[Guest]

So how do you need your code to look?

 

You'll get help modifying your existiing post to your needs but you can just about forget getting a post.

 

Should have read the FAQ

What post are you using? Are you changing workoffsets in McamX?? Are you using the coolant button, or does it seem to be hard coded into the post processor?

 

Lots of questions, but we need more info to help.

post was generated from a Fanuc post in MC9, using MCX now, ran update too.

 

I'm not doing anything to work offsets, thats how it comes up from post.

 

ex: N140G80G70X-3.0319Y21.4570Z0.R20.0000H0S410M03F46.0000T24200000

 

coolant seems to be hard coded, I can turn on/off thru tool description but M08 or M09 are there after just about every G00 move in Z

thanks

Have you opened the post and/or the error log?

It looks to me as if you have some errors insode of your post.

 

Going thru it might help you nail down what is going on.

 

 

Check you mail

A call to your Reseller would problay do you a world of good. I see spefic problems that could be 2 to 5 different things. Your dearler can help you customize the post and people always bitch about cost but how much money is the company losing everytime you have to edit a post, scrap a part becuase of code, or crash a machine becuase they fall in the old penny wise $1000 dumb listing.

I run an Acramatic 950. A good starting post is MPA2100E. I took it from version 9 and ran it through the update utility.

Old programs here for Cinncinati with Acramatic 950 that have following code in programs prior to drill cycles:

G10=[CYP, 42, V] V.1

 

Anyone with any idea what this code is?

TheePres,

 

I just read some info regarding this in the manual. I have uploaded the drilling section. This is the only part of the manual I have though.

 

It's in the "Text_&_post_files_&_misc" directory

This is writing a value into a parameter or variable register in the control. If I had to guess based on it being before drill cycles I would guess it has something to do with a retract plane or something similar. You need to look it up in the acramatic book to find out the specifics.

Mike,

Thank you fpr uploading program manual, i tried to google for this with no luck.

MlS, you are correct that this code is writing a variable to parameters. In this case the "42" was activating a dwell time of V.1 seconds.

 

Im thinking of just posting programs in point-to-point mode for this machine. Hoping that its just a switch in post as in V9 and not have to deal with CD's and MD's, as i am still completely baffled by the purpose of these.

Just throwing out there but if you have a copy of a V8 or even V7 of Mastercam there was 850 Acramatic post in there that worked pretty much out of the box and it works on a 950 with min post changes. That's what i started with long time a go when i needed one for a 950.
