ProE G83 Problem - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

Joe_CNC · #1 04-08-2004, 02:40 AM

Whenever I try to do a G83 drill cycle using the default "Automatic Hole Depth" option my post processor never creates the correct G code, and the CNC always drills the holes starting from the wrong z-axis height.

I know it's not a problem with ProE, just my post processors. NC_Check/Play Path/Vericut all show the proper drill location, but the G-Code never exports correctly. Everything else works fine.

Does anyone know how to properly configure the G83 post processor options for Bridgeport/Haas CNC's?

I think the problem involves confusion between absolute & program coordinate systems.

Thanks,
Joe

I have the same problem ... for the Bridgeport machines it seems like the z move has to be an incremental move calculated from the retract plane... How to enforce this behaviour through Pro Nc's post processor configurator is a mystery to me... yet...

any ideas?
