    Default Citizen L32 - CNC Question

    Hello,

    I am new to the Swiss lathe scene with a Cincom L32.

    I was curious about what the meaning of the CNC code is in parenthesis or after a forward slash:

    (M52)
    /M98H1

    What is the significance of the () and the /?

    I looked in the programming manual and didn't see anything for them.

    Thanks,
    Jude

    The code in parenthesis is "Man readable" and will NOT be seen during the running code.
    The forward slash / is used to SKIP the line after the slash WHEN "Block Skip" is chosen.

    Alright, I found another one:

    G821R1

    What is the R1 after this G821?

    I don't see anything for that in the programmers manual either.

    From Alkart Wizard:

    G821 Main spindle endwork in $1
    Main spindle endwork using tool post adjacent to subspindle

    E.g - L520-VII Endwork

    $1 $2

    G821 G821

    M3 S1=3000
    G0 Z-1.0
    T2200
    M140
    G0 Z-1.0 T22
    G1 Z5.7 F.1
    G0 Z-1.0 T0
    M141

    G820 G820
    _____________________________

    I program an A32 which is different, so I'll give my GUESS that G821 invokes endworking WITH a tool post (such as a live tool post?) and the R1 invokes a tool call on that tool post?

    JudeAustin, I saw you have a L32. Do you have a manual you can share? I'm stuck at home during this quarantine and have nothing to do.
