Lathe Thread Feed "E" to "F"

[tsewyek]

Good Morning All,

 

Workning on a post for a new lathe with a Fanuc OI-TC and I need to change the feed in the the threading cycle from an "E" to an "F" unless the machine will accept an "E" (not hooked up yet)it doesn't appear that it will. I'm sure that it's simple and obvious, I just can't see it this morning. Don't worry this won't be the last request, we are just now starting to use Masercam to program our lathes and the posts are non-existant. Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks in Advance!!

I probably should have said that I tried changing the "E" in the "String and string selector definitions for NC output" section of the Post (MPLFAN) and it has "fixed it" I'm just not certain that it is the correct way of solving this. Thanks! Sorry, I should have added that I am using V9.1 SP2.

stre "E" #String for address E

 

pfr_l #Format feedrate for lathe

if opcode = 104,

[

#Format feedrate for lathe thread

result = nwadrs(stre, feed)

result = newfs (19, feed)

]

else,

[

result = nwadrs(strf, feed)

result = newfs (18, feed)

]

been away from lathe for awhile but i think you need to set your machine parameter for e or f also

set for decimal vrs non dec input.
