Hello, I'm using CNCPRO to mill double sided printed circuit boards, because I couldn't get Turbocnc to provide home switch functionality together with a limit...
After rereading your post but not following line by line, your mention of "on new programs or after machine hasd been off for a while" makes me think you might...
Denis, the one thing that sticks out is you have no F words following the first G01. CNCPro does not know what to do. I don't know what the result will be...
Hi Dennis; It's dependant on what your machine controller recognizes, officially drilling is G81 (straight drilling) , 82 (with dwell) , 83 (chip breaking with...
I see a couple of possible issues. No feed rate on the first G1 command. All comments should be in parenthesis. I do not see G82 as a recognized command in the...
I see some other possible issues as I read the manual. G81 doesn't have a "P" parameter. It only accepts R as release plane and the Z should be a negative...
Hi Rich, thanks for that. I'll check out the F word following the G01, maybe that's what needed. There is no post processor for eagle pcb and pcb-gcode and I'm...
Hi Will, thanks for the suggestion, I considered the modality issue a couple of weeks ago and decided insert a G80 at top of the drill list to cancel any...
Hi Tracy, I didn't realize the F word may have some influence and will check it out. I forgot to use the parenthesis for comments myself, here's the code I'm...
Dennis, I just ran the program below repeatedly and it works fine. There were several problems with your original text. M06 is used to send the machine to a...
You have to call a tool length change with G43 Px with x being the tool number. G82 is not a recognized command. Just call the G81 and give the X and Y of each...
According to the manual, G82 is not recognized by CNC Pro. And, even if it was a Turbo G-code file, G82 is a drill hole with dwell so you would not call it...
Tracy, Every time I omitted prepositioning to the first hole (before the G81 block) trying to do it in the G81 block was failure. This is true on industrial ...
That's good to know. I have not done any hole drilling with G81 with Pro yet. Zeus does it (moves to the hole location without being prepositioned) and I think...
Here is the note from the CNCPro-Help.doc file per G83 ... specified by Z parameter. Max depth/pass specified by Q parameter Eg: "G81 R1 Z-.5 Q-.25" where...
As I read the manual on the G81 command, it appears that it doesn't even need the XY of the first hole specified in the G81 call. If you're going to be...
Does it do the XY coord move(s) within the cycle as the last F rate or as a rapid? -Will ... From: Tracy Presnell To: CNCPro@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday,...
Last email got away from me... Does it do the X-Y coord cahange at the last feedrate? The reason I'm asking is, I'm thinking that you could rapid to the first...
Hi Tracy, thanks for the info on the P word, I removed it and the drill cycle is working OK for now. I am using a negative value for Z and it's always worked...
Hi Will, I got it to run, at least for the 5 board batch that I'm doing right now. The problem was the P word in the G81 command, I removed it from all the G81...
Denis, Tracy, et al, The period following Fxx. words and some others are very neccessay in some controllers. I know Fadal needs it or it will assume the...
