Mitsubishi M80 post processor

Wondering if anyone can help me out with a post processor for the M80 Control. I am running it on a Pinnacle 3axis Milling machine.

Having issues when posting for Tapping cycles.

I managed to get it to work by modifying the post, but its a pain atm.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know the M80 control but this works for me on the M70 control. It uses E-- for tapping.

Maybe it doesn't work for me since we are using 2016 here.

Can you post using the generic Mits post in the list? How about other posts?

I can for the most part, the only thing so far that has given me any problems is tapping.

And I am growing tired of editing every post that has tapping in it.

I don't have 2016 loaded anymore but I used this post with it. I have attached another copy of the post I just tested and the output. You may need to get your dealer to look at it on your end.

This is what it posted for a 1/2-13 tap.

Wondering if you could explain to me how it determines its feed rate, I am assuming the P is for peck, and E is tpi? what does the R value stand for?

Also is the E is tpi, will it convert Metric for me, or do I need to keep an eye out for that when I post for my metric taps?

E is the TPI. The feed is synced with the spindle RPM. If you chose a metric tap it will calculate the TPI. Try it on a metric tap.

Did you get this worked out? I have a M64s control, and I edited my PP to work with G95 tapping, which is superior - especially for metric.
