GENERIC FANUC 4X MT_LATHE.pst problems with canned drilling

[John Williamson]

Hello all,

I have read a lot in the forum about enabling canned drilling cycles in the control definition manager. I did that and I had the same problem MSL had earlier, afterwards it only posted CUSTOMIZABLE DRILL CYCLE instead of g83. However, he was using the mplmaster post. I tried replacing the text in the post with the text that Chris Mcintosh supplied him with and it messed up my post processor. I assume it only worked on the mplmaster post. Does anyone know what I must change to get the generic fanuk post processor to work? I have edited it in a lot of different areas so it is 90% perfect for what I need it to do only no g83 and g84 yet. I'm using X7

if you can paste a snippet of what you edited in the post, with before and after NC code i bet the experts here could nail the answer pretty quick.

[John Williamson]

well, what I edited was pretty simple stuff. since I am the only programmer in this shop I put a line in the pheader to display my name,

changed the m8 to /m8

made canned rough cycles post in old one line format and added a D for depth of cut

removed the g28 w0 from the reference return line and the tool callout before m1

 

I tried to post the files but im not allowed

well, it seems I figured it out. sorry to bother!

[John Williamson]

one more thing I haven't figured out is how to make tool rapid to Z5.0 before G28 U0. That's a clearance move that we utilize here and I have to input that in every program I write. It would be great if I could write the PP to do it instead

[John Williamson]

nevermind, I figured that one out too!

[mkd]

glad i could help

Had the same problem, I almost got everything fixed, but for some reason the post wont output the cutting depth (for example Q1000)

Here's my drilling post block:

ldrill$          #Canned drill cycle, lathe      #Use this postblock to customize lathe drilling cycles 0 - 7      pdrlcommonb      pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgdrlref, pgdrlout, pxout, pyout, pzout,      prdrlout, dwell$, pffr, strcantext, e$      pcom_movea      pcanceldcl

I get this result :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

G98 G83 Z-1.2432 R0. F4.11

 

Any ideas?
