Hurco Turing Post

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have a really good Hurco turning post? The generic one gets by for the time. But there is a lot I would like to do on it before we sell the machine.

Thank you,

What would you want to change?

Is it mostly the formatting? Or actual code changes?

[Anonymous]

Both a lot of the mcodes don't match with the what the post generates. I find myself going thru and changing constantly. Pretty sure it is very simple, but not sure where to start on it.

 later today I'll post  the code for example and show edits for what I'm talking about

Here is where the machine controller has an issue,

What it posts, 

T0606
G98
G97 S800 M3
G0 X0. Z0.6
G17              ( The G17 in drill cycle makes the machine alarm out)
G0 Z0.2
Z0.6
Z0.2
G81 X0. Z-0.22 R0.18 F2.4
G80
Z0.6
G28 U0. W0.

.

(PART1)
G99
G97 S1200 M3
G0 X1.8 Z-2.386

                            ( Would like to see a Part Catch Activate right here M58 for Hurco)
G1 X-0.063 F0.003

                            ( Would like Part Catch retracted M59 for Hurco)
X1.8
G0 Z0.

Here is what works after edit

T0606
G98
G97 S800 M3
G0 X0. Z0.6
Z0.2
G81 X0. Z-0.22 R0.18 F2.4
G80

(PART1)
G99

 M58       
G1 X-0.063 F0.003

 M59                       
X1.8
G0 Z0.

Here is a few changes would make all the difference

Didn't get a chance to actually post code with it but this should help.

Everything worked great so far, the only thing is the part catcher does not activate when programmed in the software, Any way to fix that?

[Laurens-3DTechDraw · Accepted solution]

Put all the logic in there but forgot the "activate" it.

Sorry.

Try the attached one.

Perfect!  That works in the mean time. There are some other things like the threading but I don't have a part for the example yet. that will come later on to try to see what is going on.

The post is set-up for threading when you select useCycle in the Threading operation.

By default it would use G92 threading cycle, might not be the most elegant cycle but it should work fine.

[Anonymous]

That is the problem. G92 on a Hurco lathe is not threading 

This is for a tapered thread

Not sure what to do to get it close to this

I updated your post.

Please test very carefully.

The Pitch output might be wrong if you run in Inch. (I think MM is good)

This output will only be generated if you leave UseCycle option in the Threading operation off, it will give an error when you have that on.

Let me know if it works.

[Anonymous]

Ok sounds good ill test it, later on, today and give you feedback on how it worked out. 

Looked good so far, but never know on this Hurco.

[Laurens-3DTechDraw]

BTW your sample shows G32 while the manual says G33.
