So I'm attempting to muddle my way thru a macro program on a Haas TM3P. But I totally got stuck trying to use cutter comp in a macro subprogram. Can you call G41/G42 in the main program, then go into the macro thru G65? I also put the cutter comp in the macro subprogram, but that didn't do anything. I ran basically the same g-code just with real numbers in the main program, and it ran fine. But the machine just won't do it when it calls up the macro... Errors out that the Tool is too large, which doesn't make sense mathmatically with the size of the tool I'm using
Would another way be to call up something like G65 P5997 D___ as a variable to put into the macro subprogram? I attempted to read the Haas manual/Smid's book on that stuff but it went way over my head.
Hell, I could have just screwed my arithmetic up...
Heres what I have now:
(SLEEVE DIA) #100 = 4.075
#101= [ #100 - 2.5 ]
(Z-DEPTH) #103 = 1.035
(2 ROUGHING PASSES FOR SLEEVE)
T11 (1IN HSS ROUGHING EMILL)

I know its ugly and bastardized, but hey its one way to learn.
Thanks for the help.  |
