    Lathe with fanuc control, need help

    I need som starting help with Fanuc controll. Have used Okuma a long time ago and have forgotten what the programs looked like, g-codes and so on. It's a old Fanuc controll, the lathe is from year 2000 or so.

    What i need is something i can refresh my memory with if you can help me?


    Step one:
    Say that i got a steel axle that is 60mm in diameter. I want to remove 10mm of the end to make it shorter. I want to use a cycle of some sort where i can use the T0202 tool as to roughcut and T0303 as finishcut.


    Step two:
    Next i want to turn the piece down from 60 to 40mm, 100mm invards. Roughcut and finishcut with a cycle. Same tools as step one.


    Step three:
    I want to use the subspindel to drill a hole 50mm deep in the center of the piece and i also want to tap (taper?) the hole with m10x1, 40mm deep . I know i can drill the hole in the normal way with rotating piece and a tool that is locked, but i remember how i did it that way so i want it the sub-spindel way
    Tap is T0505
    Drill is T0606


    I think this is enough to start with. Maybe i will post something later asking for more.
    Appreciate your help

    Did not understand step 3? Did you want rotary tools? need list of M-codes for your specific machine to do that. What kind of machine is it? Brand and model?

    By sub-spindel i mean rotary tools of course. Sorry, bad language of me there
    I don't know the M codes right now because i could not find the manual. Can you just write a M code so i can change it later when i find it out?


    I didn't follow you completely on the program you wrote so i will ask in a different way so can i understand it better.

    Here's something from a program i wrote in the Okuma i used before;

    N190 G50 S1800
    N200 G00 X999 Z333
    N320 G96 X300 Z5 S250 T030303 M03 M42
    N330 (ROUGH OUTSIDE DNMG)
    N340 M08

    N370 G00 X999 Z333 M09
    N380 G96 X300 Z5 S280 T020202 M03 M42
    N390 (FINISH CUT OUTSIDE DNMG)

    N480 G01 X165
    N490 G40 X170
    N500 G80


    What do i have to do to make it work in Fanuc?
    The cycle is in the end as you can see and i would like to have it there since it's easy to find when i'm changing values :P

    Thanks for you help
