tapmatic for mastercam

[cuyeyo]

Hello,

Does anybody know how to program a Tapmatic head in Mastercam? I remember an old version of Mastercam I think it was X5 had the feature to program it in he drilling cycles. I don't see it in 2017. Is that something you need to pay extra or is it something that we need to activate. Thank you all for your replies

Tapo amtic you mean floting head for taping as your machine doese not support G84 tap cycle? there was never a tapomatic option in Mastercam unless it was a some type of custom cycle that your dealer created for your post.

There may be a possibility to use a Reaming cycle for a tap-o-matic
- a ream cycle is normally a feed in / feed out.... all other cycles rapid retract ( ...... bar the tapping cycle)

Check your machine manual for any cycle that does that action...... do NOT use any that retract in rapid

It was probably a custom cycle that was called Tap-matic, it was one of the cycle options in Mastercam not in the post. That type of tapping head uses a G85 "bore cycle" but as soon as I entered the RPM it did the calculation of the feed rate. I just did not wat to edit by hand.

Thank you

Hi Superman,

I ended up using the bore cycle G85 and changed the feed rate at the machine. Thank you all for you replies
