This book demystifies this simple yet sophisticated programming tool in an easy-to-understand tutorial format, and presents a comprehensive how-to of parametric programming from a user’s point of view. Focusing on three of the most popular versions of parametric programming—Fanuc’s custom macro B, Okuma’s user task 2, and Fadal’s macro—the book describes what parametric programming is, what it can do, and how it does it more efficiently than manual programming. Along with a host of program-simplifying techniques included in the book, you’re treated to descriptions of how to write, set-up and run general subprograms; simulate the addition of control options; and integrate higher level programming capabilities at G-code level.
