What's missing for this to work?

Modified MPLFAN.pst on a ZL250 Mori

Tap orientation (cross or face)

 

code:

---

fmt  T  9   tap_orient  #Mill tap orientaion

 

 

ptap_orient

#T1. = side tapping right hand thread

#T2. = face tapping right hand

#T3. = face tapping left hand

#T4. = side tapping left hand

# tool_op 55 == z

# tool_op 56 == x

 

if tool_op = 55,

[

if spdir = 1, tap_orient = 2

if spdir = -1, tap_orient = 3

]

if tool_op = 56,

[

if spdir = 1, tap_orient = 1

if spdir = -1, tap_orient = 4

]

 

 

mtap #Canned tap cycle, mill

pdrlcommonb

feed = 1/n_tap_thds

dec_speed = speed

retr_speed = peck1

if retr_speed > (dec_speed * 2), retr_speed = dec_speed

ptap_orient

pcan1, pbld, *sgdrlref, pgdrlout, pxout, pyout, pzout,

pcout, prdrlout, pffr, *dec_speed, *retr_speed, "M68", *tap_orient, strcantext, e

pcom_movea

All I get is T0. everytime.

Should be T1.,T2.,T3.,T4.

2 things to try

 

make sure that the tool_op is being accessed

 

by adding ~tool_op before the if statements.

 

also you are using spdir for testing try adding

 

~spdir to see what values are actually being tested
