Offsets and posting for multiple

[chad fisher]

When i want to post for multiple offsets i use the transform function when i am done with all the programming to get G54, G55, G56, ect, ect, Browsing threw this site i found this

http://www.emastercam.com/posts/mpsubrep/mpsubrep.html

 

What would be the advantage of using the misc. values

in every opperation verse what i am doing now with the transform? Is it because the ability to post subs?

we use that subrep .pst we programe 1 part run on the machine make any changes if needed then in the first op ONLY set in misc int the values needed for the number of parts and walah its set up for the job and yes the sub out put is nice not alot of code ive never really done this in the transform function way so im not to sure of the advantage or disadvantage but in closing that subrep pst works great for us and our haas machines

also...

the only thing we did do is modify the pst to out put a local sub callout m97 not m98 if you machine controller has this ..so all the subs are in the main programe

I think i understand what you are saying. I downloaded it into my mcam folder. We run Haas's also. So what do you actually type into the misc values? And was any particular post you use? I use a haas post that reseller set up for a years ago.

The only problem i have with using transform is that if you have 3 operations that use the same tool it will jump to G54 to G55 and back again following the opperations instead of completing all oppps on that offset. Does your way prevent this. Sorry for all the questions I am sort of really in the dark on this. Out of the six that program/run the machines i am the only one who will try to multiples. Most of the time we are 1 or 2 piece orders but when longer running jobs come in it nice to be able to post this way.

Thanks

in the first misc sets the start of the offset ex...4=g545=g55 in the 3rb misc is the number of parts 4 would give you g54 g55 g56 g57 etc

the mpsubrep is the post ..out of the box it will run your haas with basic drilling and such but will out put m98 nonlocal subs we edited it for m97 local sub callout and for peck drilling and some other goodies but for multi parts we like this post

Greg your help is much appreciated!

I take it that you use the MPSUBREP.PST becuase i am seeing what you are saying now. I imagine that you have to edit that post to produce your desired format? Thanks again............Chad
