custom drill cycle post help

[MIL-TFP-41]

hey all...I would like to create a custom drill cycle that would be a incremental cycle...or another way of putting it would be I want a custom cycle that will do the same thing as a peck drill cycle only without the canned cycle (the code would look like it does when you turn usecanpeck to off)

 

this would be way handy...I am drilling some deep holes...using a stub drill for the first bit then a longer drill for the rest. With a "incremental" cycle you put can all the parameters in mastercam & it posts the code out long hand...1st peck being 2.00 & the rest being .1 (or whatever)

 

hope someone can follow all that.

 

Thanks in advance!

what kind of machine are you runing

JMC,

 

If you do a search on macro drill cycle, I think there is a drilling macro that has been posted that will do what you are looking to do.

 

Something like this

checking out the macro stuff now....

 

The machine is a Matsuura V-MAX 800 5AX with a Siemens 840DI control

Here is something you can try. I've had several people ask the same thing, mostly they would use peck cycles but occasionally wanted long code so they could stop it to; check tool, apply oil, blow chips out. I have also expanded upon this to include a 3rd or 4th peck amount as the hole gets deeper in relation to the post variable tldia (tool diameter).

code:

---

         pbld, n, `sg00, pxout, pyout, e

inc_depth = tosz

inc_refht = refht

feed = fr_pos

prv_feed = -9999

while inc_depth > depth,

[

if inc_depth = tosz,

[

inc_depth = inc_depth - abs(peck1)

inc_clearance = inc_depth + abs(peck1) + abs(peckclr)

if inc_depth < depth, inc_depth = depth

]

else,

[

inc_depth = inc_depth - abs(peck2)

inc_clearance = inc_depth + abs(peck2) + abs(peckclr)

if inc_depth < depth, inc_depth = depth

]

 

pbld, n, *inc_clearance, e

pbld, n, "G01", *inc_depth, feed, e

pbld, n, "G00", *inc_refht, e

]

Looks pretty trick Roger...gonna play with that in the morning
