somehow like always you guy find the perfect person to fit right into your team and is a natural behind the camera. can't wait for more macro videos I have a fadal and that's what it likes
Macros AKA branching/looping logic open up a whole new world of possibilities and they have existed way before CAM systems. People who use macros, especially combined with CAM output are on an another level in manufacturing.
Yes! I really do think they are an insanely powerful tool to master. When I was doing applications work in Michigan they got me out of so many tough spots
Macros in all aspects of manufacturing are incredible. Both in CAD drawing, and in programming. It's so much more efficient if you have multiple similar parts or operations
Awesome seeing you on here Donnie. I had the pleasure of working with you in Jackson MI a few years back and you are definitely talented. Keep up the good work.
I did some complex macros, togheter with logic checks (i.e. when the lenght of item is greater than 550mm, drill additonal hole), and switches. It was absolute gamechanger for custom kitchen furniture. Instead of making program for each single board, you only pit numbers, check options, and run program. Programming whole kitchen went from two hours, to 10-15 minutes.
Finally, macro's showed up here. Using macros + advanced programming options (like if, while and etc) to create 2.5D milling contours with 1 pass on Z, and then my "cycle" creating other passes from start z to end z with needed depth of cut. This makes programms soo small
What kind of threading Sorcery is this! All the variables with deflection! Disengaging and reengaging in the thread cut and maintaining the correct Minor Dia with perfect blends! Then i was waiting for the GO gauge to have them hard spots! Nope! Smooth as glass! This ones making my brain hurt a little bit!🙃 Awesome Video Donnie! More Macros Please!🙂
Would love to see more macro videos and use cases where you guys employ them. Love looking at instances that I've never come up against and how others would solve them versus how I would do it. That's one of the best parts of collaborative cnc machining - seeing how others minds work to get to the same end result.
I’ve owned my own shop for 3.5 years and been in the industry for 8. I know nothing of programming macros. Please please please do a masterclass on macros.
i can't really weigh in on this but what we do at work has logic in it and uses macros. i'm just an operator, not a program guy at work. i do have a simple understanding of it as i also troubleshoot when i see something off. i'm also their trainer.. long and short of it is redirecting the program. you can have a program to do a bunch of different operations and tailor it to what you need done. honestly it's not that complicated once you see it. really handy to have for reman stuff, what i do. anyway say you want to bore a hole but want the option to do several different sizes.. you have the code to do all the different sizes with tool paths and all that, all with an n number at first. before that you'll have several lines that say "if[#150eq3]goto500" just use the macro number, 150 in the example, to tell it what you what to do, 3 in the example. it'll then direct it to the part of the code you need, n500 in the example. even cooler, you can send it back to the macro line if you use the n numbers right so you can do multiples. if you're just doing stuff out of stock, probably not all that helpful. making a machine so anyone can feed it in a fast paced manner while fixing wore out junk, it's what you want. i know that example line of code will work on a fanauc controller, i'm looking at the same program i've ran at work. might not be that simple one other machines.
We use macros in our shop for a ton of things, we actually have custom cycles completely written with variables. It’s crazy what you can do with variables if you know how to use them
Have been writing macros (on Okuma Mills and Lathes) for well over 30 years. You can do ANYTHING with the correct thought process. Some of the original macros I made at the start are still being used in the workshop today, with no changes to them... must have done them good LOL. Always great to see the effect of a good macro on being able to get a good part done flawlessly with ease.
This reminds me to Q-Parameters in Heidenhain control, if you master them you can program extremly efficient and you can program complex forms in just a few lines of Code
I made a macro program for a mill where I used to work just a facing cycle but you could easily change the stock height, depth of cut and how much material to remove just a simple easy way to face off blocks of material without loads of programmes. But anyway really good example of how to use these Swiss lathes. That’s pretty impressive how well it picks back up the thread. I do wonder how well it would do on more of a finer thread as that thread looked pretty coarse and no offence may be due to no coolant/oil but the thread finish didn’t look the best visually
I made myself a simple milling macro programm for my 5 axis machine if i need a new block of any size or material. checking 6 lines of program - takes about 12 seconds to change - program ready
I tested the treading in multiple Z-staps on a normal CNC lathe with Siemens control. It worked gread! (I know it isn't for this type of machines but I wanted to test the principels) Thanks a lot! And by the way, macro's are endles!!
Ask and you shall receive... Just yesterday our Star sales rep was in the shop and I asked about this. I'm ashamed to say it publicly but I turned down quoting a couple of jobs because I don't have time, at the moment, to perfect the operation for a production setting. Especially on what I consider a short run. You give me hope because how easily it worked for you. We don't have Tornos but we do have Fanuc servos. I was thinking servo lag would be a big problem. I'm really curious about the code. Looking forward to more content.

