Heidenhain TNC 151 - Run full Sequence help

[MeTri]

Hi All,

I've been playing with my Interact Series 1 Mk 2. I love it. It may not be perfect, but it's done everything I've asked it to do. I've run in to a few quirks, but most are solved now. Not this one...

So I enter a program and I could run in line by line. Then when there is an error I can edit the program and just continue. Or I can go to manual and turn off the spindle, then reload the program ...

If I go to run full sequence and the program starts and then I see a problem what can I do? If I hit the small red button (sequence stop maybe?) the machine pauses but the spindle keeps spinning. I can hit the green one and things start up again. What I want to do is stop the execution. The only way I've been able to do it is with the emergency stop and that sucks. At 500 rpm it's not so bad to here the electric brake stop the motor, but at 4000..... I always pause the program before the emergency stop, but it still has to engage the brake... all I want to do is stop the spindle nicely, edit my program and run it again...

Any one have a solution? If your thinking write better programs... yeah but I still make mistakes... sometimes it's just the repeat is too large and I could stop it at 10 passes not 11...

Thanks

hit the button marked 'stop'

I know, its crazy.....

Yeah I tried that. That just pauses execution. The table stops moving but the spindle keeps spinning.... I hit it lots of times, it just pauses...

Hit the big red button under cycle start. This is not actually a stop, more like pause. Then, hit the button marked "stop" thats in with the programming buttons. I believe its near the cycle def, tool def, etc buttons.

Thanks, I'll try that. Seems like you have to be able to do it... Thanks again.

I'm actually using the machine in ISO mode, not conversational so I have the add-on key pad that attaches magnetically to the TNC control panel. Stop is now "D" so I didn't see that there was a stop button. In the manual, which I just saw now, the stop key in ISO mode is the "del" key. I haven't had a chance to try it yet as I was repairing the z-axis today. I'm sure it will work and I didn't see the stop button because there isn't one with that label in ISO mode. Thanks again for the help. I think this is another solved issue!

Hi,

Note that the spindle will STILL keep running even when you have hit cycle stop and 'stop'. You will need to stop the spindle in manual mode with M5 or maybe M25 to stop and retract the Z-axis.
