I am completely lost.

Ron L
My company recently purchased an OPTI 321 running 2018 software. We do not have a touch probe on our machine. It is being used in vision only.

I am not a QC inspector and I've only ever programmed a machine using M codes.

I was sent to the 3 day class and then had 8 more hours of instruction here on our machine. I'm still completely lost.

I have been working on this machine for weeks and have yet to make a program that runs.

I bought the training manual that came with the labs when I took the course but the icons in the manual do not match my machine.

Is there an online tutorital or video that I could watch to walk me through the basics? I need something geared at a user who has NEVER used anything like this before.

Thank you!

  • Thanks for the responses guys.

    Most of our parts are flat plates with holes drilled in them. They SHOULD be very easy parts to program.

    What I did was create a program with my trainer. We ran it and everything worked fine.

    I took the program that I knew worked and tried to manually edit it make a new program. Since all my parts are measured off the same corner with the same alignment I thought I could just edit the numbers and have a new alignment for my new part. This did not work.

    Also I am using a vision only machine. Is it realistic to think that I can write an entire working program just using a DXF file and not an actual part?

    Thanks!
