I'm wiring two pockets in the same part that have different thicknesses so I want to change my power settings for each pocket. I want to rough both then tab cut the slugs out and then skim. I'm using mastercam 8.1.1 and my machine has a fanuc control. Any suggestions?
Lars,
I tried it and did get a G92 but it puts it in place of the G0. Example: it used to post G0 X1 Y1, now it posts G92 X1 Y1.
I'm using MPWFANUC post for wire. It looks different than the example you gave for the mill.
code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
prapidout #Output to NC of linear movement - rapid pbld, n, sgplane, sgcode, pccdia, pxout, pyout, pzout, pcout, pcan1, e
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually looks like:
prapidout #Output to NC of linear movement - 2D rapid
pcantxt1, pbld, n, sgabsinc, pccomp, sg20code, pwtcode,
pxout, pyout, pzout, pwtout, strcantext, e
pwtoutaft
I changed it to:
prapidout #Output to NC of linear movement - 2D rapid
pcantxt1, pbld, n, sgabsinc, pccomp, sg20code, pwtcode,
pxout, pyout, pzout, pwtout, strcantext, e
"G92", e
pwtoutaft
Success!!! Now to go one step further, I want to have another line after the G92 that reads:
M98 P5001 K.251
where the K value is a number that I type in from say the misc real.
I tried:
prapidout #Output to NC of linear movement - 2D rapid
pcantxt1, pbld, n, sgabsinc, pccomp, sg20code, pwtcode,
pxout, pyout, pzout, pwtout, strcantext, e
"G92", e
"M98 P5001 K", mr1, e
pwtoutaft
and it puts out:
N110 X1.25411 Y.22673
G92
M98 P5001 K mr1 0.
where the 0. is the number I put in misc real 1. I don't know why it puts "mr1" in there???
I hope you can understand
I program and operate a Charmilles 310F (fanuc control) wire EDM with Mastercam version 8.1.1
Been able to iron out most issues but I find myself editting .nc files. Is there a way to get the post to put a G92 after every G0 line? Thanks
