Try this exact format, edit your feed rate to match the lead/pitch of the tap. That is what we use on our O-M because it works. I had to edit my post to output the feed in I.P.R.(g95).

This is exactly what our O-M requires. I tweaked my MPMASTER post to output exactly that. % (RIGID TAPPING) N1G20G40G80G90 T9M6 G0G54X1.Y1. G43H39Z2.0M8 G95 M29S250 G98G84Z-.5R.1F.0417 G80M9 G94 G91G28Z0 M30 %

Ok, thanks for everyones input, it's working good now.

Thanks David, i'll check when i get a chance.

I once adjusted the default tolerances, then my chains stopped working. Seriously. I ended up resetting to default. Delete duplicate entities, xform project lines to flat plane, zoom in and trim. These three tasks are standard practice. Mine is set Chaining tolerance:.0001 and Planar chaining tolerance:.002

I'd go with the config settings 'for now'.

Hello everyone, Anybody know how to get the initial 'X,Y' moves back onto the S____ line? (Control Def. is set properly for XY, then Z). (We previously adjusted for Fanuc style tapping).

Je pense que c'est plutot un cas de trop de RPM's ou un outil avec un rayon proche a la meme rayon dans le coin de votre projet. Je pense que ci vous cherche 'feedrate reduction in corners' sur cette 'forum/search' vous trouvera quel que chose.

Ok, i sorted out the error file. Still don't know why post processor is initiallizing from metric to inch tolerances during processing.

Hello, One of my posts always outputs an error file when i post. I have a very similar post for another machine, which does not make the error. Aswell, both these posts initialize from metric tolerances to inch while post processing. My setting in Config. are on English, default, start-up.

Thanks to everyone who had the time to read or contribute to this topic, the code is minty. Curt.

I had a similar problem on. Pocket remachine is not supposed to work with an open pocket type. But it did work, when the pocket had two 'corners'. When i would add a third corner it would not regen, and i think it was ending my session.

Roger Martin, That's pretty close to what i need, however, the M03 should not be there. ************************* T2 M06 ( 5/16-24 TAPRH) (MAX - Z.1) (MIN - Z-1.) M08 G00 G90 G54 M03 G43 H32 Z.1 T1 G95 M29 S855 G99 G84 Z-1. R.1 F.0417 G80 G94 ***************************

"Code looks good to me. Why do you want to remove the first spindle comand?" I have two different posts which each output this double spindle command. Neither of my samples from the manuals do not have the first S____ and M03. I understand the command is controlled from a 'common blocks area'. I have not found a switch to turn it off. Any suggestions?

Man, you guys are good. Thanks again.

Ok, thanks members, i'll try it later today.

Hello, I'm think i need to activate 'tapflag' so that my code will have a 'G95' before and a 'G94' after the tapping cycle. Where , if necessary do i make the change? Thanks in advance.

Thanks to all for the help. My code is perfect now! HA! Regards, Curt.

quote: "I assumed that you were just trying to get the Feedrate value you entered on the toolpath parameter to output in the correct format." My toolpath parameters page says speed 534 and feed 26.74. I'd like to see the G88 tap cycle output F.0500 instead of F26.74 for the 1/2-20 tap. Solutions #2 outputs no F address or value at all in the program. Solution #1 output the F address, still in IPM. I hope this clarifies matters. Regards.

The first solution behaved the same as the original. The second solution had the feed missing all together from the canned cycle. Any more suggestions?

Forum, I need to have my tapping cycle(g88) post in inches/rev. I searched the topic but did not find much of anything for this 'Centurion5' controller. # Canned Tap Cycle n$, *sgdrill, pg9899, *x$, *y$, *depth$, *refht$, *dwell$, *frplunge$,e$ I am working with X,MR2. Regards.

First time for everything, including a topic search. Sorry 'bout that.

Tooling rep says to plunge full z depth in one shot. Training book shows pecking with a overlap spiral pattern and depth passes. I'm using MCX.

thanks
