    No rapids when Tapping

    about 12 months ago we had an hard drive replaced on our Arrow750 with Acromatic 2100, since then, when we tap, from the tool change to the job and when finished tapping back to the tool change the rapid is slow, this is only happening on tapping, can anybody put me in the right direction?

    That is strange. My machine rapids faster when tapping. I'd like to know what you find out.

    That sounds like a misplaced parameter. Have you already tested, to enter a G00 before the first movement?

    this happens not just on one particular job but every tapping job, only happened since a new hard drive was fitted, i was not at the company when it got fitted. i think it is a parameter but where? only place i have looked is in cycle parameters but cannot find anything relating to this
