Heidenhain programing help

[lazerracing]

I reciently aquired a bridgeport Interact with a heidenhain 151 control. After downloading the manual from heidenhain I have been able to write programs in "plain language format" . However there are a few questions that I wish someone can address .
1.What is the command in heidenhain for G17 G18 G19 ?
(coordinate system rotation) . I cannot acheive this in heidenhain
2.When I insert a canned cycle and run it in PROGRAM FULL-SEQUENCE it stops at the start of
the canned cycle. If I run it in SINGLE BLOCK it skips
over the command and jumps to the end of the program,in PROGRAM EDITING it will not let me into the canned cycle.

suggestions?

Hello,
#1: in programming and editing: Cycle Def> GOTO>10>enter (or you can use the arrowkeys to scroll the list which appears after pushing Cycle def) > set the desired value, increment or absolute.
This remains in effect until the end of the program (M02 or M30) or if you program Cycle def> GOTO 10 and set 0,0 or something else.
I don´t know how it is in 151, but in 355 you could set th basic rotatin in manual mode too, by pushing "Touch probe"> rot and set the value and exit by pushing "end". This remains in effect allways until you change it.
These all rotates the cordinatesystem around X0,0 and Y0,0.
#2: Have you programmed cycle call ( or M99) after defining the cycle? You must also position the tool in the position where you want to make the pocket or drilling :

L Z+50 R0 F9999 M13
Cycle def......

L X0,000 Y 50,000 R0 F9999
L Z+2,000 F9999
Cycle Call (or M99 in the previous line)
L Y-50,000 F9999 M99( or cycle call in the next line)
L Z50,000 F 9999 M30

The Z-height (for example +2) must be the same you have defined in the cycle as "save hight".
You cannot edit the program which you are running, it must be stopped first.

You can programme a 151 in G code if you wish.A keypad overlay is available for doing this.If you look at the back of one of the manuals it shows which buttons are which.I can`t remember if there is a parameter to change or not.

I think there is a section in the manual on dealing with cycles, read through it because that is one of the more powerful features. you will find the syntax on various cycles is the same.

on my 145 after you hit cycle def and insert info you have to call the cycle. or it will do exactly what your describing. maybe yours is the same. my 2 cents Dar
