Varaibles for Lathe Stock Transfer.

[crazy^millman]

Here is a picture of it:

 

Here is what CNC thinks is worthy of pulling out of it from MPLFAN:

 

code:

---

pstck_trans$     #NCI code = 900 available variables:

#stck_spindle, stck_init_z, stck_final_z,

#stck_chuk_st_z, stck_chuk_st_x,

#stck_chuk_end_z, stck_chuk_end_x,

#stck_chuk_st_dz, stck_chuk_st_dx,

#stck_chuk_end_dz, stck_chuk_end_dx

if toolchng <> two, ptoolend$

toolend_flg = zero #Do not execute ptoolend again after xfer

[

!spaces$

spaces$ = zero

pbld, n$, "M00",e$

if prv_spaces$ > 0, " ",e$

if stck_spindle$ = 0, "(Xfer Part from Left Spindle)", e$

if stck_spindle$ = 1, "(Xfer Part from Right Spindle)", e$

spaces$ = prv_spaces$

]

---

Are any of the above code working? If so which ones and how do we activate them?

 

I am trying to adjust my Integrex Post so that once I have the number my posted code comes out right every time since all of the mi and mr are used up I can not go that method. I also see custom Parameters here. Are these the same that drilling ops used? If so can I use them the same way or do I need to do something different?

Thanks Don

[Post dept]

Just use all the variables that are shown but add a $ to the end of them.

[crazy^millman]

Brett do I have to define them in the post or are they system variable that do not need a definition to use them??

[Tim Johnson]

I'm pretty sure any variable with a $ is predefined. If you're going to use the variable for code you'll have to format it though.
