G10 Output help please......


Recommended Posts

I am working on a MPMaster post to output G10s on a horizontal. I have it so it will output the first work offset, but will not post the remaining rotations. I have tried, most everything I can find in the forums, but am having no luck. The buffering is over my head. I am wondering if anyone has a copy of the G10 posts that were on the old ftp site. I cannot access that anymore. Might be my firewall at work, or it's just gone. Thanks in advance.

This post automatically adds G10's to whichever offsets you're using??

It can, yes.

If you use that G10 post above as a reference, my preadbuf9 is modified a bit from what is in the original..

Your notes/comments are actually written into the post?

Basic info is but I do have to edit after posting to to denote their actual distances from either a pin hole location of tooling ball

I could do it in the post using a question method but I have not figured out yet how to save the question answers so a repost doesn't require typing them all again

I'll probably just stick to outputting the G10 lines for now.  But this is something minor about MC that has irritated me for awhile.  Glad i found this post.

You might want to search for a thread called something like controlling Comments using buffers by djsteadman.

I moves manual entries sequenced before actual operations to after the header, or where ever else you might want them.

Has a separate "as comment" and "as code" for posting out G10 lines or initiating macro variables etc...

Using buffers allows the larger number of characters.

You could use different planes to control this and maybe not need to go about it that way. Let your PIN or Pickup feature have it's own WCS for the Post and use a mi or mr to trigger the post to store that position to then be recalled for how you want the output to be done and then go fro mthere. Maybe a mi6$ = 1 #Tooling Ball Pick up,  mi6$ = 2 # Pin Location Pick up or mi6$ = 3 #Bushing Pick up.

Ron,

If were machining a single piece, that is a solution that would make perfect sense...typically though, I have many multiples of pieces on a single tombstone through a myriad of transforms...

Program I am working on now will create 16 complete parts per each cycle but they are located in 3 machining positions on the tombstone....because of the tolerances of our parts, we use offsets for each position to control each part individually...

16 parts x 3 positions = 48 unique part positions

Each part requires 7 offsets in all 3 positions....112 uniques offsets....

I try to give the guys on the floor as little to have to think about as possible.....

But perhaps, something I'll think on....thanks for the idea  :cheers:

Conract your reseller. This happens to me at work and home, my reseller provides me with a magic code for each (the generated code at the site never works for me).
