Hi, I have a Okuma LB15 MW Lathe with OSP700L controls and I need to program the machine to make 3 slots through 120 degree angle equally spaced which start at the face of the job (Z0) and stop at Z-10.4mm. I believe I have to do this using the Contour Generation Programming Function (SIDE) which carries out arc-form machining on the perihery (side face) of a workpiece by feeding the Z axis while rotating the C axis. I believe the code i need for this is a G132, but that's where i become stuck...I have never used this code before or seen it done. Could some one who has possibly talk me through this process please, and tell me how I go about doing it?Many thanks in advance!! |

| what do You mean with "side face" ? is it side or face? I guess, You work with face - Z exis feed. IGF woul be very helpfull in this case. Check Your control for IGF first ... G132 is contour generation, must be prepared by M110, of course ... |

| It is on the side of the workpiece where i need to put a 120 degree slot which starts at Z0 and finishes at Z-10.4MM, I have equations in which you work out the feed required but that is about it! Is it as simple as G132 Z-10.4(Finishing point) C 240(Finishing point) F 130 or do i need additional information? |

| Littlerob, Sorry I can't put a copy of the drawing on here at the moment due to copyright as the parts are still classified as "samples" and will try to explain in more detail in what i require. I need the C and Z axis to move at the same time to make 3 contoured slots on the side of the workpiece, the X axis remains constant (at 48MM). I believe(?) the code for this is a G132 but that is all i know at the moment?! Thanks in replying. |

| IE G1 Z-...C...F... I just wrote a simple prog at the control with these same feed planes, ran it in the graphics window with no alarm. |

| Great thanks littlerob, thanks for your help. Once the parts have come back from testing and have been given the "thumbs up" I will post a picture up and describe in more detail what they are used for (once the copyright has been granted!). |
