I am using a CNC Lathe with a bar feeder attachment and the cycle time for a part is 1minute 33 seconds, My problem is its a mass production and when I place M30 at the end of the program I have to press "CYCLE START" after a component falls off, I loose some time there since time is very important,
If I replace M30 with M99, the program runs over and over again after parting, but the problem here is when I press the "POS" button on the controller, Part Count = 0, Cycle time = How much time the machine has run after I hit the "CYCLE START",
I need the program to run without hitting the cycle start button over and over again and see how many parts have fallen and also the cycle time for each part not the whole session.
