Canned drill cycle wont output Q

[Grafdude]

Hi all!

I'm trying to get my post to ouput depth of cut on a canned drill cycle, I've not been successful in doing so.

 

Here's my postblock for my canned drilling cycle:

ldrill$          #Canned drill cycle, lathe
      #Use this postblock to customize lathe drilling cycles 0 - 7
      pdrlcommonb
      pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgdrlref, pgdrlout, pxout, pyout, pzout,
      prdrlout, dwell$, pffr, strcantext, e$
      pcom_movea
      pcanceldcl

 This is the result code:

G98 G83 Z-.052 R.1 F.01

You aren't getting the proper output because you don't have the variable for the peck amount.

The required variable used to be peck1 .

_{Thank you! that did it, How can I get the depth to be outputted in tenths? For example, .100" would be Q1000.}

Look for these lines:
fs2 16  0 4 0 3t    #No decimal, absolute, 4 trailing

fmt  "Q" 16  peck1$     #First peck increment (positive)

 

 

I would create a new fs2 so that nothing else is effected.

 

 

fs2 xx  0 5 0 4t    #No decimal, absolute, 5 trailing               add this line, use the next available number in your fs2 definitions for xx

 

fmt  "Q" xx  peck1$     #First peck increment (positive)        change your peck1 format,  xx to match the xx number assigned in your format statements

Thank you bd41612, that did the trick! Right now my post outputs feed on my peck drill cycle in inch per rev, I need them to be in inch per minute, any ideas?

ipr_actv$ = 0

 

Add this into the beginning your peck drilling post block for IPM.  1 is for IPR.

 

mpeck$         #Canned peck drill cycle, mill

      ipr_actv$ = 0
      pdrlcommonb
      pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgdrlref, pgdrlout, pxout, pyout, pzout,
        pcout, pindexdrl, prdrlout, *peck1$, dwell$, pfr, strcantext, e$   #pfclampon,
      pcom_movea

That's actually controlled by the operation parameter itself.

You can force it in the post to be either way but I would check your op data.
