Tool Inspection


Recommended Posts

Anyone use Tool Inspection function in the grooving operation? MC 2019 Lathe. I have a grooving operation that  runs for an hour and would like to have the tool retract and the machine stop to inspect the tool periodically. Turned it on and set the parameters to my liking and it has no effect on the code when I re-post. Perhaps the post doesn't support it? I've poked around in the post and don't see any references to Tool Inspection. Post is for a Puma 2600SY dual spindle lathe. About 5 years old. Any input would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Post doesn't support it because that was right before or right around it was put into the software. You should grab the Generic 4 Axis Lathe post in Mastercam and post with it and see if it does what you need. If so then rob the logic out of that post and put it in your or get a hold of the originally post developer and have them add it for a fee.

i just pulled a file from mc2019 to verify, but 3 posts that were in the library and the 3 custom posts we have, seem to support 'inspections'. I just threw this together to verity.

If no value is put in the "comments" section ( i put "chips" in there) it will pull out the go right back to cutting without an "M00.

your post as ron said, will probably not have that due to its age.
