Programming multiple parts using G54, G55 etc.

murray

here is what i can tell you so far (my computer is slow still waiting on regen)

i copied the top wcs (work off 0) and gave it a origin of x0 y6.69 z0.0 work offset 1. in translate i set it to between views. i took out the work offsets in the ops the problem is in your post if you look at mi1

(G53=0 G54=1 etc)-not used

it tells you that mi1 is not used i looked for if mi1=1 force wcs in the post and cant find it you need to have work offsets built in i tried one of my posts and i get G54 i'm still waiting to see if i get G55 i hope this makes some sense and as the file ext you are getting i'm lost i dont get that

 

well mastercam just crashed so i cant tell ya about the G55

Thanks for you help. I dont know much about modifying post processors. This is a hurco post directly from them and has not been modified so I will contact them to see if they will edit it or if they have a different post.

Hurco? Hah, Tony knows about a Hurco. LOL

[Tony35]

that old clunker you guys have you can keep it

LOL

[peon]

It's finally gone Tony, along with the Haas VM2 and the other Horizontal Haas EC1600. Wanna buy a Roku?

[Tony35]

what are you guys closing the doors?

going to go make fiber glass car parts LOL

i liked the vm2

[peon]

Well, we're down to 32 hours again!!

[Tony35]

so you sold the machines to pay the bills?

[peon]

They were sold almost a year ago, but I think they did just that. The new foreman was wondering why we had so many machines and nobody to operate them! LOL

[Tony35]

Hmmmmm... I wonder why that is

maybe they should remove the revolving door

thats why toolboxes come with wheels

LOL

Update:

I got a post from my reseller that supports subprograms. I had all my settings like I needed them and all is going good.

 

Thanks again to everybody for the help. I was down on myself thinking I was a total dumba$$, but I soon realized that there are people right here in the same building with me that dont know the difference between a post processor and a post hole digger.....lol

[Tony35]

glad to hear it worked out for ya
