Re: Thread milling with live tooling
hi g-code, i have a helix soubroutine, inside which i can control a few things :
... lead-in & lead-out movements : perpendicular line, tangent line, arch
... full circle when cutting depth had been reached ( disabled for thread milling )
... feeding on Z+ or on Z- ( i disabled this function inside my latest code variant )
... radius
... phase ( good to create multi-point start threads, or to generate custom infeed patterns for single threads )
... paterning possibility, so to repeat entire operation among a segment, or among an arch
... others :
...... machine specs : rpm, feed, spindle sense, coolant, etc
...... in operation work : clearance position on demand
if you combine the 'phase & radius' with the 'paterning', and there are many threads to be cut, you will be able to rough them with one tool, and finish them with another
i am sorry, i don't have codes for doosans; i shared these hoping to show the real possibilities that are available with parametric codes
even if the operation is not on spindle center ( thus excentric), it can be executed without using the Y axis ( thus only with XC interpolation), but it may perform smoother if Y axis is used / kindly
