probe posting minimum spindle speed

[Tim Johnson]

This is my first day using X2. (I got it one day before my Christmas vacation) My probe is now using the machine def mimimum spindle speed instead the the defined speed of zero. I really don't want to change the machine def speed for the tools that would use spindle default. Is there anything else I can do thru X2 to make the probe run at 0 rpm?

I don't know if this is an option for you Tim but this is how I handle my probe in the spindle

 

code:

---

if t$ = 30,

[

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

pfcout, "M19", pgear, strcantext, e$

]

else,

[

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

pfcout, *speed, *spindle, pgear, strcantext, e$

]

Thanks John,

I'll rig up my posts. I was wondering (hoping) if something could be done thru MC that I was missing.

How about setting your minimum speed in the machine def to 0

[Tim Johnson]

I want to keep the minimum speed in my machine defs. I use a lot of larger diameter slitting saws and also use the % material speed and feed calculators. I can't honestly say whether I've hit the minimum speed But I've been close if I haven't.

You could always do a check for opcode$ and the cycles that run probing then set the spindle speed @ 0.

 

Just a thought.

My probes are in dedicated pockets so I just added a condition;

code:

---

      if t$ <= 5, n$, "G43", *tlngno$, pfzout, [if t$ <> 4, *speed, pspindle2], e$
