[Bill Shields]

i recognize it FWIW

digging through my files. I find an old post processor that does much of what you want. it is from an Acromat 950, but the code should work.

roughing cycle is (BAR, - like fanuc G71/G72
Pattern shift is (CPY, like like fanuc G73

Then:

H1, C1,

cutting depth, x stock remaining, zstock remaining, Xstarting point, Z starting point)
define the contour

Threading is '(THD,

(ENC) to end the contour for all cases.

If you cannot find someone with a manual, I can generate some sample code and send you an example file, from which you should be able to work backwards to a usable manual for these.

Okay, that already looks promising, tomorrow I will test it to see if it works, and I will give you an opinion, if it is not too much trouble, if you can send me the example, because we use the machines in diameter and millimeters, and generally the programs of them comes in inches and radius ..

hopefully it works, thank you

Is this what you are looking for in a manual?

The manual we have there is very similar to this one, but I have not remembered if the version is the same, tomorrow I will get a look at it, but I believe it is the same.
thank you anyway.

If you have a manual...are there examples in it?

JonMac, your first post says you don't have a manual....but your last post you say you do....
You can work either inch or mm, selected on the panel. If I remember correctly it is a diameter only machine.
Good luck.

good morning I tried to do as she told me, but it generates alarm

"THIS WORD ALREDY PRESENT"

The manual that came with it is useless, it's not the same version, it seems that it was changed a long time ago

I was going to suggest you try Cincinnati Milicron for the manual but then discovered they were sold and sold again and may be owned by a conglomerate called Maxcor.
Maybe the Cincinnati Public Library has a manual. I was at the factory in '85 or so learning programming for the T-10 Mill and they had a large historical section and model of an early machine shop. Very cool to see all the belt driven machines.
When I was at Teledyne Oster in Cleveland we had a CM lathe with an Acromatic 950 controller, but the manuals, lathe etc went when the shop was moved to Maryland.
This may be a silly suggestion but have you tried: https://ozarktoolmanuals.com/
This company had manuals for a couple of my machine tools that were very old and I couldn't find them anywhere else.

Hello Bob. I looked for the book we have here and I didn't find it, the maintenance people took it and they don't know where it is, but I believe it is different from the one you sent me. Because I think this manual was changed for some reason, and when I tried to use it, nothing worked

I found an example in another forum, but it has no specific , does not show what "H, C, D" is for ... And now it generates the alarm: WRONG TOOL TYPE

[Bob D.]

H,C,D meanings are in relation to what word they are in conjunction with.
Example, drilling operation, DRIII, H value is the diameter of the hole and drill and D value is depth of finished hole.
Wrong tool type, The tool type of the specified tool is not suitable for the process. Correct the tool type in the toolholder table or change the program to specify the right type of tool.
Take a pic of the entire operator panel. The 850 controls we had were monochromatic screens not color like yours and didn't have a keypad like what I can see in your pic.

[Bill Shields]

Actually not for these cycles. H1 or C1 are used to define the motion type..horizontal or facial.

I will create an example when I have time ..this is not a 10 minute job

It's very confusing, I'm used to Fanuc and Fagor ...
I already changed the tool towers and the alarm continues

Here is the panel:
