    Help with a Fanuc GE 0M ( milling machine 3 axis )

    I have recently bought this machine ( Kryle VMC-500B ), it was made in june 1991...
    The language is in ISO and i'm trying to do some tests...
    And i am surprised to see that it didn't recognize cycles of pockets !!! ( G71 and G12 ), how i can add these functions.

    It is normal ?

    Faythfully yours

    If I recall correctly, G71 is not valid on Fanuc milling only turning, what operation are you trying to do? and do you have the Fanuc operator manual for the OM?

    I'm trying to do a rectangular pocket ( and after i have to do a circular pocket )
    No, i haven't the Operator manual af the milling, a friend tell me
    that is maybe an option or a macro to buy in supplement.

    These functions is most likely options on your machine,most of the Cycles on the controllers is deliverd as an option by Fanuc, then its up to the machine builder on what functions they want to sell the machine with, so the cycles can vary beetween machines even if they have the same type of controller.

    So contact the maker and ask them on what cycles they deliverd your machine with as standard, if not you can always buy them from Fanuc and they will come out to you and set the parameter (expensive).
