Thanks for the reply James. But we still have problems.
Here's a bit more of an explaination of what we have tried.
The face of the chuck is part .000. Stock is sticking out 1.750.
Drilling 1.335 deep.
We have tried the following:
G83 Z.415 Q.250 R1.8 F.003
G74 Z.415 Q.250 R1.8 F.003
G74 Z.415 Q.250 R.1 F.003
We get the same error "007" for all of them:
Decimal point "." input error (A decimal point was input after an address with which it cannot be used. Or two decimal points were input.)
The manual does not show a G83 so I'm not sure if it is valid. The best we can find in the manual is G74, which their only example appears to be for breaking a chip for OD turning (G74 X__ Z__ P__ Q__ R__ F__). It also says that "if X and P are not specified, only one operation is made in the Z direction, This motion can be used for deep hole drilling."
Any help will be greatly appreciated. |
