Z motion post variable

[cadman2112]

I have searched for this but have come up empty handed so far.

 

Here's what I am trying to do.

 

I have logic worked out to allow outputting of a F# on XY moves, I am looking for a Z variable that I can check and thus use to output the Feed plunge rate at only those points.

 

Is there a varaible I can check against for Z motion?

[cadman2112]

Anyone know where I can get a break downn of the motst$ variable? values?

 

I don't find it in the V9 or X3 Post Parameter Ref?

Can I ask a stupid question here? Wouldn't you want all the operation to be a different variable? Also why would you not use the feeds output by Mastercam for the tap? Other things ok you want variable control, but having them the same I see some big problems, and having the tap not come out from Mastercam is another big problem.

 

Again if they are stupid then ok, but just wondering is all.

That's OK Ron,

 

So am I at some level.

 

When I inquired, I was told and I quote,

 

"trust me there's a method to the mayhem"

 

So I did what I was asked to do.

 

[crazy^millman]

Oh one of those deals; yeah then you will get the blame when it goes south. Yeah I like those types of deals.
