    Tap retract

    is there a way to increase the retract rate in a tapping cycle?
    on the Haas I used to run there was a parameter for this, the value entered was a multiplier, so If 2 was entered, the retract speed would be twice as fast

    thanks for any help,
    Kenny

    Depends on which control your machine has
    Which is ?????

    I know the OSP E100 has fast retract, maybe the E10 as well, P200-- yes,
    the 7000s and earier would not have it

    Best to check with Okuma for final comfirmation. or your Data Card in the back of the machine
    then if you have, then you can work out what parameters need setting to enable the function

    Don't remember details. I'm sure, we use taping with fast retract on exhibitions. OSP U100M. I didn't knew, that could be problem with retract speed.
    Check what taping cycle You use.

    U700M .... you sure ??? not a 700M or 7000M .... the last 2 ... pretty sure they do NOT have fast return tapping

    OSP U100M .... yes, it does have fast un-threading, it has to be enabled in the parameters , no change to the program at all, I think you can also have sync. tapping happening on G84 as well.

    Not at work, so I can't look up the numbers for you, sorry.......someone else ???

    OK I probably got the U700M wrong
    I'm at home with the U100M book next to me and I thought the other machine model read the same way
    It must be a 700M, I know its not a 7000M

    Thanks for setting me straight

    The book I have for the U100M is the programming manual and it doesn't cover the parameters but I'll have access to all the books monday at work.

    I appreciate the help - now I know where to look.
