You might try using the vector probing calibration routine (program O9804). That makes a more full calibration of the ball at several angles, which are then stored in macros. The normal calibration...

Well, now you're getting into a whole other question: how to design a mold. Typically, the mold size is derived from how big the part is, and what size machine it would be going into. And typically,...
No, G54 just calls the work offset (makes it active). You have to set the work offset by another method (by G10, macro, or when you set up your part).
I am not that familiar with Mach3, but it looks to me like the problem program was not calling a tool height (G43 H...) or a work offset (G54 - the offset may have a default, so that might not be an...
I don't have any experience with either of those machines, but I did do a bit of molding in the past. I would say go with the American made machine over the one from China. They might be equal...
Unless you edited this to shorten the post, you need something like an M30 or a GOTO between the the Z1. line and the N12000 line, or it is just going to keep running the "subprogram" as an inline...
You can't copy to MDI. You can output your MDI into a scratch program to save it, if you want, but you can't send it back to MDI. I know, that's not the same thing, but it might help.
I don't think you are going to get that done without macros. Well, how many passes are you making? Could you maybe prgram in incremental, at least for the length? Then you could maybe only have to...
I was just wondering about the ballpark price, really, so that's perfect. It looks like they are a little less than Tormach, depending on options? Let us know how the machine works for you, for sure!
I'd be interested to know what they quote you on the machine. I'm sure others on here would be curious, as well!
I couldn't say what year Haas went to version 14 software, but it was a while ago. The easiest thing to do would be to check it on any machine you are interested in. It's listed in the parameters...
I think what you want is a G32 cycle. It can do changing angles like that (taper to straight, etc).
From the Haas online manual: "G32 differs from other thread cutting cycles in that taper and/or...
Your welcome. Glad you got it worked out!
It'd be a lot easier to trouble shoot if you included a program, offsets, machine type, that sort of thing.
Are you blocking lookahead before the M96? If not, the M96 is probably being processed at lookahead time, so the output may not be in the same state when it is polled as it is when the line is...
Displayed messages are often overwritten. You could use M130 (media display), if you have the new control. That can be used to display all kinds of pics, docs, or videos.

1) You can't jog, and have the program pick back up. You can do RUN STOP JOG CONTINUE, but I believe that will return to the previous position. You could get tricky with macros, and create a program...
You mean the tool is gouging the top surface outside of the pocket? That could be happening because you are ramping down outside of the pocket boundary. I would think either raising your R-plane a...
I'm not sure what "relief arts" are, but I imagine it involves lots of tiny moves. You might see if you can get your software to output longer moves, instead of lots of tiny ones. I am not familiar...
It would help to know what kind of machine, where you are running the code from, how you generated the code, that sort of thing. But, as a guess, you are running code that has too many strokes per...
Well, it could work, you just can't make it all one line. You need to do something like this:
#599= 1000000.
G47 G98 P0 X1.8125 Y-0.75 (MFG #: ) I0. J0.25 R0.1 Z-0.011 F5. E5.
G47 G98 P1 ...
No, you can't double up the p codes. If you want to engrave literal text, you use P0. So G47 P0 .... (MFG : 100###) will engrave exactly that. If you want the 1000### to increment, you could use P1...
That doesn't sound right. It doesn't turn off if you press RESET, or use M74, or cycle power? Maybe the solenoid is stuck? Where is the air coming from, specifically? Straight down the spindle, like...
G01 is pretty simple. Pay me!
Or, post something more specific and you'll get better answers!
Setting 160, not parameter 160. You can use setting 160 to tweak the comp plus or minus, up to 30%.
The Negate Comp setting I think has to do with what end of the ballscrew the motor is mounted...
I'm definitely not an expert on thermal comp, but could it be that the T Constant is too high? That's parameter 274, I think. That would mean it is decaying the applied comp too fast. So, the...
I'm not 100% familiar with programming with Fanuc, but I'll toss out a couple ideas. First, the lines between the G07.1s define the shape you are wrapping around the shaft (so a G03 fuill circle, and...
And just what does he want with "when should to be done prophylactic service of machines;" ?
Sounds dirty to me!
You need to set up setting 30 for 4th axis, and 78 for 5th axis. They should appear in the offsets and positions pages after that.
Calling a new work offset does not cancel G68. M30 or RESET will cancel G68, however.
