Just use Notepad Replace....

Find what G01
Replace with G101
Replace all :D

Ahh. There was a file in Start up that I wasn't sure about. Others were NC (with the space rocket graphic) and my batch file.
I'll look next time I'm at work, which will be next year :-)

This is what is in the file we use to delay the start of the Variable Pic App. It is stored as a "batch" file in the startup folder. It delays, by 3min (180sec), the start of the app to give enough...

Hmmmf....Looks like we don't have the THINK start up service folder on our machine

I've just stumbled on this. Is this what you mean. I'll check on Monday too :)

How are you guys starting your apps. Are you going into Windows and starting it manually every time you power ON?

I got our apps guy to get the Picture app to run on Windows Start up but it...

Are you willing to share your B axis offset calculator. I could use something like that.

Here you go. I just downloaded it while sat at home and created the code for engraving in an arc.

Forget the macro. This will do all you are after. It's free and easy to use. You can output as G-code txt file or DXF

Found reference to User Task3 in special functions manual ME32-096-R04a.pdf

Does anyone use UserTask3? This allows DO/WHILE loops, which I prefer. Our new (well 12 months old now) machine with P200MA, still didn't come with UserTask3. Should be standard, not an option!

A pic and a part program snipped would be nice to see, and maybe help others. :-)

Have you selected the correct plane for doing the rads G17/G18/G19?

Post your program to help us help you

Your description is a little vague.
Slope machining is what you may need.
If you want to use the Y axis, the sides will be parallel depth wise, but the depth will vary, with the deepest part on the...

Simple Example: R1 Z-10 Q2

So you drill your hole starting at Z1
Pecking 2mm
Next to last cut will reach Z-9
Another peck of 2mm would take it to Z-11
This...

Hmm ok, thanks for the info. But.....
The origional poster and my example were asking for a milling example.

I have seen the example, you attached, in our Multus manual with P200L control, only...

Control is P200M
I looked in the Programming manual but couldn't see a retract, after each peck, above the R plane. I could only see a final retract to R plane, stated height (G71) or machine zero.

So uperez....

how do you do this on the Okuma? I've now got a job that needs this very same routine, would you believe. I can't see in the manual how to do the retract in the canned cycle.
...

You've been a bit sparce with the info.
So all I can do is post part of a prog I use.
Are you threading axially or radially?
My example is using the slant function but is basically programmed in...

The spec sheet I have calls for an S code in the G282 block.
G282 is Rigid tapping. Why wouldn't it be as stated.
Don't be scared. Try it ;)

On our P200M control peck tapping is G282

Thanks for the correction. Just did it off the top of my head.

At least the guy can now get on with his job rather than just knowing someone can do it easily on their Okuma. ;)

:)

This will work on a Fanuc control. I don't know anything about the Mitsubishi Meldas 500M language. Just alter the values for #501-#504 to suit your needs.

Today I came across the VTIME function in the programming manual. So I just needed to look harder before, didn't I...!

So I looked for it in the Multus manual (P200L control) but couldn't find...

Yes, with help from you too.
Thanks.

Tried the VTIME thingy today. Brilliant, just brilliant.
It finishes off my saved probed offsets just as I wanted them.
Thanks. :cheers:

Ooo that looks interesting. I'll try that on Monday when I'm back at work. Broby will be pleased.

:-)

I have set up the prog to save updated offsets after probing. The probed offsets are written to a new file. On subsequent runs this file is overwritten with the updated data. I just wanted to put a...

Hmm. Any idea where the resulting figures come from. At 8:35am this morning results were....
VPHUR=1 and VPMNT=19??
I expected (hoped)it to be
VPHUR=8 and VPMNT=35
Can this "counter" be set to...

Cheers Maxter. I saw that in the manual but didn't understand the difference. Your explanation is much clearer :-)
