Renishaw OTS Tool Probe on Haas: Setting diameter wear offset value.

January 16, 2012, 7:31 pm by Eldar Gerfanov (Admin)

Renishaw OTS tool probe cycle for HAAS can set both length and diameter offsets.

Too bad there is no choice: it only puts absolute measured diameter of the tool into D- diameter offset and makes wear offset=0

But if your programming is done with the center of the cutter, then you actually only need the difference between actual and programmed diameters of the tool.


I.E.: When probing 5/8Dia end mill, we get D=0.6248. You would normally have to subtract 5/8 from it and leave the -0.0002 difference.

But there is an easier way

G71 X Z A|I B D U H L E F J M Q

  • D=First Depth of Cut
  • U=Finish Depth of Cut
  • J=Number of threads at F
  • X=Target Depth (minor Dia of theread)
  • Z=Coord of end Point
  • A= Angle of thread
  • B= Tool Cut angle
  • H= Difference between major and minor dia of the thread
  • M= Cut pattern
  • M32= Longitudal
  • Q= Number of leads

Repeating OKUMA CNC Lathe program number of times

January 6, 2011, 1:00 pm by Eldar Gerfanov (Admin)

If you want OKUMA Lathe to repeat program several times you can use a subprogram or a conditional GOTO statement.

On Many Okumas subprograms is an option you have to buy, so we have to use GOTO statement.

Code
O1 
CN=7 (NUMBER OF CYCLES TO REPEAT) 
CC=0 (CURRENT CYCLE)
N0
......
(part program)
......
CC=CC+1 
IF [ CC LT CN ] N0 
M2

Thats it 

This little code helps alot when using bar feeder and stuff like that.

 

Avoiding Chatter in corners of a pocket

January 3, 2011, 1:02 am by Eldar Gerfanov (Admin)

If you are finishing a pocket with wall corners' radius close to the radius of a cutter. The tool tends to chatter, especially with longer tools and harder materials.

To avoid this you can do one of the following:

  • When programming. After roughing the pocket and before finishing. Create a simple drill cycle with finishing tool to remove extra material from the corner. This way when finisher goes to the tight corner, the chatter will virtually disappear.
  • Do the same with a drillbit. Before Roughing.
