Ha, thought I knew what I was doing almost, finally got the X & Z axis motors mounted on my Taig,

Wrote a bit of code:

g0 z0

g1 z .25

g0 z0

g1 x .01

g1 z .25

g0 x 0

g0 z0

g1 x .2


g1 z .25


etc...



Sure there is an easier way with loops but can't find the examples I have seen here.


All I want to do at the moment is say take a piece of round stock in the lathe, and turn say .5 long with repeat passes off .010" for the purpose of taking a video, I also seem to have forgotten how to put a dwell time in as I would like to have say 15-30 seconds to man the camera after I hit cycle start. Think that is g4 but can't remember the syntax like g4 P30?


Thanks

Kristin

yep G4 P30 would be a 30 second delay, unless however you have it set for millisecond, check on the general config page.
And just use a wizard, put in start and finish Dia, Start and finish Z and DOC for a pass and you will get all the code written for you Wink

using the demo version and I don't find any wizards for that (darn wizards!) I think Jimpinder had an example of a loop & repeat thing but unable to locate the thread.

Kristin,
Try using one of the wizards to generate the code and the add the dwell in after each pass.
See attached files.

Rich,

Where are the wizards located? When I click wizards in Mach turn I don't recognise which one may be the one you used.

Wizards/Pick Wizard/Turning/Run/OD Turning, OD Fillet
If you leave the Radius at 0.000, it will turn to a square corner.

Turning is not there! Only Teach, Teach rev 1.4 and Thread milling, I am running the demo version.

Nope it's just not there. Loaded the lset screen and nothing in the wizards looks like you discribe.
