G Code Problems

Post by boots » Mon 12 Mar , 2007 19:52 pm

Novamill and Triac

VR Milling v2.28

Description of problem:
Machines will not respond to cutter compensation or peck drilling codes. G codes 40, 42, 42 and 83 respectively.

Are there functions in the normal G code series that the machine or software cannot handle? If there are, is there a fix for that issue? If not, please advise what codes will not work properly in order to rewrite my curriculum.

Thank You,

Cutter compensation worked on V2 milling, but was not very reliable. The software was completely re-written for this feature in Version 5 milling.

Again, G83 peck drilling has been re-written for version 5, and also works reliably.

Unfortunately, we can't support V2 milling for problems like this - thats why we did a lot of work on ironing out problems and adding features for version 5

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, however, an upgrade to V5 may well be worth doing.
