What did I do to my post??

[Lars Christensen]

Hi guy's

I have been playing so much with my post, and I thought I had marked all the places were I was editing. Then this happens, and I can not figure out what is trickering this. What I am talking about is line N892, I dont have a problem with the Z.7 move, but the X Y move scared the heck out of me. By the way it is a countur toolpath, in Mcam 8.1.1

 

Machine output:

( 3/8 SPOT MILL TOOL - 2 ) ptlchg ptoolcomment

N882 G0 G53 X-16.0 Y0.0 ptlchg

N884 T2 M6 ptlchg

N886 G0 G53 Z4.4 ptlchg

N888 G0 G90 G110 X.102 Y.5 S6000 M3 ptlchg

N892 X0. Y-.5 Z.7 pzrapid prapidout

N894 X.102 Y.5 prapid prapidout

N896 G1 G41 D2 Z.53 F1.5 plin plinout

LARS,

 

This thread has some code by Steve Biehl that prevents 3 axis rapid moves. Thanks Steve! Ignore my comments, just read Steve's

 

Old thread

 

Also, there is a 'Question' in the post that asks if you want to break up xyz rapid moves. (doesn't always work)

Lars - your e-mail is not aviaible, just curious what part of upstate you are from?

[Storkman]

Wally, what part of Rochester?

[Wally]

Down town - Exchange Street. A block from the War Memorial.

[Storkman]

Been there a few times. Did Rochester have their toolshow already?

[Wally]

Ya - a couple months ago. Bought a new Robo Drill there. A sweet machine.

BerTau,

I got stuck with some WEDM, so I did not have a chance to test it.

 

Wally,

I am right around the corner from you, Gates.

Living down in the Warsaw area.
