I may do just that by purchasing licenses for my friends.

Dave,

Do you have some programs using the G90's cycles that you could share with me?

Thanks,
Scott

[single phase]

There are G90 commands in the program O1003.nc. I will post some pages from my manual too.

D'oh! I knew that

I already have a manual though, so I'm good there. I'm on vacation all next week, so if the weather isn't nice enough to be outside, I'll get a lot done.

Thanks,
Scott

I am on vacation next week too. I started a big tree house for the kids so I will be working on that next week if the weather is good. If not I will be machining.

Cheers

Scott,

Does NCPlot support FAGOR Controls? I don't use Fagor so I don't know. Kiwi in this forum uses Fagor.

Also I posted in BCC's Forum to ask BCC users if they would like an NCPlot Plug-In for BCC V18-V21.

So far Bata 23 is great.

BTW: I Hope the weather is nice during your vacation

Toby,

I've never run or worked on a Fagor control, so I don't know. NCPlot only supports G-Code, so if it's a conversational control, then no.

It's supposed to be hot for the next couple of days, so I'll be in the lake a lot. Hooray for air conditioning!

Fagor has to be G-Code. Kiwi is using BobCad/Cam to do his programming. On to another issue. The Bird answered my post in BCC for a possible NCPlot Plug-In. No Dice :frown: .

Here is the Thread (quoting didn't work again)

The Bird
I hate to be the bearer of bad news....but that is not possible with Version 18-21.
First, BobCAD does not support an Open API at this time(which would be required in order to be able to do plug-ins of that nature).
Second, Development on Version 21 has ceased. There will still be updates as they are necessary, but overall development on that system has been ended.

That will teach me not to get my hopes up

Toby,

Well, I suppose I'll have to wait until BobCAD v22 comes out. In the meantime, you can always use BobCAD and NCPlot side by side.

I have to because BCC doesn't support 4 axis and sub-programs the way I want. Unless BCC does something about this ncplot and bcc will be on all my computers.

Hi Dave, how'd the tree house go?

Just to let you know I've been working on the G90 series canned cycles and I've attached a couple of pictures of what I've got. Does it look like I'm on the right track? I should have a new beta ready pretty soon.

Thanks,
Scott

I have to compliment you on your excellent work Scott. NCPlot is the first software that actually simulates Lathe Canned Cycles like G76, G90, G92, and G94. This should make a nice market for you. Great Job!!!!

BTW; Yes your on the right track. G90 is very simular too G32, G76 and G92 Threading Cycles.
