You-Ji VTL need R to be 0 on all canned cycles


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

We have a You-Ji vertical lathe and for some reason all of it's canned cycles G83, G81 and so on use a incremental R value.. So the R has to be smaller then the Z retract height before it.. But they said the R can be 0 and it will work fine and it just read the Z retract before it... So basically I just need to change the post to always post 0 on the R values with all canned cycles... Where in the post do I change this...?

 

 

This is how it post now..

Hello Darin,

 

find the prdrlout post bloc in you post

 

prdrlout	 #R drill position
 if absinc$ = zero, refht_a, !refht_i
 else, refht_i, !refht_a

 

and change it to this:

prdrlout	 #R drill position
 refht_i = 0.
 refht_a = 0.
 if absinc$ = zero, refht_a, !refht_i
 else, refht_i, !refht_a

 

I have not tested it but I am pretty sure it would work.

 

PS: make a backup copy of your post before any modifications.
