Hi folks, I have questions regarding the threading wizard. Specifically, the leadout.
I'm running the demo so can't post any code but this is threading code from another recent post.
N0085 G76 P030060 Q0.02 R0.005 K0
N0090 G76 X0.36 Z-0.75 R0 P0.135 Q0.02 F0.0769
So this is the G76 2 block type referenced starting page 30 in the manual. (Very nice, btw)
The user selected a straight pullout .. P**00**
The motion controller handles the actual cycle ? is this correct ? and can vary between different products ?
If any of you have threaded successfully, can you tell me which controller you are using and most importantly, does the tool retract WITHOUT cutting a groove around the stock ? ie: does the z maintain its feedrate during the pullout ?
And if you programmed P**02** would the pitch carry through the leadout ? like the attached (ignoring the taper).
I understand that slow accelerations can adversely affect this and that running a slower rpm can help. I could never get good results using Mach3.
Thanks,
Russ
