4th axis indexing


Recommended Posts

Greetings Experts,

I have a couple machines that have indexers that are fired by an M code. I'm working with the mpmaster post. I would like the post to output the M code with the angle on it's own line.

this is what I'm currently getting

It looks like the A output is being forced, that's normally not the default condition for Mpmaster.

The OFF is a coolant conflict.

We will probably need a Zip2go or at least a post file.

Thanks nickbe10, I'll whip up a mock file since this is a customer file I'm working on and cannot share

I've made some progress. I deleted irrelevant parts of the program so it isn't so long. It's not outputting a move every line anymore. I've attached a new Zip2go file of my progress

M15 A0  <-------------   I have it putting out the M code but, I'd like to move it after the tool change and have it after every tool change
so if I have to go back to this operation and it's in a different plane, it will index correctly
