I have just set up my robodrill T14iA and have a question. I am going to need to do some cylindrical mapping and engrave words on a round part. I know on the haas I run I can just call out cylindrical mapping and then tell it the radius of the bar and it converts Y movement into A axis angle rotation. My question is this, is there any way to do this on a robodrill. The control is a 16i-M and has macros but I have never messed with programing a macro. Just looking for some tips. I mean I could long hand it and calculate each move but I need a way to just type in a text engraving line and go. I'm needing to engrave serial numbers on round parts. Thanks so much for your help.
