Will someone post or email some programming example of a tap cycle. Specifically CYCL DEF 209 TAPPING W/ CHIP BRKG but 207 or 206 floating would be a big help. I don't get an alarm, but I also don't get an tapped hole. Spindle comes down to xy then z point then the spindle looks like it releases from being engaged -it does a 1-degree wiggle- then home and done. Sans guzinta. CNC and control do have tapping. With no alarms popping up, it must be me and it must be simple because i am simple.
We do have a Heidenhain 426 at work, but not equipped with tap capabilities, so I'm told. I have only just begun figuring out Heid'ies programing language & machine tool functions. I do have manuals if they are similar to your 530 control? Would appreciate if you figure it out, to post the code showing that. Thx
I've been working on 530 for last two and a half years and 420 before that. I'm at home so if you can post or email me a blank code I will fill it in for you. Jerry
Jerry, sounds like your the Heidi guy? If you have second, could you post the code to sweep a like a 1"rad across X using Y-Z with say a 1/4"ball EM?- Any example will do, can't be that hard. I'm close. I've put in the example in the book, but it does not seem to be working properly with my dim's input. I'm a newbee to Heidi's conversational. Aint like no other I've run across. Kinda funuc macro/type hybrid- in a "league of its own". Actually really nice. They were way ahead of there time, considering its a mid 90's setup. I think it can blow away Hurco at certian things? If I can figure out how to hook the laptop up to it, one of these days, I'll pull out some of the prog's to play with. The other opition I have with this beast, is using ISO. Any experience with that? Any help would be appreciated. FYI this machine was never really used to its full capabilities, by what I'm seeing. Only been at this place for 8mo now - still learning
I will try to make that program tomorrow if I have few minutes. I don't program in ISO as Heidenhain is way nicer. Jerry

Jerry, Thx. The guys in the shop I'm at say that they could never get the machine to tap. Saying it has to be equipped from the mfg. for taping? & also use a floating tap holder? Both are also mentioned in the manual. Hell I've never seen a CNC that could not G84 tap?, with or without a nice ext./comp.-slip clutch tap holder. Well I'm learn'in sumpin new???? Like I stated previously Heidi's way is different. We don't do alot of taping, plus we work with Titanium- real bear to tap. IMO Its not worth the chance on breaking a tap on, because usually 1 or 2 pcs in the order. TI is $$$ & so is EDM tap removal. My main concern is, an easy way to sweep simple Y/Z or X/Z contours across the block. The prog. manual has examples, but me not being familiar with all the commands, like CT CC ect. makes it confusing to apply to my work. Shit today I just figured out repeat label with an incremental Z (IZ)
- the old loop tape method., only the repeat command counts how deep to go the the incremantal Z. Sweet! sit back,relax & let the machine do the work. This thing is like play time for me. Being on a weirdo ANAYAK & no toolchanger! I took a 3"wide 5mm dp. cut in TI the other day, the whole machine osilated & howled! Never hear nothing like that before. Nothing happend to the carbides on the face mill (positive 3/4"round inserts), it was just as it entered on the part. After it was in the cut no probelem. Sure did turn some heads. hehehehe. It has to be the way the machine tool is designed. The Y travels the Z column with it, not like most bed type mills where the Z is stationary & X/Y travel on the bed. Must have been like the way covers, kinda tiny tattle sound?? thanks again for your help. If time permits & the opertunity comes up, I would like to try your taping prog., even if its just to cut some air :-)
I have never seen a CNC machine that could not tap. You may not be able to rigid tap but with a floating holder you should have no problem. As for CC it means circle center and you need it for C (circular) and CP ( circular polar). CR only needs end position of circle and radius. The biggest fun on this control is to use variables (Qs). You can use it for simple stuff like changing depth of cut , cutter compensation and such but if you get really good with it you can actually use it for quite complex surfacing. Is your control 426 or 530? Jerry

Ya your right CNC's all tap - I've put 1/2 * 3/8 taps in drill chucks & taped. After a few holes the tap pushes up(always), just feed hold, rejust & go!
Heidi's converational looks very powerfull for easy 3D shapes. It's just nobody ever dove in to it to make it work to its full extents previously at my place. Plus the boss like's Hurco's & so do I. Too bad, not much effort is going to be spent on the ol Heidi/Anayak. The table is huge, they could realy use a 4axis with a center/tailstock to cut round pcs to rectangle on the ends. Could even be a cheaper 4pos indexer? & the head swivels & looks like the control can be reset on that plane angle for axis travels? They are looking down the road of CNC lathe with live tooling.
Below are two simplest examples to do rad. One milling in X and other milling along the rad. Jerry

