmer didn't released the M19 or M190 function, but they did one function on PCL called "Spindle...
