Welcome to the Forum, unfortunately I am not versed in the lathe enough to help you out. What version of MCAM are you using, and are you using the Haas pst. off the disk?

[Reece L Gibson]

This is from the MPLFAN.pst:

 

pl_retract #Retract tool based on next tool gcode, lathe (see ptoolend)

cc_pos$ = zero

if home_type = one,

[

pmap_home #Get home position, xabs

ps_inc_calc #Set inc.

pbld, n$, psccomp, e$

pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgcode, pfxout, pfyout, pfzout,*toolno,e$

pbld, n$, pnullstop, strcantext, e$

]

else,

[

#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$,*toolno, e$

]

 

Strip out the *toolno,

I just Noticed the new members #21,912.

That's alot of people....

I did mine like this. Try "drop_offset"

 

code:

---

 #Retract to reference return

pbld, n$, `sgcode, psccomp, e$

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

if css_actv$ & css_end_rpm & not(lathe_stop | synch_flg | n1_gcode = 1003 | n1_posttype <> posttype$ | n1_spindle_no <> spindle_no$),

[

pspindle

############ prpm

]

pcan1, pbld, n$, *sg28ref, "U0.", "Z90.", *toolno, strcantext, e$ #[if y_axis_mch, "V0."],JV

if lathe_stop | synch_flg | n1_gcode = 1003 | n1_posttype <> posttype$ | n1_spindle_no <> spindle_no$,

This is what I tried, but I still have the offsets there.Is there something I need to do after I make a change to the post? I am making the changes in v9 for now untill I get it right.

Thanks

Can U help with this

I wont give up the ship

[bigjohn]

You must use also "*toolno," in the following line, the postblock.

code:

---

  pcan1, pbld, n$, *sg28ref, "U0.", "Z90.", *toolno, strcantext, e$ #[if y_axis_mch, "V0."],JV

Are you using the debug?

 

fastmode$ : yes$ #CD_VAR Enable Quick Post Processing, (set to no for debug)

bug1$ : 2 #0=No display, 1=Generic list box, 2=Editor

bug2$ : 30 #Append postline labels, non-zero is column position?

 

If you are no using it you are banging your head on the wall.

I'd like to help you if y could.

If that didn't work for you. Can you send me a copy of your post and a very simple geo file and nc file fragment showing output you want.

 

Are you using the Mplmaster post?

 

I'm not the best but, being retired, I have a lot of time in y hands and I like a good challenge.

 

Pm me if you like.
