Heidenhain Program Restart. Now you must have heard me banging on about program restart on certain machine controls.
On some it’s just non existent the best you can do is move to a tool change and start there. Oh and pray to any god you may believe in.
On a Fanuc control program restart it’s a rare option, and no fucker knows how to use it anyway, except me so click on this link.
Work Around
Without it, if you really know what you are doing you can restart programs.
This said you must have a real good knowledge of programming and modal G Codes.
What you can do is read the tool change line (M6 T06) then let the machine read the G43 line to take in the tool offset. Now you can then go on to read the canned cycle. From this point you can move on to any position and it will carry on (allegedly).
This is Fuckin dodgy. It’s a bit like having cataract surgery whilst driving a Sherman tank. You definitely need to be over 21 and not of a nervous disposition.
Anyway it does work, honestly, just be sure there is a full moon and you turn the control panel to face Mecca.
Joking aside make sure you understand the modal information on your control panel which you should do anyway.
What’s Modal Information?
Well it’s that screen you’ve been ignoring for years.
Please take your time and have rapid at minus 1000,000%. Be in single block and read this.
Remember if you crash this beast I will say I never met you and I definitely didn’t write this article, which will suddenly disappear into the ether at the slightest sniff of a lawsuit.
You know that screen you cant even be arsed to look at?
Well actually it contains some very useful shit so pay attention you naughty boy.
So this means you know and understand the following.
- Is the machine in absolute or incremental?
- What work offset is active?
- Is the tool offset active and if so which one?
- Is the machine still in compensation G41 G42?
- Is the plane selection correct, usually XY G17?
- Is the machine in feed per rev or feed per minute?
- What speeds and feeds are active?
- Is the machine in rapid or feed G0 or G1?
- By the way if you come to me for some training I can impart all this knowledge on you.
