cycles using long code

[Bruce]

Hello all once again,

 

MC Version 8.11

Mill

 

How does one start to write a “boring” cycle using long code. My controller does not support this canned cycle. I have selected long code for that cycle in the post and you can see the result below but I want to stop the spindle before I rapid out of the bore and then reset the spindle for the next hole. Where does the post get the instructions from, to use the postblocks below and not the canned cycle instructions.

Might be easier to enable canned cycles then modify pbore1 or pbore2 then second hole go through pbore1_2 or pbore2_2(in mpfanv9)

Bruce,

 

The "usecan..." switches in the PST file control which postblocks get called when a canned (drill type) cycle is programmed. If USECANBORE2:YES the PBORE2 and PBORE2_2 postblocks will get called. If that switch is set to NO, the cycle will be done using calls to PRAPID and PLIN to 'simulate' the motion using long-hand code. In this setting you would need to add logic in the post to know when to output the stop codes you desire. Greg is correct, it may be easier to have the post call the canned cycle postlocks. Then you can customize what those specific postblocks output.
