Hey all, I'm new here and new to CNC machining. My name is Jesse, and I'm completely self taught on CNC, and still learning.
I'm having an issue with my bridgeport mill with an anilam 5300 control. I cannot get the G68 command to loop the subprogram. It will call the sub, go through the first few lines in the sub, then repeat the first few lines, then go back to the beginning of the main program. Here is the sub I'm trying to loop with the G68 from the main program,
On the Anilam's, if you are using G41/G42 in the XY plane, you have to make an X/Y ramp off move with the G40. It won't allow a Z move to kill XY comp. It seems to run OK for me if I use a .250 tool. I added a G40 Y0 move after the Z.500 move.
You do not have to have N #'s in the program, but without them the CNC only tells you you have an error, but not what line it is on. If you do use N#'s, then it will say something like 'Error in N220 - Illegal address'.
I got it working. The coordinates wouldn't rotate because i didn't have the main program named. Once I named it, everything worked. I just had to fine tune the values to get the angle right on the second cut.
