X TRAVEL LIMITS

Recommended Posts

I ran a search cause I know its in here somewhere but failed to find it. How can I set the limit of X and Y travel so the post wont bother  posting something that exceeds macanical limits of the machine. This is for a horizontal that is almost always programmed from center of rotation. Also I tried changing the numbers in the Machine def but it did not stop it from posting. MPMASTER Thank you

You would have to create an error variable & message text in the error messages section. Then you would need to create a postblock that checked the MD parameters and output an mprint. That would generate a warning if your code created toolpath outside of your machines physical limits. You could also have the post stop & exit with something like this:

if outside_limits = 1, result = mprint(saxislimitserror), exitpost$
