Hi Alan. The neat thing with a conversational program is that you do
it at the machine. No need to draw cad or cam files, just answer
questions. Ex:Press-Pocket mill-x1,y1-x2,y2-z rapid, z,end-ips-
cutter,left or right(for inside or outside of line)
It would also have conrad(radius of corners)roughing pass and finish
pass& by how much...
Drill-x,y-z rapid-z start-z end-#pecks
Bolt circle-x,y center-# holes-Start(degrees)-z rapid-z,start-z,end-#
pecks
There were a lot more, but I think you get the idea.
Then you would do a trial run,that disabled the z.(found those +-
problems pretty quick!)
It sounds kind of weird trying to write it down, but it was really
quick to do. I do remember one drawback . It did not ramp up to
speed. (broken cutters)
There website leaves a LOT to be desired...
