Machine stop (moo)

[Salt4cad]

Has anyone tryed to insert a machine stop, MOO using the canned text in the opperatins manager.

Every time I try it, it posts out after the tool comes down and not after the function itself. For example insert a m00.

Yea, thats the remidy, but shouldn't it work like it says, before..after. maybe the post can be changed to reflect it.

Salt,

When you use canned texted in the operations param., you set it 'Before' or 'After'. This is before or after the toolchange. See below.

code:

---

G91 G28 Z0.

G28 X0. Y0. A0.

M01

( 1/2 TOOL - 1 DIA. OFF. - 1 LEN. - 1 DIA. - .5 )

M00 <==== Canned text added 'Before'

T1 M6

G0 G90 G54 X1.006 Y3.2299 A0. S1833 M3

G43 H1 Z.1

M00 <==== Canned text added 'After'

The post determines where this comes out. From the mpfan:

code:

---

ptlchg          #Tool change                                        

pcuttype

toolchng = one

if mi1 = one, #Work coordinate system

[

pfbld, n, *sg28ref, "X0.", "Y0.", e

pfbld, n, "G92", *xh, *yh, *zh, e

]

pbld, n, "M01", e

pcom_moveb

c_mmlt #Multiple tool subprogram call

ptoolcomment

comment

pcan <===== place where the 'BEFORE' is handled

result = newfs(15, feed) #Reset the output format for 'feed'

pbld, n, *t, "M6", e

pindex

sav_absinc = absinc

if mi1 > one, absinc = zero

pcan1, pbld, n, *sgcode, *sgabsinc, pwcs, pfxout, pfyout,

pfcout, *speed, *spindle, pgear, strcantext, e <====== pcan1 and strcantext handle the 'WITH'

pbld, n, "G43", *tlngno, pfzout, scoolant, next_tool, e

absinc = sav_absinc

pcom_movea <==== this section calls pan2 which handles 'AFTER'

toolchng = zero

c_msng #Single tool subprogram call

---

So by playing with pcan, pcan1, pcan2 you can control where things come out.
