Haas post

[Paul Felger]

We have a Haas lathe, and in the post does enyone know at what line number I could change to get rid of the tool offset at the end of every operation?

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

Paul, you are meaning the tool offset cancellation? (eg, T0100)?

[Paul Felger]

Yes Randy

[Guest]

Paul,

 

Which post are you using?

[Paul Felger]

Paris,

I beleive it is a Haas post.

[Guest]

If you open up the post there is a variable setting

 

code:

---

# mi1 - Work coordinate system: (home_type)

# -1 = Reference return / Tool offset positioning.

# 0 = G50 with the X and Z home positions.

# 1 = X and Z home positions.

# 2 = WCS of G54, G55.... based on Mastercam settings.

---

Do you know which one you are "currently" using?

Paul,

 

Open the .pst file with a text editor and you'll see the name of the post in the first few lines.

basically in the in the pl_retract section

if you place a # in front of these lines

code:

---

if home_type = m_one, pbld, n$, *toolno, e$

 

if home_type > m_one, pbld, n$, *toolno, e$

---

Just be sure that is what you wanted to do.

 

s always before making any post edits make sure you have a backup copy of your post

[Paul Felger]

Paris,

Do you know what block or line number so I can find that?

Thanks

[Guest]

In a post there are no block numbbers, at least I never use them

 

do a find on

 

pl_retract

[Paul Felger]

Paris, as far as the block numbers, If you go in your post and use the NC functions drop down and click on Insert block numbers or Ctrl. T works to.

Why would you want to add block #'s to a post ??

Bottom of your editor should show you line #'s.

Not only that but depending on what has been to in a post there is NO guarantee that line # will match

 

Learn how to use the Find function if you really want to be diggin' around in posts

[Paul Felger]

Just wanted to use the block numbers to find where I need to edit then turn them off

[Paul Felger]

the post that we are using is a generic fanuc that has been altered and the line blocks are the only way i can find it unless i read the hole post.i can use the find funk. but it hasn't liked

any of the info i put in.

I put a # in front of the pl_retract and it did get rid of the offset cancel but it also took out the home position.

Dude, read again what I typed, that is NOT where I said to put the # signs

[Paul Felger]

Hey John, Sorry about that, its still a little early here. I am still learning with post edits so please be patient.

 

#Retract to reference return

pbld, n, `sgcode, psccomp, e

#if home_type = m_one, pbld, n, *toolno, e

pcan1, pbld, n, *sg28ref, "U0.", [if y_axis_mch, "V0."], "W0.",

pnullstop, strcantext, e

#if home_type > m_one, pbld, n, *toolno, e

 

Is this what you are asking me to do?

If so, the offset cancel is still there.
