Fanuc Automatic Programmed Tools. This what I was told 23 yrs ago

Steve

I see what you mean for getting the work coordinates, never thought of that before. My boss can turn on a computer and then mastercam and it ends there. Fapt is for when you do not have...

Hi Steve

sorry to bad to you so late. The boss wants to use it. I got it to work. Just need to get the tool, material and feed/speed files updated. We are using Mastercam for the programming....

Hi Steve

It is the 10T EF control. The owner gave me some books last night to go through (wednesday) but they are for the Yasnac control supporting the Multi option. We have FAPT on our's. Very...

Happy Sunday All

Quick question, how do you configure the port so that you can up and download programs from the PC and Controller. We have a Fanuc 10TE-F controller on a Hitachi Hitec Turn...

Good Day all

quick qestion for the macro geniuses here. I have Peter Smid's Fanuc custom macros text and it is very good. We have 4 little wheels that are very similiar, nothing sexy. The examples...

Hi Under dog

what i do is have N001 at the first toll and N002 for the 2nd tool and so on down thru my program. if i have to restart in the middle of a toolpath, reset prgm, type in the N00??...

Hi Stevo1

will that also work for a 20T control. It would make life easier at times. It would be great to have to rework prgm at the computer and then download again. Thanks in advance

Gerry

hello

unless you have a machine lock switch, the graphics only work as the machine is running the program. I have the same problem on my lathe. not what you wanted to hear, but i hope this...

Hey Everybody

Where I work, we have a Haas Tool Room Mill. The boss has been on the machinist's butt to get faster with the machine. When it does a tool change, it beeps for 4 seconds and then...

Morning Gentlemen

I have a 20T control on a large lathe. The problem is that I can not empty the memory of programs. I have tried powering up the lathe numours time and resetting from the power...

Good day all

I have a Fanuc 20-T and would like to know if it is possible for the control to support G71/72 and G76. I use G32/92 for threading but this uses up alot of space. G90 is used for...

Hi Keith

you can use mastercam to program your lathe. If your control has FAPT, it is a breeze to program the machine. very easy. if it has teach / guidence function, then use mastercam. t / g...

We have a Kingston lathe with the same controller and the Guidence / Teach function is a pain to learn. The progams created from this can be edited, but it takes a lot of time as you have to insert...

Hi
you can also try G10 P5 (wear offset) U0.0001 or W0.0001; use it at the end of last toll that finishes the part. I use it often for our large production runs.

Gerry

G83 is for Z axis drilling, G73 is repeat pattern. it follows the same path every cycle and applies a new wear offset every time. this would be used when you have parts that are the same shape,...

Hi all

I have tried to get my post to output text at BOTH G112 / G113 and G107 / G108. I post my cylindrical program and at both G107 and G108 it outputs engage and disengage, no problem, but...

the 2 cam systems are probably similiar so just have a cruise thru yours'. i learned a lot of new swear words trying get the polar and cylindrical interpolation to work. best of luck at Eastec. ...

what cam system are you using, mastercam X etc? you need to go to mis values when you are setting up the tool parameter and set it to either -1 or 1. G107 has be in a line by itself and just...

Hi Matt
