Always rotate B axis

[Dustin S.]

Having a problem posting. If the program doesn't leave B0 the post doesn't output the lock and unlock

 

(with rotation)

code:

---

and heres the section of post it refrences

code:

 [

if lock_codes = one & not(index) & rot_on_x, pbld, n$, *sunlock, sunlockcomm, e$

pbld, n$, pgear, e$

pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgcode, sgplane, [if not(index), sgabsinc, pwcs], pfcout, strcantext, e$

if lock_codes = one & not(index) & rot_on_x & cuttype = 0, pbld, n$, *slock, slockcomm, e$

if convert_rpd$ = one,

[

gcode$ = one

feed = maxfeedpm

ipr_type = zero

]

pbld, n$, sgcode, [if gcode$ = 1, sgfeed], pfxout, pfyout, pfspindleout, [if gcode$ = 1, *feed], e$

]

else,

[

<line 1757> if lock_codes = one & not(index) & rot_on_x, pbld, n$, *sunlock, sunlockcomm, e$

pbld, n$, pgear, e$

if convert_rpd$ = one,

[

gcode$ = one

ipr_type = zero

]

can anyone tell me what to edit to get it tou output the lock and unlock along with my B axis at all times?

 

Thanks

[Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.]

there is no B axis movement in your second set of code so why do you want to unlock and lock again?

[Dustin S.]

the boss wants to see it in there... safety code he says make sure we are always at B0. when it is supposed to be

[Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.]

That is true incase someone moves B manualy

[Dustin S.]

Yeh thats the plan, I know someone has the answer

[Craig-B]

Save post first , then try removing (if lock_codes = one & not(index) & rot_on_x, pbld,) and leaving just the (n$, *sunlock, sunlockcomm, e$) That should work .

[Dustin S.]

No didn't help...

[Craig-B]

What post are you using, you may can force it out by adding this (lock = 0) before the if statements and it will force it out.

k ill try that

[Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.]

I think tim johnson may have covered this in the past search for his messages

[Craig-B]

Ok I think this is it'

[

if lock_codes = one, n$, *sunlock, sunlockcomm, e$

rotretflg = 1

#if lock_codes = one & not(index) & rot_on_x, pbld, n$, *sunlock, sunlockcomm, e$

pbld, n$, pgear, e$

pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgcode, sgplane, [if not(index), sgabsinc, pwcs], pfcout, strcantext, e$

if lock_codes = one, pbld, n$, *slock, slockcomm, e$

rotretflg = 1

#if lock_codes = one & not(index) & rot_on_x & cuttype = 0, pbld, n$, *slock, slockcomm, e$

if convert_rpd$ = one,

[

gcode$ = one

feed = maxfeedpm

ipr_type = zero

]

pbld, n$, sgcode, [if gcode$ = 1, sgfeed], pfxout, pfyout, pfspindleout, [if gcode$ = 1, *feed], e$

]

else,

[

rotretflg = 0

if lock_codes = one, pbld, n$, *slock, slockcomm, e$

#if lock_codes = one & not(index) & rot_on_x, pbld, n$, *sunlock, sunlockcomm, e$

pbld, n$, pgear, e$

if convert_rpd$ = one,

[

gcode$ = one

feed = maxfeedpm

ipr_type = zero

]

 

 

I hope this makes it work, this statement is checking to see if there’s an index (if lock_codes = one & not(index) & rot_on_x,) I copied this from another place in the post where it’s not checking for an index. (if lock_codes = one, pbld, n$, *sunlock, sunlockcomm, e$

rotretflg = 1)

This is the flag, (rotretflg : 0 #Flag used for indexing lock code output) . I think if we force the flag it should work.

[Craig-B]

Yep,

Tim Jonson is the guy, He is very good with post.

unless I'm not understanding what your trying to do....the lock/unlock of the B axis will not ensure it is at B0. It will clamp/unclamp the B axis at what ever angle it's set at when it encounters the M10/M11

Dustin,

 

Try this link if you are using the mpmaster post. Uncomment the line Brett Thomas refers to.

ooh boy uncommenting a comment that says this will fix your problem... doesn't get any easier than that.

 

by the way I did do a search just wrong criteria I just searched for "B0." Ill try harder next time.

 

Thanks again
