I'm dealing with Fanuc F31iA control, on a HMC Mori Seiki. I want to experiment with using POPEN and PCLOS coding.
For example:
POPEN
DPRNT[#138]
PCLOS

If I send this string of code: ...

We have a Niigata horizontal mill, Fanuc 16i M control. Once apon a time we used the machines Tool Life Management function. Every since we've stopped using Tool Life, for whatever reason, I'm not...

I'm having an issue inputting a program from a laptop to the CNC (Mitsubishi 500-meldas control), using RS232 cable. I'm able to output programs without any problems. Why am I able to get programs...

I'm running a live tooling lathe, and before each tool runs I had put a G59 which is the work shift I'm using. The machine doesn't recognize it, and the tool wants to go thru the chuck. I ended up...

We have a Hankook lathe VTB(C) Fanuc 21i TB Series.
When we "Zero Return" the machine, while a part program is called up, the control goes into a 9050 program and stays there, so after it's homed...

I'm hooking up a laptop to CNC control using rs232. Once I probe the depth of a bore, I'm sending that data to the laptop, but need some sort of software to automatically open the data. The file...

We have some pallet tools, and need the spindle to orientate to 90 degrees as opposed to M19 spindle at 0 degrees. I tried giving the machine an
M119A90. but that acts just like a M19... anyone...

Our Okuma has Fanuc control.
The 2nd G76 line has P0523, which is the height of the thread. In inches, that equals
.523" In metric that number equals 13.2842mm. I had put 13284.2 in the program...

Also, when running the program in Metric, we had to slow the spindle speed. Example:
When running the O.D. rougher (inch program)=
G50 S450
G96 S750 M3
(feed= F.013)

when...

We have a Okuma 2SP-V5 Lathe. Our threading cycle is in Inches, we are going to run the program in metric. Can anyone help me convert the G76 lines into metric...

(****Inch program*****)...

Looking for a little insite on using G96 on a Doosan Lathe, I'm converting an inch program into a metric program.
For instance, in an existing program we have, we turn the rough O/D (in Inches)...

I'm trying to input the offsets with the classic floppy disk. I've been able to output the offsets onto the floppy disk, but for some reason, when I try to reload them, the machine says "file not...

We have a Tos Varnsdorf Bridge mill with Heidenhain control. For some odd reason, once the machine reads the work shift line: G53 P01 1 (Index B0.0), the machine isn't recognizing it. Any time the...

We have a OKK HM125OS.
Currently after our machine tool changes "M6", the tool that was in the spindle stays in the ready postition. Is there a code I can give the machine in order put the tool...

I need to thread mill a 1.25 x 11.5 NPT
The face of the part is at Z9.312 and the thread needs to go 1 inch past (so Z8.312). The insert I'm using is 5EI11.5 NPT VK2.
The center of my hole is...

Has anyone installed a Telesis Stamper to a CNC machine (fanuc control) to output information from a probe? Basically, I want to take the information from a probe- send it to the Telesis- and have...

Machine: Niigata 80 Fanuc control. When using a right angle head with a 9/16-18 tap, the threads are very tight. I'm using G95 and have a metric program, Feed 1.41 Speed 170, we've checked runout...

We have a Tos Varnsdorf bridge mill with Heidenhain control (fun stuff). I'm trying to figure out the best way to program the following:

My machinist handbook doesn't have the maj. or min. internal dia for a M75 X 3 thread. Is there a chart or someplace where I can find the maj. and min. dia in order to figure out the thread height? ...

So, for example: 1/2-13 internal thread. the major dia = .5 and the minor dia =.45, so (.5-.45)/2=.025 making P0250???

We have a Doosan 2 Spindle -V5 Lathe. I need to cut an internal thread using G76.
The exsisting code we use for a M88x3 thread is:
G76 P021060 Q0050 R0040
G76 X3.4646 Z-1.2 F.1181 P0523 Q0100...

We have an Okuma Lathe and we switched the machine to run programs in Metric. When running a part (8" dia.), I set the max speed with
G50S800... then G96S600... The part is spinning much faster...

I am using the variables for a macro in the program. We're using an angle head and I'm using the X offset to add the length of the tool to the centerline of the spindle. Basically, if a machine has...

When using Fanuc 16i control, I'm trying to better understand the workpiece zero point offset value. For example: when using G55, X = variable number #5241, Y=#5242, and Z=#5243. At the top of the...
