I'd recommend contacting your Reseller for support. There is a C-Hook available for download on the Mastercam website called "Thread C". I only see the versions available for download for X7 though. I'm not sure if they have it available for X8 or X9.

 

The "Thread C" Chook will let you perform threading on a "Contour". I believe it is setup to output G32 style threading output. I'm not sure if it will do G76 style threading.

 

Being that this is for a Siemens control, I'm not sure what type of threading cycle output they use or need. If you can find an example of the output, I'm sure a post processor could be modified to support this output. (I think the X7 version of MPLMaster is configured to work with the Thread C Chook...)

 

Hope that helps,

 

Colin

I don't think a G76 could do that. I have done this many times on an Okuma with G34 with just the thread callout of multi-start threads followed by linear or radiused contours. Okumas rule!
