Haven't made any progress yet. The Fanuc guy did not give us the password, we might have to call him out again. We didn't have a backup of the parameters, so we contacted the company we purchased the...

One of our operators accidentally deleted everything on one of our machine's controllers. It is a Puma 700L with a Fanuc 21i-TB controller.

We had to call out a tech from Fanuc because they...

Thanks for the reply.

The holes are usually pointed at the center, but not always.

The machinists like having Z0 at the top of the part, rather than the hollow center. If I make separate CPLs...

We have a Mazak MAZAK QUICK TURN NEXUS 450-II MY and we cannot get the tailstock to go in front of the steady rest. When we try we get a "soft limit" and we cannot move the tailstock any further.

I would like to define a CPL on the OD of a part, but still treat the holes as radial holes, rather than vertical holes. This would mean the part would rotate on an "Index", but the CPL should not. ...

I am making a custom PCI for a bar feeder we have that needs some variables set at the beginning. I was able to make a dialog that asks for everything, and then outputs the NC code.

My problem...

I am trying to figure out how to disable the automatic feed rate adjustment for this machine. We are using radius offset cutter comp in a lot of our programs, and we end up needing to double our...

I have metric thread coming up using some material that's hard to get. I used the vardex thread turning program to program it, because I'm hesitant to do all the conversions myself and use a g76...

Thanks, I don't know what I was thinking 1/tpi != tpi.

I am going to need to ID thread M72 x 4 - 6H thread.

I figured the tpi will be 4/25.4 = 0.15748.

I was wondering if I should use a 16 tpi insert or a 14 tpi insert to run this thread.

Yes, we do, but I might be able to make my first step of conversion to change every g54 and g55 to g57, and then do something similar to that.

We have quite a few programs that run on machines using G54X0Z0T0 as home position. I have been manually converting many of these to run on newer machines that use G30G0U0W0.

The problem I've run...

I am putting a radius onto some flat bar, and I was wondering if you could use cutter compensation when leading in perpendicularly.

It looks something like this:
