B-Axis M62 callout


Recommended Posts

After completing two MasterCam classes and with my instructor praising mpmaster, ( he was a great instructor) I decided to try it out.

My current post works well, although I wanted to see what mpmaster has that's better. What I found out

already is a problem with the B-Axis rotation. This could simply be an adjustment, although I do not know

where to look. The following code is a snippet form my current post and mpmaster in which the b-axis

is a problem because I need a M62 on the same line as the "B" call out, followed up with a "M61" on the next line. The second issue is the transform-rotate

which does not post a "B" movement or M62 call out.

 

Thank you in advance for clarifications to this issue.

There is away to force the B output when there is no rotation, the current output for locking and unlocking is M10 & M11.

 

There is a line of code in the post block that handles rotation that will needed to be uncommented (remove the #)

 

Do a search in the post for lock and you will find the switch to turn on the locking output, also you will need to find the M10/11 address and it can be changed to M62/M61

 

As far as controling where the B axis and M62/61 code are output you will need to reset the order in the posf/ptoolchange common and the ptoolchange post blocks.
