Lathe Post Help

[Greg Williams]

Hi All,

 

I have a very very old lathe that does not use a G00 command for rapid. This old beast needs to have

 

G94 G01 F5000.

 

So one way can do this is change the sg00 in the post to what I want as below;

 

sg00 G94G01F5000 #Rapid

sg01 G01 #Linear feed

sg02 G02 #Circular interpolation CW

sg03 G03 #Circular interpolation CCW

sg04 G04 #Dwell

 

 

This now gives me two problems

 

1, How to get a space beween G94 and G01 and F5000

 

2, I need to reset the feed to G95 F? at every feed move

 

All ideas welcome?

By putting * in front of a code you force PP to output it every time it comes across it. For example

 

pbld, n, *sgcode, pfxout, pfyout, pfzout, e

 

sgcode will be posted every time post comes across it.

There are many guys on here that know way more about this than i do. Hopefully one of them will chime in soon.

Whoops, I'm sorry, I forgot,

 

To get the spaces you have to do this

 

sg00 "G94 G01 F5000" #Rapid

OK, to force output of feedrate you have to do following

 

go to "Motion NC Output" of postproc.

 

In paragraphs plinout and pcirout change pfr to pffr. it should look like this

 

plinout #Output to NC, linear movement - feed

pcan1, pbld, n, psgplane, sgfeed, pexct, psgcode, psccomp, pxout,

pyout, pzout, pcout, pffr, pscool, strcantext, e

 

 

pcirout #Output to NC, circular interpolation

pcan1, pbld, n, psgplane, sgfeed, pexct, psgcode, psccomp, pxout,

pyout, pzout, pcout, parc, pffr, pscool, strcantext, e

 

 

This will output feedrate on every line.
