I have a generic post that we are using for a mori-seiki. what do you change to put the gear code on (m41 m42).

Thanks

Lathe or Mill???

[Paul Felger]

Sorry Lathe..

[Colin Gilchrist]

Paul, it depends on if you are using CSS or not...

 

What do you want the range to be for M41 vs. M42?

 

There is a lookup table you will need to adjust so that the RPM dictates M41 or M42 output...

#Spindle switches and values

use_gear : 0 #Output gear selection code, 0=no, 1=yes

cool_w_spd : 0 #Output coolant with spindle code, 0=no, 1=yes - only available with V9 coolant option in MD

max_speedl0 : 3600 #Maximum spindle speed (lathe), Bottom turret/Left spindle

min_speedl0 : 20 #Minimum spindle speed

max_speedm0 : 2500 #Maximum spindle speed (mill)

min_speedm0 : 50 #Minimum spindle speed

max_speedl1 : 3600 #Maximum spindle speed (lathe), Top turret/Left spindle

min_speedl1 : 20 #Minimum spindle speed

max_speedm1 : 2500 #Maximum spindle speed (mill)

min_speedm1 : 50 #Minimum spindle speed

max_speedl2 : 3600 #Maximum spindle speed (lathe), Bottom turret/Right spindle

min_speedl2 : 20 #Minimum spindle speed

max_speedm2 : 2500 #Maximum spindle speed (mill)

min_speedm2 : 50 #Minimum spindle speed

max_speedl3 : 3600 #Maximum spindle speed (lathe), Top turret/Right spindle

min_speedl3 : 20 #Minimum spindle speed

max_speedm3 : 2500 #Maximum spindle speed (mill)

min_speedm3 : 50 #Minimum switchesspindle speed

# Define the gear selection code

flktbl 1 3 #Lookup table definition - table no. - no. entries

40 0 #Low gear range

41 400 #Med gear range

42 2250 #Hi gear range

This is what he is talking about and this is the same for v9 to X3 they have never put this in the Machine Definition.
