Hi everyone, I’m trying to figure out how to do an internal circular or spiral entry with G42.
Right now, my code for a 50mm bore at X0 Y0 looks like this:
X0 Y0
Z-(depth)
G1 G42 D(comp) X-25 Y0
G2 X-25 Y0 I25
G1 G40 X0 Y0
G0 Z(clearance)
The problem is that the perpendicular approach leaves a witness mark on the wall. Does anyone have a better way to handle the lead-in and lead-out to get a cleaner finish?
The backstory, this machine had something happen to an axis control daughter board , and the PMC daughter board both have been replaced but I still can’t load the ladder I tried from NCboot and all I/O + write to F-rom both claim to complete but the ER07 persists . I can open the file with Ladder 3 on my PC but of the 2 backups I have both they function the same way at the control. I don’t know what I’m missing.
In a few days, I'm booked to do a two-hour final round interview at a local FANUC office and am having trouble finding specific things I could be doing to best prepare myself. There are some big questions I have:
I'm delaying a job offer for a sales role just so I can interview for this, and want this pretty badly. I barely have any background in CNCs, but I got a real eagerness to learn. I did sales integrating FANUC robots (not CNCs) for a year and took a robotic programming course from them. Along with sales, I generally have an engineering background.
I'm considering picking up a book on PLCs or CNC maintenance but I've heard that studying a book isn't going to be much help. I know a tiny bit about PLCs, making ladder logic programs, and hydraulic and pneumatic systems only from some college course/labwork. I'm eager to travel constantly for the role.
Thanks for helping me. I'll be responding to answer any questions and the like.
Hey All,
My shop has a FANUC CRX-10iA/L LightBot Welding robot that I am attempting to repurpose for machine tending. It’s not a super complex setup, I just need 2 DIs and 4 DOs for this particular application. My hope is that I’ll be able to use the IO board inside the R-30iB Mini Plus controller for those IOS. Does anyone have any insight or experience with a situation like this? I am fairly new to the FANUC game and feel like I might be in over my head.
