hmm, it would appear that my stay in mighty manukau just got more interesting according to the news.
Argh, hate this place, at least i'll be outta here for the weekend for Round 2. then only a week and a half and i never have to come back
Learnt to write raw CNC code today, interesting stuff, kinda fun actually...
Anyways I'm-a gonna lock the door and hit the sack!
Goodnight All
Paddy
Sadly it turns out i will not be able to come, am moving as assignments and shit![]()
Round 2 is Saturday, G
Diarrhoea is hereditary - it runs in your jeans
If my nose was running money, I'd blow it all on you...
Any body going down to watch mad Paddy beet em up?
Could be motorbike parts... one day...
CNC code for a turning centre (CNC Lathe) looks something like this:
(translation in brackets)
% (Program start)
:1001 (Program Name)
N010 G21 G96 G99 (N010-Step1 etc, G21-Metric input, G96-Constant surface speed, G99-Feed per revolution)
N020 T0202 M08 (T0202-Tool No2 offset No2, M08-Coolant pump start)
N030 S800 M03 (S800-Spindle 800Rpm, M03-spindle clockwise rotation)
N040 G00 X63 Z5.00 (G00-Tool Rapid, X63/Z5.00-tool rapid moves to these reference points)
N050 G01 Z0.000 F0.20 (G01-traverse/set feed, Z0.000-feed into this point, F0.20- Feed into previous point at 0.20m/min)
Etc...
So yea it looks somethings like that, all that little bit will do is start the spindle and run the tool across the face of a workpiece. the programs are usually hundreds of lines long and not uncommonly thousands.
It actually all makes sense and is pretty basic, just like plotting points on graph paper, but you've just got to tell the CNC what tools to use to get there and how
Usually you'd draw up the part to be made in a CAD programme then it would generate the code for you, but the operator/designer still has to be able to read and proof the program before it goes to the machine or else big boo-boo's can happen![]()
I'm coming back Friday night so i can have a crack at em at Manfeild on sat morning![]()
Dum De Doo... nudge nudge... somebody talk about something interesting?![]()
Hows school. lol
Tis a Yamahahahaha G. Just thrash it like you stole it.Gixxer 4 ever
It really did look very unloved. Specially as it was next to the R1 that the whole crowd wanted to look at. Gixxer 4 ever
School? well its just fantasticfinished my first assessment today, its impossible to fail, literally. Unless you are incapable of writing down what you're told to in the place you're told to
Anyways, i'm halfway through my workshop project which is a gear mechanism/winch. Made more fun by the tech quality machines
So school is just great. coming home tomorrow though![]()
jeez, III'll be down that way next week
where do i go to point at yokels and larf?
i hope those nice roads aint wasted on you lot
