Whats wrong with it?

The drilling cycle does not work .I changed the parameter 0909#3to1 and it gave me 000 p/s alarm . I have tried every drilling cycle and everyone in the shop as well, but nothing works Any ideas?

Why did you change the parameter and what codes did you try for the drilling cycle?

I got the parameter off of another problem I was reading about the same but diffrent kind of machine.And the number was wrong it was 909.3 to a 1 . I have tried G73, G81,G84,G83,G74, it rejects every thing.

Just had a quick look at an OT-A manual and it supports G32,G92 threading cycles and G34 which is variable lead threadcutting.

If there is anyone out there that could give any examples that work on a fanuc o-t series control preferable on a femco lathe

This program creates you own canned cycle in the machine using a macro
Something may be wrong with you software--ie never purchased-----or parameters missing and it could be awhile before you get running -this one will work if you have macro variable turned on in that control-give me an e-mail address if you need it explained or tel -number?

These are options, G74 should come standard, although pretty limited, if you have macro B ,(also a option) I have a good drilling program.

Give this a try:

N200 G74 R.010 (R is the retract amount for the peck)
N210 G74 Z (final depth) Q(peck amount without decimal) F (feed)
