Need Help!- G75 groove cycle

[oregoncnc]

something strange has happened on my CL253b. I dont remember what control it is exactly, but its a mitsubishi something.

this is what i've been using since the machine was new....
G75 R0.01
G75 X...Z...P...Q...F...

always worked, no sweat. shut the machine off friday. came in on monday, and now everytime it reads the 2nd G75 line, it throws a P32 address error alarm. I tried reloading a program we ran earlier in the week and same thing.
we called the local service rep, and they have no idea. WTH!!

any ideas? i have not changed any parameters.

Look at the code of your program where the "p" is. Maybe it needs edited and your post, from the last time you downloaded the program, is alarming you out. I've experienced this simular problem when downloading a program which was programed on a CAM because the CAM post does the sub-routine a little different than the machine requires.

thanks for the reply. i tried changing the p command to everything i could think of, and nothing helped. changed a few other commands around too....nothing.

started with, P.05 Q0.1
tried, P500 Q1000...nodda

a local mori service rep has come out to try and solve it. he copied all my parameters and is contacting mitsubishi. hopefully they can come up with something. i have hundreds of programs with G75's in them. its a real drag editting them all out.

Hello guys
I worked briefly with this code. But please take a look at the relations between the tool width and the size of the groove. Make sure you are not using a larger insert type in an small size groove. Mori is a bit unforgiven when you loose offsets in your tool geometry. Check tools offsets, wear, geometry and make sure that when tool approaches part you have travel going up when tool retracts from piece.

I am just trying to give you some possibles avenues of thought. I had situations were the answer was not in the code itself but on set-up difficulties due to larger parts and the alarms were misleading.

Good luck
