oak- profile- finish pass direction

Post by geo.ff »

i installed an oak cnc12 on a Cincinnati vertical lathe. Everything is going well so far.

one question i need help with.

When using "profile" all the roughing cuts run in the path the operator wants them to, but the last roughing cut and the final cuts run in the opposite path, cutting most of the profile on the backside of the tool. I can't find in the manuals or screens how to modify this. Is there someone that can point me in the right direction? thanks

When you enter the lines and arcs which make up the Profile, you have to enter them in the order in which you want the final cuts to be made.

As Keith suggested, post a current Report, and also copies of the Intercon and CNC programs.

On a lathe control, the Intercon program will have a .LTH extension, and will be in the c:\icn_lath directory.

our converted machine is working well, but we haven't been able to get past this issue. Its an converted cincinatti boring mill which is a vertical lathe. Hes wanting to bore vertically and all of those passes go in the intended direction, but the final passes start at the bottom of the bore and work their way up and out. he would prefer the final passes to cut down and in

i generated a report but i'm not sure how to upload it here.
i also grabbed the operators program, but I'll post what i have.

should be the cnc files. I'm not much of a programmer, I'm the mechanic who did the conversion.

When you enter the lines and arcs which make up the Profile, you have to enter them in the order in which you want the finish pass to be made.

All the moves inside the profile -- from block 11 to block 23 -- should be entered in the opposite order.

Starting from the clearance point (profile start), do a linear to X21.72; then a linear to Z-0.437; and so on, clockwise around the finish profile, until you get to X8.95 Z-7.2.
