YCM 4th Axis Post Edit Help!


Recommended Posts

I have a ycm 4th axis post that works perfectly as far as machining. The only thing I want to change is how do I get rid of it going back to A0. at the end of every tool change?? Like I will be machining at a 90degree angle and the next tool will do the same but before it gets to the next tool it wants to home to A0. first then change and go back to A90. or whatever angle I am machining at. I have to manually delete the A0. out of every tool change to make sure it doesn't go back. Thanks!! If you need to see my post I can attach it let me know!

This could be in pretract, pretract0 or peof depending on your starter post. My bet is its a string literal so look at these postblocks and see if there is a "A0" on an output line.

As Ron said, I have mine set up via Mi 7 and Mr 7 to give me a choice whether I output (Mi 7), and if I want it to go to a specific rotation angle I enter that in Mr 7.

But this is not the default post condition, so you may have to hunt a little, depending if the post editor knew what he / she was doing.

Do you know how to use the debugger?
