Forcing A rotation value at each operation...

[Bill Henderson]

I am using a generic FADAL post. If I have mulitple ops at say A-215 it only posts that value at the first op (tool).

 

Where can I force that at each op?

 

Thanks for any input.

Search for the 'ptlchg$' post block. Then change the 'pcout' post block calls to 'pfcout'. The 'pfcout' post block forces output for the rotary...

 

Hope that helps,

If you need to force output for each tool, what Colin suggested above will work. But I understood your post to mean force at each op, regardless of toolchange? If that is the case, then find:

 

pparameter$	 #Read operation parameters
 #rd_params is used to call pparameter postblock and read the parameters of the operation specified in rd_param_op_no
 #"pparameter", ~prmcode$, ~sparameter$, e$
 if prmcode$ = 12025, rotary_axis2 = rpar(sparameter$, 1) #Capture the axis of rotation in Multiaxis Drill and Curve 5 Axis

 

(This is from Generic Fadal Format_2 4X Mill.pst)

 

and paste this right under the similar line:

 

if prmcode$ = 15240, cabs = c9k #This is the operation manager operation number, and resets cabs

 

This will cause a rotation to be output for every operation.

Thanks you guys.

 

Yes... for each op in case they try to start the program somewhere in the middle and rotation is wrong.

 

I would guess it would most likely be at a tool change but better safe than sorry I figure.
