okuma c-axis drill cycles

[kazmir44]

I have an okuma l470m with live tooling. OSP-P100. When I post out drill cycles in milling mode it posts out "G183 Z~ K.1 F~ D~"

I need it to be "G183 C~ X~ Z~ K0. F~ D~"

 

Need it to post out C and X values. And, I need the K to be 0. so it will retract to the ref. position. With the K set at .1 it only retracts to Z0., then indexes the C.

 

It also posts out a different home position in milling mode than in lathe mode.

 

Using version 9.

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks in advance

 

Jake

Hum, I would suggest contacting your dealer they should be able to help you out real quick. Can be done, but you are missing tons of information that your dealer could easily get and help you get fixed.

 

HTH

 

BTW welcome to the forum.

[kazmir44]

I have been trying to modify the mplosp7c post. Which, so far, has turned out better than the one that I got from my reseller.

The post supplied by my reseller does the same thing with the k value. I have been waiting for months for them to get me a post with no issues.

I just don't have the time to sit around and wait.

 

So what kind of information am i missing. I started with the mplosp7c post. Which is a generic okuma post supporting lap3 cycles and c-axis. Shouldn't this post have all of the information necessary?

[crazy^millman]

I would think so. Need to post up that cycle on the screen like so:

as of right now i am using one post to post out the lathe work. and another post to post out the mill work. then i paste the two together.

i am also having issues with the lathe work when using this post. that is why i post the lathe work with a "good post".

in the future i would like to work out the issues with the lathe work on this post. but, right now i just want to fix the mill portion.

 

 

BTW

thanks for taking the time to look this over.

your help is greatly appreciated

When posting up please read this for the future:

Helpful way to post Post Information

 

Do you always want K0 or you want it to be K1 and K0?? Also what you posted up has X and C axis output so a little lost there. Can you do a .Z2G and email it to me I will see what I can do, but not making any promises.

[kazmir44]

Thanks for the info on posting up. I'm trying to break out of "noob" status. I'll be sure to put it to good use.

 

The holes we were drilling on this part were on separate bolt circles. The print was actually dimensioned from hole to hole instead of on bolt circles. If they were all on the same bolt circle there would be no X moves after the G181. Probably not the best example. But it was one of the more recent ones I have done.

 

Well, when the K is set at .1 in the mill drilling cycles, the drill retracts to Z0. instead of to Z.1 before it indexes to the next C position.

 

When the K is set to 0. it will retract to Z.1

 

When cross drilling it posts out an I instead of a K. And it reacts the same way. The I has to be 0. for the drill to retract to the ref. position.

 

Does this seem right to you? Maybe there is something I am doing wrong. I would like to talk to someone using the same type of machine and take a look at the g-code they are using. Maybe my way is not the best way.??? But it does work.

 

Anyway, I'll try to locate a good part file to use as a model and i'll make up a .z2g. Probably won't be until monday.

 

Thanks again,

 

Jake

Well it might be an absolute/incremental setting for the machine and using the drilling cycles 1 is incremental and 0 absolute or could be vise/versa. I am a firm believer if what works works and until someone can show me a better way I do what works for me. When you get your .z2g just send it to my email and we will go from there.

Well, i'm pretty sure I figured out our problem with the K value. We were programming it wrong. It will output what we want if we set the clearance to .1, and the retract to 0. That was an issue of improper training. We were turning the clearance off, and setting the retract to .1, for some reason.??

 

This is the okuma format.

G94 X___ Z1___ T1111 SB=1500

G181 X___ Z___ C___ K___ F___

 

K: Rapid feed from Z1 to K (Z1 - K), and then feed rate follows F___.

 

So if it was G94 X3. Z.1 ........ and a K.1, it would rapid to Z0.

 

Thanks for the help.
