Hi All:

I program for several different machine types. I am trying to fine tune the posts so the same MC9 file will out to all machines types.

1: For my Fadal post I want remove 4th axes code at the begining of the program.

Example:

%

N1 O0002(MP-P0002)

N2 G20

N3 G0G17G40G49G80G90H0E0Z0

N6 T1M6

N7 M61 (remove)

N8 A-0. (remove)

N9 M60 (remove)

N10 G0G90S300M3E1X0.Y0.

It slowes down the machine while the brake goes on and off.

2: For my ProtoTrak post I want to remove the line numbers and remove M8 & M9 even if the MC9 file has it turned on.

Thanks for the help....

Gary

in the previous message I had to change

prv_tloffno = c9k

to

prv_tloffno40 = c9k

and it works great

Thanks for the help...

Gary

Thanks All:

The post is working with one problem. After a tool change the first D outputs OK. G41 D41 X0 y0. But the rest of the G41s have no D. G41 X0 Y0.

Sample code:

T19M6

G0G90G54X-10.0708Y-3.154A0.S2139M3

G43H19Z2.M8

Z.1

G1Z-.27F6.42

G41D59X-9.9626Y-3.2165(has 40 added to D. OK)

G3X-9.5876Y-3.R.25

X-10.6956R.554

G1G40X-9.6621Y-2.8202

G0Z2.

X-.0533Y-3.154

Z.1

G1Z-.27

G41X.055Y-3.2165 (Does not put D for each G41

G3X.43Y-3.R.25

Here’s what I changed

# Toolchange / NC output Variable Formats

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

fmt T 4 t #Tool Number

fmt T 4 first_tool #First Tool Used

fmt T 4 next_tool #Next Tool Used

fmt D 4 tloffno #Diameter Offset Number

fmt D 4 tloffno40 #Diameter Offset Number + 40 #added this line

fmt H 4 tlngno #Length Offset Number

pccdia #Cutter Compensation

#Force Dxx#

tloffno40 = tloffno + 40

if prv_cc_pos <> cc_pos & cc_pos,

prv_tloffno = c9k

sccomp

if cc_pos, tloffno40 #Changed from tloffno # Changed this line

Is there something I need to change?

Thanks again

Gary

Hi all:

I hope I can describe what I need so you can under stand it. I have to program the same parts to run on three different machines. Fadal, Mazak, Matsuura.

What I am want to do is make one MC9 file with the tool dia. offset and tool length offset set the same as the tool no. (under Job setup, Tool Offset Registers, Add checked, length and diameter set to 0). Then, when I run the post for Fadal and Mazak, it will out put T1 - D1 - H1.

Can I change the mpfan.pst so that I can use the same MC9 file (with tool dia. offset set same as tool number) but have the post output T1 - D41 - H1 ?

Basically take the tool dia. offset and add 40 to in the post..

I hope I haven’t confused everyone..

Thank

Gary

Thanks rekd.. that was just what i was lookin for..

Hi All:

If I start a new mc9 file and save it as "new port.mc9" and post my nc file. Then I see my spelling mistake. It should be "new part.mc9". I can rename my mc9 file and resave it. But when I repost the nc file it still comes out as new port.nc not the corrected name Where in mc9 do I change it so it will post the corrected file name..

Hi All:

Is it possible to insert a saftey/stop move before or after a operation on the Operation Manager?

M0

This is for Fadal.

Like this....

Hi ALL

I have updated several mill V7 post to version 9 and when I run them i get...

Errors were detected during posting - combined mill lathe processer. post version does not match executable version.

Combined Mill and Lathe Post Processor Version 9.00r © Copyright 1992-2002 CNC Software, Inc.

Processing file with FADALSUB...The post version does not match the executable version, Run UPDATEPST9

But I have already run UPDATEPST9 on it..

What could be wrong.

Thanks

Gray

Thanks

That fixed it.

Thanks

I can always count on a answer...

I have been running Mastercam v7 on a old Pentium 233 till it refused to boot up for the last time. Now I’m running Mastercam v9 mill 1 on a Dell 100D Smartstep. That's a Calderon processor. Could that be the problem?

They(purchasing)said they would get my a better video card if I will guarantee it will solve the problem...

Ok

I know it is pretty week. What Video card do you reccomend? I'll install it...

Thanks

Gary

I am using V9. When I am programming I go to Contour and start pick some entities I use to see a green arrow at the start of the entities and a red arrow at the end of the entities or at a branch. Now when I pick entities the arrows blink on to the screen for about a millisecond and disappear. How can I fix this so the arrows stay on the screen.

I am using Mastercam V9 Mill level 1 and Windows 98 2nd Edition.

I went to:

MY COMPUTER

CONTROL PANEL

SYSTEM PROPERTYS

DEVICE MANAGER

DISPLAY ADPTER

it says

INTEL®82810 GRAPHICS CONTROLER

Thanks

GARY

I'm not sure what your asking.

I went to:

Is that what you are looking for?

Gary

And Intel graphics card..

Hi:

I finally talked them in to updating from V7 to V9 and is is a great improvement.. My question is, after I draw a part out how can I print out that part so I can have a hard copy to take to the machine?

Thanks

Thanks

I'll call my dealer

I have installed the update from V7 to V9 mastercam. I ran HASP SETUP and it installed the drivers. Then I ran HASP9 Utility and it list the correct serial no. from the V7 HASP and the correct mill level.

When I run Mastercam v9 it says Warning: milling is not emagled on SIM. Then the program exits.

What do I meed to do to fix it.

Thanks

Gary

Glenn:

When I went to get mazak.mch I found a post called fadalsub.zip . Do you care if I download that file too? Will it work with version 7 mill level 1?

Thanks

Gary

Glenn:

Thanks All:

I think that will work..

Thanks All:

I am useing CNC-EDIT and I need help sending and recieving files to/from Mazak with M+ controls. Is there someone that can check parameters G1 through G13 in their Mazak control and tell me what they are set to? And what to set CNC-EDIT to. I keep getting Pairity Error H & tape reader error. I have tryed many times over the past 3 or 4 years with no luck. Once we had the MAZAK Service Rep. try for 4 hr @ $125.00 and he couldn't do it.

Thanks
