I'm new to Acramatic, and just setting my first job. Can't get my head around the co-ordinate system setup. I'm Fanuc born and bred, so this a little different for me. My problem is I have a twin pallet horizontal with Acramatic 950 control.
Job consistes of using both pallets with identical set up on each pallet (4 station fixture). I am running the same program for both pallets, but I want to run a different coord system for each pallet to utilise a different set of fixture offsets, as the two fixtures are not quite identical dimensionally. Can't get my head around how this works.
The fuel cock has the two positions: OFF: With the lever in this position, fuel will not flow. Yz450f repair manual.
Can I specify the same program identity number on two different coord systems? And how does the machine know which coord system to run on each pallet? Hope that makes some sense. Cheers Similar Threads:. Need Help!-. Sorry, I do not have an answer to your question.
I as well am struggeling with my first program, same machine. Nasm cpt study guide 2018. I have not been able to run ANY program so far. Could you please tell me how to enter the program ID. I believe I have done just what the programming manual instructs, but I still recieve 'program IDpallet prgm ID' message. MDI does not even seem to recognize type II PGM command.
I'm certain that I will be abel to program, if I can just get past this. Any assistance would be greatly appriciated.

Did you get past it? Hello, It is a bit complicated. In a two only palet system: - In ProgramMagnament-DirMgnt You must assign (modify) the ID column to match a program with a palet number. The others programs must remain as -1 - Inside the program, in EditMode, You must begin the program with a:G129PxCy x=Palet number y=Offset table (see below) - In OFFSETS (a bit nasty inside this) there will be through SELECT touch 4 options. Only 3 are needed. First select the top option. In this choose the palet number and modify the STATUS to PRESENT.
With the wanted palet highlighted, go to SELECT and touch on the second option. You must select a table changing the STATUS also to PRESENT and the ID to match the palet number. With the wanted table highlighted, go to SELECT and choose the 3er one. Now You have several rows. Fill the needed rows. I usually fill one row per 90º angle (0º 90º 180º 270º) less o more (you will see how many you need).

Several offset per angle are allowed. Back to the program, Edit Mode, You can use that offsets with G0,G1,G2 or G3 interpolation. Are modal until ESC is pressed. The form is (i.e.)::G90G0X0Y500Z500B90H7S250M3M8 -If persist ProgramIDPaletID, try in MDI G129PxCy to make match the correct palet.

Gee, is there not an MCX post that is close enough to work with? Never had someone do a post from scratch (which they won't, but will make it seem that way!). How bad will that hurt?
(ballpark) Is there a good place to gather resources and info on these controls? I find it hard to believe the control cannot operate as incremental, only absolute? I know the Dynapath stuff we mess with is quite different but really just as capable and sometimes easier to work with. More canned stuff and routine cycles.
As far as memory, I believe it had 75,000ft of tape (virtual tape, lol). I understand that to be about 9megs of storage? Is there a good place to gather resources and info on these controls?

As far as memory, I believe it had 75,000ft of tape (virtual tape, lol). I understand that to be about 9megs of storage?you would be correct in finding that hard to believe. But that's not what i said.
I was talking about how arc centers are specified compared to most Fanuc based controls. IIRC large programs need to be chopped into smaller segments due to buffer constraints of olda$$ architecture.
You would be correct in finding that hard to believe. But that's not what i said. I was talking about how arc centers are specified compared to most Fanuc based controls. IIRC large programs need to be chopped into smaller segments due to buffer constraints of olda$$ architecture.But this is a simple setting in most CAM softwares, is it not? Select absolute for arcs? Or maybe I don't totally understand this issue. Sample code to help understand?
Regarding memory, this has nothing to do with buffer or processing unless I again do not understand. You have a program in hard memory but the control still needs to bring each block in and digest it for motion. Are you saying the processing speed is limited? You would usually only break up a program if the memory is limited? You got it, buddy.:-) it is an easy change in most cam systems. Not saying the control has a hard time to munch each block, just that on larger programs, the control needs to break it into segments the size of one of the buffers. When that buffer is completed the control seamlessly switches to the other buffer with the next segment.
If I Remember Correctly. Another difference are commets also mentioned on other threads here that you can search. No parenthesis used; they have to be started with 'MSG;'. Again, it would be great to see an example of this to better understand. I can specify how many characters per block in a program but I have not heard any specs for the control.
I have heard others specify their block/sec rate with up to 27 characters/block. This type of data would sure be helpful to optimize performance! OH, upon further thinking of what you said, you are actually talking about the buffering of the program to part memory?
No other program processing issues during making an actual part? I am sure we can figure out something on the transfer issues. Have some sharp computer guys to work on it. 'sharp computer guys' LoL your average 20-something IT geek will be about as useful as a bag of rocks. What we need is a crusty 60y.o.
Machinist that has a better memory than me. What I've got is a 40 something professional engineer with a hobby in writing source code, writing code for PLCs and controllers, and building ground up PCB assemblies. I assure you, he has amazed me a few times but is blood so what can I say.lol right now, I am specifically looking at this control for processing speed and look ahead ability as with a few other controls around here.
Seems there are some G codes specific to this control to invoke 2 or 5 block look ahead (which ain't much) but when you know the control, you can sort of work your programming and code around that to make it happy. IE, I might slack way off of the contour precision which will generate less code and step off of the part a little more and plan for a nice finish pass.
I know lots of guys that just post their file and run but seems these old controls benefit with smart programming. I know I got into sub programming out of need for both program simplicity and storage. I friggin LOVE IT!!!! So much cleaner and easier.
Turns out that I don't have the option, and at least one of the Acramatic sources (Siemens or Fives) wants $14K to turn the option on. Somehow they didn't get the memo that the life of the machine is such that we have already lost 90% of the likelyhood of using the option. I was able to break the process down into several 'programs' and string them together via a subroutine layout. Max file size is s'posed to be 120K, but I was not able to get 115K files to load, and said that I needed to break them down further. We broke them down to.

It may not be a very pragmatic approach for us to break these programs down into subroutines. How did you come to figure out that you don't have the option for drip feeding turned on? We were running a 3D job, and it's no big deal to break it out. Simply break it at any Z-clear move. Now you CAN let the control break it up for you too.
It is called 'segmenting'. Look at chapter 9 in your Operating Manual. When I broused through it - I didn't find it all that much different than the subroutine approach, but with a Master and subs, I can re-start the process easilly at any of the breaks, so I went that way. Think Snow Eh!