Hmmmm......... its a gear drive head. max RPM 4K! hehehehe. But I'm not allowed to use that much. Aparentley the head heats up after??? & all the seals peuch oil. Oh boy..... kinda reminds of the ol Cincinnati Milcron 10v 2000 gear drive head. The first hour in the morning hydraulic oil seeped down to & thru the lower spindle outter bearings. We had a tin drip pan under the spindle for about 10min with it running to catch the drain oil. Run when first Turing on the spindle, else your very spotty after that. Well today was another learning experience on the beast. Heidi's way to mill a circle. WTH? Its just me. Not used to their "lingo" It aint G98/G99 fer rapid & travel planes- no damn R plane......... I'm lost. No G2/G3 its RL RL. Ah its just another language to add to all the rest of the cultural melting pots I've been in. DOS,UNIX,LINUX,WinBlows, Chinese,Polish,Laos,German,Russian,Swede, & of course See Habla press uono for gringo - dose for espanyol.
Hey anyone know about TIVO's? I wana hack into mine. Its an old Series
2 40hr record time. Works sweet! fer 20bucks at a garage sale. Their video play back/recording/FFwd/frame-frame is far superior my DishNetwork satellite DVR. By what I'm finding, its a Linux computer, programed to do what Tivo lets you to do. Not good enough for me. I want full control of the DVR/hard drive & file structure. I dont care about signing up for a tivo contract.
Here is a spot/drill/ rigid peck tap I got out of our CAM after some post tweaks. I am not versed in any Heidenhain programming so the structure may be off. Comments welcomed. But the trick was to get the post to issue hole locations after the cycle is defined. Then called with an M99 or a Location CYCLE CALL couplet.
Can the cycles all be defined then called later on in the program or must it be cycle/motion cycle/motion ?
And just in case you have concerns about running Internet servers out of drive space ..... I didn't want to edit the program for length lest I delete something which might lead to confusion.

Every time you define a cycle like drilling or taping it takes precedence over any pervious cycle. If you are changing only one of the cycle parameters like say depth all you have to do is describe new Q value. For example you drill hole 1" deep (Q201=-0.055 ;DEPTH) before next hole you may describe Q201=-1.5 and next hole drilled with M99 will be 1.5" deep. Same with any other Q value in cycles. You could make a say LBL 10 with any cycle in it and call it up when needed. If you want to make your program smaller you can edit it like I did with your program below. All your positioning is in a label and is called up with every tool. Don't worry about the block numbers. When you send it to your machine it will rearrange it.

Thanks for your posts. Norman at Bostomatic, too.
Here is a spot/drill/ rigid peck tap I got out of our CAM after some post tweaks. I am not versed in any Heidenhain programming so the structure may be off. Comments welcomed. But the trick was to get the post to issue hole locations after the cycle is defined. Then called with an M99 or a Location CYCLE CALL couplet.
Can the cycles all be defined then called later on in the program or must it be cycle/motion cycle/motion ?
And just in case you have concerns about running Internet servers out of drive space ..... I didn't want to edit the program for length lest I delete something which might lead to confusion.
Thanks guys for the posts on Heidi's cycles. Looks like the 530 control has a lot more cycles than than the ol 426 I'm on.
Billynevada: What CAM system outputs Heidi format? I was thinking only ISO? Also guys, what machine tools is the control on?
Last Fri, I had a 24"sqr electrical cabinet the service guys wanted a "nice" 5" hole thru. What a fascicle. Setup top of the 2 kurts clapmed to wood. There was about 3/16-1/4" clearance to get the tool over & in. I thought I had more, but turns out the last little bit, maybe 1/2" of Z travel close to the upper limit switch is not usable during cycle. Only took an hour or so to figure that out. So after machine alignment, Z backs off the upper switch, so that position is max Z.
What's the cycle to just plunge & mill a circle- letting letting the slug fall? I only found pocketing(taking the middle out), but thats not what I wanted. Maybe there is no cycle, & its just input of circle cent & rad? Remember I have a vintage 1996 - 426. Hey that sounds like an old Hemi moter only 66-426?
Hi cncmillgil. It is so easy to mill a circle like you describing there is no sense to use a cycle. All you do is to go to center of your pocket and down in Z and CC IX0 IY0 LP PR 2.5 PA 0 RL F ICP +360 DR+ Done. If you want to do this on 426 with a cycle you can lie to the control and add an even round number to you comp and the same to rad of your circle. This way cutter will go straight to the edge of your circle. We have Butlers, Correas and DMG with this control in our shop and if you programming on the machine and you are good you can program it faster than any other control I have ever seen. Jerry

