yasnak 3000G post processor set up

[Greg 24]

Can anyone help me with modifing my post processor for a Yasnak 3000G control to drop the decimal points from the number format section? I am not sure what to change to make it drop them. I just purchased this mill and installed a BTR board on it to speed up getting a program into it (I have plenty of work waiting for it), but I need to drop the decimal points from the programs in order to send it into the control. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes this can be easily done with the change of format for the XYZ call outs in the post. Look for this section:

code:

---

fmt  N  4   n           #Sequence number

fmt X 2 xabs #X position output

fmt Y 2 yabs #Y position output

fmt Z 2 zabs #Z position output

fmt X 3 xinc #X position output

fmt Y 3 yinc #Y position output

fmt Z 3 zinc #Z position output

fmt A 11 cabs #C axis position

fmt A 14 cinc #C axis position

fmt A 4 indx_out #Index position

fmt R 14 rt_cinc #C axis position, G68

fmt I 3 i #Arc center description in X

fmt J 3 j #Arc center description in Y

fmt K 3 k #Arc center description in Z

fmt R 2 arcrad #Arc Radius

fmt F 15 feed #Feedrate

fmt P 11 dwell #Dwell

fmt M 5 cantext #Canned text

---

This is where you find the formats for them accordinly:

code:

---

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Format statements - n=nonmodal, l=leading, t=trailing, i=inc, d=delta

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Default english/metric position format statements

fs2 1 0.7 0.6 #Decimal, absolute, 7 place, default for initialize (

fs2 2 0.4 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place

fs2 3 0.4 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 4/3 place

#Common format statements

fs2 4 1 0 1 0 #Integer, not leading

fs2 5 2 0 2 0l #Integer, force two leading

fs2 6 3 0 3 0l #Integer, force three leading

fs2 7 4 0 4 0l #Integer, force four leading

fs2 9 0.1 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 1 place

fs2 10 0.2 0.2 #Decimal, absolute, 2 place

fs2 11 0.3 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 3 place

fs2 12 0.4 0.4 #Decimal, absolute, 4 place

fs2 13 0.5 0.5 #Decimal, absolute, 5 place

fs2 14 0.3 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 3 place

fs2 15 0.2 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 2/1 place (feedrate)

fs2 16 1 0 1 0n #Integer, forced output

fs2 17 0.2 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 2/3 place (tapping feedrate)

Just play with the format to get what you want.

What museum did you purchase it from?

 

Just Kidding!

See Mike that is in good fun nothing more nothing less. That is what is good about here alot get that joke as a joke.

 

 

So did this work for your not?????????

 

[Mike Mattera - TFM]

OK Ron You Got Me !

Your right. Since email (and posting) can easily be mistaken as hostile, It's important to make sure everyone knows your kidding. It probably wasn't a good joke for a new person on their first post.

 

But I Couldn't help it .

 

Besides your answer was right on the mark. There was nothing else to say .

 

So,To Greg 24: If you need additional information.

Here is a beer for you and every my way I will buy you a beer even though I quit drinking years ago.

Ron & Mike,

Thanks for the GREAT help, I have just about got everything set and will repost update tomorrow night.

 

Thanks Again,

Ron or Mike

I just wanted to say a BIG thankyou again for you help with the post set up. I however still have a couple of details about that (Yasnak 3000G) post. I changed some of the formats around and got it to drop all of the decimal points, but my problem now is that I can not get the "R" for a G2 or G3 to read like this R6920 for .692" (but without the decimal point) it just puts out R692 and I need it to put 4 places to the right. The other problem is when it reads (example) X,Y or Z of .235" it just displays 235 and like above with the "R" I need it to display 4 spaces to the right with a zero at the end of it. If X,Y,Z and R have a number such as .2351 it will display 2351 like it's supposed to. I just can't get the 0 to display when I need it to(2350). I need it to make (using the numbers as above) 2.351 display as 23510. Can you please help in detail for these formats. I have tried all of the suggestions from the link that Mike provided and example from Ron, but cannot get that part worked out yet. I am still using V8.1.1, if that will help.

Yes, I do know that the machine is very old, but I just could not pass it up because of the price and condition of it. I have been using it for about 3 months without no problems, except hand-typing all of the small programs in by hand. All of the bearings sound great and the ballscrew looks great and 0 backlash everywhere. I just got tired of typing and decided to buy a BTR board for it to speed things up a bit. Anyway, if you could help with the solution for this format, I will be forever greatful.

 

Thanks,

You need to add a "t" to the end of the fs2 line:

 

fs2 2 0 4 0 3t

 

will give you the trailing zeroes.

[Greg 24]

Is this true for the old style fs 's? If so Thanks.

 

Greg 24

[Glenn Stephens. from CCCS]

Yep. Works with both fs and fs2.

Glenn,

Thanks for your help, it works perfect now!!!!!!!
