I'm wondering if anyone can help with this line of code.
I'm trying to cut a thread with .06" pitch and six revolutions.
G91
G02 X0.0 Y0.0 I0.5 J0.0 Z-0.06 L6.0 F20.0
The G91 should put the machine in incremental mode.
The G02 should create a cirle with radius of .5".
The Z-0.6 should give the thread a .06" pitch per rev.
The L6.0 should make the machine repeat the circular command six times and should give a six thread part?
When I execute this code, the machine only makes one circle and moves to the next line.
The Z does move down .06 and the machine comletes one thread.
Why is that? What have I got wrong?
Anyone?
Thanks in advance.
