Change of a serial number on a detail

[Oleg-L]

I have problem. I have set details ,and on each detail it is necessary for me to write number.

On each detail number should be changed

For example - 1000/123-0001...0002....0003...0004..., etc. - all than 1000 details there are more. I shall be very grateful if somebody will offer the decision of this problem.

Hello Oleg,

 

I'm afraid I don't quite understand the question. Please provide more detail if possible.

James, I think he's trying to engrave a unique number on each part.

 

You'll need a serial number routene in your control to handle it. I know that this is a feature in a HAAS, or at least it is mentioned in the programing manual. I've not personally tried it out, so I don't know how well it works.

 

You could create a custom 'drill' cycle in your post to call the serial number command in the control and posiiton it in the right spot, or generate a manual sub-program and use the MPMASTER post as a guide in calling the custom sub. Or enter it as a 'manual' toolpath.

 

When MasterCAM engraves a number, it does it by breaking it up into lines and arcs. Getting those lines and arcs converted back to a number that can be indexed in the control would be prohibitively complex, I'm afraid.

Hi ,Oleg!

Welcome to the forum.

You can write macro program.

It is not hard to implement.

I`ve done it a couple of times .

You can get my phone number from Nachum and I`ll explain you by phone .

 

You are welcome !

For James

 

I shall explain a question.

I have a plenty of parts (more than 1000) everyone has an own serial number (engraving)

To create on each part the separate program it it is not logical.....

To create special macros- it is difficultly for me, I am afraid that I can not make it.

Probably there are special modules for Mastercam which it is possible to build in the program?

Where it is possible to get such support?

 

I use Mastercam 8,1,1 postprocessor MPMASTER machins Hitachi Seiki VS-40 and VS-50

 

I am sorry for my not enough good English

(to have frequently to use the dictionary)

 

Many thanks for the answer!

You don`t need any macro`s ,subroutines are also good .

Make me call ,I`ll expain in details .

It is rather simple .

But I don`t have time to write a big article.

Come on, make me a call , man !

You can speak Russian or Hebrew with me , as you like .

Oleg,

 

About two years ago, I sent a set of Fanuc subprograms, along with a detailed doc file, to your company. Ask Itsik about it.

This has nothing to do with Mastercam. It can only be done on the machine control.
