redundant coordinates


Recommended Posts

Using X6 lathe with a modified generic post proccesor.

I am getting redundant coordinates on my posted programs.

For example, on a peck drilling cycle, machine rapids to X0.0

like it should but then every line with a

Z feed also outputs a not needed X0.

 

 

N1 ( NO.18 DRILL )

G00 X1.5Z4.0

G97 S1577 M13

T9090

X0.Z.5

Z0.

G98 G01 X0. Z-.02 F4.04

G00 Z0.

Z-.017

G01 X0. Z-.05

G00 Z0.

Z-.047

G01 X0. Z-.08

G00 Z0.

Z-.077

G01 X0. Z-.11

G00 Z0.

Z-.107

G01 X0. Z-.14

G00 Z0.

Z-.137

G00 Z.4

 

This can chew up a lot of memory on my control and can be an issue on longer programs.

Same thing happens with turning tool paths. Any ideas?

Open your post and look for plinout. Paste the code from this post block. Default should look like this:

 

plinout		 #Output to NC, linear movement - feed
  pcan1, pbld, n$, psgplane, sgfeed, pexct, psgcode, psccomp, pwcs, pxout,
    pyout, pzout, pcout, pfr, pscool, strcantext, e$
  if rpd_typ$ = 7, ptool_insp	  #Tool inspection point

 

pxout may be pfxout this forces the X coordinate to be output on everyline.
