Hello I recently converted my series 2 Bridgeport R2C3 to a TNC151a controller (thank you Gustafson for all the help) Anyways I want to reach out to other people's experience with this particular controller. I am have difficulty with overall understanding of the data to be inputed to run a helical interpolation according to page 52 and 53 in the programming manual. I got it to kinda work once, but Z stayed down at the end, so I added to the program XY 0 so that its back in the center (thread milling) and then retract the quill. I goofed somewhere and now I get a "reference angle missing" error when I try to start the cycle.
I'm totally new to Heidenhain controls, I'm more familiar to my Anilam crusader M on my other Bridgeport. So bare with me on the learning curve. Just to keep things simple and nominal, I've been trying to program a thread mill cycle for an internal thread, 3/4'' in diameter, 16 TPI, overall depth of 1 inch .372 cutter diameter and 1.2 inch shank.
Help with this is greatly appreciated as this is driving me nuts.
