How would you do this line movement?

Hello.
I need my machine to brush a piece of metal.
So I need the machine for example 40" in Y direction back and forward...let say 10 times.
with a certain speed, spindle on at a certain rpm...no Z of X movements.

What would be the best way to do this?
I had done this in the past thru Vcarve but I needed to setup the Z to go lower very few inches.
This time the Z needs to be steady.

Thank you!

hancoding

#101=0

N0010
G1 Y0 F10
G1 Y40
G1 Y0
#101=[#101+1]
IF #101 == 10 THEN GOTO 20
N0020

Or use Line / Repeat in Intercon

Both explained in the manual

Second to last line should maybe read

Code: Select all

IF #101 < 10 THEN GOTO 10
