you can, you just need to know how ;-)
to swap back to the left side after finishing the right side, put this crap at the end of each program.
end of top turret program

check X Y Z axis end-stroke switches. at least one of them is stuck in.
this is a common problem caused by a stuck or non-functional deceleration switch somewhere. you need to check all Z axis switches at BOTH ends of the stroke limits.
the easiest way to set the workshift is move the tool to X0 then type X0 and press [MEASURE] button. move other axes and repeat (Y0 MEASURE, Z0 MEASURE)
for basic setting, that's all you need to do....
alarms are normal for the Multus (or actually for anyone coming from non-Okuma background or older Okumas to newer Okumas). The alarm book is nearly 2" thick.
this is a working example of the...
In Type II there is no last pass. Because the cuts blend out there are no steps so a final clean-up pass isn't needed.
I seem to recall this behavior is a bug in the software.
It shouldn't make 2...
ok so swap parts and/or buy some parts and swap them over and you'll be good to go.
when repairing be careful with old boards. Make sure you get someone fixing it who knows
how to properly remove...
switching other old boards does not guarantee a fix. those old machines were scrapped because they were unreliable and became faulty too often. your swapped boards are probably faulty too. its almost...
there are parameters for that. I'm guessing they will be PMC parameters because that kind of write function only at a
certain time is very unusual. I assume you can't run the machine when the key...
could be a dodgy turret switch. if the index switch is not working or stuck in a mid-rotate position the machine will wait for it to complete. the check for it only happens in memory mode.

the program is correct. note only the D can't have a decimal. the U/W should work fine with a decimal (I worked and programmed CNC's including F3/F6 up to 32i's for ~30 years)
you are correct...
it must be something new because if you search for M395 M396 on Google this page is the only relevant hit.
It's not listed in my NT4250 manual printed 07/2008
a simpler way to look at it is when using G71 position the start X point at the same diameter as the material size and position the Z start point in front of the material by about 0.05" or so
with...
I don't think G53 will help there. movement in G53 is fixed at rapid speed.
glad you got it sorted. please post that macro you mentioned above. I'm sure many people here will find it interesting :-)
where are you 'generating' the program? In CAPS or Esprit or something else?
FILE_MEMORY_OVER suggests you are lacking free memory. Try deleting some
old programs in the memory, either on the NC...
terminal not ready can mean either the transfer settings are not correct or the cable is not correct or your handshaking method doesn't match the cable type.
you don't need to mess with cnc...
because they abandoned it 10 years ago and use modern and powerful CAM software on modern PCs.
FAPT is a niche market for people who used it in the 80's and 90's. very few people understand it...
G53 is the normal way to do that.
G53 means move in machine coordinate system
just do G53 G0 X Z and it will be a move in machine coordinate system. macro is not needed.
the barrier setting procedure is in the operation manual.
programming with IGF doesn't mean your tools will crash, or not crash. if you set the work zero correctly and program it correctly then the...
if you are seeing an error code that means the CPU is working, since without it there would be no program running and therefore no error-checking.
your fault is more likely bad RAM. its the 1st...

PC FAPT is a 16-bit program written when Windows 3.1 was active. It can also run on XP but it's no longer available since around 2007.
You can't buy a dongle for it anywhere, not at any price. Use...
if you mean PC-FAPT, it works only in Windows XP. it is discontinued and there is no support.
use XP and it requires a dongle, it won't work without it.
or use a different program.
the graphic function could be there but it's not for programming. it merely traces the path. its pretty useless.
full conversational graphic functions in Fanuc controls requires hardware. you cant...
yeah using G10 is over complicated and long-winded. real programmers use macro ;-)
I worked and programmed CNC machines for 30 years and hardly ever got OT alarms.
Sure now and then, but it was always something stupid that I did that caused it. After
you do it a few times you...
that G14 is a nice idea. the machine works the same as any other but with G14 it reverses the sign of all Z's to simplify programming.
pity there's no equivalent on other controls.
