multiple coolant command - I need to update my post....

[YO]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get my post to output both M51 and M07 for a few tools. For now, I changed my post so that it outputs M51 (air blast) when I turn "mist" on. I also want it to output an M07 when I turn mist on. It would be nice to output an M09 along with my M52 (air blast off)

Here's the coolant block from my post (MP master modified for a Takumi VMC)

 

# Coolant M code selection

sm09 M09 #Coolant Off (Use sm09_0 through sm09_2)

sm08 M08 #Coolant Flood

sm08_1 M51 #Coolant Mist

sm08_2 M08 #Coolant Tool

sm09_0 M09 #Coolant Flood Off

sm09_1 M52 #Coolant Mist Off

sm09_2 M09 #Coolant Tool Off

scoolant #Target for string

HTH if not you are going to have to change it were you are by adding 2 codes on one line.

 

Like so:

code:

---

sm09_1 M52M9 #Coolant Mist Off

I'm going to try the X style coolant that you mentioned. If that fails, I'm not sure if I can run two M codes on one line. Worth a shot though.

Thanks Ron

[YO]

OK..

I tried the "x style" coolant commands and got frustrated. I have to modify something in my post to get these coolant options to work. I don't know what to modify in the post.

 

I tried the easy way - two M codes on one line. The machine ignores M51 every time.

OOOPs! went back and reread your post....you're using mpmaster. My first post is from the 3axis vmc post that comes with X2

 

 

This is how I do it in MPMaster

Thanks Lacky... I'm trying this right now. I'll let you know how it works. It's all starting to make sense now.

I should explain a bit more about the post I'm using. We modified a version 9 post for our takumi. When we upgraded to X, we converted that post. Now with X2, we had to convert it again. So we aren't using an X2 post. If I don't get the results I want using this "mickey mouse" post arrangement, I'll definitely be looking at going with the X2 mpmaster. Good learning experience though...

[YO]

OK... I gave up on the mickey mouse post. I switched to "Generic Fanuc 3X Mill.pst" I'll update the other minor changes after I get this going. Here's what I'm getting...

I like it, except I want to output an M52 after the M09. Why won't my post output the M52 to turn the air blast off??

[Ocean Lacky™]

Yo, referring back to the picture I posted....Change the M09 to M52 on the Air Blast line and UNCHECK "First coolant off command......." should do it for you.

[CNCGUY]

I think I have the same problem. High Pressure is turning on, but will not turn off. Ive tried many different ways, but always get M09, not M89.

 

I am even able to turn both on, but still get only M09.
