made a simple spotdrill program below, now the spotting works fine its just when it gets to line N35 it stops, im sending this program from my desktop, you watch the screen on the machine and there is nothing after N35? it just stops after it spots X-4.6121? is this a comunications error? i tried sending a toolpath from a different part and it was a long program and it worked fine? am i doing something really stupid? thanks for any help guys.

machine is a 30-16 1994 fadalHT

Renumber the progam you left one line number out between n13 and n14

Also make sure you have no comma in the program. this pc I have is too small so I cant see if there all periods or not.


Usually on a canned drilling cycle if your missing a line number or they are out of sequence you have problems however I always found that to to be true after the canned cycle. but it might be worth a try anyhow.
lets say your next tool has some of the same line numbers in it, it will sometimes jump to that next line number skipping the ones in the tool your running..

I scrapped a good drill chuck becuase of that mistake a while ago, drill chucks dont like to be used as endmills

[Delw]

you also left out 2 line numbers on the bottom too make sure you add those as well
and there is a % after your program number this needs to be before.
told you I was blind, I am seeing this stuff after I replied
also at the end your missing G00 numbers at the end
heres what it should look like
also you have a g54 and a E1 you only need a E1 or a G54 depending on what format your using.
not to be an ass but your program is very sloppy. I will show you how mine is
again I am not trying to be an ass

and it still stops at the same line! thanks again for any help

[Delw]

can you just load that program into the machine and run it form the machine
instead of dnc'ing it?

[rob jerico]

i would rather find out why its not working with dnc since i never use the control on the machine

[rob jerico]

you also left out 2 line numbers on the bottom too make sure you add those as well
and there is a % after your program number this needs to be before.
told you I was blind, I am seeing this stuff after I replied
also at the end your missing G00 numbers at the end
heres what it should look like
also you have a g54 and a E1 you only need a E1 or a G54 depending on what format your using.
not to be an ass but your program is very sloppy. I will show you how mine is
again I am not trying to be an ass

ok i ran the program you modified with mine and it worked, im spotting different size holes and when i canceled the first cancycle with g80 its doing what it was doing before, its now reading the next cancycle and spotting about 5 holes then stops again. can i send anyone my full program to look at? thanks guys

[rob jerico]

im posting this program here, im off to my real job (im doing this at home), if someone could look at this it would help me out of a jam, thanks again guys

[machinist_1]

Are you posting this or are you doing this on some sort of editer (note pad)?

[Neal]

Rob--
If you email me the file that is in your control as an attachment, I'll look at it. I think you may have some hidden characters embedded. I can look for these items anad get rid of them for you.
