Simple G code example needed
« on: July 21, 2008, 08:20:27 PM »
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 ;)

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 :D

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

Good timing Rich  :D

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.
