Helix - number of turns in nc code - sinumerik, mazak

[Juraj]

Hello,

when I output one turn of helix

( exactly 360 degrees)

( XY coordinates are the same, bellow start point.)

TURN number is 1 but machine does 2 turns.

In calculation there is floor number,in this case floor of 1 is 1.

When there is more or less degrees of helix then it works.

 I suppose in case of 2 turns, 720degrees, there will by TURN number 2 and machine will do 3 turns etc.

(I suppose that in mazak P number has the same behaviour on machine.)

What do you suggest for fixing this issue?

Thanks guys

Hello,

Which Controller you have?

How is your NC-Code?

I made an look in my posts and for the case that the helix pitch is equal to Delta(Z) divide by number of turns, I reduce number_of_turn by 1

set diff [expr abs($mom_pos(2)-$mom_prev_pos(2))]
if {[EQ_is_equal $diff [expr abs($mom_helix_pitch * $mom_helix_turn_number)]} {
set mom_helix_turn_number [expr $mom_helix_turn_number - 1]
}

hi,

thank you for answer,

I was thinking about exactly the same solution but I wasnt sure if there is some any other solution or logic in helix.

sinumerik, example nc code you want to see:

G3 X-22.5 Y0. Z130. I-2.5 J0. TURN=45.
