Heid426 Tapping

[KevinV_MEI]

Tried writing both iso and conversational programs to no avail.

Conv.
BEGIN PGM 1 INCH
TOOL CALL 5 Z S300
L R F M06
G53 P01+1
L X+11.6877 Y+.7716 R F MAX M03
CYCL DEF 2.0 TAPPING
CYCL DEF 2.1 SET UP -0.1
CYCL DEF 2.2 DEPTH -0.875
CYCL DEF 2.3 DWELL 0.
CYCL DEF 2.4 476
L X-8.398 Y-5.8988 R0 F MAX M03

Getting an error at cycl def 2.4. feed rate. Changed it to several values from 476(0.0625 pitch per inch X 25.4 x 300 rpm) Just struck me, maybe it needs to be;
CYCL DEF 2.4 FEED)476 Edit; I edited the program adding FEED, same results/error.


Or ISO
;
N1 G00 G90 Z0. M91
; 3/8-16 TAPRH
N2 T5 G17 S713
N3 M06
N4 G53 P01+1
N5 G00 G90 G40 X-8.398 Y-5.8988 M03
N6 G84 P01 .125 P02 -.875 P03 0 P04 1131.8875
N7 Z+2 M08
N8 Z+0 M99

Error on N6. No other feedback. Could be decimal in feed rate? Edit; fiddled with speed and feed to get a close even numbers with same error.

Anyone have working code in either iso or conv for rigid tapping I can compare to what I'm doing to get some headway on this?

Kevin.

[gus]

why is there a G in your conversational?

are you programming through cam?

i am not at work, but cycle looks wrong

no cycle call

if you are rigid tapping, you need to use rigid tapping, no 'feedrate'

[kjtdouglas]

As Gus said the cycle is wrong. I am not at work either but I think its Cycle 17


BEGIN PGM 1 INCH
TOOL CALL 5 Z S300
M06
CYCL DEF 17.0 RIGIDTAPPING
CYCL DEF 17.1 SET UP+0.1
CYCL DEF 2.2 DEPTH-0.875
CYCL DEF 2.3 F0.0625
L X+11.6877 Y+.7716 R0 F MAX M03
Z+0.1 FMAX M99
L X-8.398 Y-5.8988 F MAX M99

I think thats about right

[KevinV_MEI]

Thanks guys. Yes the conversational was wrong. I did get it to work in iso. Have to edit programs by hand but the following line works great,
G85 P01(start above datum value) P02(depth from datum, incremental) P03+(pitch in decimal inch)

or

G85 P01+0.1 P02-1.0 P03+0.0625

Once I started typing G85 instead of G84 on the controller the help dialog box/graphics popped with all of the correct parameters and there proper syntax. This controller is so advanced. Wish i had time for formal training.

I don't remember how close your controller is to mine. Maybe this will work on yours.

Thanks Don, I'll give it a try over the weekend.

[greg b]

Im pretty sure it goes like this Cyle Def 2.4 F 476 regards Greg.

[Bwana Don]

It's in conversational so it's easy to check. Start programming it by hand at the machine and the controller will tell you what it needs.

They are all probably a little different.
