Need some help.
Recently got put onto programming for our machine shop after our old engineer/programmer left because hey knowing how to program Robots is the same as programming mills! as some back ground I do know g code and can machine my own parts(usually with the aid of mastercam) but production level programming is above my head(for now)
we have a VF-7 and I'm needing help understanding the variables and logic programming involved. What I'm trying to do is come in with our probe and probe for a guide arm on a fixture that if present will cause a crash. I'm at the point where I can semi confidently work with the probe to write in a boss probing sequence into a program to pic up the variations on a casting if that helps.
I know on my Fanuc Robots it would be a simple touch sensing routine with the output stored in a register 32 which is then referenced later in my program but after looking through the manual for our mill and what it talks about with the variables I might as well be reading gibberish.
any and all help is greatly appreciated
