Hass Tapping

[KMartin]

Hi Everyone - I need some help with Tapping on a Hass Machine .

Our machine have the ability to hard tap .We machine most tool steels

D2 - 2714 and so on .

Here is the posted code . It doesn't work .I edited the program and removed

G95 and M29 and it still don't work . Also why isn't the feed rate in IPM .

Thanks for any help .

 

 

N100 G00 G17 G20 G40 G80 G90

N110 G91 G28 Z0.

N120 G90 G53 X-20.0 Y0.

N130 T2 M06 ( 1/2-13 TAPRH)

N140 (MAX - Z2.)

N150 (MIN - Z-1.)

N160 G00 G17 G90 G54 X0. Y0.

N170 G43 H207 Z2.

N180 G95

N190 M29 S100

N200 G98 G84 Z-1. R.1 I.1 F.0769

N210 G80

N220 M05

N230 G91 G28 Z0.

N240 G90 G53 X-20.0 Y0.

N250 G90

N260 M30

Well, you definitly need an m03 with your spindle speed. I don't know what L.1 in your drill line is supposed to be. An L0, with no decimal , won't run the drill cycle at the location you call up the drilling cycle, but you only have one hole in your program.

 

Change M29 to M03, change your spindle speed to 130, get rid of the l.1, and change the feed rate to F13. And have your H # match your T#. That should get you going.

 

The Haas manuals are available for download for free on haascnc.com, you might want to get them and read them. They have examples of how the code should look.

duh, feed of 10. Sorry.

It looks like you are using MPMaster post. Just use the generic Haas post that comes with Mastercam and you will be fine.

the feed must be in IPM on a Haas mill.

 

if you want to continue using MPmaster u need to get into the pst file to turn off the g95 method at which point the post will output for haas.

 

BTW canned cycles do not actually need M03 for the haas. if it is not specifically called the spindle will come on automatically. good for MOST applications.

Thanks for the help . My post is from inhouse . We have never tapped on the machine in the past .

I just used G84 tapping in IPM and it worked .

look in the post and make sure this is 0

 

rigid_tap : 0 #0 = Floating tap output, 1 = Rigid tap output (suppress spindle output and output M29)

 

also look for this

 

use_pitch : 0 #0 = Use feed for tapping, 1 = Use pitch for tapping

 

make sure use_pitch is 0 which will output IPM, some Hass's are setup to use pitch
