0Mb robodrill / drillmate sample code needed

[goodplastics]

I have a 1991 Fanuc Drill Mate - T model 10 with fanuc 0Mb control, I am trying to get scanvec amiable to write me a post for enroute pro 3.3 but they want an example of perfect code to compair to. I have been learning alot but so far am unable to write a sample program that is exactly correct. I am wondering if any of you guys have the same machine I have and could let me borrow a simple part program and the drawing and specifics to the part so I could recreate it in the enroute software for compairison. I only need a hole or two and a square with radiused corners and maybe a pocket millout to use as an example. I have determined that the machine doesn't like the % sign at the begining of the program and that it likes a short REM line at the begining of the program to kick off comunications without overflow error. Any help with this would be greatly appreaciated and the thank-yous would flow unceasingly from my keyboard!

Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,
One of our machines is an Pratt & Whitney Tapemate. It has the Fanuc 6M control with 128k of memory. We use it all the time for small, short run parts.

The % at the begining doesn't surprise me, that's a "handshake" that's gonna tell the machine your done.

If yours is like mine, I type 0-9999 read (that's a zero)

and your program should look something like this


:0023
(PART #067)
G0G91G28Z0M5
G90
/T1M6
M1
(.236 DRILL)
G0G54X-1.Y1.S2400M3
G43H1Z1.M8
G73G98R.1Q.2F25.
X1.
Y-1.
X-1.
G080G91G28Z0
T2M6
M1
(.250 REAMER)
G0G54X-1.Y-1.S2400M3
G43H2Z1.M8
G73G98R.1Q.2F25.
X1.
Y1.
X-1.
G0G80Z2.M9
G0G91G28Y0Z0M5
G90
T1M6
M30

now you can put a % here at the end, or you can put a sub program. If you leave off the %, you can load as many programs at once that your control will hold.

When you punch programs, same thing , type 0-9999 punch. If your programs in the machine had O's at the begining, that's the same as :'s at least in mine it is.

Anyway, that should get you started. There are some good people on here that have a lot of time transfering programs. And some can get you hooked up just how you need.

I've been in this trade for 27 years and am glad there is a forum to bounce stuff off of other people with like problems. If I can give you more help let me know.

Another 14 hr day, wew, where does the time go!

What type of drawing CAD or PDF?
If a CAD drawing is what you want, what format/extension, DXF, DWG, STEP IGES, STL, or 3dm??

Is this for RS323C Communications or RS422?

Some softwares that have Communication Abilities
