    Mastercam to Anilam Drip feed Problem

    Hello
    I noticed today when drip feeding a small peck drill program that the canned part of the conversational program was not being seen by the controler it is moving to the hole locations with no Z movement. It's being sent ok but it's not working (pecking). Is there any settings in the Cimco Edit transmission that I should be looking at??

    ????

    Are you sure this is a Mastercam issue ?
    Can you take that part of the program into the control and run it from there ?
    if it runs ? then we look for another reason , eliminating possibiliities as we go.

    The problem may lay with the machine settings or the DNC setup, then,
    You may be asking in the wrong forum

    Someone else to add their 2cents ???

    First: It might be good to know which model of control are we talking about.

    Your drip feeding a drilling program? How many holes do you have?

    I agree with Superman. Isolate the drilling part of the program and just send that direct into memory, and run it. To see of the code is correct in the first place.
