Hi all

I would be interested to know if I can program a zero offset on an approximately 15 year old machine, Charmilles Roboform 200.
For example:
I programmed an insert, i.e. All electrode values are entered, traverse dimensions, depth, etc. .......

Now I place a second insert next to it and I want to run the same program again.

Is it possible?
If so, how?

Thank you in advance

Greetings Higg

Hello Higg

I have worked on a Roboform about 20 years ago and at that times it was already possible to undertake a zero offset and then start a program repeat.
Unfortunately I can not tell you exactly how. For I am already long gone from the area wire EDM and I have no documentation at hand.

greetings

Hello Higg,
One possibility would be using a CMD program and a RBF program
I would approach each work piece again with EDG or CEN.
Go to the starting point of the program with MOV, then enter SEP, CP1,.with the second work piece repeat the same but then enter SEP CP2.

Now a quick CMD program:

GOP, 1 (machine moves to the starting point, which was stored with SEP, CP1.)
SPG THREAD
GOP, 2 (machine moves to the starting point, which was stored with SEP, CP2.)
SPG THREAD
MSG END PROG

My program for RBF e.g. A thread would then be:

1: PN / THREAD
2: FROM / X 0, Y 0, Z, 5 (That is equivalent to the ISO command G92 X0 Y0 Z5!!!!)
9: AXE / Z
15: AUXF/22
18: AUXF/26
21: AUXF/59
24: FLUSH / EL, 3
27: 20 ET =-
28: AT = 1.1
33: DOWN / L, ET, E, 342
34: EXPAN / R, (AT) -0250, E, 343
34: EXPAN / R, (AT) -0160, E, 333
34: EXPAN / R, (AT) -0120, E, 323
34: EXPAN / R, (AT) -0080, E, 313
34: EXPAN / R, (AT) -0050, E, 303, RET
39: AUXF/55
43: FLUSH / EL, 1
45: END

Now I edit menu commands (CMD Name of program)
Only one example
