TL-2 IPS Canned Cycle
Hello and thanks in advance for any help.
I am new to CNC turning. I have been getting use to the control on the TL-2 in particular the IPS quick programing layer.
I have been able to setup the tools and the offsets and use the canned operations. I have one problem that is driving me nuts.
When I setup an OD turning cycle, for example:
start diameter: 2.000
Final diameter: 1.75
Depth of cut: .010
Feed: .005
The cut always starts about .050 larger than the start diameter. So in the example above the canned cycle would start and progress like this:
X= 2.050
X= 2.040
X= 2.030
X= 2.020
X= 2.010
X= 2.000
X= 1.990 (finally removing stock)
The final diameter turns out fine.
I cannot figure out where the "boy now that was stupid" ah ah answer is.

could it be that you are using very small cuts? 0.010 is very small. Try 0.040 cuts and see what happens. Mine does the same. I think the machine allows itself a clearance so wont start at the "start diameter"
