I'm new to this forum and was hoping that someone here might have some experience in programming in NCCS NCL. I am trying to fix some legacy programs at the facility where I work, and I am running into some issues. The largest issue I'm running into seems to be NCL itself. I can't find anyone who uses it to program anymore and there is no information available that is useful on making macros in this language. For those who are unfamiliar with NCCS NCL it's APT based. I am very new to either of these languages.
There is a canned cycle for drilling that I can use but after I process it through postworks, none of the machines in my shop like the format. Before anyone asks, we have Fanuc,Siemens,and Fagor controls. We also have a machine that runs off Westinghouse (Frankensteined) boards and a MOOG (Frankensteined) control...
Its a mixed bag here.
So my question is: does anyone know how to set up and write a deep drilling macro in NCL? Basically, I would want it to loop to a depth, peck at a specified depths, and fully retract between pecks.
