Multi Channel Machining in G code with ProgramGuide SINUMERIK 840D Sl & 828D Turning

What does multi-channel machining mean to you? More importantly is it the next step for staying competitive? Join me in exploring this unique technology. Together we can learn how this advanced capability can allow shops to proceed to the next level. In this webinar you will have an opportunity to explore the operation and programming of a multi-channel machine tool firsthand. By utilizing G-code with the ProgramGuide programming environment we will program complex tasks with ease. From managing multiple programs that will run simultaneously with the Job list tool, to adding Wait functions that control the timing of the channels. Once complete, we will all have a much better understanding of what this technology is all about and if it truly is the next step in manufacturing. Primary Topics • Setup and construction of Multi-channel machine tools • Benefits and challenges • Creation of a Job list for managing the part programs in the channels • Programming Wait commands to align the timing between channels • Controlling the operations through the group functionality Video Timeline: 00:12:16 Pros & Cons of Multi Channel Machining 00:13:21 Typical Machine Kinematics - Base Offsets 00:15:23 Demonstration Machine Layout 00:29:00 Main & Sub-spindle Offset Setup 00:31:43 Creating Your Plan 00:34:41 Example 1 00:37:15 Program SYNC Multi-Channel 00:46:22 Safety Line - Program Start 00:50:45 Building Groups 00:53:46 Op1 Turning 01:00:42 Wait commands 01:06:08 Op2 Drilling 01:12:12 Synchronize View 01:15:24 Op3 Drilling 01:23:11 Op4 Part Transfer 01:30:15 Q&A Session
