Hello

I have a Arrow 500 with Acramatic 2100 control I have a long run job with 8 setups (no problems running it). At the end of the program I have to go to the control and push

Setups-Activate Setups-Machine-Cycle Start

If the program finishes with no errors I would like to just push Cycle Start

Can I do this and how?

Thanks
David

What do you mean by 8 setups?? Do you mean 8 parts using 1 setup?? If so have you used fixture (H) offsets?? Does each setup have a different program?? Be more specific.

Hello all

I would like to say thanks for all the help I have received here. I first learned G code on a Haas VFOE and Mitsubishi M50 so I am having a problem getting my head around the Acramatic handles work coordinates


I am running one program per part on 8 parts defined under the Multiple Setup page. Each part has a defined setup (xyz) so the program loops on each part till #8 and stops. It is very inefficient and meckart55 made me think about G54,G55 ect so is (H1) offset the same as G54 and how do you define them (where is the table).

What is the syntax for calling H1 x0y0

How would call G82 drill on all 8 H,s

Have to go I need to load the beast
Thanks
David

Yes, you can use this format. You need to put in the difference position for each of the 8 parts in the (H) offset number. Look in the books that came with the machine.
