Inserting a Line of Code when posting

[enortuc]

I have very limited experience working with a post.  I am doing some machining with a saw blade.  When the program completes the saw blade continues to rotate for another minute or so after the M05 until it comes to a stop.  I did find by entering these two lines in the code before the M05 it stopped with no problem (M03 S1000)(G04 P10).  So by reducing the RPM and putting a slight delay in there I solved one problem.  Now my second problem is being able to do this automatically without having to enter this code in every time.  Is there a way to make this happen if I just choose a specific tool?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank You

 

Here is the end of the program the two lines I would like to insert are right before line "N290 M05"

 

 

N280 G01 X7.598034 Z12.7938

N282 G00 Y.5

N284 (TCP)

N286 (UIO,Z(L370))

N288 G00 X7.598034 Y.5 Z12.7938

N290 M05

N292 G00 G79 Z(@ZPARKP1)

N294 G00 G79 A0. C0.

N296 G500

N298 M30

We need more info to help you. You can use Misc/real integers or canned text to make the two lines of code happen when you want it to. I would prefer canned text myself. Can you add the section of the program you need changed?

You can also use manual data input.

In your pretract post block, you should see the output for M05

 

      pbld, n$, sccomp, scoolant, psub_end_mny, e$

      pbld, n$, *sg90, sg49, "Z0.", "M05", e$

 

You will want to add logic so that if the current t$ is your saw then it would output the commands you are looking for.

 

     if t$ = 15, [

      pbld, n$, "M03","S1000", "(SLOW DOWN THE SPINDLE)" e$

      pbld, n$, "G04", "P10", e$

      ]

      pbld, n$, sccomp, scoolant, psub_end_mny, e$

      pbld, n$, *sg90, sg49, "Z0.", "M05", e$

 

The real issue here is that the VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) parameters are a bit messed up.

You can program the parameters of the VFD so that the spindle stops dead on an M05.

The machine builder likely has this set conservative to prolong spindle motor life.

My logic is showing that if Tool #15 was the tool you wanted to slow down before stopping, it would output it.

To make the logic easier to use picking a specific tool is the easiest way; there are other methods as well.

 

 

The output you show appears to be 5axis; so your post provider can add this logic for you.
