    G145 means W axis control is on.

    Re: please, what is G145 on lathe ?

    Hi

    You can use G145 command only on two spindle models.
    There is a sample program.

    Code:
    M1 P30
    NTRAN ( PART TRANSFER AND CUTOFF )
    G50 S2500 ( MAX SPINDLE RPM )
    G0 X50 Z50 M5 ( RAPID TO TUR INDEX POS )
    X=[VPVLX-VZOFX]-.001 Z=[VNVLZ-VZOFZ]+.001 T0300 M289 M89 M77
    G145
    W=[VPWTP-VZOFW]
    M288 M247
    M249
    M151 G97 S2400 M3 M76
    W.5
    (G29 PW=80)
    G94 G1 W-.3 F300 ( CHANGE AS REQUIRED - FEED ON TO PART )
    M248
    G28
    M185
    M84
    G1 W.669+.158 F300( CHANGE AS REQUIRED - PULL TO CUTOFF POS )
    M83
    M88
    M184
    G0 G95 Z.02 T0303 M8
    X.88 ( X-POS CUTOFF TOOL )
    G1 X-.08 F.005
    G29 PW=80
    G94 W2 F300
    G95
    G28
    G0 X50 W10 M9
    M150
    M246
    X50 Z50 W50 T0101
    G144
    M1 P40
    NEND

    Re: please, what is G145 on lathe ?

    Kurmay is spot on...

    G144 W-axis control OFF command






    G145 W-axis control ON command

    This command allows control of the sub spindle (W) axis from a program using W commands to move it. It is typically used when transferring a part to the sub spindle.

    G145 must be issued from both A and B turrets so that they agree they will now use W positioning. (works like a P-code for timing)
    Once finished with W moves, use G144 to turn off W positioning.

    Notice X, Z, and W commands can be used.. the X and Z for controlling the cutoff, and the W for controlling the sub (W) axis positioning for W approach, then gripping, then W retract (with torque sensing if desired) then retract to W + limit.

    Best regards,
    Experience is what you get just after you needed it.

    Re: please, what is G145 on lathe ?

    Hello at this moment i can transfer-cut, or move w, without 145, on genos p300

    as i see it, if 145 only allows w positioning, then it acts like a safety interlock on some older controls ... so i am curios, maybe is more to it ?! I dont know ... like maybe there are some w tricks, accesible only through 145 ?

    also may be only an extralayer of protection, as okuma considers safety 1st, and now they no longer require it ?

    this just crossed my mind : w positioning is only posible in g140, so could it be that g145 allows w moving when 2nd spindle is master ?

    retract (with torque sensing if desired)
    please mr wizard, will you develop this a bit ? kindly
