I'm having a bad time with a transform toolpath as subs.

Post is: Mitsubishi FA-Series 4X Wire.pst

then L002,L001 again, L002 again.

 

the file is too large for the machine.

Am I missing something in the parameters, is there a setting in the post, or is this major post edit time?

 

Thanks

hi keith,

i am still rather green at mx3 wire, but did a quick rectangle program with direct taper and came up with this program...i picked wire/power and got my settings. then in cut parameters, it is rough cut and checked box for 2 skims. in 4axis, i clicked direct taper and got this program..may be shorter than your 1st one..hope this helps.

Thanks Herk. The problem is not so much the length of the cut program; it is the repetetive posting of the main and sub programs. I only need a short main with "G22 L501 P2" The sub is also repeating for each repetition. I can fit the program for 2 parts in memory, but not for 12 parts. It is running now with a lot of cut and paste, but I'd like to post and go.
