Citizen-Cincom Swiss Webinar: Special G Codes

[@ricardocastillo880]

you explained in 14 minutes what took me almost 2 years to learn form the programing books citizen provides. I hope I had seen this sooner good job!

[@tylerzeman6177]

Ricardo, that is awesome to hear! Our main goal was to condense some very high-level programming concepts into something that was a little easier to digest, be sure to keep an eye out for more topics!

Merry Christmas eve! For many years, I have programmed and ran horizontal boring/milling machines, and VMC's, and created many macro programs using fanuc macro B. With that stated, I moved on to a new company that has quite a few citizen Swiss machines, with the G codes you have outlined in this AWESOME video. I'm currently learning how to run these machines, and along the way, I'd like to learn how to program them as well. At a minimum, it's good to know exactly what the program is doing, so it can be modified, if needed. At this point, I don't know what percentage (if any) of the programs I'm learning how to run, have been programmed with some type of cam software, or programmed in notepad manually. My guess is, any type of advanced contouring going on, it had to have been cam programmed. Thank you for making this video, hopefully there are many more videos (and maybe a few books) like yours out there!

Outstanding! I sent this to a guy I’m training in our shop. We have 3 M4’s and 3 M3’s and one L with another on the way You mentioned the Espirit software. Is that correct? Could you clarify the software you use or in the future do a video with using the software and the machine program be generated

I've been using Esprit on Citizen L12's, L20's, L32's and Miyano lathes for just over 2 years now. I had used PartMaker in the past extensively on both Swiss machines as well as lathes. Esprit is so much more powerful in just about everyway. It kind of has a steep learning curve. In the end it it totally worth it. The post processors for the machines I program are flawless. Any time we have any type of issue their customer support is top notch.

Thanks for the feedback Brandon! We have a few guys on our team very experienced with ESPRIT, but the guy presenting in this video does all his programming at the lathe itself. When working with very complex geometries a CAM software like ESPRIT is very beneficial, but to Brandon's point it has quite a learning curve and requires weekly - if not daily - use of the software.

Hello sir can you help me to learn how to program this machine and work on it

[@chokrirayani6550]

really great, but i need citizen M16 3M3 model 2009 machine manual and thank you

[@thojh22]

can u make a vdo explain about G950. I kind of confuse when they set X0Y0 but Z is not zero

[@tylerzeman6177]

Hey True, we will work on developing this content!

[@ameensn2846]

What is code G165???

[@ameensn2846]

Can anyone explain g79 code for drilling on a citizen lathe? What is i,k,a,q,j

[@danielnieckoski9025]

If you have win cnc it should have a g and m code list. Go into there it will have all the variable explanations.

[@aesbro]

Respect for you dear, i am stuck with M20, is there any manual for it . if you have , could you please share

[@tylerzeman6177]

Waqas, please reach out through the form on our website and mention me by name, we will try to get you a manual: www.mcclaintool.com
