I need to replace this \ output from the line below in my post with another character available in my machine control. Is it possible to do post side (No manual edits) Thanks in advance Rob Line from Post sopen_prn, "NC FILE - ", *spathnc$, *snamenc$, *sextnc$, sclose_prn, e$ Output line (NC FILE - X:\BROTHER\S28.TAP\S28320&1\O0581.NC)

I'm looking to add a misc real with a value of 1 to 10 in mr3$ and for the life of me I cant remember how to add this into my post processor for my AICC/AIAPC format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Allan had complete brain fade. Will do this when I'm back in work Friday. I've been converting a 4axis post to output as ncp code.

Looking for some help I need to output A axis as seconds. So 1 deg = 3600" A3600 is what im looking to output for 1.0 deg A64800 is 180.00 deg Any ideas on this would be very helpful as I'm stuck. Thanks in advance

Yes its a top wcs and a T-Cplane positioned and saved to the machining position (as looking down drom the spindle). B position is correct. A0 should be A90. and movement in Y direction not in X.

How can I stop the repositioning when posting of the A axis. I require the A axis to be A90. the way the toolpath has been defined and all movements to be in Y not as currently as output in X when posted. It seems to have revolved the toolpath to A0. not what is required. The orientation is correct in the MC7 WCS and planes. N100 T97 M6 ( 40MM BY 1MM SAW ) ( SAW 2ND SLOT ) G65 P8001 A0. B0.

I to would like to know if this is possible to do. As machine memory is small and we keep the subs on a data server. Accessing when called in running program with a M198. I have already got the subs on the bottom of my main program but this would save a lot of time if I could save the subs to there own files.

I dont surpose anyone here would have a couple of .rbf .cmd files I can have a look at to see how to program a 1990 Charmilles Roboform 20 cnc. Thanks

I work for a company with an offsite IT department. Computer is locked down tight. All updates have to be done through them and we only run the latest version software apart from MSoffice which is 97 they cant justify the update for it. New version comes out old is gone.

lol. Tried they are closed for the day. Was hoping too get it sorted before the morning.

I'm looking for a Generic Fanuc 5 Axis Mill Post to alter. Where would I find one as they don't seem to be on the cd/dvd anymore. Thanks

Dont even know if its that. From a personal point of view I dislike X4. Expanded parameters pages that have nice little pictorial representations. Come on whats all that about.

Post components Version 10??? Maybe not. [ 07-30-2009, 11:26 AM: Message edited by: Tr3bor ]

I am recieving this error. It is not effecting the NC output but is annoying. How or where do I look to resolve this error. 03 Jul 2009 03:14:45 PM - <2> - RUN TIME - - Negative tool numbers not allowed in tooltable. 03 Jul 2009 03:14:45 PM - <2> - Successful completion of posting process!

You also have this further down in your post: ptap #Canned Tap Cycle > pdrlcommonb > result = newfs(17, feed) # Set for tapping Feedrate format > pcan1, pbld, n, *sgdrlref, *sgdrill, pxout, pyout, pfzout, pcout, > prdrlout, *feed, strcantext, e

yours only has: ptap #Canned Tap Cycle Not what i said. you have put it in the wrong place should look like this: ptap #Canned Tap Cycle pdrlcommonb tap_out = n_tap_thds pcan1, pbld, , *sgdrill, sgabsinc, *sgdrlref, *xout, *yout, prdrlout, *speed, tap_out, strcantext, e pcom_movea

what is on that line? If you search this n_tap_thds. Loads of old posts about it. Where I got my information originaly.

drop the $ sign tap_out = n_tap_thds

Hope this helps. sg73 G73 #chip break - no dwell sg73d G73 #chip break - with dwell sg77 G77 #tap - right hand sg84d G74 #tap - left hand fmt J 3 tap_out #Spindle Speed for tap out ptap$ #Canned Tap Cycle pdrlcommonb tap_out = n_tap_thds$ pcan1, pbld, , *sgdrill, sgabsinc, *sgdrlref, *xout, *yout, prdrlout, *speed, tap_out, strcantext, e$ pcom_movea outputs: G77 G99 X-2.5028 Y1.1136 Z0.
