Post Help needed for Bostomatic 12G

[jimspac]

Hi all, I am working on modifying a Bostmatic 312 post to work for a Bostomatic 12G. I have contacted my reseller and the post wizard is unavailable today . I have made some changes to the pst that has resulted in closer to desired code. What I still need to do is to have G40 on last linear line enabled. The post currently generates code that tries to toolchange while G41,G42 is active(no G40 posted). I am getting good code when using BPT Boss 9 pst and editing for Bostomatic compatibilaty. Any help here is appreciated.

Find the section of the post that has something like this:

 

code:

---

sg40     G40

sg41 G41

sg42 G42

---

and add another line to the end

 

code:

---

sg40     G40

sg41 G41

sg42 G42

sg140 G40

---

I think that's all it needs.

Thanks for the response, but my post already has that

Perhaps the G41 or G42 were forced out of the post. If you search for G41 and find it enclosed in "'s then the post logic would be unaware that cutcomp was enabled thus allowing it to merrily blow thru your tool change or anything else without issuing any G40. Wait for the post guru.

I see you're in CT. Whereabouts?

Close to Newington, Email me, I do not pinpoint location on forum.

The G41,G42 are normally displayed and active. The control faults at the next toolchange because cutter comp was not canceled.

I just posted my 'mill post test file' with MPBOSS9 and the G40 posts fine

 

make sure you have 'sccomp' in the plin, prapid, pzrapid, pcirp0, pcirp1, and pcirp2 postblocks

I modified the Boss9 pst for Bostomatic output and now get the exact code I need. The Bostomatic pst was too far out for me to handle. I was using the Boss 9 pst to get arc formats then editing in the Bmatic formats to get workable code. The Bmatic pst was not outputting G40, Boss 9 was fine.

 

Thank you for those that have responded.

Did you check this?

Chris, also turn on the debugging in the post that gives you the CRC values you want, then you can look at that section in the post you're working on to see the differences.
