    Default fanuc OT

    Hi all,

    I have just bought a Nakamura tome tmc 20 lathe.
    Has anyone got an NC printout they can send me. I need to creat a post for our cam system. I can get the thing to rough and finish but screw cutting seems a problem. The tool just overides in X every time and I can't understand why.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    What treading cycle are you using. I know g76 has a parameter that sets cut depth. mine was set at .0001 so the first time I threaded with it it took about 20 minutes. I believe if you use p1 it uses your d amount for depth of cut, I don't remember for sure so I use g92 instead. My controller is 11te so it doesn't use the double line cycles.

    Paul,

    Here is a snippit from our TMC 15 with an explanation

    %
    M1(THREAD 1 3/16-20)
    G20G40G80G97G99
    T0404(SER 0750 K16)
    (INSERT - 16ER-20 UN)
    G0X1.2S2500M3
    Z.15M8
    G76P000060Q150R10
    G76X-1.114Z-.37R0P320Q140F.05
    G0Z1.M9
    G28W0M5
    M30
    %

    G76 P(m)(r)(a) Q(min) R(fin)
    G76 X(Øfin) Z(len) R(i) P(k) Q(1st) F(L)

    WHERE
    m = SPRING CUTS (01)
    r = CHAMFER AMOUNT(00)
    a = TOOL ANGLE (80 60 55 30 29 0)
    min = MINIMUM DEPTH OF CUT
    fin = FINISHING ALLOWANCE
    Øfin = ROOT DIAMETER
    len = LENGTH OF THREAD
    i = THREAD RADIUS DIFFERENCE
    k = THREAD HEIGHT (RADIUS)
    1st = 1ST CUT DEPTH
    L = THREAD LEAD

    Hope this helps...

    JK

    Does oT use the 2 line G76 cycle?

    I believe the 0, 16, 18, & 21t controls may be able to use the 1-line Multiple Repetitive Cycles (G71-G76). Check your settings for "TAPE-F". If 0, it uses 2-line cycles, if 1 it uses 1-line cycles. Check your operator's manual under "Memory Option Using Series 10/11 Tape Format". Be aware that this also changes sub-program call loop format to M90 Pnnnn Lnnnn.

    Default error alarm

    I can now run my program through all the operations without any errors. However when I cycle the program again, it alarms out when it reads the first moves within the roughing cycle. The error is listed as 'feedrate not commanded or feedrate inadequate'. If I restart the machine it runs ok for the first time then errors out if I try to cycle it again.
    I take this to mean the program is setting up something later in the program which, when read again, creates a fault but I can't think what it could be.
    Any ideas?

    It would help if we could see your code, but...

    1. Make sure there's a feedrate commanded in or before your first feed move.

    2. Make sure that G99 (IPR) is active. If you're using G98 to pull stock, etc. you'll get that alarm if you have a small F value.

    Default More trouble

    Hi, and thankyou decoupar for the G99 advice. It worked. Great.

    Does anyone know a drill cycle that retracts in Z to an absolute figure, say 3mm. At the moment it retracts by an incremental amount.

    Are you using G74 or G83 for drilling?

    If you're using G83, check parameter #31 bit 4. According to my 0T parameter manual, if it's 0, you'll do a "chip break" high-speed peck cycle. If it's 1, you should get a "normal" full retract.

    If you're using G74, I believe you're limited to a "return distance" set by the first G74 R value. Just for grins, you might try specifying a large number or 0 (try it away from the part first).
