In this exercise, you'll practice how to create an NC program to output G-Code, and, during this process, identify and
interpret tool changes, spindle speed, and machine motion.
Exercise
Transcript
00:04
Outputting code verifies the work coordinate system setup against posted code.
00:11
During the process of outputting code, you can interpret the G-Code to identify tool changes, spindle speed, and machine motion.
00:22
Open the file Turning Practice.f3d.
00:26
Create the G-Code.
00:29
In the NCProgram1 dialog, under Machine and Post, next to Post, ensure that HAAS Turning / haas turning is selected.
00:43
Then, number the program 1008.
00:49
Next, post the entire setup.
00:53
A message appears in the canvas, indicating that the NC code was successfully posted and displaying its file location.
01:03
On the message, click the link to View NC Code.
01:08
If you have an application like Microsoft Visual Studio Code downloaded, it opens and displays the NC Code.
01:17
In the code, under the facing operation, ensure that G54 is turned ON.
01:25
Also ensure that the coolant is set to your desired type, and that the spindle direction is correct.
01:34
After you have verified that the code output is correct, you are ready to machine the part.
