thanks, i'll give it a try.

Hi,

a couple of years back i had a problem getting my machine (with fanuc 16i) to cut arcs while feeding in z at the same time. The problem was solved by changing the parameter #9930 from...

I tried doing that as well, but like you said, it really doesn't know the difference
between the two axis. I ended up making up an .mmd for a horizontal mill and modifying one of the posts that I...

Anyone out there programming a horizontal boring mill with fanuc control?

I've used X3 for programming 3 axis vmc and 4 axis boring mill. I need to program a hbm that has a W axis (spindle...

I would like to know if anybody has come up with a macro or some sort of subprogram combination that will allow me to start drilling near the bottom of the hole but retract all the way out of the...

JK,

I changed the parameter and the helical interpolation works fine now. Thank you very much for your help.

Thanks for reply JK.

However i'm not parameter literate, this is what i have for 9930;

0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1

what should i change it to?

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting my machine to do the helical interpolation, I'm not sure if it is a programming error or the parameter is disabled to do so. This is the code i'm inputing into the...

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to setup stock in mastercam mill for 3D rough machining of irregular shaped parts (make the software realize where it is cutting the material...

first of all thanks for the help stu, i will contact you if i run into difficulties.

now to answer your question karlis, im not familiar with the 360 but if somebody compares it to the 410 (which...

thans a lot, i found wintopo very useful

:cheers:

anyone know about a good program to convert image (bmp, jpg, etc...) to dxf file and run in mastercam, and if so is there a trial version available?

any help appreciated . thanks.

i've got the post and the latest version of mastercam from the dealer (the boss forked out the bucks!) thanks for the efforts.

tnc 410

anyone familiar with q parameter programming on tnc series that can explain the basics to me? any help very much appreciated.

if i knew how to use them i wouldnt be asking this question. thanks for your help this far.

goran

okay, that makes sense i'll just have to do it with incramental and repeat my label a number of times but it should work. what i was thinking originally was a short macro with Q values, that would...

can you show me a sample with a label?

hi i would like to know if somebody could help me write a macro program for deep hole drilling. my machine is equipped with a heidenhain tnc 410 control.
i cant find a drilling cycle that will go...

hi jay, here is the post file and also a file on what needs to be changed.

i've changed this post to about 85% of what i would like it to be, only things that i was unable to do are the drilling...

Thank you Jay, I will put up my existing post as well as a sample of a usable program (as well as some notes) as soon as possible.

Goran

before anybody says anything else, i am running a registered version and a post has been provided by the dealer. i've had this post for a while now and it needs to be changed (a lot) to be used...

to answer the first 2 of your questions, the book i found the most useful was cnc programming handbook by peter smid, makes it all very easy to understand. as far as software goes ive been using...

dan,

to answer your question, a generic heidenhain post is available however to customize to a specific machine and control costs money.
im currently programming four different controls, all but...

Hi everyone,
