What are the mi or mr process?

are the in the post?

thanks

Before i changed toolno = t$ * 100 + tloffno$ to toolno = t$ * 100 + t$

it would post T0900 instead of T09?? the last 2 digits are for the tool length.

It would index to tool 9 but would have zero tool length offset

toolno = t$ * 100 + t$ works if i want the same tool & length number, but some times i might need T0919

is it possible to use toolno = t$ * 100 + ( Len. offset) ?

on the #tool change mill it was

toolno = t$ * 100 + tolffno$ but on my c-axis face drill the Dia offset is 0 and greyed out.

i changed it to

toolno = t$ * 100 + t$

then it posted T0909

is there any way to get dia offset un-greyed?

Thanks

I couldn't figure out the above solution.

I put " sg98 " into the canned drill cycle below and i seemed to work.

mdrill$ #Canned drill cycle, mill

pdrlcommonb

pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgdrlref, pgdrlout, sg98, pxout, pyout, pzout,

pcout, prdrlout, dwell$, pffr, strcantext, e$

My reseller said - without looking at the entire I can't say if there are anger conflicts but it looks good.

what are anger conflicts?

When I use canned drill cycle it outputs T0900 when i need T0909

the reseller said I needed to edit a math equation in the post

would it be something like- toolno = t$ * 100 + zero

Thanks

I have a fanuc 18i control and using- GENERIC FANUC 4X MT_LATHE.pst

when i use C axis face drill the post outputs the feed in IPM and I need IPR

also my "Dia offset 0" box is greyed in C-axis face drill out so when it post i get T0900 in stead of T0909

hello

I replaced my, ptap$ #Canned Tap Cycle

with

ptap$ #Canned Tap Cycle

pdrlcommonb

result = newfs(17, feed) # Set for tapping Feedrate format

if met_tool$,

[

if toolismetric, pitch = n_tap_thds$ #Metric NC Code - Metric Tap

else, pitch = (1/n_tap_thds$) * 25.4 #Metric NC Code - English Tap

]

else,

[

if toolismetric, pitch = n_tap_thds$ * (1/25.4) #English NC Code - Metric Tap

else, pitch = 1/n_tap_thds$ #English NC Code - English Tap

]

pitch = pitch * speed #Force Units Per Minute for regular Tap cycle

I can't find use_pitch in my post

I couldn't fine the switch " pitch_tap " in my post .

is it possible to create a formula ( *feed / *speed ) = ipr

Hello I have a Medlas m3 control (Mitsubishi). On my post i need to output feed in Inches per revolution

ptap$ #Canned Tap Cycle

"M05", e$

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

prdrlout, *feed, *speed, strcantext, e$

pcom_movea

I added the ( "m05", e$ ) line to stop the spindle which works

but I need to change the feed form F44.57 to F.0625 (3/8-16 tap)

I am using a different machine def for each machine. I would have to rotate drawing 180 deg to machine the same side of a part in the opposite chuck . The problem i just had was on the left chuck machine, I had the stock defined, I had on lathe finish Home position (user defined) d10. z10., boring bar home d14.0 z8.0, Left upper all approaches and retracts at X.1 , machine default home x10. y5.0, and on Control def I had Tool Lathe , get position (home) from machine def.

when the boring bar was done it retracted to z-.3512 and then straight up!

then when i changed Lathe finish properties to home position -From Machine it retracts to z..03

if i change it back to Lathe finish properties- home position - user defined - it retracts to z.03 still???

I don't trust it at all

I could default Lathe finish properties to check Ref Box and default retract x0, then remember to hit "From Machine" inside the Fef point box, which would but in x+.1 or x-.1 depending on left or right chuck.

that way if i forgot the boring bars would retract to z0 at least.

hope MC fixes this - 5 different places to put home position in- it could be simpler and safer!

I'm trying to get my boring bar to retract before going straight up (home).

I have 3 lathes with left chucks and 1 with a right chuck.

Have tried defining stock and setting ref points and that works MOST!! of the time.

Is there any way to get the right chuck lathe to load a different operation default file automatically?

Then I could have the ref point box checked and have approach and retract set to Z.1. every time I open a lathe opp. Then it wouldn't matter if i forgot to define the material or X7 decides it doesn't feel like it want's to retract .

Thanks

Pete

I found this change dia_mult from 2 to -2 in the post

I am still trying to approch the part z first then x

any one?
