Mitsubishi post

[PERRY C]

I'm programming a Mits. FX20 with X-2 and when it generates the program it has 5 places after the decimal point I only want 4 and I can't seem to make it change plus it inputs a block delete symbol at every M00 and I can't get it to quit doing that either I can get it to put them after every sequence number and I set the post to zero it does away with them except on the moo's

Thanks in advance.

Hey Perry,

 

I suppose this depends on what value it's giving you a 5 point decimal. But, you can change that usually thru the FMT statements near the top of the post. Again, depending on the letter value, look for that in the FMT section and change the # beside the letter

 

Example;

 

fmt Q 2 peck1$ #First peck increment (positive)

 

and such for the rest as well.

 

As for the M00, is it hard coded into the post and you just need to remove that part from it? Are you using an MI to activate it, or canned text?

In the control def under tolerances is the setting for nc precision.

Terry is right on as I just ran into the exact same problem. Our reseller advised me of the setting. All seems fine now.

Thanks I'll check that out I figured the block delete out it was forcing it in on the thread and cut strings I removed pfbld form the string and it's out of there. Now if I can get it to 4 place decimals

Nooooo...

 

Do not alter Tolerance settings in an attempt to change the # of digits that are output by a post processor.

 

Here is the way to accomplish you are looking for.

 

In the Mitsubishi FA_Series 4X.pst

 

You can alter the (fs) Format Statement(s) that are used on the axis outputs.

 

fs2 2 0.5 0.4 #Decimal, absolute, 5/4 place

fs2 3 0.5 0.4d #Decimal, delta, 5/4 place

 

To ->

 

fs2 2 0.4 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place

fs2 3 0.4 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 4/3 place

 

As for the '/' block delete, try this...

Do a search in the PST for "M00" (without the "") and see what you find.

Maybe something like -> "/ M00"

Where you can remove the '/' from the string.

Perry does you machine accept 5pls after decimal ??

Id leave it that way if it does, most wire machines Ive seen are.

In my case I just tied Rogers advice and changing the post has made it post 4 plc's. Our Mit is set up for 4 places. Our Fanucs for 5 places. Our Mit is not as accurate as our Fanucs. SInce the machine is set for 4 places it won't draw the program posted with 5 decimals.

But I understand where your coming from Del.

That's right! Thanks Guys for the help I've got it fixed and working. I could change the machine to 5 place decimals but theres no real advantage.

Thanks again
