Re: Rigid Tapping Question

This is the post I had seen using Fusion 360 with Centroid and rigid tapping. I believe they are using the same post that I am.

Re: Rigid Tapping Question

If I choose to use a tapping head, do I simply disable rigid tapping in the wizard?

Re: Rigid Tapping Question

I thought I had seen others using Fusion 360 and rigid tapping with Centroid. I had no idea that this would be an issue.

Re: Rigid Tapping Question

Thanks again for getting back to me so quickly. A bit disappointing news. I am still learning both Fusion and G-code, so some of this is a bit over my head. I too played with the "use feed per revolution" and it made no difference. Before attempting rigid tapping, I posed the question on t...

Re: Rigid Tapping Question

Thanks! I did not see an option for "use canned cycles" or similar, so I am curious as to what settings you are using. Thanks for your reply.

Rigid Tapping Question

I setup a test sample with Fusion 360 to experiment with rigid tapping holes for the 1st time. The test sample has a number of holes that I intend to drill and tap using machining wax so I can tweak the mill's rigid tapping parameters to achieve the best possible tapped holes. On the Design side, I ...

It looks like the driver is a JASD. I have attached this manual. From: Holly-JMC <sales1@jmc-motion.com> Sent: ...

Re: Commanded Speeds Vs Actual Spindle Speed

Thanks for your quick response! I agree that the difference of two hundred RPM will have no effect on the parts I am milling. My goals is to have the lower commanded rpm as accurate as possible as I am getting ready to start rigid tapping. I think for now I will leave everything as is and try to do ...

Re: AC Servo suggestions?

I purchased a 2.6KW JMC servo for a spindle motor for myself on ebay, then ordered another one for a friend directly from JMC. The 2.6KW servo with driver delivered to Texas was about $500.00. My contact at JMC is: Holly sales1@jmc-motion.com They were very accommodating and helpful with a few techn...
