Post help

[Robert Ouellette]

I would like some help in editting our post for our waterjet. We have to manually edit all of the M08 ( jet off) and replace with M08 G04 /0.3 ( jet off pause 0.3 sec) so we dont cut through part on rapid to next point. Where would i chand it in the post to out put it how i want it? It is an old post from MC7. boss never updated it to 8.1.1 . We have MC7 and mc 8.1.1. use same post for both.

 

Not asking for a post just some help

just putting that in for some fire protection ))

Bob,

you can hard code that in.

First backup your post !!!!

then look for sm08 M08

 

then make it sm08 M08 G04 /0.3

 

that should do it

Another option

 

If you wanted to do it another way, you could also search for 'scoolant' and hardcode your dwell in after it

 

Don't know how well that'd work but probably something you could play with

I think either way would be a workable option though using scoolant will give you more flexability because you can then choose to use it or not.

hard coding it to output the g04 is what i was looking for. thanks. But what is the scoolant option? what would i have to change and how would it work?
