The latest update of myCNC software (v1.88.4586) brings improvements to the drilling cycles within myCNC.

Added the following options:

  • G98/G99 for lift to initial height/height R
  • G83 for peck drilling cycle
  • G81 for single drilling cycle
  • G73 for drilling cycle with lift to clearance height
  • Drilling lift speed L - useful to avoid drill jams that would occur when lifting at standard jog speed

A sample drilling cycle that is used in the myCNC software is shown below:

G90 G21 G54.
G0 X50. Y50. Z3.
G0 Z10.
M3 S800
G98 G83 X0 Z-9. R1. Q1 P0.  F500 L1000
G98 G83 X10 Z-9. R1. Q3 J0.5 K1 P0. F500. L1000
G98 G73 X20 Z-9. R1. Q3 J0.5 K1 P0. F500. L1000
G98 G81 X30 Z-9. R1. Q3 J0.5 K1 P0. F500. L1000
G99 X40.
G80
M5

The above video has been provided to us by our client who has been implementing a plasma square pipe cutting setup.

Additionally, we will soon begin providing SheetCam software licenses for those of our clients purchasing a a controller for a pipe cutting machine. We have also recently began to provide a custom myCNC post-processor for SheetCam - more information on both of these options is available on request.

General information on pipe cutting is available in our documentation: http://docs.pv-automation.com/mycnc/pipe_cutting

Stay tuned for further updates!

The latest myCNC update (v.1.88.4543) brings additional kinematics options for different machine configurations.

Improvements are made to the Jewellery section, and two new configurations (XYZ_A and XYZ_B) are added for 4-axes setups.

You can update the application through the Support tab.

Stay tuned for further updates!

 

 For the convenience of our Eastern European clients, the myCNC-ET6 and myCNC-ET7 controllers are now carried by OSA-CNC in Ukraine. Controller support for the controllers purchased from their website will also be provided directly by OSA-CNC.

Please visit their website at osa-cnc.xyz, or contact them at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information about pricing structure and delivery details.

Happy shopping!

In the latest update of myCNC software, we have added global variable #7696, GVAR_CUTCHART_FEEDRATE_PRIORITY.

This variable will serve as a flag for determining speed priorities in myCNC:

 

  • if set to 0, then the F-code value for speed is used, if present
  • if set to 1, then speed from Cutcharts has a higher priority and the F-code is ignored

In addition to this, a new manual on speed priorities has been added to myCNC Documentation: http://docs.pv-automation.com/mycnc/speed_priority

This should hopefully serve as a helpful reference point for all information related to feed rate, simulation speed and other speed priorities within myCNC.

 

Stay tuned for more updates!
