Hello everyone, I am using 2018 and when I create a face groove tool I would like the add the tools back clearance. Is this possible in 2018 or is it something I will have to wait until 2019 for?

I gave that a whirl, but still cannot find the correct place to put that. It is either placing the G80 at the top of the sequence or after every line in the sequence. Edit: Got it to work by adding a "G80" line here: #Write the cycle profile, sequence are written now rc3 = one while rc3 <= size3, [ #Write the lathe canned cycle profile string3 = rbuf (three, rc3) if rc3 = two, [ #Add the finish spindle speed to the first move speed = n1_ss pbld, *string3, *speed, e$ ] else, [ if omitseq$ = one & rc3 = size3 + one, pbld, *string3, e$ else, pbld, *string3, e$ ] ] pbld, "G80", e$ #Close the buffer result = fclose (three) #Remove the ext file result = remove (sbufname3$) ]

The base is the generic fanuc, but I have already modified a lot of it to output what I need. I basically just need to figure out the LAP cycles then it will be done.

Hey guys I have another one. I am trying to add a G80 to the end of my G85 (G71 in Fanuc land) Canned cycle. For the life of me I am unable to find out where to place the code. I contacted my reseller who told me to put it on the ng70s, ng70e line under pread_g70. That does not work. This is what I am currently outputting: (***************************************************) NS1(TOOL - 7 OFFSET - 7) (CHAMBER OD FINISH INSERT - VCMT-331-SM) G0 TG=7 OG=1 G97 S2339 M03 G0 G54 X.98 Z0.

That worked great thank you very much.

Hello everyone, I am currently making a post for some OSP-200LA lathes that we have here. I have been able to get the post to output all of the necessary code, the only problem is for some of the output formats I cannot get it to post a decimal. I have tried to change the output number to one that I created and it still will not work. Here is the fs Statements: # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Format statements - n=nonmodal, l=leading, t=trailing, i=inc, d=delta # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- #Default english/metric position format statements fs2 1 0.7 0.6 #Decimal, absolute, 7 place, default for initialize ( fs2 2 0.4 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place fs2 3 0.4 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 4/3 place #Common format statements fs2 4 1 0 1 0 #Integer, not leading fs2 5 2 0 2 0l #Integer, force two leading fs2 6 3 0 3 0l #Integer, force three leading fs2 7 4 0 4 0l #Integer, force four leading fs2 9 0.1 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 1 place fs2 10 0.2 0.2 #Decimal, absolute, 2 place fs2 11 0.3 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 3 place fs2 12 0.4 0.4 #Decimal, absolute, 4 place fs2 13 0.5 0.5 #Decimal, absolute, 5 place fs2 14 0.3 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 3 place fs2 15 0.2 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 2/1 place fs2 16 0 4 0 4t #No decimal, absolute, 4 trailing #Default english/metric feed format statements fs2 17 0.2 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 2/1 place fs2 18 0.4 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place fs2 19 0.5 0.4 #Decimal, absolute, 5/4 place fs2 20 1 0 1 0n #Integer, forced output # These formats used for 'Date' & 'Time' fs2 21 2.2 2.2lt #Decimal, force two leading & two trailing (time2) fs2 22 2 0 2 0t #Integer, force trailing (hour) fs2 23 0 2 0 2lt #Integer, force leading & trailing (min) # This format statement is used for sequence number output # Number of places output is determined by value for "Increment Sequence Number" in CD # Max depth to the right of the decimal point is set in the fs statement below fs2 24 0^7 0^7 #Decimal, 7 place, omit decimal if integer value #Canned Thread Cycle Output fs2 25 0.4 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place Here is the thread output: # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Thread output # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- fmt "H" 25 thddepth$ #Thread height absolute fmt "D" 25 thdfirst$ #First depth cut in thread fmt "Q" 2 thdlast$ #Last depth cut in thread fmt "U" 25 thdfinish$ #G76 thread finish allowance fmt 3 thdrdlt #Thread R delta G92 and G76 fmt 3 thd_dirx #Incremental X move for G76 mult starts fmt "K" 3 thd_dirz #Incremental Z move for G76 mult starts fmt "P" 5 nspring$ #Number of spring cuts fmt 5 thdpull #G76 thread pull off fmt "B" 25 thdang #G76 threading angle Here is the G71 Threading Code: pg76$ #G71 threading comment$ gcode$ = zero lrapid$ sav_xa = vequ(copy_x) if thdface$ = zero, copy_x = thdx3$ else, copy_z = thdx3$ if thdface$ = zero, copy_z = thdz2$ else, copy_x = thdz2$ pcom_moveb nstart_cnt = zero while nstart_cnt < nstarts$, pg71nstart pcom_movea prv_gcode$ = m_one copy_x = vequ(sav_xa) copy_x = copy_x + (thd_dirx * (nstarts$ - one)) copy_z = copy_z + (thd_dirz * (nstarts$ - one)) pcom_moveb pe_inc_calc !gcode$, !xabs, !yabs, !zabs, !xinc, !yinc, !zinc pg71nstart #G71 threading, for multiple starts pg71 nstart_cnt = nstart_cnt + one if nstarts$ <> one & nstart_cnt <> nstarts$, pbld, n$, *sgcode, thd_dirx, thd_dirz, e$ pg71 #G71 threading new style pbld, n$, *sthdgcode, pfxout, pfzout, pffr, thdang, thdfirst$, thdfinish$, thddepth$, e$ Here is the current output: (TOOL - 8 OFFSET - 8) (CHAMBER THREAD OD INSERT - 16ER A 60) G0 T0808 G97 S1646 M03 G0 G54 X.9116 Z.2145 M8 G71 X.7303 Z-.51 F.0625 B60.

Anyone?

Hi all I do most of the programming for the mills at my shop and a couple of the older Matsuura MC-500Vs which run Yasnac M5 have a canned helix bore cycle which we typically use for thread milling. My question is, is there a way to make a custom drill cycle to emulate this so I don't have to program it by hand? I have been dabbling in post editing and get a good amount of it but I am no so sure about everything, so my apologies if I ask for a little more explanation. Ill post a sample of code with it in use. Thanks for any help. Matt
