Inserting probe template


Recommended Posts

So I'm trying to get a template of our probe cycle to spit out as a tool operation. I'm trying to use manual entry but it connects the template file as part of the next operation.

Example:

N1 ( RENISHAW PROBE )
M191/*PROBE*/
G53Z0M58
T30M6
(READY)T1
M60
/2 G54 J0
/3 G55 J0

( -Z- )
G310 X Y Z0 R.5 B.1 C.1 T.1 W F E D
( -X- )
G311 X Y U Z-[#508/2+.1] R.5 C.1 T.1 W F E D
( -Y- )
G311 X Y V Z-[#508/2+.1] R.5 C.1 T.1 W F E D
( 4 WAY )
G314 X Y I J U V Z-[#508/2+.1] R.5 B.1 C.1 T.1 W F D E

After the first M1 I am wanting to break up the two sequences and have "N2 (SPOTTING .125 HOLES)" 

Am I going about this the wrong way? Will I even be able to get manual entries to have their own sequence numbers or should I be looking down a different path?

I was going to look into setting up each probe cycle in custom drill cycles down the line when I had more free time but I was just looking for something quick and dirty. My goal is to get my shops posts to the point that you don't have to do any hand editing to the program but in the mean time posting out just the template as an operation would be fine. Guess we could just do the whole copy/paste but then the operation sequences won't be in order without even more massaging of the program. :rolleyes:
