Okuma Tool Output Format

[Nathan G. Baldwin]

Hey Guys and Gals

I'm sure this is a duh, but I'm having trouble changing the tool output format to 6 digit a.o.t.

4 digit. The post is MPLOKUMA

I have changed the format statement to go 6 places instead of 4, and they are curently setup as leading.

What more can I do?

 

I have looked at the toolcommon section and it looks as though an if/then/else statement changes the output based on the value of CC_pos

How do I change this to output T010101 instead of t0101?

 

Thanks In advance

current actual post output looks like this:

 

T000101 M06

 

I'm sure somebody's talked about this before but after 4 different searches I gave up and started a new topic.

If anyone knows where this has already been discussed, please let me know.

 

Thanks,

If memory serves me correct. One is the tool, one is the length and the last the dia offset. So you need to look in the post to Tool call and then where the length and dia are called. You need to combine it all in to one statement at the toolchange and start up of the post. The length and dia may have to be forced but should be that big of a deal.

 

HTH and is clear enough to follow.

HTH?

We always use the Txxxxxx format so this works.

Crude, but it works.

I believe it normally only puts out the 6 digit format if nose comp is used.

All of you post experts please try to keep the snickering under control

 

 

ptoolcommon0 #Common Tool Number calculations for toolchange

# T'oottcc' output for Tool Number

# where...

# oo = Tool Offset number

# tt = Tool number

# cc = Tool Nose Compensation Offset number

# if cc_pos > 0,

# [

toolno = tloffno * 10000 + t * 100 + tloffno

result = newfs(21,toolno) #Six digit output format

# ]

# else,

# [

# toolno = t * 100 + tloffno

# result = newfs(7,toolno) #Four digit output format

# ]

Thanks for the info guys,

Solved the problem by changing to a six digit outpot regardless of the calue of cc_pos.
