Sieg Machines / Tapping on KX3
« on: January 27, 2011, 03:40:56 PM »
Hi Everyone
Is it possible to tap on KX3? I see that G84 rigid tapping is disabled for this m/c. In a previous life I used similar code to this to cross tap with a power tool on a mill turn m/c
G0 Z3 M3
G1 Z-10 F27
G1 Z3 F33 M4
if I can find out if this works I will try to source a floating tap holder
Many thanks
Ray

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Macro wont load
« on: October 18, 2010, 01:31:24 PM »
Hi All
Trying to write a hex milling macro the problem being I am not sure how to declare variables written program with similar format as I have done in the past but it does not seem to work as seen in screen shot can anyone tell me where I am going wrong please. Code is below & the reason to write macro is I cannot find a wizard to produce a hex, have licence for Mach 3 wizards but cannot see anything suitable  & I have a series of parts to make which will save a lot of time with macro.

(Hex Macro #1=a/f Size. #4=Z depth)
#1=38.0
#4=3
#1=[#1/2]
#2=[#1*TAN[30]]
#3=[#1/COS[30]]

Sieg Machines / KX3 spindle running slow
« on: August 12, 2010, 05:04:50 PM »
Have just installed new KX3 with 5000rpm spindle the problem is that the spindle is running at about 50 % of the speed which is called for it maxes out at 2300rpm I altered the pulley 4 settings to 5000, ran auto cal in function config as the speed ramped up the revs lagged by about 50% I also entered a speed by MDI with same result checked spindle revs with digital rev counter.The cd contained a KX3 5000 profile version R3.041 which I used. Have only jogged other axis & they appear to be working OK. Hasanybody got any ideas please.
