Codes used in CNC

[Ashish B]

hI,

I have read about manytypes of CNC like Plasma, grinding, wirecut, hmc.

I would like to ask all of you that what are the Codes used in this all machines.

I am very much familiar with G & M codes for turning & machining centre.

I was curious to know if any other codes or coding language is used in other machines...
I refer to general codes like G1, G2, M05 & so on.

There are unique G codes for EDM, Plasma, Punch etc they are to long to list here, I suggest you do a Google and see what comes up.
I have them in book form but none in pdf.
M codes to some extent are standard for each machine also, but can vary due to being written by the MTB, so these can have individual purpose unique to a machine.
Al.

Can you favour me up with those codes...I refer to uncommon codes or can u let me give any keyword for google it down.

I don't think you understand what Al_The_Man said about each machine maker having thier own set of codes, the task of finding out what each code means for each type of machine ( mill, lathe, EDM, plasma, hacksaw etc ) and also from all manufacturers is an enormous job.

You ask for a favour, don't be surprised if you don't get a reply.

an example
G56 -- on an Okuma mill is tool length offset, on a lathe not used, on a FANUC ---who know's -- I don't care--- I run an Okuma mill
G43 -- on a FANUC mill is tool length offset, on a lathe ??, on an Okuma is 3D cutter comp--- I don't care about FANUC -- I run an Okuma mill

An old adage--- a man that knows a little about everything is dangerous.
so my advice, pick a machine, learn it, use it, and then you may one day be classed as a good operator/programmer

yA I got your point..

I am quite aware about the G Codes ( plenty.from G00 to the end ) & also have a fanuc & mitsu manual for refering those...

The cnc hub is mainly distrubuted in 2 groups - Machining centre & Turning centre...Than comes the Boring, grinding & so on..

I been a CAM programmer since 4 years have a good knowledge & control over the cnc lanuguage..I was just concerned about any specfic or codes (which we never come across in CNC Lathe & mACHINING CENTRE )..


Thanks buddy fr your valuable info..:-)
