Hi all,

I was recently trying to install a LNS Quick load bar feeder on Hitachi seiki TS15 lathe with seicos control. I have a few different diagrams that show the wiring a slightly different...

Thanks John,

I do have the manual with parameters in it. I just don't know where to look to turn the option on if that is even possible.

John,
I am attempting to work on my post processor to make the code look for like what you posted. However I was wondering if you knew if my machine doesn't have a C-axis like I had stated will the...

Another thing. I see that this code has a G17 in it. So far I have had to take out any G17 in the code I have tried our else I get an error/alarm saying incorrect plane. Not sure why however...

Thanks John. I will give that a try. As always your the man!

Hi all,

Can anyone post an example of a direct tapping piece of code. It has the seicos 21L controller. So far I have been able to use a generic Fanuc post processor for the turning opertaions,...

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

The machine is new to me and was moved a couple hundred miles in placed in my garage. I just got power to it about 3 weeks ago and it has been working fine. I went through and made sure all the...

Hi,
I have Edgecam 2012 revision 1. I ended up having my post processor add a G17 before the hole cycle which worked like a charm.

I now have another question. Is there a way to add a new CPL...

Thanks for the reply,

I actually tried running the full program today, everything went well until it got to the hole cycles. It did a rapid into the foam I was cutting then did a slow feed move...

Hello,

I am having an issue in a hole cycle in edgecam. When I load the g-code into
Mach3 i get an error that says "r number less than y value in xz plane.". The only way
I can get by this is...
