Hello, I have a part with about 48 holes. Any one or combination of these holes may require drilling bigger and tapping. What are the steps to create a custom program that talks to the Fanuc controller.
My vision is as follows
1. Operator opens an Excel file which shows a picture the part and a check box next to each hole.
2. Each check box corresponds to a particular G-code program or maybe parameters to be used by a G-code macro.
3. Operator selects all the holes requiring work.
4. VBA (that program I know) would collect all the boxes and tell the Fanuc controller to load all of the applicable G-code programs or parameters.
Step 4 is where I am lost.
Thanks
Jason
