Drill Output - Mill

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

I am wanting to modify my drill output to do something that may initially sound silly.

 

I have modified the post block as such

 

code:

---

pdrill$          #Canned Drill Cycle - G81

pdrlcommonb

if drl_prm1$, pdrlcst$

else,

[

result = mr4$ + mr5$ + mr6$ + mr7$ + mr8$ + mr9$

if result > 1, result = mprint("ERROR - MULTIPLE MACHINES SELECTED IN MISC REAL SECTION. PLEASE CHECK AND REPOST")

pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgdrill, pdrlxy, pfzout, pcout, pindexdrl,

prdrlout, [if dwell$, *dwell$], *feed, strcantext, e$ #removed *sgdrlref, 09.21.09 RDM

]

pcom_movea

What I have done here, is when the user selects the custom drill cycles it will jump to pdrlcst$ and not run the standard G81 anymore. This works very well.

 

The problem is if I have 8 holes (for example) selected it will output the pdrlcst$ post block but then after that it will post out all the X and Y positions.

 

How can I modify this further so that it no longer gives me X & Y positions?

 

Tks!

You might try removing "pdrlxy"

Thanks, but that didnt do anything.

I think you need to add your logic to the pdrill_2$ or similar post block.

[Jim Evans from CNC Software]

drilling more than one hole causes 2 predefined postblocks to output. the first hole of every operation goes through the appropriate firs thole drilling postblock (pdrill, ptap, ppeck, etc). All subsequent holes in a drill cycle will go through the _2 postblocks (pdrill_2, ptap_2, ppeck_2, etc).

 

Now all custom drill cycles will go to pdrlcst on the first hole and pdrlcst_2 on subsequent holes in the operation.

 

If you want to use custom drill cycles then you will need to use the pdrlcst and pdrlcst_2 postblocks to check on the specific custom drill cycle and then make calls to new user defined postblocks for each specific cycle.

 

If you are still having problems I suggest you contact your reseller.

Thanks guys, I think I can get it to work with what you have said.
