I have a post for a Kitamura. It works great. What I need to do is if we are only working at B0 it puts in no rotation. The operator would like it to call up B0 to make sure the tombstone is at B0 in case he rotated teh tombstone to look at something.

This worked for me but it was a late model mpmaster. Link

My post doesn't have #sav_rot_on_x = 0 in it.

But thanks.

connormac, does he want it done at each tool change, or just the start of the program?

Change the pcout to a pfcout in the initial move.

Here is what my line is already.

 

n$, *sgcode, *sgabsinc, pwcs, pfxout, pfyout, pfcout, *speed, p_spindle, pgear, e$

[Zoober]

That should work. You may need to check your lock codes.

can you post a bit of gcode?

make sure that the pfcout is in ptlchg_com and ptlchg0$ blocks. I am not sure where it is executing that from. Is the above code from your ptlchg$ block, ptlchg_com, or???

[connormac]

It is the first tool. I have know idea. I will check out tomorrow afternoon. In the morning we are gong to DFW airport for "Meet The Troops" with the little C and the Cub Scouts.

 

Thanks for all the help!
