HAAS post - w/stop block

[Michael Sullivan]

I have 3 HAAS minimills, X-MR2 mill level 3. I've been told that using the misc integers, a note can be added in the operations manager therefore posting a stop-block to the NC file automatically anywhere you want it. Currently, much like many other people I have to manually add a M00 to the NC file everytime if I need to move clamps or add fixturing etc. mid program.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to do this or has a HAAS post they would be willing to share.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

 

-Mike

Welcome to the Forum Michael

 

I use canned text to achieve what you are looking to do.

 

If you do a search on canned text there is some good info already abounds about how.

I am suprised the free post police haven't responded!

Mike,

JNO is trying to say that you should read the Forum Guidelines to save yourself some grief.

 

Welcome to the Forum!

I also used to just edit in the stop blocks. Then Rich at Cimtech showed me the canned text feature.

 

Very cool stuff.

 

 

I have a question as well about canned text. My SL10 has a parts catcher and the canned text is not inserted in the correct spot in the code. What controls that??????

The retract happens too soon.

I insert the retract to be "after" and still get the retract before the part off

 

 

And I'm not even going to mention the Post Police.....

What's so "taboo" about asking about/for a post processor anyway?

[Michael Sullivan]

I will check into the canned text.

Thanks a bunch.

Alot of time and effort goes into custom posts, and to ask for it for free is wrong.

[DC Gorn]

If that does not work out, I use Manual entry.

 

Something like this:

 

M00 (REMOVE CLAMP)

 

or For setup:

 

/M00 (Check Clearance of clamp)

 

Then turn on Post as Code.

If you want to take the time to tweak the MPMaster post to your needs the M0 will be included in the misc values box.

 

I'm not familiar with the minimill but it didn't take much tweaking to get the VF-8 up and going.

[Lars Christensen]

I have different function in my Misc. for the Haas post, but I did the same thing as DC Gorn when it comes to M00, that way I can but a little message why I am stopping here.

The manual entry works great. thanks!

[Bryan Johnson]

there is a Haas post on the FTP site that is already setup with that feature. (and others)

 

Mill_Haas_VF.PST/TXT

 

It is for V9, but will update for X with no problem.
