Please note that the MDI feature works very well in general, and was a great enhancement to the interface of the earlier TCNC version. I felt I should mention...
Using G76 my "depth of cut" or "D" is not correct. On the first try I had programed "D" as 0.005 but in use it was 0.0005 each pass (as measured with a dial...
When encountering an error line during a "Dry Verify / Run" of my gcode file, the problem line is not identified. My gcode file was 840 lines long and locating...
I tried Dry Run yesterday, and could not get it to work. I tried it on a very small program which did not seem to have any errors. I seem to recall that this...
Donīt you have any calculations in your code? I met a problem at V.4.0.1 when calculation producing numbers higher than 10000 were done the result was...
I suppose G76 works OK. It seems to me you have your lathe set to work in diameter mode, so the input values for X asis are divided by 2. Only the first pass...
Hi, Ive had this problem usually when a G02/3 is called It comes up with an error,then it locks the computer so that you have to restart.There is nothing...
George, thanks for reply. I am in radius mode. Note that the infeed is not equal nor in decreasing amounts but .010, .018, .006 and .006. Doesn't make sense to...
I just disovered that Dry Run only works if the file is Opened in T TCNC. Use File/Open and not File/Run Neil Albert ... gcode file, the problem line is not...
I have never had any issues with the functioning of dry run. I always have multiple G02/03 call outs in my gcode. The early version, 3.1, required both X and Y...
... I too have had difficulty locating the errant line. Sometimes, I get a runtime error and the program crashes. My work around for the problem is to try to...
Dan Thank you for this excellent idea. I'll be sure to try that. Owen ... From: turbocnc@yahoogroups.com [mailto:turbocnc@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Infeed is calculated to keep the debris constant, not to keep the depth of cut. Next reason for strange first depth could be settings of X value. See my notes...
I have been making some round dishes out of wood that are 2.5 inches in diameter. I indicate the diameter within a .001. The top has a male cutout and the...
whats probably happening is that your cutter is "pulling in" the table in the oposite direction to the backlash,so in effect the cutter has pulled the actual...
... How are they offset? Are they round but shifted, or are they out of round by 0.010-0.020" I don't see how offset could be causing the problem if the...
Hi all i have been trying to understand the revised description and drawing for G76 published a couple of months ago. unfortunately i cannot understand the...
anyone else having problems with diameter mode on lathe like some times it turns dia. within .002 then you run the same program some dia good others off by .01...
Hi all. I am having a Little, no a lot of difficulty trying to set work offsets. If someone could answer my questions, I might be able to work it out. Here...
Jim, I cannot answer your question directly as I find it easier to do the following: 1. Home the X and Y axis (I have home switches) Alternative, jog to your...
WOW, I like the simplicity of this routine. I will try that, but I still would like to know how use the G54%$...Offsets. We did it in my CNC Mill class, but...
... The "master" reference is the same as G53. Think of it this way - You start off with a fixture #0 and set the 0,0,0 location for it. Next, you move to ...
Hi Jerry. Let me see if I understand you right. Master reference is when I home the machine in g53? Then I jog the machine to the place I want to be G54 and...
Hi all Please excuse me for re-posting. there has been no response to my previous posting and experience shows that if a question remains unanswered for 24...
... It's whereever you want it. It could be where you home the machine, or it could be some corner point on your raw material. ... That sounds about right ... ...
Thanks Jerry. Will try it this way. Jim ... From: "Carol & Jerry Jankura" <jerry.jankura@...> To: <turbocnc@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, February 05,...
Hi Dan. OK. You're right about the typo in the second example, the first "F" should really be a K. Sorry about that - it makes things difficult when you're...
