Moving tool offset cancel


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I am having a problem figuring out how to change my post. The machine needs to have the tool offset cancelled before the next tool call out, or the offsets will "stack up". The post does this for me, but I would like it to do it after it gets to a safe position, not right next to the chuck :angry:. I know how to edit the post, I just don't know what to change. I know where the command for home position is just not where the "tool offset cancel" is. Any help is appreciated. Oh X2 and it's an old Mori.

The ref return and the tool offset cancel should be in the post block pl_retract. If you have a mill-turn it will also be in pm_retract.

 

In both post blocks you will see a line with sg28ref or "G28" (ref return line) and right before that line should be the tool offset cancel which will probably have the variable toolno.

 

From there, you should be able to cut the tool offset cancel line and paste it below the G28 ref return line.

@Aufreisen Search for "  toolno = t$ * 100 + tloffno$ " in your post,  and just remove that line

@littlerob  Find   toolno = t$ * 100 + tloffno$  and remove   tloffno$
Your output will be like this T0200 
Use debugger to locate where is your tool output and where is your reference point output.
After that just place tool output above your reference point output.

If you want I can send you example.

Kind regards

Ivan.
