Hi guys,

I have a question on the 3D simulation for a lathe tool path in UG NX 9 CAM.

I created a few operations for turning a part. I had originally set my machine coordinate system for the...

It was previously written. I was examining and rewriting certain parts to achieve better cycle times with newer tools and grades, this post was about time trials which worked well



Correct, 1...

I wish I could put it in a CAM system and analyze times, but not possible. It is old code that I am in a "continuous improvement" project on.

All 50 machines are the same with the same OSP 200...

It ouputs something similar to this

START CYCLE 913043.38 MIN
BETWEEN CYCLES=-38.466667
TOOL = 6 - CUT TIME= 0.0666667 MIN
TOOL = 25 - CUT TIME= 3.3666667 MIN
TOOL = 10 - CUT TIME= ...

Thanks for the code snippet. I figured out what the issue was, I had the comments below my first line before the $1 and this was most likely why I was getting my troubles. I also noticed that it...

Hello,

I have a question on the amount of allowable comments in a Citizen M32 lathe program. I've been programming for years but am new with Citizen machines. Our shop has about 350 CNC machines...

I have been able to get programs in and out with the RS232 port and a scan tool with the IO port set to "0" but the PMCIA slot in the control next to the display doesn't communicate with any setting....

Hi guys,

Searched through the archives but didn't see anything on this. The machine is a Mori Seiki SL 250 Lathe with a MSC 500 controller. I’m trying to get a program from the machine onto a...

Figured it out, added this code to the beginning of the main program

(CAPTURE START TIME)
VC41=[VDTIM[1,1]/60] (START OF CYCLE)
VC43=VDTIM[1,1] (RESET TIME FOR TOOL IN SPINDLE)
TIM1=VC46-VC41...

Hi guys,

I'm working on a Okuma Genos MB460 VE mill with an OSP 200M controller and I'm trying to output a text file for purposes of cycle time improvements that displays the cut times for each...

Thanks for the reply Superman. Looking through the manual, I see what you are referring to, it's on page 35 of my manual. The feed rate is calculated by a formula which adjusts both speeds according...

Hi,

Searched for quite a bit but didn't see anything on this before. If I have a program that is making linear move at IPM and then I want to make a linear move and rotary move together on an...

I found out the problem. As budgieW said, I needed to put a M808 and M807 in there to allow the moves while the spindle was not turning. This solved the problem. As fordav11 also mentioned, I also...

Sorry I meant VZOFZ, not VZOF for the Z offset

fordav11,

I had tried playing around with M16 and M15 in the beginning also but it didn't seem to make a difference, it didn't move at all, let alone move all the way around. In your code I see...

I did have a G94 in there. I was screwing around adding and removing things, so this might be a snippet where it wasn't present. I also tried it with and without feed which made no difference. I...

I believe you can set them by declaring VZOF = 1.5 for your Z offset, VZOFY = ?? for your Y offset etc.

Hi Guys,

Having a bit of a problem trying to machine a part using just the C axis in a Okuma LB2000 Space Turn lathe with an Okuma OSP P200L control. I have a stationary cutter that is mounted...
