Well, I just started...
I have everything now, I just need your help to point me on the right direction with math...
I'm sure that angles are not correct now. I can read zeros, vectors from MCAM.
But I'm not a math guy...
Any ideas can come!
I usually make a "Base Stock" Stock Model OP for start. In your case, you can extrude a solid, as I made on level 100 for stock.
Then you good to go in verify also. No need to play with STL files from outside. Just as I don't like too...
Which post?
In mpmaster try to change format numbers to 12:
fmt "X" 12 xabs #X position output
fmt "Y" 12 xabs #Y position output
fmt "I" 12 iout #Arc center description in X
fmt "J" 12 jout #Arc center description in Y
fmt "K" 12 kout #Arc center description in Z
Glass containers? My favorite...
If you use Parallel Finish or similar toolpathes often, I also suggest to use arc filter strongly and not only in XY plane.
I used on XZ and YZ planes also with lot of success on this kind of moulds and older machines.
But in this case I would use I-J-K on arc moves, instead of R.
Your older Okumas has OSP5000 control?
I suggest to force regen the operation after you change anything in and even if it not goes dirty.
You can setup a logic in post to check offsets and/or build a detailed toolist at begining of NC code with ALL offsets in NC code.
Me too...
THX dude! Also works for me, but the problem is with 20007-7 that it's from the original tool definiton, not from the given operation.
20007-3 should be OK, but holder length not. :/
That's why I need 15832 and 15836.
Hi all, I made it many-many times... But today... Pfff...
I'm try to dump into my favorit buffer the overall length of tool and holder from operations, but no luck...
I uncommented the following line, but no luck I can't find
pwrttparam$ #Pre-read parameter data
"pwrttparam", ~prmcode$, ~sparameter$, e$
Yes, I did this:
if prmcode$ = 15832, ToolLength = rpar(sparameter$, 1) #Szerszám teljes hossza
if prmcode$ = 15836, ToolHolderLn = rpar(sparameter$, 1) #Szerszámtartó teljes hossza
Any idea how can I get the 15832/15836 parameters?
Then you can use a pre-calculated variable, z_min$ it gives you de maximum depth of operation.
No need to catch 10029 parameter, just simply output it.
Your operation_depth variable already formatted, so, example:
#
operation_depth = z_min$
"( DOC =", *operation_depth, ")", e$
last_op_id = op_id$
#
Yes. Always almost...
Need to define EXACTLY what we want. Error check during post? List from these values in header section of NC code?
List from these values at tool changes in NC code?
Check and compare values to given Min/Max values?
