    Need help with live tooling on cnc vtl

    My machine runs a Fanuc control, and is capable of macro B programming. The following program will Drill 6 holes on a 5 inch hole circle. Is there a way to write a macro to do this.

    M45
    G28 H0
    G0 T0101
    G97 G98 S1000 M13
    X5.0 Z.5 C30. M8
    G83 Z-.350 R-.400 P1000 F10.
    C90.
    C150.
    C210.
    C270.
    C330.
    G80
    G0 G99 X8.00 Z4.00 M5
    M46


    I would like to set it up the same as my other macro's, for example:

    O1000
    (HOLE CIRCLE PROGRAM)

    #1= 1000 (RPM)
    #2= 0101 (TOOL)
    #3= 10. (IPM)
    #4= 6 (NUMBER OF HOLES)
    #5= 30. (DEGREES OF FIRST HOLE)

    I am not sure if it can be done, but any help would be greatly appreaciated.

    Yes, it can be done. there are few way you can mipulate these one with Do-While or you can use if and go statement.
    The best way to learn is trial error.
