Ok, all you need to add is *tseq=1----before M6 line *tseq, ----on M6 line tseq = tseq +1---after m6 line these in the psof. and in the ptlchg section *tseq, ----on M6 line tseq = tseq +1---after m6 line you dont need to add any more than this!

I have this in post, It may not be the correct way, but it works!! *tseq=1 pcom_moveb c_mmlt$ #Multiple tool subprogram call *tseq,*t$, "M6", ptoolcomment #e$ *speed, tseq = tseq +1 this is in the psof section *tseq,*t$, "M6", ptoolcomment #*speed, tseq = tseq +1 and this in the ptlchg block.

Got it sorted!!! Customer gave me wrong info on cuttter!!!!!

the rad is on the inside of the bore!

Due to time a lollipop cutter approach is not an option!! I have managed to successfully flow line the 90mm bore, but no matter what I try on the square pocket, I always get some gouges even with direction on and gouge cut off! Any suggestions?

I have a piece of tubing approx 190mm dia with a 184mm dia bore 300mm long which has a 90mm bore and a rectangular pocket 90mm x60mm(60mm going thru the "Y" axis) which require 1.5mm rads on the inside edge of bore and pocket. the cutter i have defined is a 18mm slot mill,2mm wide with 0.99mm corner rads! any ideas as to best achieve these rads using a full 4th axis with L3 mill and solids! any help appreciated.

i have this in my post, at end of pretract and also ptlchg blocks if mi7$ = 1, [ pbld, n$, "G325H#148(TOOL BREAKAGE DETECTION,FORCED2)", e$ ] else, [ if (tldia$ <= 5.9), "G325H#148 (TOOL BREAKAGE DETECTION)", e$ ] " ", e$ if (mi5$ = 1), [ works well for my post!

Try G324H#148 at end of tool! This is tool breakage. It will detect within an amount(not sure of amount). If you put a Q value as well this will change limit! Ie q1 will give you a tolerance of 1mm, if tool is further out than that mc will alarm out. Hth

Create a helix with taper in left or right view, project that to 2d and use axis substution, top plane and 3d contour.

Ok what you need to do is add this to end of general output settings; hssw : 0 hsse : 0 and after the G43 line add these(I had to enter twice in my post) if mi8$ = 1, "G332 R1.(SPEED PRIORITY)", e$ if mi8$ = 2, "G332 R2.(INTERMEDIATE MODE)", e$ if mi8$ = 3, "G332 R3.(ACCURACY-DEFAULT)", e$ if mi8$ = 4, "G332 R4.(ACCURACY TOP PRIORITY)", e$ if (mi6$ = 1), [ pbld, n$, "G8 P1", e$ hssw = 1 ] if (mi6$ = 2), [ pbld, n$, "G5.1 Q1", e$ hssw = 2 ] and the remainder i added at the end of the toolchange part before the M30. also to change the info in the misc inters page you change either the misc inter strings in post or goto your md/cd to change them. if not message me and i will try my best to help! HTH Jason.

If G5.1 dosn't work try G8p1 works just as well as the g5! HTH

As dave said, comment out the G49! i have this in my post which is activated by the misc inters and seems to work well for my Mori NH5000. if mi8$ = 1, "G332 R1.(SPEED PRIORITY)", e$ if mi8$ = 2, "G332 R2.(INTERMEDIATE MODE)", e$ if mi8$ = 3, "G332 R3.(ACCURACY-DEFAULT)", e$ if mi8$ = 4, "G332 R4.(ACCURACY TOP PRIORITY)", e$ if (mi6$ = 1), [ pbld, n$, "G8 P1", e$ hssw = 1 ] if (mi6$ = 2), [ pbld, n$, "G5.1 Q1", e$ hssw = 2 ] bla bla bla bla if (hssw = 1), [ pbld, n$, "G8 P0 ", scoolant, e$ hssw = 0 ] if (hssw = 2), [ pbld, n$, "G5.1 Q0 ", scoolant, e$ hssw = 0 ] hope this helps! Jason.

Add this to post after g43 line! " if (mi6$ = 1), [ pbld, n$, "G8 P1", e$ hssw = 1 ] if (mi6$ = 2), [ pbld, n$, "G5.1 Q1", e$ hssw = 2 ] " And this at end of tool path " if (hssw = 1), [ pbld, n$, "G8 P0 ", scoolant, e$ hssw = 0 ] if (hssw = 2), [ pbld, n$, "G5.1 Q0 ", scoolant, e$ hssw = 0 ] " you will also need to add this to the General Output settings part "hssw : 0" also change the descriptor for Mi6 to " 6. "High Speed [ 1 = G8 P1, 2 = G5.1 Q1 ]" hope this helps

Ok, thankyou for your help Robert! Jason.

Robert, tried post and is outputting only B90.0 or B270.0! where do you capture the real mcx b figure from as that is what i want on the G10 line! getting the b figures right in rest of prog is fine as i have replaced Pfcout with "B0.0", "(MCX B OUTPUT = ", *cabs, ")" or something along those lines!

Robert I have put my post on the ftp server in the text and post files folder and called it "copy of mpmaster". looked for the output for the rotary output but thinking i have been looking at this for too long and getting nowhere!!! any help would be appreciated.

Robert-Spade Do you know of any way to output the B axis datum on G10 line instead of "B0" as i tend to leave all my B moves in prog to zero and let the G10 line control the rest of prog! Cheers Jason.

Is the control in Industry standard or Basic? does the control miss arcs out doing circle mill using perpendicular entry with line and arc entry I.E X-5. Y0. G43 Z50. H5 Z1. G94 G1 Z0. F2000.

Roger, given up trying to mod my post(thinking its a little over my head!) had a look around for the V9 pst and files but cant seem to find it! would appreciate it if you could let me know! cheers Jason

Hey Zoober have added this to my post! bearing in mind i'm a bit new to post editing(i can see the math/ logic in the statements) but can only get it to output (***********************************************) (*********** WORK COORDINATES START **********) G11 (*********** WORK COORDINATES END **********) i also get pst errors :-The formula/boolean does not terminate properly and :-Label has not been defined[34]about six or seven times!(the (34) is different in each case)! Any Ideas, Jason

Hi I have been modding the mpmaster post to suit a mori seiki nh5000 dcg! i pretty much have done all the main things i wanted but cannot get it to output the g10(workoffsets) lines at head of prog! Also copied bits and peices from an old post, that wont run on the m/c but outputs ok for that post but does not work when copied into mpmaster! what is the best way to acheive the g10 lines! thanks in advance
