G12.1/G13.1

[@bakemann]

It's realy pretty easy.... Let's say it's a 2 inch by 2 inch square... So any Y move will be replaced with a C value. Assuming you use an m296, to program radially your x and c will be as follows...... N100 T01000 G90G80G40 (cancel all codes) M6T01000 T01001 G400B-90Jo. (Orientation of head) M101 (spindle unclamp for milling) M33s1200 g97 M296 (dynamic radial conversion) Go x1.5 y0. z0. (Rapid safe) Go z-1.0 (move to square depth b4) g12.1 (virtual y axis) G1 g41 x1.0 c-1.0 f.01 (cutter comp) G1c1.0 (side1) G1x-1.0 (side 2) G1c-1.0 (side 3) G1x1.0 (side 4) G1 g40 x1.5 f.03 (cutter comp off) G13.1 (virtual y off b4 z exit move) Go z.1 (safe move) G28 u0. w0. V0. ( go to the bath room an smoke a victory joint) M1. (Optional stop)

That's some monster cut

bro.can u share the program of this square making...thanks...

[@presicionturning5672]

Can you share actual gcode mcode on this? Thanks

I am facing problem while hexagonal milling using G12.1 code on CNC Lathe having fanuc21i TB. The hexagonal shape is milled on a side not in the center, the sizes programed are same as desired. If I don't compensate in the program and add cutter dia in it's X-axis geometry then the hexagon occurs in center but with curved surfaces on its flats. What should I do?

[@bakemann]

Make sure tour tool is trammed in on center x0. Measure. This is the most common reason for of center hexagon. If not. Make sure you have no x value in ext. Offset, the one before g54 g55.... Last no offsets in x. X0.0 must always be x0.0 for center hexagon. Always use g41/g42 cutter comp

Is there a program that can do the drawing and get a G code programming with a g12.1 function ???

[@Montdawgy]

Did you program this yourself or using software, and if so, which software ?

[@bakemann]

I programed it using a calculator, no software.

[@bakemann]

It's really easy, move to start piont, feed in to z depth, g12.1, program a square, with or without radius on the corner, just replace any Y value with the letter C, G13.1 before you feed or move Z, or MY machine alarms. You can also use G41-G42 cutter comp. If you and your cutter radius on the R value on the offset page.

Top man cheers mate, recently started on a machine without a Y axis so this is something I wanna learn :)

Can u help me how to program this Square or hexagon object using G12.1?

[@Exotic_xWasteD]

it is a Okuma Multus machine you using?

I need help, i dont have function G12.1 and G13.1, my system is Fanuc 10T. Can i do this then? Sorry for bad language :)

[@bakemann]

No function no square

Program codes ?

[@lucasbelo6426]

g12.1 to start and 13.1 to finish

[@azel8494]

@@lucasbelo6426 hahaha everyone knows it. I asked for the whole code.

[@lucasbelo6426]

@@azel8494 When you start G12.1, you need get G0 end put C (Radius Distance), after that use only X and C for coordenates. For interpolation, he did G02/G03 to circular corner, you also use G01 if you want a chamfer. And btw, as opcional, you can use G41/G42 for radius tool compensation. Sorry for bad english but I wish you understand hahahaha

It's program
