I am not sure about the misubishi control, but the prefered and fastest method of execution for fanuc compatable machines is as follows for the spindle
S250M05
G84X...Y....Z...R...E(F)...
Spinde has to orientate in a G84 cyle and having to stop the spindle prior to this will only slow your cycle down.
As far as the import machine ..... if you were to poll every shop and machine tool owner in the USA , you would find that an overwhelming majority own import machines, with imported controllers, yet some may have been assembled here in the states. I prefer Japanese Machines, and most definately Fanuc controllers for the type of work I do. |
