SL-10 Sub Program

[JoshKY]

Hey Guys,

I have a SL-10 question. I have been running a Hardinge with Fanuc controls for about 2.5 years now and we just purchased a Haas SL-10 Lathe. On the fanuc controls i use a subroutine program for a safe index point for each tool change. Here is what the code looks like...

O0001
G0G40G97G98G80
T0
X#501Z#502
M99

Pretty simple, at the begining of the program the i'm running i put in these values

#501 = 6.0
#502 = 6.0

M98P1


This makes the turrent go to that location before making a tool change. I can't get my haas to work with this programming. I'm sure that I'm doing some thing wrong. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks
Josh

This might seem like a dumb question: are you sure your control has the Macro option?

[pit202]

looks pretty good , what type of alarm do you get ?

[JoshKY]

Pretty sure. But then again i didn't actualy purchase the machine. What setting or parameter would it be??

It does not know what the x#501 and the z#502 is

Says bad code

[pit202]

for 99% you dont have the macros ;-) go to parameters , one of the first pages and find that line with " macro " and see if there is an zero or one .

Ok I check and no Marco are not enabled. I will have to call Hass tomorrow morning and find out how much to turn it on. Next question....Here is the program that I am currently running. I keep getting a z axis over travel when the program is completely done and i hit cycle start for the begining of the next program.....

sorry, I can not simulate that ( I have metrics ) - but you have the place to move into Z8 ?

I had a very similar problem , but I uses W... , same effect after running the whole simulation the next run was Z overtravel , for me worked to change the W into G0 Z... but I don`t see W in your code, maybe it is an another haas bug in software.

Josh,

I don't use this command myself, but our Haas Rep. suggested it to us. It is a G53 command. Way I remember it working is, you select a safe point that all tools will clear when indexing, and designate that as your G53, then in your programming you command a G53 before you do a tool index. Like I say, I've never put this to use , so get the first hand from the Machine Manual for the full procedure.

regards
Paul

Actually, that's a very good suggestion. I also use G53 for all of my toolchange locations. It's in machine coordinates and it's non-modal (meaning: it goes right back to the current work offset after you use it).

G53 G00 X-2. Z-5.

Don't forget to go back to G01 after using the rapid.

[Geof]

The rapids on the SL10 are so fast and the machine is so small you might just as well send it home for a tool change; G53 G00 Z0.0

I would take care using Greg's example because Z-13.0 puts you awful darn close to the chuck on the SL10.
