im also having a hard time understanding the parameters of the machine. is there a manual for that? if so i could get ahold of it, i have been studying the programming manual and like i was saying there are some codes that will do certain things depending on the machine parameters, for instance, and dont quote me because i dont have it in front of me at the moment, when P009(1)=1 and P009(0)=1. im assuming this has something to do with the limits of the machine, but i dont know.
also it gives a format for programs but doesnt explain which codes/axese inputs are supposed to be programmed alone, and which get re-programmed on another block.
here is an example of a face off program with a lead.
N0 (7/8 F.O.)
N10 G0 G94 G90 G70 G7
N20 S2500 M3
N30 T4.4
N40 X.900
N50 Z-.200
N60 G1 G95 F.002
N70 Z-.200
N80 G92 S3000
N90 G96 S300
N100 X.890 F.002
N110 X.852 Z-.060
N115 X.757 Z0
N120 X-.060
N130 G0 Z1.5
N140 T0.0
N150 M30
why do lines 50,70 have the same input?
basically i have a very vauge idea of how to make a program like this work for a smaller sized part, by changing the axese. when it comes to understanding what G codes need to be programmed with/work with other codes im lost. tha manual explains what they are. but not where they go, in relation to other codes, however it does list some that are to be listed alone, are these "modal" codes? sorry for the loooong reply. im just very interested.:withstupi:
