Rigid tapping

[Bada Bing]

Does anyone know if the tap cycle can be changed on a VF-5 Haas so the tap feeds in and out at the same spindle speed, looks like the spindle speed is doubled on the reverse cycle.

Thanks

There is a setting in the parameters of your machine. Probably on the same page as repeat rigid tap. Set it to 1 and it will be the same as when it went in.

Quick Reverse Out of a G84 Rigid Tapping Cycle.
This rigid tapping feature has the tap exit faster than it entered. A J code on
the G84 line commands this, for example, J2 retracts twice as fast, J3 retracts
three times as fast, etc. up to J9. The J code must be specified in each block.

Setting 130 - Tap Retract Speed
This setting affects the retract speed during a tapping cycle (The mill must have
the Rigid Tapping option). Entering a value, such as 2, will command the mill
to retract the tap twice as fast as it went in. If the value is 3, it will retract three
times as fast. A value of 0 or 1 will have no affect on the retract speed. (Range
0-4)
Entering a value of 2, is the equivalent of using a J code of 2 for G84 (Tapping
canned

Setting 130 RIGID-TAP RETRACT MULTI set it to 0 or 1.

If you specify a a J value in the G84 line it will override whatever Setting 130 does. J1 retracts at the same sped as entry, J2 twice as fast, J3 three times as fast, etc.

Hah Geof I beat you to it! Slowly learning

It is my hunt and peck typing that holds me back.

Thanks to all!
