The shop I work for has the nc code setup using subprograms and subroutines. All the controls are Fanuc 6m and 6t thru to the 31i they are all B style.

My question pertains mostly to milling. If I hit cycle stop and move away the tool to clear chips or check something, Is there a quick and easy way to have the machine restart where I hit cycle stop?

Thank You

Take a look at this and see if it is of any help.

Doing a sequence restart or "sequence return" on a Fanuc control, regardless of model, can be a disaster. This operation is so notorious for crashes that most tool builders WON'T show you how to do it!

What I do, is have each tool's start line begin with an "N" number, and then all the data I would need to start the program.

ie :

N10 G0 G49 G54 G80 G90 X0 Y0 F4. S2000 M3 T2
G43 Z1. H1 /M8
etc...

I take no responsibility for this, but it works great for me. I've used this format on 6M 0M and 11M without a hitch. I do similar on lathes.
