Post formating E to F

[Iceman_one01]

One more thing!

We are using the standard MPLFAN post from mastercam,

our lathe is a regular 2 axis single turret with a fanuc 0iTD controller.

The current posts for outside thread.

G20

(TOOL - 5 OFFSET - 5)

(OD THREAD RIGHT INSERT - NONE)

( OD THREAD )

G0 T0505

G76 X.2993 Z-1. P372 Q70 R0. E.0625

T0500

M30

I need to change or format the E.0625 value for the feed to F.0625.

How can I do this?

Thank you.

change the "e" to "f" as shown below.

 

#Format feedrate for lathe thread (E)

result = nwadrs(stre, feed)

 

 

#Format feedrate for lathe thread (F)

result = nwadrs(strf, feed)

change the "e" to "f" as shown below.

 

#Format feedrate for lathe thread (E)

result = nwadrs(stre, feed)

 

 

#Format feedrate for lathe thread (F)

result = nwadrs(strf, feed)

Bryan,

Thanks a lot this worked great!

Is there any advantages using the mpmaster post processor v.s. the mplfan post on a 2 axis fanuc lathe?
