canned drill cycle

[wildcat99]

On a Quintax router with xxxxor 8055M control it gives me an unrecognized coordinates error for drilling cycles.

 

It doesn't like the R in the first line below.

Is there a setting in Mcam or do I need to tweak the post?

 

N690 G81 G99 Z-1.3783 R3. F30.

Thanks for your help!

isnt that your retract height between holes?

!st, let me say I've never worked on a router, just mills so keep this in mind....

 

1st: You don't change the post until you know what the correct code for your machine is. So let's do that 1st. Get code that works then look at changing the post to match.

 

Is your the top of the hole at Z0?

 

What is your clearance height, i.e. when your tool comes down and picks up the length offset, i.e. G43 Hxx Z1.

What are you using for Z on that line?

 

Is the R higher than that Z?

 

If so, that is probably why you are getting an alarm.

 

Also, G99 means retract to the R-plane specified in your canned cycle.

 

Why don't you try

 

G43 Hxx Z3.

G81 G98 Z-1.3783 R.05 F30.

 

That will retract up to 3. above the part.

If you use G99 then it would retract .05 above.

I edited the program and this works:

G81 G99 Z3. I-1.3783 F30.

 

Z is the reference plane and I is the depth.

 

Now I just need to get it to post that way.

[Scott Garrison@Weiler Engineering]

That shouldn't be to difficult, why don't you call your reseller and get them to do it. If not, I probably can get you though it or you can email me the post.

 

Is that post for a router? It doesn't seem like it.

Thanks, our reseller is working on the post.
