Highspeed drilling head

[pmh]

Q: How do I get the machine to perform a drill cycle with the spindle off?

 

I am attempting a drilling cycle with a high speed attachment head on a haas machine. The problem is that the machine spindle "cannot" spin while the HSH is in. The progam will not run without a value in Speed (S). I have tried different combinations of M5, and M3 with different spindle speeds. No luck.

can you treat it like broaching and use a M19 to lock the spindle?

 

welcome to the forum!

Did you try a speed (S100) and delete the M3 ??

What kind of machine ??

Dont use a drill cycle, and make a contour path following a line straight down?

 

Or make a bunch a little longer each time to peck?

 

Or a quick macro to control the ups and downs, and resets at a certain depth?

there should be an mcode to feed without spindle rotation

Set "can-peck" in the post to "no" to output longhand.

I know this is an old thread... searching for a solution today on this exact topic and stumble on this thread. solution I found for anyone in the same boat was to change offending parameter. best way is to contact machine manufacture (in my case Hermle USA). Worked like a hot damn. hope it helps.

Also might have been able to get away with a point toolpath, turn the spindle speed to 0

I guess you can. This way tho, you can program as usual and use a regular drilling cycles. Makes life a hell of a lot easier!
