Drill Dwell

[Linwood]

I'm trying to do a normal Peck Drill, but when it reaches the bottom, I want it to dwell for a few seconds, which is what the "Dwell:" setting says it does, but no matter what I enter in that box it doesn't change anything. I've put 0.5, 5.0, 500.0, 5000.0 - no value in that box changes anything, even when I post the program and look @ it in the CIMCO editor, it is the same no matter the value I put in the dwell box, is there another setting I'm missing to "enable" the dwell feature?

 

(I have a VF-3 HAAS)

Hello Linwood,

Welcome to the Forum

 

Im guessing that your using a canned drill cycle for peck drilling. Is it

G83

G73

What cycle? Typically peck cycles do NOT include a dwell. Bore, Tap, and Spot usually do.

You need a P in your program for a dwell

 

( 1/8 C'BORE TOOL - 4 DIA. OFF. - 4 LEN. - 4 DIA. - .2656 )

( C'BORE 1 HOLE )

Note the P1. the G83 line above. I have a Hass also and had to work on the pst file to get it to dwell if I remember right. I'll try and help as soon as I can but I'm kind of busy right now.

Open you pst file and search for dwell with your editor.

Hi Linwood,

 

Make sure to backup your post file before opening that file!!!!!!

If you have not touched a post before be very carefull.

I don't think you want a dwell on the G83 (peck cycle), but on G81 instead.

 

Just thought I throw this out there . . .

Could your machine require 1000 rather than 1.0 (millisecond units no decimal) for a 1 second dwell?

Haas can't have a decimal point. a one second pause would be entered in as 1000.
