Replacing G54 with G53.5 in mplmaster.pst

[Darin]

Hello,

 

I have a mplmaster post that I am trying to change the G54 to all G53.5.. It is for a Mazak lathe and it only uses G53.5 for WCS doesn't use anything else. I tried just changing the G54 and G55's to G53.5 but got errors and it still posted out G54... Is there a trick to this?

 

 

This is how I what it to post

if your it is how you say that you never need anything then G53.5 then there is one ugly but simple solution that should work. steps are:

1. open your post .PST file

2. search for postblock: pwcs

3. pwcs postblock should be pretty similar like the one from attachment. make changes described after triple pond sings (###) in each raw.

4. if that doesn't work then there will be need for extra descriptions.

 

yes you put simple G53.5 for g_wcs but because of some hiden routines in post it doesn't accept it on that way and posts just G54 instead. but this should be way to cheat it.

In your toolpath operation go to planes. In planes change work offset to 6. Hopefully this will do it!
