Going to start testing this out next week. So far I'm deleting a few lines to get past the P34 error, going to try and switching it to type 2 on Monday. Thank you for starting this. 

Thanks.

Hi Tommy,

thank you for testing this.

Let me know if you need any updates on this post.

KerimY,

So far I've found that on this controller Type 2 works with out a error at the beginning of the program. On drill cycles it's adding a G17 which looks like a X-Y plane selection.  Tool changes only go back to the X home position.

Hi Tommy,

can you please explain it in more detail.

Is G17 wrong?

What is wrong on X home position on Tool change?

What exactly causes the error?

Thanks,

Kerim

@KerimY

I'm not sure why we keep outputting G17 as default for drilling on Lathe's but usually they don't like that.

Usually turning machines that don't have a Y axis always stay in G18.

[tommyjrobison]

KerimY, 

No Y on 2 axis lathes as Laurens post states. On N41 G28 UO. it should Read N41 G28 UO W0. so both the X and Z return to home before turret changes tools other wise it my hit the work piece when going from a short to a long tool.

@Laurens-3DTechDraw

Thank you, you're right.

@tommyjrobison

I have updated the plane selection, it will always stay in G18.

Also the retract its updated to go first in X home position and then in Z.

The updates are soon available in the post library.

[Laurens-3DTechDraw]

@KerimY nice!

Hope this gets the post going. 😉

@KerimY

I've got some more upgrades to report. Can a M8 at the beginning of each Tool change and M9 at he end be added. Can a M10 at the beginning of a Part off also be added with a M11 at the end for the parts catcher.  KerimY Thank for the time your putting in on this!

@tommyjrobison

I add M8 at the beginning of each tool change and M9 at the end of each tool.

It is soon avaible in the post library.

I think M10 and M11 is not generic, because not machines have a part catcher but i can show you how to add this code by yourself.

Do you need the M-codes optional as property or should it always outputted?

I think it make sense to add M10 at the beginning of the last operation or do you need it at the beginning of the first operation?

M11 is at the end of the last operation.

[tommyjrobison]

@KerimY

On the Part tab in HSM for Parting Off there is a Check box to use the parts catcher but it doesn't turn on the M10 and off M11. Can this be added in?

[KerimY]

@tommyjrobison

Thank you Tommy.

This function will be implemented on all turning posts.

It is soon available in the post library.

@KerimY

I believe the Hole drilling Cycle (Rapid out) needs to be changed Not sure what G81 does for the Meldas, can't find it in the book.

I believe the Hole Drilling Cycle needs to be changed to a G83
