Lets look at Heidenhain programming in detail - How easy is it to use?

[@swarfgurucncmachining8763]

Great explanation. Well done team.

[@ipadize]

you dont actually need to write L Z+10 FMAX because the cycle will tell the machine to go to the safety height at FMAX already :) also a better way to program is to use Labels "LBL" for the position where you want to do cycles for example drill, chamfer and then tap then you only need to define the position of the hole once. TOOL CALL 1 Z *Drilling cycle* CALL LBL 1 TOOL CALL 2 Z *Pocket cycle* CALL LBL 1 TOOL CALL 3 Z *tapping cycle* CALL LBL 1 M2 LBL 1 L M140 MB MAX R0 FMAX M3 M8 L X+112.5 Y+27.5 M89 L X+120 L Y-27.5 M99 L M140 MB MAX R0 FMAX M9 LBL 0 where M89 marks the beginning and M99 the end of automatic cycle execution. (at every position between M89 and M99 the control will execute the cycle including the line where M89 and M99 is written) M140 MB MAX only tells the control to drive the Z axis to the maximum.

Thank you !

M140 WHY maximum ?? feed or what cant see the point on my machin its sent z axsis z+ 30.000mm 3 meter i z +

@@gertkristensen6451 M140 MB MAX is just moving the Z axis to Z-Max of your machine. Its just a universal way to do the same thing on different machines.

Too many ..for none..go to computer .and finish in 5 min

Siemens SINUMERIK is much easier than Heidenhain

[@Hanal503]

Too much..for nothing

[@cadcamdevelopment8244]

no compassion from cam software. programming on machine controller ??/your shop will depend on the trained skills worker the machine will occupy during program generation.

The camera is for nothing just talking we don't see what or which bottoms you clicked

Your saying this is easy lol are you serious 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@MTDCNC]

it is once you've learnt it

[@scare6262]

@@MTDCNC but how do we even learn this, can we memorise anything for this cnc stuff ????

[@Windows350]

@@scare6262 to be honest, its just a thing of learning by doing. you remember so much when youve done it by yourself and you thought about what youre doing.

First time I'm looking at this system as I'll be using it in my new job and it looks fairly self explanatory to me? It tells you exactly what you need to put in at each step. Much easier than memorisingG commands and writing it from scratch.

[@gertkristensen6451]

I can teach you it in 5 min and you will understand it ... that cycle is the simplest together with drilling cycle. std pocket ,, contour,, slot,, drill,, is easy,, it looks wild with all the Q parameters but just try to look at it for more than 3 seconds and say I can't figure it out .. then there are pictures on the right that show what the q praremeter does

[@gertkristensen6451]

I guess she's also programmed blah blah okay blah blah okay blah blah slow down
