G76 Threading Wizard ?
« on: October 15, 2009, 11:23:15 AM »
Is there a wizard to produce G76 code ?

Or could someone post code for 1.5mm pitch thread 8mm dia x 20mm long in full G76 format

So i can configure my Post Processor

Thanks

The simple threading wizard does G76. A look in the Turn manual will give you all the words that can be used, which are needed and which are optional.

Sorry thought G32 was the simple one.

When i run my cam generated code i get the chamfer at the beginning of the pass rather than at the end, but it is all in the order is documented in the manual.

I just wanted to see where the error was, i will go and produce some code now.

Thanks Hood

OK, if it doesn't matter about order i may have another problem.  ;D

I'm only dry cutting at the moment.

The X & Z both feed in together then there is a small X movement, then the Z moves at pitch speed.

When that Z depth is reached there is a G00 out on the X axis then a G00 feed on the Z axis back to the start when it all repeats.

I have already found other error in the Post Processor for Screwcutting.

FWIW,
How about using the wizard and generate the same code. Only difference change the M0176.mis file such that it will generate code for  G76 and then for a G32.

Hood, Thanks OneCNC

One error i have noticed with the post processor is if i fill in the box for a 3mm retract the post processor adds a decimal point so i get a .3mm pullout.  ???

Rich, Thanks i have just tried the wizard "Simple Threading" that produced G76 code.

I am now going to try the Mach code.

OK just tried the Mach code and have some questions.

On ports/Pins, Turn options there are some default values for threading.

Do these values over ride what is posted in the code if a value is included in the code or only if a value is missing from the posted code

These would be listed as optional on page 10-16 on ver 1.84 manual. ?

They should only be used if none are in the code. The wizard also has additional settings which you get to by pressing the Settings button in the wizard.
