X3 MU1 migration

[Wanny]

Hello Chaps,

 

I eventually decided to take the plunge and upgrade to X3MU1 from X2 MR2, left X3 alone as there seemed quite a few issues, but now I have a couple of questions for you.

1. When I copy toolpath operations from 1 machine group to another and tell it to use existing tools the tools don't show in the toolpath parameters on each operation. Any clues?

2. On one of our machines we use the mpmaster post and for some reason it is not outputing any coolant commands even though we are asking it to. I can't find in the post where to put my thru tool coolant values (M38,M39)

 

Any help would be apperciated

Coolant is under the machine def, general machine parameteers, coolant commands tab. Just type in a description and the corresponding code your machine requires.

Thanks but that's already set. It not posting any coolant commands what so ever. We've tried comparing the post from X2 but it looks a bit different on the coolant front.

Wanny..

If you are using an mpmaster post, check out the thread at the top of this fourm

I had a read of that and I see it says that there'no real changes to the post from X2.

I think we're going to un-install X3 and start from scratch and see what happens.

Hopefully all will be ok or it could be back to MR2

 

Thanks anyway

Might wanna read it again....Coolant needs a post edit to work properly from X2 to X3.

Maybe I'm having a blonde moment or something but I can't see anything in the top thread about coolant changes, only feedrates which I've changed and works fine now.

sorry for being ignorant

maybe i'm blind as well but Wanny is right, the coolant changes are gone! check it out gcode.
