okuma toolpaths G95

[steveo25]

Im working with the okuma osp7000l post and version x2 and Im trying to make G95 always output instead of G94.

My post code looks like this:

code:

---

 # Feed mode G code selection

sg94 G94 #UPM (per minute)

sg95 G95 #UPR (per rev)

sgfeed #Target for string

 

fstrsel sg94 ipr_actv$ sgfeed 2 -1

---

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

The above code is what is called a string selector and they basically let you use a single output variable (target variable) for different output based on an input (variable with a value). Think of this as many IF statements or even a CASE statement if you are familiar with those programming concepts.

 

I bet if you do a search on string selectors you might find some helpful information.

 

In simple terms the value of ipr_actv$ is what is causing the G94 or G95 to be output. If you never, ever want G94 then don't use the string selector and just force out the G95 using a literal sting "G95" in your output line.

 

String selectors are another BASIC concept in MP and our Posts.

Ok thanks for the good information. Im new at this so im trying to learn as much as I can. I just changed the G94 to a G95 and cancelled The other G95 so it wouldnt output. That seemed to give me what I wanted. Thanks again
