Manual input for multi turrets

[GoetzInd]

Hello All,

Right now we are using a post from inhouse for our mill/turns. The post creates two separate programs, one for upper, one for lower. It separates the ops into these programs depending on which axis combo is selected. As it seems, it will post manual entries to the turret of the operation that follows it. For example, if the manual Entry is before a upper op, it posts to the upper program. If it is before a lower op, it posts to lower. Simple enough. My problem is that I want to manually input some code to the lower turret program but I have no lower turret ops on this program. Does anybody know if there is a way I can make the manual entry op post specificaly with the lower program?

 

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Mike is this for an Integrex?

 

If so you can put Manual entries in anywhere for any turret by

Upper and Lower Manual Entry

 

You can output comments to the upper or lower turret as desired. Select Manual Entry (as code) then create your comment as follows:

 

(upper)

upper turret output

*

 

Or

 

(lower)

lower turret output

*

 

Be sure to use both the (upper) or (lower) beginning and the * ending or you may have unpredictable results with file streaming.

 

 

It works well here.

David,

Putting the turret in () works perfect. Thanks for the help. I knew there had to be a way to do it.
