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
