Post help please

[SLJ]

Hope not everyone is into the eggnog too much yet. I've got a post problem on a Horiz. mill, modified MPFan. The machine has a toolchange macro that takes over whenever it sees a t#m6 callout. Problem is it leaves the control in incremental mode. When I have a table index, it usually comes after a toolchange and the post is just putting out the B#. I need it to put a G90 in front of the B#. I realise we can edit the macro to go back to absolute, but would like to have the post put it in for a safety factor.

Below is how the post reads now.

 

pindex #Index output

if index & rot_on_x,

[

pbld, n$, `sindx_mc, indx_out, e$

!cabs, !cinc

]

 

I've tried putting a "G90", after the n$, but got a G90 after every G2-G3 in the part as well.

Is this where I should be looking, or am I way off base here?

Have a great weekend folks!

this is at the index and tool change

 

pindex

#if lock_codes = one & not(index) & rot_on_x, pbld, n$, *sunlock, sunlockcomm, e$ #move up for cycle time

pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgcode, [if not(index), sgabsinc, *sgplane, pwcs], pfxout, pfyout,

pfcout, [if gcode$ = 1, `feed], *speed, *spindle, pgear, strcantext, e$

if lock_codes = one & not(index) & rot_on_x & cuttype = 0, pbld, n$, *slock, slockcomm, e$

you can also enable your 9000 programs and add a G90 at the end of your tool change macro

That is what I would do is just change the macro. I did this on a Kitamura and solved alot of problems.

put *sgabsinc in the pindex

Guess I'll just change the macro. Tried the above changes without luck. Thanks guys.

In my opinion you taken the correct route. The last thing you need is a macro that leaves you in incremental mode.

If you still want it in the post SLJ, send it my way and I'll see if I can fix it for ya.
