Hello all,

I am attempting to save a friends company a ton of time by modifying this macro for his grinding machine. g-code is no problem for me and i think i have this macro figured out for the most part. let me back up a second... This is to cut a square carbide insert, they run this program then turn the tray of parts 180 and run again, problem is, it cuts the outside of the insert, then turns to -80deg to cut a 10deg land on the edges. So, when they turn 180 and re-run all they need to do is the 10deg angle, not the outside again so they are wasting about 5min per insert cutting air on the second op. So heres my question, how can i remove the section that cuts the outer edge and then they can just change the program when they turn 180 and have it only cut the 10deg angle.... seems like it has to be very simple but not being fluent in macro i wanted to see what the great community of cnczone thought. any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. here we go

****this part cuts the outside, this is the part i need to remove/jump*********
I believe this is where i need to jump from, or start deleting, just want to make sure to have all
necesary info and all axis in correct position as compared to where the angle cutting starts.

:violin: please save the colorful comments, im new to macros and my friend is clueless

[ssenn02]

thought this might help...
as far as the machine all i know is what the book says which is ap-50 fanuc robot

this is the part

[fordav11]

its difficult to see exactly what the macro is doing because it's using some non-standard G-codes (G100, G102) and non-standard M-codes calling MTB macros (M80, M800, M801). They are most likely either built into the control flashROM and run via the macro executor or called from 9000-series programs.
You will need to check your parameters to see if the M-code is set to run 9000-series programs or non-viewable macro-executor programs. You don't say which control you have so can't advise on parameter numbers but if you check your manual in the macro section it should tell you which parameters control calling custom M-codes. If you can view the macros called from the M-codes then it should be possible to figure it out.

also, there is a parameter that allows a macro to run in single block mode. if you set that you can just watch the macro and see where it starts the section you don't want then just put a GOTO to another line and it'll skip it. No need to delete anything.
So you add (for example) N999 where you want it to jump-to, then at the jump-from point put in the program GOTO 999
It's best not to delete complicated custom macro stuff unless you really know what it does.
