[Tony35]

need a little help here

for some reason the post is moving my code to the next line

 

sample snippet

 

G50 S3500

G0 G95 X20. Z20. G96 S200

M41 TK3<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

T121212 M3 M9

G0 X2.846 Z.1

 

 

this is what i want

 

G50 S3500

G0 G95 X20. Z20. G96 S200 M41 TK3

T121212 M3 M9

G0 X2.846 Z.1

 

here is my post line

pbld, n$, *sg00, *xhome, *zhome, e$ # *sg95, REMOVED G95 TK 12/7/10

pbld, n$, "G50", *maxss$, e$

pbld, n$, *sg00, *sg95, *xhome, *zhome, pcss, pgear, "TK3", e$ # ADDED LINE TK 12/7/10>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

pcaxis_off_l #Postblock for lathe transition

pcom_moveb #Reset machine position, set inc. from last position

 

what am i missing here

any help or ideas would be great

TIA

Do you happen to have the wrong setting for "max characters per line"?

I think it's in the CD somewhere.

Just a thought. Other than that, I'm sure someone else will chime in who has a better idea.

[Tony35]

im thinking along those lines but not sure where that is

Look for the pcss post block.

 

It likely has an EOB command in it, which pushes everything after the output onto a new line

jparis

you the man that was it

 

so do i have to force G96 in that line if i want it in there?

Depends on the output desired but yes at times, you'll break out the variables you want OR alter the post block, in your case removing the e$ in the post may well yield the result you're looking to get.

 

There is also the

pcssg50         #Output Constant surface speed clamp
     if css_actv$, pbld, n$, *sg50, *maxss$, e$

That post block handles the G50, but alot depends on what post and what it has.

[Tony35]

removing the e$ didnt quite work but looking into the pcss i could use the right code (*sg9697, *speed,) now i just need it to output the speed (*speed)again jparis the man

 

sample

 

N80 G50 S2000

N90 G0 G95 X20. Z20. G96 S0 M42>>>>>>>>>>>no css

N100 T030303 M3 M8

N110 G0 X9.95 Z.041

N120 G96 S500

[Guest]

what does your pcss block look like now?

 

you might try putting the e$ back and adding the pgear callout in the pcss post block, instead of on the the other line

 

pcss            #Output Constant surface speed
     speed = g_speed
     if css_actv$, pbld, n$, *sg9697, *speed, spindle_l, !css_actv$, pgear, "TK3", e$
     !speed
