Post Macro Question

[jimspac]

I have edited a post to work with a Trumpf 2d laser. I adapted from a post that was made for a Mazak laser that has a cool way of cutting circles. You select a point and the post supplies a machine based macro with the parametrics to cut the hole based on the dril size selected.

 

Is there a way to put a macro into a post?

I have seen people post up something about drilling cycles I think.

You don't want a functioning macro in the post.

 

You may want to include it in the NC Code output.

You just hard code it in the PEOF section of the post.

 

All you really need to do is make sure the macro is installed on the machine.

jimspac,

 

We use custom drill cycles for all sorts of macros. Set it up in pdrlcst then you can tee up your macro with any input from the boxes on the right side of the drill paramters page.

Is anyone familiar with the Trumpf TP 200 control to know if it will support parametric type programming? I am not finding anything in the programming manual.
