Canned Cycles Crash

[Rybat]

Today we had a tool crash that destroyed a .250 Pilot Reamer. This was a G code canned cycle generated by Gibbs.

G94 and G85 and retract were not recognized by UCCNC. The G94 does not really affect anything. The G85 however, fed down to the bottom and did not retract and then moved to the next hole , breaking the reamer and scrapping the part. Screen Captures are provided. The unrecognized codes are in red.

As you can see, our other canned drill cycles seem to be accepted just fine. We normally do use the peck cycle with no problems.

Hi Rybat,
I use canned cycle's often and I remember a while back I use to get quirky results with it. What fixed it for me was calling the return type (G98 or G99) before canned cycle type. I do not remember the version I was using or if this was ever fixed since I still follow this but I see you are using a old version and should update to latest stable version 1.2049. G85 is supported in 1.2049, not sure about 1.2035 though. Interested in seeing cncdrive's reply, I do remember posting of this but had no luck with search.

G85 was not introduced until 1.2040. You may want to select teh option for STOP on unknown Gcodes to prevent that from happening in the future.

Upgrade to 1.2049, and test it then.

[Rybat]

I'll perform the Update to latest version and advise.

Thanks

Quirky was a poor choice/incorrect word to use, after some thought the issue I had/remember was to use G99 it had to be called
beforethe canned cycle type otherwise the first hole used initial Z retract height.

Sorry for the useless info, just tested in 49 and this no longer exist and canned cycles works as it should. Clearly your problem is using and old version that didn't support G85.

I downloaded the Version 1.2049 Installer and ran it. I noticed during the install... I selected the default to overwrite the default profiles. I can only assume since I run Screenset2017 the I need to copy the default macros into my prior screenset profile....please advise

[ger21]

Are you using the default profile with the 2017 screnset? If not, you don't have to do anything.
If you are using the default profile, you'll need to recopy the 2017 macros into the default profile folder.

You really should not use the default profile at all, so that nothing changes when you update the software.

[Rybat]

Not using the Default. As Per your Instructions, I created a new profile. After the update to 1.2049, G85 was recognized and all is right with the World...On this machine....I have two.
