Greetings,

im working with a Genos M560-V and my problem is i can't find the place to define what blank material i have, for the animation - i have all tools defined and see the movements in the animated simulation window but can't find a place to define a blank material that they'll be processing.

anyone can help to find it ?

Blank def goes in the program


DEF WORK[1]
DIREC V
ORIGIN H1
CYLNDR 2P,[-50,-50],[50,50],-20,0
CYLNDR 0H,[0,0],38,-20,0
END
DRAW

in the .MIN ? with the G-codes ? can you post a sample of how it looks like ?

he just did.
the DEF WORK etc is the stuff needed to define a blank. It goes in the program (in the .MIN)

I suggest you look in your manual (normally Special Functions section on Graphic CRT Display)

On my OSP7000 I normally use PS LC to define a rectangle.

Here's an example that defines a blank 10" long by 3" diameter with a hole in it that is 1" diameter
The definition unit is 0.1 so 10" = 100
The start point is in relation to your Z0 so if you want the Z0 on the face of your part the start point is minus (-)

DEF WORK[M]
PS LC,[-100,0],[100,30]
PS LC,[-100,0],[100,10],0
END

on the 2nd line the 0 means it removes that part

This example is for the main spindle WORK[M]
To set the blank for the sub spindle use WORK[S]

You can overlap rectangles so if the back section is larger, say 4" diameter by 3" long it would look like this.....

DEF WORK[M]
PS LC,[-100,0],[100,30]
PS LC,[-100,0],[30,40]
PS LC,[-100,0],[100,10],0
END

first line defines start point Z-10.0, X0 then length 10.0 diameter 3.0
second line defines start point Z-10.0, X0 then length 3.0 diameter 4.0
third line defines start point Z-10.0, X0 then length 10.0 diameter 1.0 and 0 means remove it so a hole is seen

or you can butt rectangles together to make a shape like this....

DEF WORK[M]
PS LC,[-100,0],[30,40]
PS LC,[-70,0],[70,30]
PS LC,[-100,0],[100,10],0
END


Just RTFM. It is all explained in the manual......

thanks a lot for both replies.

i would read in the manual but... my management put it the storage somewhere and can't find it now.

i couldn't find it anywhere online.

i'll try to use what you written, thanks again.
