G2/G3 Coding

[jrobson]

Can someone point me to some documentation that properly explains G2/G3 coding on 5T/6T Fanuc controllers with tool nose radius compensation?

[tobyaxis]

This book will help you and it's not cheezy. It will explain things so you can understand.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/013...e=UTF8&s=books

It also goes over the tool tip selections for using TNRC (Tool Nose Radius Compensation)
Example: is a Fanuc 10T

If your Control sets tools with a G50 I'll post an example for that one as well.

[jrobson]

Hi

Thank you!

Yes our control sets with G50.

Regards,
Jonathan.

[tobyaxis]

Here is a simple example of a program with G50. Do you know how to set your tools with G50 yet? If not I'll post instructions too.

Hi there

Yes I have no programming problems, simply that with G2/G3 I can't calculate I and K properly...

[jrobson]

On the 6t it is usually okay, but on the 5t very difficult. In the past someone did the G2/G3 for me via mastercam or edgecam or something however this is no longer a option.

[tobyaxis]

You don't need I and K for that control. Use "R" letter address, it will work.

[tobyaxis]

I have some free time and could help you with this if you would like.

[jrobson]

Hi

On the 5T there is no R only I/K...
If you can help I would really appreciate it as I have no idea how to calculate it properly...

[tobyaxis]

Ok that is an older control. I never use "I" and "K", but I'll figure it out. How does the machine read "I" and "K" Absolute or Incremental? This is very important to know when programming. What Machine Tool is It? Tsugami, Nokamora Tome, Ikegai, Mori Seiki, Hitachi Seiki, or Dainichi?

Before I forget go to www.ncplot.com this will help you to view your programs before sending them to the Lathe. It also will help you to learn to hand code.

[jrobson]

Hi

Thanks I will look at the link, I and K are absolute, machines are Ikegai and Mori Seiki, Hitashi Seiki and Wasino are both 6t.

[tobyaxis]

Ok I will post a simple drawing and G-Code using "I" and "K"
