Multi collant codes

[Threept82]

Hi Guys,

I'm hoping someone out there can help.

When I use thru coolant. What do I need to change where both thru and standard coolant both post out?

( milling)

Thanks

If you're using X-Style coolant, you can change it in the control def

 

and in this section of the post

Is there a way to allow both to be chosen at the operation level?

If we go with coolant on then thru coolant is no longer available.

Using X style, you can set them up as different options.

M8 Flood

M51 TSC

M8 M51 Flood & TSC

You're mostly likely still using V9 style coolant

If you want and still use V9 style

 

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Coolant M code selection for V9 style coolant
# Note: To enable V9 style coolant, click on the General Machine Parameters icon
#   in the Machine Definition Manager, Coolant tab, enable first check box
#   Output of V9 style coolant commands in this post is controlled by scoolant
sm09    : "M9"       #Coolant Off
sm08    : "M8"       #Coolant Flood 
sm08_1  : "M8M130"   #Coolant WATERFALL
sm08_2  : "M51"      #Coolant Tool
scoolant : ""        #Target for string

fstrsel sm09 coolant$ scoolant 4 -1

 

 

But you only have 3 options available

Yes, V09 coolant.

That posted out nice but I can not have 2 M codes on the same line. 

[Guest]

Don't know how you're currently set up but you might have to break out the scoolant onto it's own line like such

pbld, n$, sg43, maz_hoff, pfzout, e$ #[if nextdc$ <> 8, scoolant, sm08_1], e$

pbld, n$ scoolant$

Then you could do something like this...I "think" it would work

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Coolant M code selection for V9 style coolant
# Note: To enable V9 style coolant, click on the General Machine Parameters icon
#   in the Machine Definition Manager, Coolant tab, enable first check box
#   Output of V9 style coolant commands in this post is controlled by scoolant
sm09    : "M9"       #Coolant Off
sm08    : "M8"       #Coolant Flood 
sm08_1  : "M8 M130"   #Coolant WATERFALL
sm08_2  : "M51, e$ M8"      #Coolant Tool  <-------Like this line
scoolant : ""        #Target for string

fstrsel sm09 coolant$ scoolant 4 -1

In all seriousness though, when you get to having and needing different options, it really is time to move to X style coolant....more options

[Leon82]

We use one with and one after if we want both coolants on.

 

Multiple mcodes is usually an option

if fanuc, it's just a parameter change (non paying option) PROVIDING the oem has written it into the ladder...

[nickbe10]

Ours will post out both before, with or after; any combination you have active, that is all fields remain active and functional even if one or two are already selected. And it puts them in the right spot for before, with after.

Works on Mori/Fanuc, Mori/Mitsubishi and Haas.
