G71 Fanuc 0T

[jorgehrr]

Gentleman -

How can I adjust the depth of cut if my machine does not take
the "D" word (I get an alarm if I use it)

This is my code:
G71 P--Q--U--W--D--F--S--. (but I can not program D )

The machine is doing it on it's own but the cut is to deep, from 1" dia.
to .625 dia. does it with one rough pass. I'll like to go a least .100 at the time since we are turning 12L14 steel.

Any help will be appreciated.

Jorge

See if this helps. I have to machines with OT controls. MF-T4 & MF-T6

T4 uses the one line G71 P Q U W D0750 F
Do not used decimal point in D

T6 uses the 2 Line G71 U.075 R.03
G71 P Q U W F
U = the depth of cut and must have decimal point.

Hope this helps,
Wgen

Thank you for your help -

I definitely can not use the "D" word. But I found out how to do it.

It requires two lines:

G71 U--R-- (The U will be the one that adjust the depth of cut).
G71P--Q--U--W--F--S--

Cheers
