Thanks for the suggestions. Our Toyoda just stops at each Q depth, it doesn't reverse. I'm going to try to orient the spindle before each hole and tap each hole twice & see if it doesn't cross thread. - can't think of anything else.
Hi everyone. I need to tap some deep holes in my Toyoda HMC (Fanuc 15M). I know that the machine is capable of peck tapping but I cannot find the g-code in any of the manuals. I use G84.2 to rigid tap RH threads. Do any of you know how to do this? Thanks in advance!
I haven't used any of the high speed toolpaths yet so I've been looking to try it out. I have an application in 304 SS that I would like to try it out in. I have to machine 30 3" holes thru 1" plate.
Do any of you have any experience with HST in 304? Is this a good application for a high speed toolpath? if so, which one?
Thanks a lot in advance. I've been visiting this forum a lot lately and always learn something, so thanks to all of you.
This happens for me in x4 also Dave. I add the machine and delete the original for a work-around. If there's something else I would like to know as well.
Great stuff Colin. I've used the transform stl many times and it works as you said. I never knew about bringing it into the file as lines though. That will save time for sure. I appreciate the tip!
using x4
When I try to save the result of verify as an stl file I get this message:
Fatal error occurred in verify/simulation
Please exit verify & try again with reduced image quality.
At this point it will not save.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this?
In the Komo VMC that we have with an Oi control the tool register is found in the machine diagnostics page.
Diag. #300 - spindle tool
Diag. #301 - pocket 1 tool
Diag. #302 - pocket 2 tool
etc.
hope it helps you. good luck
