Z unwantedly repeats itself when drilling
« on: June 24, 2015, 04:54:13 AM »
Hi. I have instructed Mach3 to drill several holes. The mill positiones itself on the correct starting position and starts drilling. However, it continues the drilling procedure two to four times before it continues to the next position. The program has the same codes as in the "Multiple Hole Pattern" wizard. I use a laptop with Windows Vista. What can I do to make it performe as intended? Could there be one or more of those very small people inside the computer making tricks on me like they sometimes do to our brains?

Regards

Hi ozwes007 and thanks for quick response. I have shortened the program tremendously as I neThe trouble starts in line 08. Z goes down and up several times and does not continue to the nex pos.

I tested your code here and it runs as it should . You do realize that teh G73 is a peck drilling cycle  The Z will cycle up and down all the way to the bottom of each hole to break chips. IF that is not what you want you may want to try another drill cycle. From your main run screen press the Gcodes button and it will bring up a charts of all teh cycles pick a cycle and it will describe each cycle and how the call works.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

My Blue should be minus ;-)
Also TP on mine the Peck cycle does not work with the original. Hence the reason I changed it, although i only tested it on my demo version.

Wes make SURE that the peck cycle DISTANCE is set correctly. IF it is too low you may not see it happen .
