Sorry for the delay, the revision # is 2.01 (?). Written in marker says a back-up disk. don't know where the original is. The post is working OK now. Saves a lot of hand editing. Thanks all! Dennis

The M03 is basically a marker used in the program so that if either the wire fails to thread at a particular location, or is in a short circuit, or breaks a preset number of times, then the wire will be cut and the control will search for the next M03 and resume the program from there. The M03 has to be placed in the line preceding the rapid move to the next wire thread location. Only then will it proceed to thread at the next location. Note the placement of the M03 in the @RAP section that I posted: T90 M03 //the control searches to this line and resumes MOV X#XPOS Y#YPOS //machine moves to next location T91 //threads wire ****Important to note that in order for this feature to work, you must activate M03 on the SET page of the control. Look for it in the second column. It needs to be set to 1. While there, you may want to activate AWT REF by setting it to 1. In the event of a wire break, this will force the machine to return to the last T91 location, rethread the wire and return to the point of wire break using a low power cutting condition (C888). When it reaches the breakage point, the control will switch back to the proper settings and flushing pressure and resume the cut. It will also automatically increase the MA setting by 1. Note that there are certain situations where you may not want to use this feature. It can also be a hassle if you drop slug at the cutoff and the slug pinches and breaks the wire. If that is the case, you have to sit OFF or the machine will attempt to rapid back to thread the wire with a slug caught between the lower head and the workpiece. Do you know what rev level your machine software is? It should be on the system disk?

I did look in my notes and I have a comment that M03 will jump to the next T91 which is a auto wire thread command. Not sure if this will help you or not. >From the Training Manual M03 AWT Jump (if AWT operation fails at the present position, then the program will be checked to find the next threading position, (ex: M03 T90). The machine will then move to this position and perform a wire thread. The M03 parameter in the "SET" screen must be set to "ON" for this feature to be enabled. ........Example: ........G92X0Y0 ........G29 ........M98P0000 ........M03 ........T90 ........G00X1.500Y2.500 ........T91 ........M98P0001 ........M03 ........T90 ........G00X2.500Y2.500 ........T91 ........M98P0002 ........M02 Jim -----Original Message----- From: CNC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 8:20 AM To: SmartCam users group (E-mail) Subject: RE: [mfg-smartcam] Sodick post Pete, It's a Sodick A350W with a MARK 21 control. I didn't see M03 in the book. What does it do? It seems to work now, time will tell. How is low and high pressure set, by the operator, or is there some trick for that?

You'll also need the wire cut (T90) in the @RAP section and also in the @END section if you want the wire cut at the end of the job. The following line is needed in the @STPROF section: #IF(#XPOS<>#XST,#OR#YPOS<>#YST)<#CALL(RAP)> A stripped down version of my @RAP section looks like this: @RAP T90 M03 // if your machine has this feature, it's a must use. #MOV X#XPOS Y#YPOS T91 I could send you my tmp file but I really need to clean it up (looks worse than the garage) and strip it down first. What machine and control do you have?

Or some advice on cutting and stringing the wire( for coding), how is it put in, User Events? I usually program mills, but I am starting the wires now, too. Thanks much!