Most people think about parametric programming and making it easy to program similar parts when they think about macros, but the really powerful stuff is when you start using macros to automate processes. A creative macro programmer with a probe can create processes so stable that you know for a fact the machine will alarm out or will adjust an offset or tool length or whatever before things start to go sideways. You combine that with using redundant tooling and tool life, and you can start to do a lot of things most companies don't even know is possible.
Excellent! I love macro programming, & have been writing them for years, but if I bring up macros with most machinists I encounter, their eyes just glaze over and I’m asked “ why the hell would you want to mess around with that when (mazatrol/heidenhein, etc) does everything you need??” Er, because it doesn’t do everything I WANT!! I see a nice canned cycle on one machine that isn’t in another I use (or even think of one)- I write it- & then EVERYONE can use it!?! The possibilities are endless, and I’m forever trying to find someone with more knowledge than me whose brain I can pick. (I always feel there’s more I could learn). Bring ‘em on- the more macro vids the better!! 👌👌
Didn't know it's considered ground breaking for some other machinists. We basically do every standardized feature like threads, helix machining and standard milling paths with these macros. We call them "under programs" as sometimes they are a program within the program. Nice explanation!
@@kw2519 In general-purpose programming languages (the kind of languages we use to make most computer programs like for example the software on your cnc machine) they're generally referred to as functions or methods, I think some older languages refer to them as subroutines. That is of course if I understand correctly what a macro is in this context, he never really said anything about what macros actually are and I haven't written any G-code in the last 15 years.
The macros he is talking about are different than a standard gcode subprogram. Pretty sure he is using fanuc maco b. Quick example of what you can do: N1 (line number 1) #500=#500+1 (set variable #500 to its value plus 1) IF[#500LT100]GOTO1 (if variable #500 is less than 100, jump to line number 1) M30 So this would loop 100 times from line number 1 to the if statement then end.
@@Chris-du7hi So you're saying macros are language constructs like ifs and gotos, as opposed to regular G codes? Interesting, I didn't know you could do that but I also always wondered why not. This is basically just regular computer programming. It's more primitive than what you'd see in a language like Java or C# but essentially the same thing. Thanks for elaborating
I'd love to learn more about macro's. I've recently started to teach myself and implement it in my workshop with great results but I know I am barely scratching the surface of macro programming and I'm struggling to find more detailed information on this.

Loops and macros used to be all we had for repetitive programming. Same as 3pL. When was the last time you wrote a loop or subroutine for a wonky peck drill cycle? Or used an algebraic expression as a variable to define a spline? Sometimes I think the Cad:Cam has made us less imaginative. I miss the creativity of hand coding, but in reality we don’t have the luxury of the extra time to write creative programs when the cad is so much faster, usually anyway.
Macro programming is my favorite, and i agree that is the essential for swiss type machining! It is so powerful so i didnt use CAM anymore, for me it's just easier and faster than a CAM..
Absolutely is I use Macro programming every chance I get. I would love to see that program. Then I wouldn't have to clamp one end of the part with the sub and sync main and sub to machine a long thread in case the bar is not supported by the guide bushing enough to eliminate taper in the thread.
Impressive! For it to pick up a thread that fast and it gage's out nicely.. love it, sweet technique! Perfect, 🤔 I personally can see the thread starts at each start point when the part is turning (light shows a lot of little details like runout and small imperfections). Can any of you? In my mind, definitely still a perfect part.. 🤘 Keep it up guys!
Oh yeah praise macros! We got lots of parts with the same shape but different sizes. I just need to change few variables and the rest of the program basically writes itself. An enormous improvement over having to rewrite every value by hand before xd
The Call Polymechanic in Swiss or CNC Fraser and Dreser , in English is milling , people in Switzerland learn 4 years or 3 years or 2 years it depends your school grade but after that with a experience minimum 5 years you will be able to become expert . But to land a job it’s instantly after you finish . Because all ready you go to school Two Days and work for 3 Days as an apprentice.
How do you pick up the tread? Do you calculate where it ended? Or is is it just starting and finishing on the same place so then you move the coordinate system take out the part and continue where you left off?
Using a G32-G33???? It's the only way I can think of to engage the encoder. I'm gonna have to try this I have plenty of experience with basic macros but this looks like a fun project really melt my brain.. love it
Hey there! This is cool! I work on STAR Swiss machines and do some macro programs. Please make more videos on macro programming! Did you do this manually or did you use a software to post your macro programming. Thanks!
All programmed manually. A macro like the one shown requires a lot of practice before attempting. I’d recommend something simpler like learning WHILE statements first
Hello titans, amazing video, I'm from Mexico, I'm new to Swiss lathes and it would be great if you could give me these tips, on how to use that code in that way (example G33), and on macros, this video got me called a lot. attention, if I would like more information about macros
Yes and no. There are some machine specific G codes and m codes. For the most part though they are the same. G0 is a rapid move. While G1 is a feed move. Those are pretty standard across almost every type of machine. Mills and lathes though can use the same G & M codes to mean different things though. Some codes don't apply across machine types. The most obvious is a tool length offset code on a mill doesn't really apply on a lathe.

Macro programming can be extremely effective in many situations. I used them alot in tool life alerts or a stop check for sizes after so many parts.
The best of both worlds, assembly line and machining
