COOLANT...

[PcRobotic]

Hello everyone,
   I have added my custom "COOLANT" M-CODEs in the Machine definition such as M88 for thru spindle coolant ON,  M89 to turn off.  M88 does work well, at the end of the toolpath it still shows M9 not M89.  I looked at my post and I don't know which section should I look for.  Is it PCAN2 for after (please see image attached)?

 

 

Thank you,
   S.Luong

Look in your general machine parameters. Under the coolant tab

Doesn't M9 turn all coolant off anyway?

It does on our machines. Looks like he's running a Haas though. I never ran a Haas, so maybe it's M89

I know it's M89 but the definition control didn't make it spit out.  I don't know why it doesn't.

did you check the machine general parameters as I suggested? See my reply a few comments ago

I did, I put M88 and M89 but it only output M9, I don't know what I've done wrong.  Thank you.

TURN OFF THE CHECKBOX FOR 'First Coolant Off command shuts Off ALL Coolant Options'.      < That checkbox tells Mastercam that "M09" shuts off ALL Coolant.