I'm beginning to understand the format of Heide's language, finally! Got a lot of cycles down now,labels/repeats ect. Complex print geometry can be done with very little calulations. Heck, I'm a Hurco head, so for comparison, take away Hurco's DXF & I think Heide may be faster & smarter math wise. So, my standing question: How do I circular interpolate in Y-Z or X-Z? Being an ol ISO g-coder, Its G18/19 plane select, then I/J/K circ-cen. G2/G3- G91 increm. over- ect. How does that translate to Heide? Say I want to sweep a convex 1"R. across a 5"?(x or y) block using a 1/4"ball EM, taking .025" step overs? Sweeping simple 2.5D contours across blocks is a lot of what my place does. It aint rocket science, I was doing work like this back in '80, hand coding & manualy punching mylar tape, splicing the ends together to make a continuese running loop tape, by switching on block-delete / after prog is started, operator stops it after it runs off the block or before it cuts into the table.
In one of my replays above I showed you how to put a rod on an edge. That sample is for a 0.5" rad but the principle is the same. There arte a lot of ways to do it but those are the two simplest.

Help Mr. Wizzard Help! This F'in Ol Basdard 426 will be my bitch some day......... Ain no damn CNC freekin control gonna intimadate me I'm good at fegger'in out stuff ya no..........:-) Like back in 95, A Mitsubishi v55 with the M2a control. that was another sleeping giant. Slow as a turtle but a great moldbase machine.
Ok overall consensise so far, about 25-50hrs actual machine time over the last 9mo. Heidenhain 426 conversational input on Anayak VH1800. Its a bitch The thinking mentality , logic, behind the the predefined cycles are different than today. Gotta remember they did not have & readily avalaible, good CAM systems to get data feed to the machine & get'r running. Besides Mastercam/Smartcam/Sufcam early 90 ish. High end systems McD/Slumberje?/CV/Camax/IT/ were the few REAL cam systems out there, and were few & far between. So take a shop floor guy & give'em a way to get basic geometry off basic prints in to the machine, let the control do all the hard trig math, with a few "rules" for those cycles & wala! Yer cut'in 3D shit with cycle looping /inrementaly progressing & multi passing milling controled by number of repeats stuff. Plus while the machine is running, next up programs can be witten/ screen tested(backploted),pre difined work offsets calculated(programing in background). & it has its own user defined macro input called "Q" programs for "family of parts" type work. . Make a d It's input & editing key functions & terminolgy are kinda funky as comparied to US? IE: no entry=3Dclear entry - NC start=3DCycle Start NC stop=3Dinterrupt cycle/feed hold. It's ok, but just makes you think for a second. The reasoning is, that control was put on all kinds of machines, prolly robots & other cnc controled equipt. So across the board terminolgy is used. Its just another Freekin machine tool. Another notch in the belt. Gonna need a bigger belt here soon. As I said before, I will own you bitch! You are a piece of ancient shit. But you still work, so this crazy ol moldmaker is gonna have some fun with you, with your big ass 50taper (no tool changer) 30hp gear drive dick head shaped head. This machine tool is what happens when German engineering & Spanish engineering get together. WTH? were they thinking? Freekin goof balls. Such a big ass machine but not enough rigidity to hold large face mills from deflection - noticed on mainly exit off of part. Just slightly, again noticalble by cutter marks (trailing & leading edge) & size measurement. +-.001 over 4"dia face mill. Not so much head out of sqr as seen from stepover, but deflection in direction of travel. Its gotta be not enough strength by desgin of the physical head shape. It looks like a swivel dick sticking out of the Y carrage. This compact swiveling head design was intended for a purpose.? Maybe tall cores/ castings with small corner radii? Thus the head could be swiveled to gain access way down vertical walls? Its big enough & strong enough to preform very well at jobs like that. Kinda reminds me of giant version of the old Bridgeport "Quilmaster" head. With a huge X(70") Y Z travels open bed, full front loading - door access. You just don't see the likes of one of these too often. I dont think this beast has ever been fully tammed. This shop has been "captive" so production output was not much? Any hoot, its a play thing for me, as I feel semi-retired at 52. I just do this shit so I dont get bored, as can be clearly seen here, by me wasting my time here
Ya Ya you know, Its German..........the BEST! oh sorry Swiss,& Norwegian guys.
