If you have a P value.. set it to zero
else, program the cycle longhand using a G01 plunge with a G00 to retract...
if there is still a lag at the bottom of the hole, then the issue is with the machine or controller
Hi Friends,
We're using a G81 drilling cycle on plastic parts but we're finding the dwell at the bottom of the hole is too long and starts melting the plastic. We would like to remove the slight dwell time at the bottom of the hole which seems to be built into the canned G81 cycle.
Does anyone know if a parameter of the G81 cycle can be changed to remove the dwell? Will I need to create my own canned cycle to accomplish this?
Thank you for your help.

This happens in the g0 block after g01.
Problem occurs in rapid traverse after cutting traverse.
Cutting feed is normal after cutting feed.
Rapid traverse is normal after rapid traverse.

Hi Pyson,
Your code there has nothing to do with G81. I thought your question was about G81 drill cycle?
Here is what a typical G81 drilling cycle looks like.
T2M6 (DRILL)
G17G21G40G49G54G80G90G98
G0 X25. Y-20.
G43 Z2.5 H2 S3050 M3 T3
M8
G98 G81 Z-30. R2.5 F100.
X35.
X50.
Y-40.
G80
M9
Those position moves are of course arbitrary.
If you want to get better results out of what you have above, try staying in feed mode and not switching to rapid.
G01 Z-30. F100.
Z30.F8000.
Plus I'm thinking if the control waits 2 seconds after the feed move and before the rapid move, the machine might have problems. Make the your machine is not stuck in Exact Stop Check Mode G61. Should be in regular cutting mode G64. Go into MDI and type in G64 EOB and hit cycle start. Then try your code again and see if there's any difference.
Has anyone been messing with the parameters lately???
