Turning Canned Cycle

Anonymous — Sat, 05 Oct 2019 07:13:34 GMT

I have updated the latest update 04/10/2019 and the canned cycle for turning still does not work. Tried point and cutting edge still no joy. Attached is the nc output file.

Can you attach your sample file here with the post processor?

Thanks,

Hi Akash,
Thank you for responding. So this is the machine and control I have.
Hardinge Cobra42 cnc lathe. The control is Ge-Fanuc 21T. The post processor
I have always used is listed as FANUC.I have tried modeling a most basic
profile with 2 diameters. If I post without ticking the "use canned cycle"
there are no problems as I have machine quite a few profiles before. Using
the canned cycle reduces the number of block considerably so it is easier
to upload to the control. Hopefully I am doing something wrong. When I post
then an error message comes up''Contact point not valid and currently not
supported" (something like that)
Regards
Raymond Candiotes

The latest Fanuc turning post processor should support turning canned cycles. Can you attach your sample file along with your post processor here so I can check?

As to the contact point error, contact point tool limits are currently not supported for canned cycle output. We have, howver, implemented it internally and this will be released soon in an upcoming update.
