Post Help

I am programming a Matsuura with an Yasnak I-80 control the machine has rigid tapping and the programmed feed rate is the pitch of the thread. This being the case I need 4 places on the decimal for tapping. I would like to have the other operations work to only 2 places. How do I acomplish this.

 

Hope someone can help.

Thanks.

Go into ptap and change the format statement for feed like I did here:

 

ptap #Canned Tap Cycle

pdrlcommonb

result = newfs(12, feed) # Set for tapping Feedrate format [was 17] (cdm)

pcan1, pbld, n, sgdrlref, *sgdrill, pxout, pyout, pfzout, pcout,

prdrlout, *feed, *speed, strcantext, e

pcom_movea

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

 

This came from the MPMASTER post. Is this variable used in the yasnac post as well? Just wondering if this switch could be used instead of changing your ptap cycle

This format statement is already in the V9.1 Yasnac post, they just have the wrong format listed

I know it DOES work; I have it that way in my Yasnac MX3 post. I'm just trying to make a bit of a point with the "I'll ask a question, get an answer in 10 minutes, and never be back again" deal.
