MR2 wcs ?

[MIKE_B]

Hi all

 

I just programmed a part using WCS for my top, bottom, sides...etc. When I post it is not putting out different work offsets for each side.(G54-G55-G56)

 

Had no problem with this in MR1. Not sure if I'm missing a setting that did not migrate properly or not. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Mike,

 

If you are using an MPMaster post check the MI variables. There is a switch in there to lock it onto the first WCS.

 

and make sure you are using the TOP with your T & C planes set for your rotational values to be processed correctly

Still using posts updated from V9

 

And my T & C 's are set to top

[Guest]

Well, if your T & C are set to top, unless your doing either axis substitution or transform >> rotary you are going to get one WCS.

 

Your T & C planes need to be equal to your rotation while the WCS stays set to TOP

 

The system is not seeing a plane change thus not outputting a new WCS

This is something file related. I just did a test on a test file and everything works fine.

The one thing I thought it might be is my first toolpath was on the Bottom. But I did that on my test file and it posted fine.

 

What's really strange is that if I just post my first contour toolpath it doesn't even put out a work coordinate.

 

This one is driving me crazy

Everything looks the same as my test file

Mike,

 

Can you place it up on the FTP or send me the file?

[MIKE_B]

I'll send it to you. Give me a few min

[Guest]

Make sure you z2g it so I get the defs and post.

 

Is it OK to place it on the FTP as well?

[MIKE_B]

I'd prefer not to put it up on the FTP

How can I attach it using the your email here?

Mike,

 

Check your control def.

 

The one I got was pointed to the "default" control def instead of the "robo" one and then go into your mi variables and make sure mi1 is set to 2.

 

I also went into the View Manager and set the work offset value to

 

Bottom = 0

Top = 1

Right = 2

Left = 3

 

File coming back

Thanks That was it just had to put the 2 in mi1.

Just don't no how it got to zero

I didn't have to change the numbers in the view finder. I always keep them at "0" with no issues
