BIESSE Trig & Rotate/Repeat Problem?

[bigz1]

Its a 3 day public holiday. I have been ill for 2 of them and the boss wants to know if I can program this by Wednesday? Can you guys help?

As you can see in the diagram I have broken it into 6 stages. The first is simple. Everything else is a bit harder. I am using 1 tool throughout so keeping the tool on the workpiece as often as possible gives me a completed workpiece faster.

What I do know are:-

STL=110

BAR=110(may change)

To get TG:-

GAP=(LPY-(STL*2))/100+1 SPA=_I(GAP) TG=(LPY-(STL*2))/SPA

Heres what I have for stage 1:-

N10 G71 LX=1980 LY=810 LZ=40 HC1 Z=PRK
N11 STL=110 BAR=110
N12 GAP=(LPY-(STL*2))/100+1 SPA=_I(GAP) TG=(LPY-(STL*2))/SPA
N20 X-5 Y=STL Z=PRK PRZ=2 F20 G40 TP1 L=PON
N30 G1 X=(LPX/2)+(BAR/2)
N40 G1 Y=LPY-STL
N50 G1 XI=-BAR
N60 G1 Y=STL
N70 G1 X=LPX+5
N90 G1 X=LPX-BAR
N100 G1 Y=LPY-STL
N110 G1 X=LPX+5
N120 G1 X-5
N130 G1 X=BAR
N140 G1 Y=STL

This completes stage 1

Stage 2

My Trig is very rusty. But this worked...

AN1 = TAN((LPX/2-(BAR*1.5)/(LPY-(STL/2)))

AN2 = 90-AN1

VE1 = (VEE/2)/(SIN(AN1))

VE2 = (VEE/2)/(SIN(AN2))

In Biesse Speak:-

N13 VEE=110
N14 AN1= _A((LPX/2-(BAR*1.5))/(LPY-(STL*2) AN2=90-AN1
N15 VE1=(VEE/2)/(_S(AN1)) VE2=(VEE/2)/(_S(AN2))

Code for stage 2:-

:1
N140 G1 X=STL+VE1
N150 BS+ BA=AN2
N160 G1 X=BAR Y=LPY-STL-VE1 BA=AN1+90
N170 G1 X=(LPY/2)-(BAR/2)-VE2 Y=STL
N180 BS+ BA=AN1+90
N190 G1 X=BAR+VE2 Y=STL BA=AN2
; 1/2 CROSS TO BE ROTATED AND REPEATED

For stage 3 and 4 I am hoping to use a toolpath as in attached both starting from the top rh corner of each path. I could use SPA as a counter for the to stop the lines overiding LPY-STL and trig for their length. But have no idea how to stop the lines overiding the VEE in the other toolpath parametrically.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

[bigz1]

I have edited post 2. Too correct the code and my maths.

I tried and failed to rotate the code to complete the cross any ideas?

[bigz1]

Stage 3 and 4 have taken longer than expected, but now work. Stage 4 could have less jumps if I used L=PSU(but I try and avoid lifting the bit as it slows the time to complete the piece).

Stage 3

N200 HI3=HI2
:HI3 = 0 OR LESS STAGE 3 FINISHES
N210 JM!(HI3=>0):6
N220 G1 XI=HI YI=TG
:2
N230 JM!(HI3=>0):6
N240 XI=HI3
N250 JM:5
:3
N260 JM!(HI3=>0):6
N270 XI=-HI3
N280 JM:4
:4
N290 HI3=HI3-(2*HI)
N300 JM!(HI3=>0):6
N310 XI=HI YI=TG
N320 JM:2
:5
N330 HI3=HI3-(2*HI)
N340 JM!(HI3=>0):6
N350 XI=-HI YI=TG
N360 JM:3
:5
N370 L=PSU



Stage 4

N380 BB=1 LET(TG-VE1)/_C(AN1) LEN=LET*_S(AN1)
;BB=GAP COUNTER LEN IS STARTING LENGTH

(couldn't get tan(posibly my poor maths) so I used COS then SIN)

N390 X=BAR Y=STL+TG PRF=2 F20 G40 TP1 L=PON
N400 G1 XI=LEN
:7
N410 JM!(BB=SPA/2-0.5):8
;IF LAST ASCENDING LINE IS NOT CENTRE OF APEX? LIFT BIT AND MOVE
N420 L=PSU
N430 YI=TG PRF=2 F20 G40 TP1 L=PON
N440 BB=BB+1
N450 JM:10

(Section 7 could be deleted if I used PSU and PON for the diagonal moves)

:8
N460 JM!(BB=<SPA/2):9
;ARE HORIZONTAL LINES LESS THAN HALFWAY?
N470 JM(BB=SPA-1):12
;IS SECTION 4 COMPLETE?
N480 XI=HI YI=TG
;ASCENDING GAP MOVE
N490 BB=BB+1
N500 JM:10
:9
N510 JM(BB+SPA-1):12
:IS SECTION COMPLETE?
N520 XI=-HI YI=TG
;DESCENDING GAP MOVE
N530 BB=BB+1
:10
N540 G1 X=BAR
; LINE TO LEFT
N550 JM(BB=SPA-1):12
;IS SECTION COMPLETE?
N550 YI=TG
:GAP MOVE IN Y AXIS
N560 BB=BB+1
N570 JM(BB=SPA-1):12
;IS SECTION COMPLETE?
N580 JM!(BB<SPA/2):1
N590 XI=LEN+((BB-1)*HI)
;ASCENDING HORIZONTAL LINE LENGTH
N600 JM:7
:11
N610 XI=LEN+((SPA-(BB+1))*HI)
;DESCENDING HORIZONTAL LINE LENGTH
N620 JM:9
:12
N630 L=PSU

The pprogram works well the only problem I could forsee is if the cross got really WIDE or the door height was really small some extra jumps would be necessary in Section 4. Otherwise it works perfect.

Still working out the rotate comand but getting close to an answer.

someone is having fun! waking up in the night with biesse codes floating in front of your eyes? lol

just received my new 335 biesse (93 model) -easier to convert than the 321 model as it doesnt have serial comms.
started the mach/galil conversion on it last night.
then stuff like this will be easy! imagine a nicely v carved door. mmmmmmm

You know your going to miss spending a week on figuring out a simple program.

Instead of teasing me. How about figuring out how to mirror code in the y axis?????? So i can complete the final stage.

I think it has something to do with working tables and the fixed cycle PM.

Good luck with the conversion an how about a thread on it?

[battwell]

have you tried the rt command rt180?

[bigz1]

Yeap i have got the rotate to work to complete stage 5:-

:12
N630 L=PSU
N640 X=LPX/2-(BAR*0.5) Y=LPY-STL-VE1 G40 TP1 L=PON
N650 X0=LPX/2+(BAR+0.5) YO=LPY
N660 RT=180
N670 CC=CC+1
N680 L=PSU
N690 JM(CC=1):1

What I need to do is now mirror stages 2,3,4 and 5 to complete stage 6.

[battwell]

change the x offset and repeat code?
thats how i do numerous jobs on a sheet

does it have to be mirrored or can you do a same way repeat?

[battwell]

for anything im going to repeat i normally start at the centre of the repeat job so its simply a matter of changing xo= to xo= (new position) this way you can also use it as a sub routine and call with just xo and yo = coordinates

in your case the second offset is twice your bar plus the hatch code width.

id like the full code listing when its done. i could do with some new doors!

bigz has cracked biesse code ! in a strange sort of way. well done you have learnt well.
do you get extra beer and chips for this? find me a job over there

[battwell]

just noticed youve already used xo.
you would have to add to it to shift to right place for second runs.
