warmup program: dwell time is incorrect if set > 60 seconds
Hey all,
My warmup program (VF1) specifies a dwell of 300. seconds per RPM setting, but it only runs for about 45 seconds. I played around with a bunch of values. Any value less than 60. produces the correct dwell time. However, anything above 60. produces an apparently random dwell time...but always less than 60 seconds. Thoughts?
Oh and my program is identical to my neighbor's VF3, which works fine.
Not familiar with Haas. I do know on some machines, if you're in IPR, then dwell is in revolutions, not seconds or milliseconds, and if you're in IPM, then it's seconds
Sorry I misstyped I have: S500 M03 G04 P300. I don't think it's ipr because if I input P60. It runs for 60 seconds but if I input P70. It runs for about 12 seconds.
Earlier Haas software versions had a problem when dwelling over 60 seconds. To overcome this, order a new machine..... Or, you can program a 300 second dwell using multiple lines; like this:
