Extension Cord Caddy Machining Program

This program will machine Extension Cord Caddy(s) as pictured below. The program will automatically nest any quantity desired (or one at a time) by setting a variable at the beginning of the program. The program may also be setup to prompt the operator each time for a quantity. This is a very handy item to keep those extension cords tangle free. They make for nice gifts also.

3-Axis Circle Macros (M920 cw & M930 ccw)

These Macros are specifically designed for 3-axis machining. These macros will automatically create a tangent lead in/out arc that is based on a percentage of the main arc and number of degrees desired to lead in/out with. The tool is simply positioned to the center of the hole that is needed. 4 variables are set to let the macro know the diameter, plunge depth, speed, and plunge speed. The macro will then automatically index to the start of the lead in, perform the lead in, the main circle, the lead out, then move back to the exact location before the macro was called.

Axis Shift Utility

This utility allows you to adjust line segment probed programs on the "X", "Y", and "Z" axes. This will adjust the entire program by the amount and direction specified. You can adjust one axis or all three at the same time if needed. This is useful for moving programs for the difference between the probe and the main spindle.

91/9100 to 91000 AFL Converter
