Good morning all,

I need to program a particular rebate which requires removing all the wood from the rebate to the edge according to the required width.I initiate a first simple rebate at the required X axis and since the bit is not big enough, I have to repeat the operation several times.I would like to set repeat according to a formula like "IF X <DX", then reproduce the "ABC" profile with a precise offset.

Currently, I'm obliged to create a specific program depending of the with of the rebate to implement including one or many more lines desing to program the wood remove :-(
But I think this can be optimized using parametric implementation.

Can you guide me?

Nobody's got the answer ?

Can you explain what you want graphically ? Rough sketches may do the job.

For sure

Let's say I have a piece of wood 400x300x19mm (just for the example, this is the pink part)), and a mill of 16 mm.
I need to remove off 10mm of the height of this piece of wood from the last 100 mm to the end of the piece of wood. (yellow part) on the X axis.

I could write into Xilog+ to go to X=300 mm, and to the first run to remove the 10 mm on the Z axis, but I still have to remove the last (100-16) mm (orange part)
then , write again to do it at 300 + 16 mm,
then , write again to do it at 300 + (16 x2) mm
etc ..

Is there any instruction to do it using a smart way like :
to go x=300, do the job, and repeat it until the end of the piece wood ? (something like until X <> DX, then repeat)?

Im sorry i still could'nt understand what exactly you want to achieve. What i got from your info is first you want to remove 100x10 mm of material which is denoted by yellow part then again you want to remove material 100x16 mm which is denoted by orange color.
If im correct then it can be done easily using the maestro software. Depends on your machine model and year whether it has got maestro or only panel mac. But even if you don not have maestro on your machine it may be possible to create what you want using maestro. I can try and create it in maestro if you want.

Hello!

here is one solution. Sure, you could do that another way, but this is the easiest.

L L50 =100
. A1
G0 X=DX-L50 Y=0 Z=-10 V=3
G1 Y=DY
L L50 =L50-10
IF L50>0 GOTO A1
