Posting Helical Milling
Posting Helical Milling
(OP)
I finally got around to importing "PB_CMD_helix" for arc output but our control seems to need an "R" on every line.
My circular move event has R toggled to force, but its not working on helical moves. For the hell of it I turned off modal for R, but now its putting an "R" on every X Y coordinate when using canned cycles.
Is there a simple fix for this?
Thanks

set mom_sys_helix_pitch_type "none"
and
set mom_kin_helical_arc_output_mode QUADRANT
Those two settings plus having R set to non modal should give you what you want. It works for me at least.

Matt-You're right, non modal works, but it was giving me extra "R"s on the canned cycles and the guys on the floor didn't like that.
Thanks everyone for quick response.
