Hello all.
We have a Fanuc Powermate i D with two servo motors used to position two ballscrews which control a table to dispense sealer on to a part.
The part has many holes we must go around.
We've generated a path offline and the resultant code gives us lines such as this (I'm not sure what the software was that created the G-Codes, something like MasterCAM???):
The existing parts run using code such as this:
Basically, what I'm asking is if the Powermate will recognize the code with the I,J instead of the R and react the same?
What, if any, are the differences/advantages between the 2 methods?
Thanks for any ideas and my apologies for being rather vague but this is relatively new to me.
