2017 psot issues for Hass ST20Y


Recommended Posts

hello all, just bought a new ST20Y and purchased Mastercam 2017 with Lathe module 2 months ago. rookie to say the least. first three parts we made posted & cut fine. (X,Z only) now our last part needing axial & radial live tooling verifies fine in mastercam but when posted to the Haas throws numerous odd errors.

 

using the generic Haas ST 4x MT_LATHE post that comes with Mastercam that the salesman assured me would work perfect with my ST20Y.

 

my question is does anyone here have an ST20Y with live tooling working properly with Mastercam 2017 lathe?  I spend my allotted 2 hours on the phone today with my re-seller to no avail.

I've been using the MPLMASTER my reseller gave me in 2012. It's solid on the Y axis code, but it still has a few issues. I tried to post a program once with the 4x MT Mastercam post in X9 and it had problems. I don't remember what they were. My reseller just sent me the ST 4x MT for 2017 and he said it's been working good. I haven't tried it yet.

Can you post up what g-code you are getting?

 

Thanks for the interest in my issue. I will do my best to articulate what is going on, remember I'm as new as they come. Tool 3 worked as programmed.

First issue: Tool 5 post a G55 instead of G54

Second: Lost my Y coordinate (Y.247) in Tool 1

Third: Posts a F0. in tools 12, 8, & 2

Fourth: Although programmed for a .1 retract move for reamer in tool 2 it posts a (R-.0114)

 

That's what I found so far. I hope this makes sense. Thanks fro any help,  Mike

It really seems like you need some training, not just post modifications. Feedrates of Zero usually means you didn't set a value in the Operation Dialog box. Same issue with Work Offsets, they are set in the 'Planes' section, by enabling the 'Work Offset' checkbox and setting a value of '0' for G54. Mastercam will auto-increment the Work Offset if the box is unchecked or set to -1.

 

This post has some "switches" in the Miscellaneous Values box, where you can enable different modes on the machine. That might solve some of your Milling issues. If you are new to CNC Lathes, then you should get some more training from a Haas AE as well.

 

A morning or afternoon with your Reseller would likely solve many of your post issues.

On your first operation it looks like you are trying to use a face contour. I think the best way for this toolpath to work is using (Milling Mode) G112. It converts everything to X and Y instead of X and C.

 

On the post for 2017 you need to put in a G17 before the G112. I also added a G18 around the G113

 #Face canned cycle start code, G112 (break ramp)		  pbld, n$, *sg17, e$          pbld, n$, *sg112, e$          prv_xabs = c9k, prv_xinc = c9k, prv_cabs = c9k, prv_cinc = c9k          compok = one
 if abs(prv_cuttype) = two, pbld, n$, *sg113, e$  #Face		pbld, n$, *sg18, e$

Other than that like Colin said it has to do with the work shift

 

Right click on your toolpath group and click edit selected operations, then click renumber work offsets and set everything to zero.

Thanks for the input. Yes I do need training. And Yes feed rates were set in the Operation Dialog Box and Yes the Planes sections had '0' 's for G54. That's why I'm here. Mastercam's generic Haas post is definitely generating some erroneous numbers while omitting others. If I were to generate the same  post without any of the  C & Y toolpaths all my feed rates come back and the program is flawless.

On your first operation it looks like you are trying to use a face contour. I think the best way for this toolpath to work is using (Milling Mode) G112. It converts everything to X and Y instead of X and C.

 

On the post for 2017 you need to put in a G17 before the G112. I also added a G18 around the G113

 #Face canned cycle start code, G112 (break ramp)		  pbld, n$, *sg17, e$          pbld, n$, *sg112, e$          prv_xabs = c9k, prv_xinc = c9k, prv_cabs = c9k, prv_cinc = c9k          compok = one
 if abs(prv_cuttype) = two, pbld, n$, *sg113, e$  #Face		pbld, n$, *sg18, e$

Other than that like Colin said it has to do with the work shift

 

Right click on your toolpath group and click edit selected operations, then click renumber work offsets and set everything to zero.

Thanks RocketMachinist . I received a newer .pst from my re-seller this morning that fixed the feedrate problem and  renumbered the work offsets as you said. Now I just have to figure out why my reamer doesn't want to retract to my programmed value. Thanks everyone for the help. If anyone is interested I can share the .pst my re-seller provided to those of you who need to know.   

Regards, MIke
