Will be calling or emailing Fanuc tomorrow, but thought I would ask here anyway. All our lathes have Macro B option. We have OT, 18-T, 16-TT, and 21i-T controls. Think we also have a 6- (T ?) control, but I don't program that one as a general rule.
I can't use brackets inside a canned cycle on the OT control. Until today I never gave it much thought. Just figured it was because the OT isn't as new or powerful as the other controls. This requires me to make modifications when converting an existing program from one of the other lathes.
Is it because of the control, or is there a parameter that would allow me to use brackets inside a G71 cycle?
Thanks.
