using mpfan post on lathe when doing a cycle need to leave stock with rough tool get the folowing code N780 G00 X-1.755 Z3.125 /M08 N785 G71 U.04 R200 N790 G71 P795 Q820 U0.007 W0.005 F.01 N795 G00 X-2.4875 N800 G01 Z1.8082 N805 X-2.33 Z1.6718 N810 Z1.1783 N815 G02 X-2.2795 Z1.153 I.0253 N820 G01 X-1.755 u and w on line790 is stock controller does not read stock statment and goes right to size controller is mori yasnek and reads the u and w as finish pass with rougher . When using same tool with out cycle leaves stock no problem if i use same tool in two different areas on the part the part with cycle has no stock for finisher and if i back off comp the part that is not a cycle will have too much stock left I know this is confusing for now i manually change my numbers to leave stock on cycle but know i will fat finger something and go bang

thanks gentelmen works great

running mphaas post need to change out put on post from g54 to g55 seems easy enough but cant seem to find where to change this any help would be appriciated we use g54 when we need rotory table only thanks in advance

we do mostly lathe work her and we use the cutting edge of insert and every thing works great. mc will automaticly figure the tangent point from cutting edge to give you good code so you dont have to use radius comp when programming . seems like using center of rad is more work for operator to figure out moves to follow program but what ever way works best for you is how you should go but i would not change your tool lib

that was an awsome read and makes you think may we should find a better source of power than nuke

running mpfan post slightly modifyed on a fortune lathe fanuc controll what i want to do is after a g71 or g72 cycle i need the first line of code to be a goo but its not im tired of hand editing how and where do i modify this im not to experanced with post modification but am willing to give it a shot have my post backed up so what the heck Thanks in advance to the ladies and gentlmen of the form

Hey paul you are already on the maintance program we have set it up for you any problems call me here at caratron

on thr ot controller the light only comes on when it reads the m30 end of program other eise it wont turn on

a raise is what your boss gets when you do a good job and write good gode to make the company money

sorry for the late reply but went home after i posted our web page must be wrong we are running 9.1 sp2 but only level 1 want to up grade to level 3 that is why they are looking at new soft ware up till now mc is fine

we use solid works for all our modling the company now is looking at changing to camworks for my software I am sure you guys like mc better after all this is a mc fourm not cam works and i sure like mc has anybody used camworks and if so give me some reasons to back up my position on mc i want to keep it . if its not broke why try to fix it

post it to ftp or email me [email protected] with file i do a whole lot of lathe work

i PULLED THE PLUG AND THAT DID IT 2nd time this has happened today told the boss i need a new computer he said he will look in to it oh ya i beleive him

up to now everything works just fine when i go to verify screen all i get is a blank screen but it showes processing tool on bottom of screen but does not shoe mw part or tool running 9.1 sp2 w/maint

you can always remove the speaker from there phone so they cant talk to anybody comes out easy no wires or anything just unscrew the moth piece take out mic screw back on

we make gears for the areospace ind my guys use solid works seems to work best for us no problems so far

you can run just about any baud rate as long as the dnc set up and the controller match if you are drip feed you will want to bump up much higher but just for file transfer it doesent much matter

ours are set to floppy i think when you insert a floppy it over rides the rs232

we have haas vf4 our settings are parity = even stop bits = 2 baud rate = 9600 data bits = 7 baud rat must match machine or itr wont work and I dont think a standard rs connector will work i think what you need is a rs connector with null modem i know we hade ro chance our pin config on connector and are using only 9 pins

lathe is easy most programs can be done in 2d mills can be alot more challanging
