Newbie- Mazatrol 640m EIA/ISO Sub Program, Incremental repeat

[Batfood]

Hi,

I need an EIA/ISO Sub Program to efficiently cut a big-ish 45 degree chamfer using a ball nose cutter.

I want to position the cutter at a point in X,Y and Z, then call up the Sub Program to incrementaly move the cutter down in Z and along in Y or X at a given depth and distance. I want to repeat this process in even values until the material is removed.

I've been using a 45 degree cutter in Mazatrol until now, but tool life is useless when cutting armour plate at 55 rockwell C.

Basically i need a fanuc type canned cycle.

Any help would be appreciated or i'm working Sunday.

Bat.

Cycle time will increase dramatic if you do that, good news is it's can be done. Create zigzag pattern as subprog and repeat many times you like(one program for X and one for Y.
