Hey Guys,
We have a HTC-400 that was down for a few months that we just brought back online. Everything works great except for one thing... during a tapping cycle the spindle taps in the wrong direction! Its basically tapping as you would want it to IF you were using a LEFT handed tap, except that's not what we're doing. If you watch it during the tapping cycle (I am programming in Mazatrol) in the upper right hand corner of the position or command page where it shows all the G codes being used it shows a G84 which is just a regular ol' tapping cycle. Is there a parameter anywhere for this that would cause it? I've been comparing parameters to an identical machine with no luck. Anybody got any ideas?
