Hello All,
I read through some of the older posts on the subject of G05.1, G08, etc. We have a new C.R. Onsrud machine with a Fanuc 31i-B5 Control. This is the most modern controller we have in our shop, and it has some functionality we are not familiar with. Most of the post development was done by me, and I am certain there is a lot of room for improvement. One thing we are finding is that the surface finish and accuracy of the finished parts are poor. Here is a list of questions I have.
1. I was instructed to have G05.1Q1 at the beginning of my program and at each tool change, but I never call a G05.1Q0 to cancel it until the very end of the program. Should I call a G05.1Q0 before each tool change and then reactivate AICC after the tool is changed for applicable operations?
2. I know I should not use G05.1Q1 for canned cycles. Should I be using G05.1Q1 for all milling/routing operations?
3. Should I use a R1-R10 after G05.1Q1 to control accuracy whether I am finishing, roughing, etc.? I asked C.R. Onsrud about this and I received a response which said "Do not use the R values mentioned!! If your machine is not set up for the use of these it can screw up parameters inside the controller!", but I have never received clarification on if our machine is setup for the use of these values. How can I find out?
4. Are there any machine parameters we should have Fanuc change to improve performance?
Thanks in advance!
