    Re: Ghost in an Acramatic 850sx

    I think I had that problem with one long ago. Or maybe it was an Acroloc. Way oil got low, stayed in permanent single block until cleared.

    Re: Problem with Fanuc O-T Macro

    So it doesn't like the THEN word. Did you try:

    #100 = 1
    #101 = 0

    IF[#100 GT 5]#101=5

    ??

    Re: Very Slow 4th Axis even with G93

    hi....

    IIRC, F40. is supposed to try and move to the next place in .025 seconds. Start with F.5 (2 seconds) and see what happens. You could also put a G1 with that G93, as you're currently in G00...

    Re: Acramatic 950 Subroutine Repeat ???

    Is your subroutine local (as in (DFS, L1)~~(ENS) or a separate registered program? A local program should be (CLS, L1, 99) and a separate program would be (CLS, 1, 99) where the "1" would be the...

    Have you tried (CLS, L1, 99) where just 99 is the number of repeats?

  6. Re: HAAS super mini mill 2 runs only once. then error 304

    The G53Z0 is NOT the problem. The problem is the G2 at the end of the program. G2 is modal (clockwise arc). Any movement command (like G53Z0 or X10.Y10.) while G2 is active, requires a valid arc or...

    Re: Peck Tapping

    I don't think you need all that repetition, as the parameters are modal.

    Re: How to Specify a "Sharp" Point?

    I'd try to specify the size of the spherical radius on the tip of your probe. .0005" may be too sharp. .010" may be too blunt. .002" could be just right, and all are measureable.

    Re: local subroutines ??

    Try using M99P#### where P=N####. I used to jump around in a program using this on a Fanuc and a Yasnac. Sometimes a GOTO wasn't available, but if you have Macro B, you can use this, too.

    You should always turn off comp with an X Y or XY move. Since you have at least 2 Z moves the computer doesn't know how to resolve the turn-off vector. Try inserting an XY move after you bring up the...
