Its been a while since ive looked at the macro page (i think its acouple screens deep and a pain to get to) for the machine, but the MDI suggestion will work, that never dawned on me (gonna try it in...

Running a HiCell 23 Turning center with a SEICOS LIII control.

I would like to save off-set 64's tool geometry to a variable in a sub-program.
Anyone know the parameter block #'s to do this ?

Running a HiCell 23 Turning center with a SEICOS LIII control.
Machine does not have a parts counter so i "rigged" up alittle sub routine counter and then save the count to an unused off-sets tool...

Thanks for your input, wmyerscnc.

Thanks, an earlyer google search brought me to an older HAAS manul, thanks for an up-to-date one.
I did a quick search for a Fanuc 16i control but couldnt find...

Thanks guys, both helped.

Found a G54-59 OutPut script in the link posted by dertsap, gonna try and work on it so it will Save all the Work and Tool OffSets to one file for eazy loading at a later...

^^ Taking from...

Anyone have a list of these which they can post ?

L2 = G54-G59
L20 = G54.# (upper work offsets)


L10 - geometry offsets (length and radius compensation)
L11 - wear...

Humm... just like saving a full program then ?
Glad it was not a snake :)

Thanks.

Is it possable to save your Work and Tool off-sets to a floppy so that they can be loaded back into the control at a later time ?

I see with this how to load them, is there a way to save them ?

Ok...

This worked fine...
IF[4 GT 1] GOTO ###

And this also worked fine...
#123 = 2

When i tried ...
A=1 (the other night)

This is a roughing canned-cycle. Some machines you will need to tweak the G71, different controls handle the code in different ways, the below is for a MORI SEIKI SL-25 with a O-T fanuc control.

One part (a casting) clamped in a fixture, no tombstone. The casting is not square.

Ill give the example a test when i get to work, thanks.

Bad new for me :(
Tried the IF statments and it kicked up an error, bad macro (or somthing, wrote it down but forgot the paper at work, i know the word 'macro' was in the error.) recived this same...

For the ease of editing and being that my hands are tied on the extent of editing i can do, im gonna try what thogib posted.

Sorry, i should have...

Thanks for your example and explanation, gar.

Ive seen the GOTO and understand its use but think it would be a bit of a pain to implement for us.

In short, heres the my situation. I was just...

Can someone give me an example of the syntax for an "IF" statment ?

Heres what we would like to do. As of now they use two different programs for the same part, program one is for pallet 1 and...

Sorry, know nothing about that.

Aside from using a sub-program are there any profiling & roughing cycles like G71, G73 and G70 for a lathe which would do the same for a mill or will these work for both ?

Would like to key in a...

What material are you cutting with that program ?

I ran and did alittle programing for a 360 with a bar feeder and a Seamen's (for got the model) contol for a few years, what you looking for or whats the problem ?

I still work in the same shop...

On a TOYODA FA550-II we use a M90 in MDI.

If we want to do it in the program we have to ...

It almost looks like a G96/97 for a lathe, but for feed not spindle speed.

Bonus would be nice... We dont get a thing for chopping times, union shop with the petty politics which go along with it. On a personal level i just cant (or should i say have a hard time) seeing...

Correct and thanks for the explanation. Opps... no offence intended. When ever i see the same feed, line after line and double digit G and M commands (rather then G1 or M1) i always asume its a CAM...

Thanks guys, im at home now (work 2nd shift) but will try both methods once i get to work and then post back the results once i get back home (no net access at work).

Have a few questions now....

Quick backround... been running, setting-up and milded programing for cnc lathes for around 8-9 years in a production shop. A week ago i was tossed on a TOYODA FA550-II Horizontal Machining Center....
