Rapid moves in Lathe Canned???

[Josh T™]

I tried a search but nothing specific...

I know there will be a lot of whining but it's worth the help (I'm a Lathe Canned whiner too)

 

This is a modded MPLFAN.pst (just basic stuff) on a Hardinge with a Fanuc 18Ti. My post spits the initial rapid positions between the P & Q blocks of my canned cycles and I don't like it. [see below]

I'd like to see the initial rapid moves as G1 and the return moves outside of the P & Q blocks.

 

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Josh do a debug and in the post there is a bug2 setting in the post. Set it to a negative number. Run the post and see where in the post the specific part is doing what then from there you made need to do a force sgcode force to 1 or something else to where it will not output it as a rapid move but a feed move.

For some reason I can't get the debug to work in this post??? Am I doing something wrong?

You need to turn it on in the machine and or control deffs also.

Not at work at the moment so I can't look at my posts, but I think I removed the *sgcode and replaced it with "G1". I now have two consecutive blocks with G1 commands. Couldn't get rid of the second one without it causing needed G1s in the rest of the program to also be deleted. I can live with manually deleting the second G1 from the program. Course it doesn't hurt anything, it's just that I like my programs to be as clean as possible. No extraneous characters whatsoever.
