Spindle issue during tapping

I am getting an error "Collision between cutter of the tool "13" and cut stock with spindle off at record".

Fanuc 18i control

N4030 G00 G90 X-2.45 Y-1. (B90.) G59
N4040 G43 H[#940+7] Z2.37
N4050 G[#922] (G95)

N4070 G99 G[#924] (G84) Z1.3763 R2.37 F.03125
N4080 G80
N4090 G94

How do I fix this issue?

Re: Spindle issue during tapping

Is your return to initial plane correct in your .ctl file? (G99)
If so, then what is the model? Is it an .stl?
I have issues with holes & .stl files.

Re: Spindle issue during tapping

My issue is that Vericut thinks the spindle is off when tapping, so I'm looking for info on how to fix my .ctl file that will state that the spindle is on.

Re: Spindle issue during tapping

M[#923] (M29) S582

do you have your control file setup to have it recognize

M[#923] as SpindleMotionCW in the control word/address?

That would be my guess.

Re: Spindle issue during tapping

M[#923] as far as Vericut is concerned is M29. I have a "dry run" mode setup in my programs that the operators can turn on or off as needed. In this case M[#923] is either M29 or M05. M29 turns on the rigid tapping. In the Word/Address M29 is showing;

M29
     **
          IgnoreMacro

M29 is used for both right and left hand threads. Do I need to add both SpindleMotionCW and SpindleMotionCCW? In cycles G74 (LH) and G84 (RH) are both showing;

G74 (G84)
     **
        Variable 4009
        Variable 4209
        CyclesTap

Please excuse my ignorance, I'm trying to learn. That's why I'm using this forum instead of letting Support handle this.
