    Re: Whats wrong with my program? LT10-M/U100L

    you can, you just need to know how ;-)

    to swap back to the left side after finishing the right side, put this crap at the end of each program.

    Re: Fanuc O-T control axis can't move backward

    this is a common problem caused by a stuck or non-functional deceleration switch somewhere. you need to check all Z axis switches at BOTH ends of the stroke limits.

    Re: Work Offset Distance Viewing

    the easiest way to set the workshift is move the tool to X0 then type X0 and press [MEASURE] button. move other axes and repeat (Y0 MEASURE, Z0 MEASURE)
    for basic setting, that's all you need to do....

    alarms are normal for the Multus (or actually for anyone coming from non-Okuma background or older Okumas to newer Okumas). The alarm book is nearly 2" thick.

    Re: Fanuc type II G71 help

    In Type II there is no last pass. Because the cuts blend out there are no steps so a final clean-up pass isn't needed.
    I seem to recall this behavior is a bug in the software.

    Re: Disable write protect key functionality

    there are parameters for that. I'm guessing they will be PMC parameters because that kind of write function only at a
    certain time is very unusual. I assume you can't run the machine when the key...

    Re: Fanuc 6T issue

    could be a dodgy turret switch. if the index switch is not working or stuck in a mid-rotate position the machine will wait for it to complete. the check for it only happens in memory mode.

  13. Re: Fanuc 6TB g71/g72 canned cycles not canceling U or W after finishing cycle

    the program is correct. note only the D can't have a decimal. the U/W should work fine with a decimal (I worked and programmed CNC's including F3/F6 up to 32i's for ~30 years)

    you are correct...

    Re: A quick G71/G72 question?

    a simpler way to look at it is when using G71 position the start X point at the same diameter as the material size and position the Z start point in front of the material by about 0.05" or so

    Re: Moving to a Machine position...

    I don't think G53 will help there. movement in G53 is fixed at rapid speed.

    Re: Moving to a Machine position...

    G53 is the normal way to do that.
    G53 means move in machine coordinate system
    just do G53 G0 X Z and it will be a move in machine coordinate system. macro is not needed.

    PC FAPT is a 16-bit program written when Windows 3.1 was active. It can also run on XP but it's no longer available since around 2007.
    You can't buy a dongle for it anywhere, not at any price. Use...
  26. Re: Anyone know of working download of FAPT software to work with Windows 8.1

    if you mean PC-FAPT, it works only in Windows XP. it is discontinued and there is no support.
    use XP and it requires a dongle, it won't work without it.
    or use a different program.
