M09 on retract line question

[Joeyls319]

Morning all you unfortunate folks working today.

 

I have a post question.

 

I would like to put the M09 on the retract line at the end of the operation but I can't figure out how to do it in the post. Everything I try doesn't work. It's a Haas post. I'm using MC9.

 

Any help would great.

Do you mean on your G91 G28 Z0. point line.

Look in your pretract section of your post.

make sure the scoolant is added in there.

 

If that's not what your looking for post a little sample of how you would like it to look.

 

As always backup your post before making any changes.

Joey,

 

What does your ptlchg0 section currenly look like?

[Joeyls319]

John

 

Here's what it looks like.

Is this where I should be looking?

 

 

ptlchg0 #Call from NCI null tool change (tool number repeats)

pcuttype

pcom_moveb

c_mmlt #Multiple tool subprogram call

" ",e

comment

" ",e

pcan

pbld, n, sgplane, e

pspindchng

pbld, n, scoolant, e

if mi1 > one & workofs <> prv_workofs,

[

sav_absinc = absinc

absinc = zero

pbld, n, sgabsinc, pwcs, pfxout, pfyout, pfzout, pfcout, e

pe_inc_calc

ps_inc_calc

absinc = sav_absinc

]

if cuttype = zero, ppos_cax_lin

if gcode = one, plinout

else, prapidout

pcom_movea

c_msng #Single tool subprogram call

OK, make sure your prapidout section has a scoolant callout in it.

 

I have a post here that outputs it the way you want and I am trying to track it to where it calls it for that line.

 

 

it shows as being output on this line

The prapidout section dose have a scoolant callout in it.

I slipped that in and got an error message.

 

 

Variable found, '=' or ':' expected.

Post line number 636

Program execution halted due to error(s) in .pst

 

 

That's this line here.

[Joeyls319]

Sorry

 

That's this line here.

 

fmtrnd(prv_cabs) = fmtrnd(cabs), pbld, n, *slock, "(LOCK)", e

Thanks for your time, it's time to get out of here. I'll have to tackle this on Monday.

 

Thank again for your help.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Hey, how about we try the easy solution first?

 

Look for a switch in the begining of your post called

quote:

---

cool_zmove : no #Coolant off with last move

---

set it to yes

[Chris Rizzo]

what's the matter, don't like coolant getting hosed into your changer?

 

here's from my haas post that does what your after.

 

code:

---

pretract        #End of tool path, toolchange              

sav_absinc = absinc

sav_coolant = coolant

coolant = zero

#cc_pos is reset in the toolchange here

cc_pos = zero

gcode = zero

pbld, n, sccomp, *sm05, psub_end_mny, e

absinc = zero

# pbld, n, sgabsinc, "G49", pfzout, e

absinc = one

pbld, n, sgabsinc, sgcode, *sg28ref, "Z0.", scoolant, e

pbld, n, *sg28ref, "Y0.", protretinc, e

absinc = sav_absinc

coolant = sav_coolant

Thanks guys

I'll have to give that a try a little later, the boss wants to see me right now.

Maybe the coolant got on the boss.

I've been here almost 2 1/2 years and I've never seen him out in the shop.

Mpmaster from this site has that functionality. It's not a trivial thing to add into another post...
