Hi All, For the threading cycle (G84) on our DeckelMaho, instead of providing a feedrate, we just enter a value "J" which is the pitch of the thread. Trouble is, when I try to capture the pitch from the JOS to use it in the .tmp the jos tag "JOS(pitch) returns the fractional rep of the pitch. How do I get the .tmp to convert this into decimal format?
This is the section in question: // hole tap @OP_TAP < #COOLNT> #EVAL(#S2=JOS(pitch)) < #ABSI>< #CYCLE Y#CHKD J#S2 Z-#ZDPTH S#SPEED #SPNDL> #EVAL(#ZPOS=#ZCHK-#CHKD) G79< X#XPOS>< Y#YPOS>< Z#ZPOS> @@CYCLE 0,G84 @ thanks in advance -ernie
