yeah, me too ... i mean i also think the same about Cooper he has that charismatic G code expressionCooper is a great guy and did a decent job of explaining CTR function
he said something about this in the 2nd blog ... please see attached / however, he was presenting this during the M65, so maybe is confusing, because is like you must 1st understand what M65 does, and also understand that coupling does not care about it ...He did however leave out the other part of this which is to put your T command on same line as the XZ move. This will allow the turret to clamp the curvic coupling as it rapids towards the part when you have the servo turrets.
also, Broby revealed the posibility of using this syntax a few time ago ...
syntax is something, coupling ( machine behaviour on the syntax ) is something else ...Code:N1008 X52 Z52 T020202
me, for example, i discovered this by mistake, just yesterday ... i was mesing with M86/87
if you are in manual mode, and while turret is indexing, you push Z_left button, than turret goes left after indexing+clamping ... i thought to eliminate this clamping_delay inside the program, but when the program runs, machine is clamping during rapid by default
for example, here :
when i saw that this is default, at least on osp300, i remembered that paragraph from Cooper, the one that i postedCode:T ( indexing ) G0 X.. Z.. ( clamping during movement ) G97 .. G01 ... ( at least 0.5seconds must take between T and G01, so for the clamping to occur before feed ) generally, i go like this : T... M66 G0 X... Z... M63 G97...
so, sometimes, tricks are presented during other tricks ... a bit from here, a bit from there, and you got the final image
drill with peck : cut,+Zclearance, cut, +Zclearance ... please, from where do you change the clearance ?Inside of the canned cycles, another savings can be achieved by adjusting the clearance values in the peck drilling cycles
however, generaly, this move (+Zclearance) is done in rapid, so to break the chip spiral ...this tensions the tool ... when i peck, i use feed so breaking with less stress
i must say that i hit into a lot of stuff that default cycles won't deliver, so i code a lot on G ... now, for example, a drill enters after another; entrance rpm=100, so to have a smooth entrance
also, i share same curiosity ... let's contact this guy let's tell him about time reduction on VRSTT i would ask him about low precision on roughing and default or desired precision on finish operations ... all the bestI think that this is what he was referring to
