Can someone help me with editing the generic fanuc post for V9 Mastercam?  The machine is a Mori-Seiki MV-45 mill with a Fanuc 6m control.

I've alredy changed it to stage the tools, what I need now is to output T5001 for tool 1, T5002 for tool 2 etc., and just M6 for the tool change.  Since the tool is already in position.

Here is a sample program that was in the control that shows what is needed.

A big thank you to those that are willing to help.

I also need to know with V9 Mastercam where you add 20 to your tool diameter offset.  T1 post out D21 for cutter comp.

Thanks.

[K2csq7]

Wish I could help with adding the 20, the last time I looked at a V9 screen was 2003 (i think).


But for the post, I see you already have the "T5001" being posted... just not in the right spot.
If you can find the ltlchg postblock, post a screen shot of it.... (not sure if the variables are the same as they are now, need to see it).
BTW, this is a pretty simple thing to modify, a call to your reseller & they can probably do it for you pretty quick. And it will be done correctly (no guessing)

Keith A-1,

The program I showed was in the control of the machine, not one I posted.  The guy I'm helping with this, just bought this machine used, and they had 3 programs already in the control.

[K2csq7]

Sorry, I don't have V9 so I cant help much.  
If you want to, send me the post he is using, I could try and at least get you on the right track. But It will be a trial & error type deal.

[Roger]

Bump....

Please help....

175 views, but only one person replied.........That's sad.....I was working for this guy today, and answer part of my question on adding values to your tool number in the job set-up field before you do any toolpaths.

I started programing back with version 7 MC, so going back to V9 it's hard to remember how to do things.

I guess I'm going to have to install V9 on my computer, and mess with the post myself.  Anyone want to point me in the right direction?

v9 is a dead release.. not one person in 20 on the forum still has it installed

most win 7 computers can't even run V9 anymore  there's not much we can do to help

Roger,

Try contacting your Mastercam Reseller:

Well, the best way is to call your reseller. But if you want to give it a try, here is a couple thing you can do.
I dont have V9 any more in my computer, so i will try my best.
First of, BACK UP you post then try to locate this section in your post

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# FORMULAS - global formulas
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
toolcountn = toolcount + 1   # Index!
toolcountp = toolcount - 1   # Index!
tloffno_roger1 = tloffno + 5000
tloffno_roger2 = tloffno + 20
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

then find this section:

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Toolchange / NC output Variable Formats
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
fmt  T  4   t           #Tool No
fmt  T  4   first_tool  #First Tool Used
fmt  T  4   next_tool   #Next Tool Used  
fmt  D  4   tloffno     #Diameter Offset No
fmt  D  4   tloffno_roger2   #Diameter Offset No + 20
fmt  H  4   tlngno      #Length Offset No
fmt  G  4   g_wcs       #WCS G address
fmt  P  4   p_wcs       #WCS P address
fmt  S  4   speed       #Spindle Speed
fmt  M  4   gear        #Gear range
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

then find this section:

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Tool Comment / Manual Entry Section
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
ptoolcomment    #Comment for tool
      tnote = t
      toffnote = tloffno_roger1
      toffnote = tloffno_roger2
      tlngnote = tlngno
      tldianote = tldia
      "(", pstrtool, *tnote, *toffnote, *tlngnote, *tldianote, ")", e  


pstrtool        #Comment for tool
      if strtool <> sblank,
.
.
.

then find this section:

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Motion output components
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
pbld            #Canned text - block delete
      if bld, '/'
              
pfbld           #Force - block delete
      "/"  

pccdia          #Cutter Compensation
      #Force Dxx#  
      if prv_cc_pos <> cc_pos & cc_pos, prv_tloffno_roger2 = c9k
      sccomp
      if cc_pos, tloffno_roger2
        
pfxout          #Force X axis output
      if absinc = zero, *xabs, !xinc
      else, *xinc, !xabs

You should get it going somewhere.
Good Luck.
