Hello,
I just joined PM and I was hoping to get a little help with Solid/Rigid tapping issue I'm having.
The Machine I'm using is a Kitamura MyCenter3x with a yasnac I80M controller I'm still just using HSM Express that I downloaded for free and is baked into my Solidworks.
My question is I have been trying to thread some aluminum parts using the solid tapping function and cannot get it to produce anything worthwhile. One weird thing is that HSM outputs a spindle speed at the beginning of the operation and then again in the G84 line of code. No matter what either one is set at before the tap goes into the part and while its initializing the spindle stops then begins to rotate very slowly while its descending into the part. I've deleted the Speed command in the G84 line and the same thing happens. I'm not quite sure what's going on or what if anything I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm attaching just a small example of the code I'm running for a tap cycle with a M10 x 1.5 hole. It looks like its working perfectly in the air but obviously something is off. I know that my spindle speed is too slow right now in the code below I'm just trying to keep it at something I can watch.
Thanks!
