another post question

[TREV]

good morning all,

i would like to change the first x,y locations to have first hole location instead of 0 and the

z location to be my clearance height instead of 0

also. it seems simple enough but im scratching my head.

I'm pretty sure you can accomplish that task by changing your ref. point similar to this...

Linky

You can change to any where you want this way it seems.

It's one way anyways.

edmbosto,

 

thanks, but what i want is for it to be in the post.i do not want xo yo zo. if you look at the snipet it is positioning and then moving to the first hole to drill. this would be bad as my zo is ussually bottom of my part. big crash. the post is not picking reading my clearance height properly.

hope this makes more sence?

If you can change it to as I wanted can't it be changed to where ever you want it? I understand you want it hardwired into the post but I believe you can accomplish the task by changing some settings.

Good luck anyways!

edm,

 

i tryed to set the ref point on the parameter page like you had done but it is still not reading it right in the posted code.

i think it is something as easy as the "e $"

in the post that im missing but not sure.

this post worked well in v9 but in X not so well.

any more sugestions

thank you,

trevor

Is this by chance a V9 post updated to the Version of X you are using. A little back story about the post and how you got to the point you are now would help a lot. I think you do and I would ask have you tried a generic machine def and post and still get the same results? What version are your currently on since there are now about 15 different versions of X. I would also ask what machine are you posting this for though it seems like a little detail it might help someone help you that has a machine def/control def and post already worked out that they might share with you since they know all these factors to better help you.

ron,

 

version x mr2

makino v55

real old post that has been updated:

7 to 8 8 to 9 and now 9 to x

 

this machine was only cutting graphite in the past and now it is back to steel so when i updated the post there where only select things i worried about. now that it is cutting steel it is time to get it working differently.

i have not tried to see what happends with the default mpfan post yet. i will give it a try and see the results.

my re seller is also looking at it for me right now.

this post works well with v9 just something in the update has me stummped.

thank you,

the first call is going xo yo on the g54 line

and next line is going zo. then it calls the drill cycle and moves to first hole.

i would like it to position at first hole and use the clearance plane that is in the toolpath parameters.

the next 2 cycles start at the last hole but are reading the clearance height properly.

again i would like it to start with first hole

thanks,
