Does anybody else still use raw G code for programming CNC’s?
A couple of the machines I work with have Siemens 840’s on them and others have 32iT fanuc controls and I hate wissywig interfaces.
Sure there are times that 4+ axis needs a good cad-cam system but on a 2 axis lathe?
Are new people to engineering not being taught on-machine programming anymore?
Older green screen fanucs still show modals and next commands, if folks can’t read them how do they know what the machine is going to do next.
Maybe I’m just old and don’t like some of the new changes…
Cheers
