Puma 2500ttsy need to change x+ to x-

[unclepete]

Hello

I have a puma TT2500sy with fanuc i18 control . I am using the generic fanuc 4xmt-lathe post and i need to change X from - to +, also i would like it to come into the part z first then x and when exiting x first then z

Thank you

Pete

I found this change dia_mult from 2 to -2 in the post

I am still trying to approch the part z first then x

any one?

Note: changing the dia_mult from 2 to -2 in the post could cause you problems later on depending on what you are machining. The post has switches just for that as you will see bellow.

 

 

For changing the sign, save a copy of your post, look for this section and edit the section you need. for (X plane 0 is the letter I) and (X plane 1 is the letter L) and (X plane 2 is the letter O) I would only change one at a time and test. Note: make sure you count toe places for each letter because the editor could have shifted the the spaces. I would test each turret and spindle with some simple toolpaths to setup your post. Its a little work up front but a lot of time saved down the road.

#Machining position turret/spindle settings

# Switch strings based on turret position top/bottom-left/right and cut type.

# Turret position is based on the Mastercam settings (see lathtype).

# Strings are re-assigned for output in the routine psw_str_mult.

# The string variable sw_string holds the place position value to determine

# how to assign the strings. Planes are relative to the view from Mastercam.

# Assign the 17 digit string following the alpha columns below:

# A - C axis, 1 = axis winds, 2 = axis signed, 3 = indexer, 4 = shortest direction

# B - Spindle direction, 0 = normal, 1 = reverse

# C - Plane 0 arc/comp, 0 = normal, 1 = switch

# D - Plane 1 arc/comp, 0 = normal, 1 = switch

# E - Plane 2 arc/comp, 0 = normal, 1 = switch

# F - Plane 0, 0 = G17, 1 = G19, 2 = G18

# G - Plane 1, 0 = G17, 1 = G19, 2 = G18

# H - Plane 2, 0 = G17, 1 = G19, 2 = G18

# Decimal (required)

# I - Plane 0, X axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# J - Plane 0, Y axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# K - Plane 0, Z axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# L - Plane 1, X axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# M - Plane 1, Y axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# N - Plane 1, Z axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# O - Plane 2, X axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# P - Plane 2, Y axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# Q - Plane 2, Z axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

For change the approach and retract change the following in (ltlchg$, mtlchg$, and pl_retract, pm_retract )

 

For the approach

Change from this,

 

pcan1, pbld, n$, psccomp, *sgcode, pwcs, pfxout, pyout, pfzout,

pscool, strcantext, e$

 

Change to this,

pcan1, pbld, n$, psccomp, *sgcode, pwcs, pfzout, pscool, strcantext, e$

pfxout, pyout, e$

 

 

For the retract

Change from this,

 

pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgcode, pfxout, pfyout, pfzout, *toolno, e$

 

 

Change to this,

 

pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgcode, pfxout, pfyout, *toolno, e$

pcan1, pbld, n$, pfzout, e$

 

 

Hope this helps you out.

We have 2 of those machines here. I played around for months trying to do the samething, never could get it to work right. InHouse makes a great post for this machine, about $2000 if my memory serves me correctly. Small price for what we have invested.

 

Good Luck

It's 2014 and we still have people running their lathes in X-???
