Mori Seiki NZX 2000 SY2 800

I am a new person to the board and this is my first question for anybody that may have input. I am trying to get our new machine to rigid tap in the main spindle without using a 90 degree live head. Below is how I have it programmed and have had no luck. We purchased the machine with the synchronized tapping option

N5(TAP HOLE SP1)
G28U0V0W0
G50S2000
G336T13.
G0T1313(TA-0.3750-16)
G99
G0G54Z.200M8
M621
G0X0.0
G97S300M3
M29S300
G84Z-1.0R0.0F.0625
G80
G0Z.200
M622
M300
G28U0
G28V0W0
M1
M101



When the tap gets to the bottom of the hole it alarms out with an ERROR saying to put machine in milling mode.

This is for tapping with a rigid tool in the turret using the spindle to rotate the piece.
We use a .375-16 h13 form tap

I have the R value at 0 on the G84 line because I already have a Z0 set above it. Any value i put in the R just makes the machine want to travel in a wasted move.

Thanks for any input

The way I understand, synchronized tapping is a milling function, not a turning function. We thread mill everything on our NZX.

And that makes you think what exactly?

I think you need to start back at the basics as far as coding and go from there, it seems like you are making an awful lot of assumptions with no real reason.

I believe the rigid tapping code is M329. Try that.

Mori apps engineer came in today and said I have it programmed correctly, BUT my machine didn't have the rigid tapping option, it is has to be installed by Fanuc.

M329 is for a cross live tool to synchronize to the spindle.
M29 is for the Synchronization of rigid non live holder with the spindle rotating the work piece.
