Description
Learn how to do more with your CNC mill or lathe by utilizing macro programming and probing. Let your machine make decisions and interpret data to make more parts, better! Macro programming lets CNC machine programmers create logic inside of NC programs that use variables and commands to perform actions not otherwise possible with normal G and M codes. In this class, we will go over the basics of NC macro programming (using FANUC G-code) and in-process probing, as well as look at real-world examples that can increase productivity and process reliability. We will show how to integrate these practices within the Fusion 360 CAM environment.
Key Learnings
- Gain a basic understanding of how macro programming works and what it is used for
- Understand some of the advanced functions possible with macro programming
- Learn how to use machine tool and work probes to their full potential
- Learn how to combine the power of probing and macro variables together
