Need Help on Cincinnati 950 control setup

Thayden · 2005-03-17 05:50:32

Iâ€™m trying to setup a Cincinnati 950 ctl file for a 5-axis machine to recognize G180 series canned cycles. The G180 series is used for drilling angled holes. The format is G181Xn.nYn.nZn.nPn.n with the XYZ as the point on the surface to be drilled and the P as the incremental depth along the vector the tool is on. The vector is determined by the current A-axis and C-axis position. The r-plane value is a parameter set in the control which we have at .1 .

Any information or help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
I have T35's and Magnum HVC800's with A950 controls. I have the G184 working via a subroutine. Send me your email in a private message via this forum, and I will send you my control file and subroutine.

We have T35 with Acromatic 950 control. Last year, I tried to make the G180 cycles to work, but I could not. I could find from CGTECH that next version will include this feature. If you have done it, I like to do the same for our control file too. Can you send me intructions how to do that? I do not know how to send private message using this forum

Thanks
Kantha (my email address is kantn@midaero.com)

Kantha,
Ok, I will send you my control file and G184 subroutine.
To send a PM, just click the "PM" icon in one of my posts.

We did this a few years ago. Took some trial and error, but got it working directly in the control file for G181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186 and 189. Also we have G81-89 defined for when the head is not tilted.

Contact CGTECH support, they should have an outline of how to do it. (They had me send them a copy.)

One of the demo machines/pictures they used for years, (Still using?) was a 5 axis with an Acromatic 950 control.

I have set these cycles for a customer on a Cinci. In the control, G180-G189 are using the same macros as G80-89.

The settings should be changed:

Setup > Control > Settings; Cycles tab

Cycle Return Level = Clearance+Retraction
Cycle Clearance Distance = .1
Cycle Rapid Method = Part Surface (CINCI)
Cycle Depth Value = Incremental
Cycle Incremental Depth Value = Relative to Part Surface
Cycle Rapid Value = Incremental
Cycle Incremental Rapid Value = Relative to Cycle Initial Level

Serge,
There is more to it than that.

I tried all the settings you listed, and with the A-axis vertical (A-90.), the cycle should drill down in -Y-. It moved -Z- in.

You need macros for the "P" address CycleXyzDepth?

SergeV · 2005-05-19 15:52:22

I have set "P" as "CycleDepthInv".

Make sure that the conditions with each word are covering for G180-189.

Example:

K *, with G 83 calls CycleStepValue

should be modified to:

K *, with G 83 138 calls CycleStepValue
