Hi All
i currently have an issue with rigid tapping with an 8-32 unc tap , i am used to metric tapping but if i try and put a metric value to an imperial tap in the code the machine throws an alarm 61001 , which is telling me that it cant correlate the tap size with the pitch which in metric is 4.166mm x 0.794mm . Can anybody help please with the sample code

Does your pitch/ lead match the tap in the tool library? Are you using shop mill or din-iso code? Attach your code if you could

I'll have to look at it tomorrow when I get to work. Also have you tried re-compiling the mcall cycle84 line? Basically you put your cursor on the same line and either arrow to the right or hit the re-compile button? Sometimes sinumerick will see issues with a parameter and highlight it in red. I'm assuming your using a cam system?

Thanks, yes i am using a cam system , HSMWorks , i might give it a try and preview the code in there

[gerfmate]

hey thanks for the heads up , that worked a treat, i pulled the program into the machine and did as you mentioned . Yaaay after half a day of muckin around hehe , dont know why i didnt think of that :banana:

[ktmktmman]

No problem! I used that trick to help fine tune my post processor. If your having problems with a CYCLE call compare the parameters before you send it to the machine and after the control fixes any issues and have your CAM guy fix it.
