O/T Vericut help please.

[Tinhman]

Hello guys,

I know, we have alot of vericut user here.

Please help me fix this one.

Code

******************** TOOLPATH WARNING REPORT ********************

Warning for line 77

G98 G82 Z-.26 R.1 P1000 F11.

P 1000 is not configured in this control

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do not want my machine to ignore it. I would like my machine add this dwell time in part cycle time as well.

 

Second question:

Is there any way i can set up vericut to detect the oversize hole before tap???

 

i am using V7.0.3

Thanks in advance

Go to configuartion Dropdown and click Word/Address.

 

Open up Registers

 

Open up P*

 

You should have a (G73 74 76 81-89 84.2 84.3)

 

If you do open

 

You should have a macro called Dwelltime with a value=$/1000

 

Post what you have and we can go from there.

 

 

Edit:

 

If you don't have what's above you may have a (CYCLE ON) and using the Macro CycleDwellTime.

Thanks for the reply guys.

I will give it a try.

I got it working ( no more error for P1000) but i did not see anytime added up in part cycle time as it should. I tried the dwelltime with value of 1000, $/1000. Am i missing something??

[Tim Johnson]

You should only have $/1000 in the Overide value. The $ will be the P value in your G82 cycle (P1000). Try editing the program to a G81 cycle, run it and compare it to the time of the G82 cycle.

I tried dwelltime with the value 1000 and then $/1000 but did not see any different ( the cycle time still stay exact the same). i dont think "P1000" will work with "G81".

Thanks for your help and happy friday.

[Tim Johnson]

I meant to edit the program to a G81 and also remove the P1000 then rerun and compare the times with the G82 program. There should be a 1 second difference for every program edited non-dwelled hole.

Thanks Tim,

Even with the help from vericut forum, i was still not be able to make the vericut add up the dwelltime in the part cycle time. But i have to move on because we are very busy right now.

I will be back in this topic when i have more time and more experience with vericut ( we just had vericut about 3 or 4 weeks)

Thank you for your help and have a nice weekend.
