SURFACE FINISH PARALLEL

[HEAVY METAL]

HI ME AGAIN

I AM STEPPING DOWN A ANGLE OR BEVEL AND I AM USING

SURFACE FINISH PARALLEL. FOR MY LEAD IN/OUT I AM USING THE DIRECTION BUTTON.THE G CODE IS USING THE PLUNGE FEED RATE ON THE X LINEAR LEAD IN MOVE AND OUT THEN PICKS UP LINEAR FEED RATE.IS THERE A WAY TO RAPID TO DEPTH THEN FEED AT PROGRAM FEED FROM START OF LEAD IN.

 

I WORK FOR A JOB SHOP.WE HAVE BEEN SLOW FOR A LONG TIME.JUST CURIOUS HOW BUSINESS IS ELSE WHERE

If using Ver 8, go into operations manager, right click on nci for that operation, then use toolpath editor to edit the feedrate at the point in question.

try a plunge rate of 75 ipm or so
