drill problems for 2100

[timco]

I have been working on this all day tring to figure out what i need to change. I have been tring to learn how to work on our post i have learned alot but there is alot to learn. I have gotten alot of great help off this site. The problem that i have now is in my drill cycle for a 2100 control.The standard Mcam post puts out a line of (G81 Z-1. R.1 W2. F20.0) This is a clearance of 2.0 rapid plane of .1 Z depth of z-1.0,What I need is a line of (G81 Z-1.1 R.1 W2.0 F20.0) The machine reads the Z as an incremental move from the rapid plane. I have my W2.0 figured out I needed on every line as it is non-modal in my machine.

Oh yeah another handy thing about vickers you have to put the W out on every drill cycle position except the last one.

There's a dialed in A2100 post available from this site. You need to have your reseller request it.

BTW you can set up Z as absolute at control if go to drilling cycle parameter table , HOLE_DEPTH=2
