Siemens sinumerik controller (not sure of the specific version)
Machine has attempted to pick up tool 3 into the spindle from the magazine but the tool was not correctly located into the tool pocket...

We have a Heain 5 axis routing machine operated by a 15-m controller, the machine has twin tables one being a Y axis and the other a V axis.
Does anyone know if it is possible to 'jog' the two...

Hi, we have had two machines installed recently, one is a JOBS 5axis and the other a Huron 5axis both using Siemens Sinumerik controls.
With both of these machines we can only rotate the tool...

Thanks for your reply, i see the benefit of using this code for what you have described with the groove tool, i have done that myself in the past on a cnc lathe only it wasnt a fanuc controller it...

I have this week started operating a 5 axis routing machine with a Fanuc 15-M series controller. The method of programming on this machine is one that i am not familiar with and am having trouble...

JWK42 - Sounds as though maybe a g17 or g18 can be used when cutting at an exact 45degree angle, perhaps you have to select the appropriate planes depending on wether or not you are cutting at more...

Right ive been thinking about this again and am still a little confused, i understand that G17 would be used when producing an arc around Z axis using X and Y plane, G18 for producing an arc around Y...

Thanks for the replies, ive read them over and over again and am slowly getting my head round it a little more each time i read through.
Whilst the subject of helical interpolation has been raised...

So does this mean that G18 and G19 will only ever be used on a machine with more than 3 axis as thats the only sort of machine that will allow you to produce a circle around the X or Y axis whereas...

Can somebody explain to me exactly what the purpose is of the G17, G18 and G19 codes please?
I am aware that they somehow relate to which of the machine axis are being used but i get confused by the...

You should find that the method given by Capt Crunch will work perfectly, although is only really needed if you have had to come out of the program and press 're-start' which will cancel any offsets...

We have an old Yang CK-3B lathe with a Fanuc series O-T controller fitted to it. Does anyone know which M code is needed to turn on the swarf conveyor?
The only way we have of turning it on is to...

dcoupar - Thanks for the information regarding the setting of the parameters, have now managed to set the machine to read in information after the M30 like i wanted.
Thanks also to everyone else for...

My understanding of M99 was that it was a code used to end a sub-program.
So are you saying that when used in the main programme it can serve a different purpose?

I operate a Fanuc Oi-MC, to change the time and date on this you have to be in M.D.I mode, then press OFFSET on the control panel, then press the [SETTING] softkey, then page down until you come to a...

Thanks dcoupar, i shall try this when i am back at work.

stevo1, What i am saying is that we have a tool probing cycle that stays in the machine all the time, when setting up a job we would go...

There is a generic program that stays in the machine but it has to be hand edited each time we set a job to suit whatever tools we are using, this takes up valuable machining time. And to have a...

What do i need to alter to allow my Fanuc Oi-MC controller to read in additional lines of programme after the M30 code?
The reason i ask is that i would like to add a renishaw probing cycle after...

Made a small breakthrough today, the machine does have this software installed, for some reason when i press the C.A.P button when there is a program in the machine memory it creates a duplicate copy...

So if it turns out that the machine does have the software installed then what sort of benefits would this give me when programming?
Im not expecting a in-depth guide of how to use the feature but...

Yes we have a manual but unfortuanetely dont know where it is.
When i press the C.A.P button it seems to just copy whatever program is currently in use and create a duplicate copy of it.

Anybody know what the C.A.P softkey (whilst in edit mode) is for on a Fanuc Oi-MC controller?

Had another go today following your instructions and managed to do exactly what i wanted to do. Thanks for your help

Thankyou, i shall try this next week....... i'll let you know how i get on!

Just out of interest what would the [CHANGE], [BEFORE], and [ALL] soft keys be used for?
My guess is that [ALL] would...

Hi, i tried this out today, thanks for the advice the deleting technique worked fine, and like you said the CRS~ and ~CRS are the start and finish points but all i can manage to do at the moment is...

Need some advice please on how to use the edit functions on a Fanuc series Oi-MC controller fitted to a Dahlih milling machine.
I know how to do basic editing but would also like to know how to...

Anyone know how to alter the clock on a Fanuc Oi-MC contoller? Its fitted to a Dahlih milling machine. The time is an hour wrong so i keep thinking its time to go home or have dinner only to be...

Not sure if this is the right forum but couldnt see one specifically for Heidenhain.

The fanuc machine i normally operate is broken at the moment so im temporarily operating a Bridgeport Interact...

Thanks for your help guys.

Thanks, that makes sense.
I also understand that if i change the G81 to G83 and add a 'Q' value (for example Q0.200) into the cycle then the drill will then take 0.200" cuts until it reaches the...
