Radial movement in drilling operation. Not shown in simulation

Anonymous

I'm trying to do a simple drilling operation on my HAAS-ST-30. Everything looks fine in the simulation, however in the following line of code, its shifting the X axis .075 before the drill retracts. I've tried several post configs and it doesn't make a difference. So whats causing it?

 

N25 G81 X0. Z-3.025 R0.075 F5.

Hi @Anonymous,

The R value in the code is only the retract Height (In Z axis). In that code is the X-axis not moving.

Please see the attached image. It is most definitely moving the x axis. Note the difference between the tool offset 8 and the machine position. .075. I noticed it when doing a dry run. Again, this does not show up in simulation, which is pretty scary. 20180817_112041 (1).jpg

@Steinwerks Any insight on this one? I'm assuming the post is the issue because when I simulate it, under the info tab the x axis does not move. However after post it generates the line in my original post.

This is another one that would need a sample part. Is it the same sample part from your other thread?

 

I presume this is using the same ST-30 post processor, correct?

Same part. Same thing happens with both the generic haas post, and the st
30 post.

This is pretty bizarre, especially because Haas says this is the retract plane:

This is the code I got from the generic Haas Turning post:

Know anyone who can get the post fixed? I'm assuming I can't be the only one with this issue. I don't want to have to manually edit the code every time I have a drill operation.

In the code I posted there would be nothing to move the X axis - even according to Haas' documentation - so I don't know why your machine is doing it.

Still having this issue on the generic Haas Turn post, and the ST-30 Post. Also happens with tapping cycles as well. 

 

See this link https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-computer-aided/drilling-on-lathe-g1-instead-of-g81/td-p/80...

 

This worked as a workaround for my drilling cycles, but I haven't figured it out for tapping. 

As a side note, I noticed that in  the default post for turning and ST-30 no matter what settings I enter for drilling, it rapids every movement. I can change Surface speed, Feed per revolution, etc etc, and it makes no difference when actually running. The above link fixes that issue, but again, it still exists for tapping. 

 

I noticed that its outputting a G17 cycle for "circular motion XY plane selection" From what I understand that doesn't make sense for a lathe? I wonder if that has something to do with this issue.
