Post tweaks for toolchange position

[Zoeper]

Hi All,

 

I want to change my post to do away with manual editing of all programs.

 

At the moment i have to do the following with all programs:

 

Inset M42 before 1st spindle start ( i almost always use it in high gear but my post does not output gear code at all and there are no switches for gear selection in the post)

 

Insert tool change position before each tool change (normally x-40y20)

 

Insert infinate dwell after each spindle start to allow for manual speed change. (g4t0)

 

Change M2 at end of program to M30C"prog number"

 

I am using Mill 9

Machine is a bridgeport type mill with Anilam GXM controll

Post processor is "Crusad-g.pst"

 

Any guidance in this regard would be much appreciated.

Peter,

 

For the gear, I suggets you get the Mpmaster post from this site and start adding the gear parameters in your post. That would change the gears automatically for you.

 

For the positioning before tool change, find the ptlchg_com post block and add a line like this where you need it: n," ", "G00X-40.Y20.", e

 

For the M30 at the end of you program, find the peof post block in your pst file. Remove the line with the M2 and add this line: n," ", "M30C",progno, e
