Hello,
We have two seats of advanced turn, one r10 the other r11.5. When we post the
same code
through the same code generator, the v10 puts out correct code and the v11.5
does not.
Specifically, we are programming a lathe with live tooling. The live head is
rotated at 90 degrees so it cuts parallel to the Z axis. We are using the head
to drill
in to the face and make a bolt circle. The tool
rapids to the proper X location
then to a Z clearance
then cuts along a line to depth
then rapids out of the hole
finally the c axis (spindle) rotates to the next hole location.
We do not want to use the drill cycles because we often have to put holes in
faces where there is only .03 Z clearance or less to get the head into location
and need to control every aspect of the movement to avoid a crash.
Everything on v10 works fine but v11.5 leaves out one important detail,
it rapids to the clearance point,
enters the start profile section of the Code Generator and feeds to the
start of the line
it ignores the line section in the Code Generator altogether and simply
rapids back to the clearance point.
Has anyone seen this errant behavior between the two revisions? We have tried
every setting for question 443 in the SMF file and nothing seems to work. Looks
like
we are going to have to roll back to V10.
