Haas ST10Y Rigid Tap cycle hangs

Hey guys,

 

I'm working on a part and I have a "rigid tap cycle" that seems to hang in the middle of my program. So not a live tool but rigid mounted tap, and am trying to spin the chuck to make the tread. 

 

the lathe loads the tool (tap), goes in and lines up with the hole spindle stops and then everything just freezes. What's strange its no errors show up. It just freezes in time. Not sure what it might be. I've included the NC file for you to look at. There is a G84 in there. That's where it stops. I'm using the latest post config "Haas ST-10y" 

 

Thanks!

Your sure the machine has that option purchased? just to rule that out.

It's a good thought. Yes the Haas ST10y's all come with rigid tapping as a standard feature. Unlike my Haas Mill 🙄😏

delete the toolpath AND the tool from the library and try again. I get all sorts of weird glitches with live tooling or flipping back and forth between live and static.

 

is it generating the m154 to engage the C axis? and is live tool unchecked in the tool setup?

Strange we tried to run this again as you posted it and it just hangs at

At the time, I copied posted code and ran it on Haas ST30SSY without changing a single character.

So now I am curious as to when it hangs up on your machine.

Are you using G84 for the first time ever ?, is it an option on machine ?, even old SL20  has G84 option.

 

If you run graphics simulation on control, does it go thru, if it passes simulation in machine control it should run.

If not, run simulation in single block and note at what point it hangs up, any alarm messages, illegal code, best guess .......... wrong parameter settings.

Typically, in manually generated code, I position tool prior to G84 block and don't use R function, no clamps or other obstructions to jump over.

After tapping, tool returns to starting point ( Z.25 ).

Positioning of X axis prior to G84  or withing G84 cycle should not matter so I am at loss as to what is causing your machine to hang up.

Anytime I use Y axis in an operation, I zero it at the end of that operation so that next operation is not dependent on any variables from previous operation, helps avoid alarms when rerunning some operations after program reset.

CAM generated code will have some redundancy but if things are in order, it's just clutter that doesn't cause problems. 

 

Example program for  center line :

 

N5(1/4-20 tap)

T505

G97 S500 M3

G0 G54 G18 G99 X0 Z.5

Z.25 M8

G84 Z-.5 F.05

GO Z.5 M9

G53 X-4. Z-10.

I noticed a M03 is missing after the S500 in this gcode.I post processed myself in a haas st-20 a right tapping operation(G84) and i get the same result--no M03 after the spindle speed.Is this a bug?

No, it's not a bug.

What was the outcome? One of my ST15Y's works fine and one hangs up at G84. Encoder issue?
