posting M03 & M08 after M00

[Darin]

We have a HAAS VFOE and I am using MPMaster post

I was wondering if it is possible to make the post

post a M03 & M08 after the M00.Is there a book or class I could take that would help me understand how post work.

 

Thanks

There is a manual for editing post processors, and it is available both as books and on CD-ROM. You should contact your local Mastercam dealer if you want that manual.

 

The change you desire is a change I could make in less than 5 minutes, though I would usually spend 15-30 minutes checking for possible errors in the post processor before sending it back to the customer.

Thanks for your help I will look in to it.By the way how is the CMS post coming I work for Bunzl

Yakima and I hope that the people at CMS can help

you.

I hope to receive a reply from CMS soon, so there should be progress on the CMS post processor soon. I cannot make any progress before I receive the relevant documentation.

If you're using an mi10 to force out an M00 stop, my version of Mpmaster does output the M03 and the M08:

 

code:

---

N445 G03 X3. Y-1. I0. J-1.

N450 G01 G40 Y-2.

N455 G00 Z1.

N460 M05

N465 G91 G28 Z0. M09

N470 M00

N475 G00 G90 X5. Y-2. S1528 M03

N480 G43 H2 Z1. M08

N485 (FINISH OUTSIDE)

N490 Z.1

N495 G01 Z-.25 F12.22

N500 G41 D42 Y-1. F24.45

N505 G03 X4. Y0. I-1. J0.

Hi all: Now this may seem like a dumb question. How do you program a M00 in your program ? Normally I have always done it in the editor, it would be nice to be able to do it right on the fly though. Wow a lot of other questions are now racing threw my mind. Can you change tools, orient the spindle, then program stop ? Also with our Fanuc's I manually put in operator messages using #3006=10(load 5" face mill), is this possible ?

 

Thanks all,

 

Frank

Thanks Dave it works just like I want it to now

I understand what to do.What Dave is saying to do is use the misc.box in mastercam and put a 1 in the box that says add M00 before operation even if it is the same tool it will post a G03

G08 works great.

 

Thanks again
