Feed IPM in lathe...

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

I dont want it!

 

code:

---

N2 ( OD FINISH - DNMG 433 )

G50 S1000

T0606 M41

G96 S900 M04

G0 G54 X5.25 Z1. M8

Z.1

G70 P100 Q110 S900 F500. <---------------

G0 Z1.

M9

G28 U0.

G0 W10.

M5

M30

---

G70 callout (pread_G70)

code:

---

pbld, n$, *scclgcode, *ng70s, *ng70e, *speed, pffr, e$

---

So, from what I see, the pffr callout is giving me the F500. in the above code. But I suppose the question is, since its a lathe post, why is it not converting it to IPR? The F500. actually comes from the posts Max IPM. So it might actually be ignoring what is suppose to be F.01 all together as specified in MC...?

 

Any one have an idea how I can reformat this to give me IPR?

 

Tks

try sgfeed instead of pffr

 

BTW, WTF post is that; code is unfamiliar to me

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

What do you mean what post is that? Its my messed up version of the MPLMaster...by messed up, I mean re-arranged to be organized and tidy.

 

I will try sgfeed, tks

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

Ya, sgfeed turned my feedrate into a G98 lol. I dont think that is quite what I am looking for. But tks for trying!

[chris m]

D'oh...been a long time since I did post editing

 

What does this look like in your post:

 

ipr_actv : -1 #Initialize active feed type

 

or this

 

pffr #Output feedrate, force

if ipr_actv = zero, pfr_m

else, pfr_l

*feed

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

My pffr was a little different then that, a couple more switches checking this and that, so I dumbed it down so it was the same as you had above and no change.

 

Its funny cause its only in the canned finish that I have the problem. EVERYWHERE else in post comes out in IPR. Very weird.

[ajmer]

are you sure that the tool is not using ipm when you think it is set to ipr in the operation

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

Ajmer, I am fairly confident

 

 

This instance is using a seperate tool. Even if I combine this with the roughing tool (use 1 tool) it will output in IPM.

 

Just outta pure giggles I switched it to IPM on that screen and it didnt change the output at all

I had the same thing happend and I can't quite remember what it was. Just a thought, but I'm thinking i had issues with the speed/feed settings in the toolpath page, as you have shown, and the the speed/feed settings on the actual tool itself. Do the the old right click on that tool in that toolpath and "edit tool". Try that and see if those settings match the ones on the toolpath page. I can't remember, for sure, but i think that was what was messing it up for me. They were different and one was overwriting the other.
