X6 Lathe add tool information

[Hertz]

Hey guys, I am trying to set the lathes up for posting out the exact tool information. Its a Lathe with Live tooling. Hyundai WIA L400LMC. What I am trying to accomplish is for the post to output the Tool Holder name and the insert name along with the "Tool name" we designate.

Example we have a large and small OD rougher tool, so of course for selecting the tool, I'd like the program to output that name(which it does), however it doesn't output the Tool Holder and Insert name/grade. I have it set in the parameters but not sure if this is a post mod or a switch somewhere in X6.

^{Which post are you using? I switched my lathe post to MPLMASTER post that I got off this site and it outputs the insert and holder nomenclature and the name of the tool.}

I'm using a Hyundai Mill/Turn post. I am not sure if this was set up by the dealer or if it was originally selected as is. The thing is, will the mplmaster have the proper code for this lathe?

 

EDIT - Just tried the mplmaster post and it was the same, still not outputting the info I need.

Did you look in the post to see if there is a switch for tool table output? I set up my lathe post a little bit ago and don't remember all the steps. I don't remember any problems with it though. I will look at it at work tomorrow.

"General Output Settings" in the post - tool_info should be set to 3. Can you check and see if that is what it is set to?

 

I have a screenshot, but am not permitted to upload bmp files for some reason. If you want it you can send me a message with your email and I will send it to you. It's not hard in the post, just scroll down a little bit. "General Output Settings" is on line 264 of my version.

Brain bmp are huge if you go to a png you can upload with no problem. Also bmp can have a virus in them and png and jpeg are not that easy.

Ah, OK thanks. I will make sure to get the right extension in the future.
