New to Fadal

[Bobman]

Hello,

 

Is there anyone who can help me on how to change the Master Cam X post processor so it can create a Part program like below?

I just started a new job and I'm new to Fadal controls.

 

I' not sure if the program below is a common way of programming in Fadal.

 

On the top there are the subroutines and then follows the main program, but my current post won't 'spit' it out that way. If I change my

Control Definition to "Sub programs before main Program" It will give me an empty part program.

Any suggestions our help are greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Bob

Welcome to the forum, Bob!

 

Is there a particular reason why you want to use subroutines? From the looks of the code, you an accomplish the same thing by transforming the toolpath. The reason I ask is because programming like this is usually done by hand typing it in. It's quicker that way if you're manually programming. With MC (or any CAM software), it does the code generating for you, therefore there's little need to cut corners like this, unless you have some serious memory limitations that won't handle the larger programs. Or maybe that's just how the operators want to see it?

 

 

Anyway, I think others here have been successful at outputting Fadal's fixed subroutines (L9401, L9601, etc), but I don't recall anyone trying what you are doing with subroutines. In my (extremely) limited post editing experience, I think it would be difficult to post out the subroutine nesting that you have going in there. One of the post gurus can guide you better.

I have a post that will post the code the way you like. It is call MPfadalsub. I am using it with version 9 sp2. I got it from inhousesolutions in Missasuga Ontario Canada.

Thanks guys for your input!

The reason for using subroutines is that my boss

is used to this kind of programming.

The Program from ShawnV is pretty much what I'm looking after. I probably should contact Inhouse solutions.

 

Thanks again,Bob

Hello ShawnV

The Fadal_Subpost part program you gave is indeed exactly what I’m looiking after.

Maybe a dumb question but are you willing to share that Post?

I’m running Mastercam X and could convert the post from your version 9 to X.

That way could do some test and practice with that particular post.

 

If you are willing to share it could you sent as a attachment to me?

Other wise I’ll phone Inhouse Solutions .

 

 

Thanks, Bob
