Might be the same on the OSp7000. If you try a M221 do you get an alarm? If so it doesn't have the flat turning option
Flat turning is a fast process of putting a polygon on a part. It is much faster than doing a X-C contouring operation, although not as accurate. Sometimes it's called poly turning.
If you wanted a part with a hexagon you do approximately as follows:
G50S3000
M5
M222
M3S500
G0X500Z10
Z-5
G1X200F1
X500
G0Z10
M5
M220
M2
Using a 3 flute cutter this should produce a hexagon on the part. The whole program works with no error codes but does not produce the flats. All it does is put 6 equal spaced marks in the part. |
