Canned Cycles problem

Dear forum members,
i have a problem with de canned cycles in turning, i choose a operation of peckdrill and in theory it should return a G83 but it does not.
Please help me about it.

Hi Cale,
if you have solved this problem please post.
If not your might like to supply a bit more information, screen shots of you peck operation dialogue etc.
It is unlikely anyone can help you with a question that lacks any detail.
Cheers - Paul

Sure, sorry.
I’m using this post and this is the output that returns.

With these parameters. I use the version 2021 SP.

Thank you, Cheers.

Hi Cale,

It is likely that it goes wrong somewhere along the pipeline
Below the example for the general canned cycles in a milling environment.

The image shows the location of the "Machine_all.mdf in the installation folder
This, or any other .mdf file should be loaded in your Cam machine form
The contents of that .mdf file, you are using needs to have a section, cycles_def, of which I have copied an example below:

The first word after “Cycle” is the name of a canned cycle
One of those is connected to your cam drilling operation and defines the parameters for posting
The post processor needs to connect the G83 to the correct output_def Variable string

So, check your post processor to find out where the G83 cycle is looking for in the output_def section.
It might be just a wrong syntax of the cycle name

Cheers!
