Hey all, I'm just trying to program a radius which will create a small rounded corner on the edge of my part.

Note: I'm very new to Okuma machines but have a fair bit of operators experience.

The machine is a Okuma Lathe Cadet LNC8C, quite old.



I'm just trying to understand why I keep getting an alarm when I hit the G03 line.

In reality the radius is borderline non-consequential, but I'd rather the machine produce the rounded corner opposed to having the guys do it by hand (not practical).

Here are the lines that I have tried, without success:

A) G03 X.898 Z-.0135 R.0135

B) G03 X.898 Z-.0135 I0. K.0135

C) G03 X.898 Z-.0135 L.0135

Here are the lines prior to the error line, as well as one line which comes after, acting as the lead out:
G01 X1.125
G00 Z.1
G01 X.8845 Z.0 F.01
G03 "A"B"C"

If there are any other data points or pieces of information that could help solve this problem I would be more than happy to provide them. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Your 3rd line down is incorrect, it should be G01 X.871 Z.0 F.01, not .8845. Your "X" is always double your "Z'' on a standard radius.

Also C) option is easiest, sorry forgot that.

hy natha

draw a circle in cad, etc, from point xaya to xbyb, arch<180*, thus less than half

g-code would be : G00 X=2*ya Z=xa, folowed by G02or03 X=2*yb Z=xb L=radius F=feed G95or94

that's all ... once this works, you may mode to compensation codes, or whatever is next on your list

is all ok ? kindly

Try this

G1 X.8 Z0 F.005
G76 X X.898L-.0135
and Z- to your next X move
