Lets see the machine, its an e-1600V?? I used to run a few 1550's , bitchin machine!

From what I last heard the prices are really low right now. That is probly the issue.. I have heard of 10-12$ a pound, I think pricing is just in the dump currently.

Holy smokes that is AWESOME!

As others have said.. Mitsubishi is great, what I have always used.

I've used the MItee Bite expansion clamps on quite a few different parts. They work well when they are needed.. Generally ive used more than one at a time though, not a single one. Used them on horizontal parts, 5 axis mill turn machines (40" mill - turned parts) etc..

Disregard this post

Ok I dug a bit more, and I found a "Null tool change logic" segment under ' papproach0 ' If I insert my tool length setting on , and all that it seems to post correctly... Hopefully this works and only affects this area..

I dont know what section that is? Can I do something like this? pfzout #Force Z axis output *sgtlng_on, *tlngno$ if absinc$ = 0, *zabs, !zinc else, *zinc, !zabs , ms_z = zabs I added the first line , *sgtlng_on, *tlngno$ it seems to work.. Except for the initial call, it double posts the g43, .

So more post trouble... the post wants to output a safe index (g91 g28 z0) between paths... Ok I am fine with that at this point, but it doesnt recall the tool offset... How can I add this between index's so after the offset is called for the next rotation it will post my tool length comp? Thanks

Yes I have a .psb with it as well Does this mean I cannot edit the .pst?

It is a post I had finally got from InHouse.. Not sure what post they build off of. I literally am 2 months deep into this, and I would prefer to try and just make a small alteration if I can myself instead of trying to go back through the dealer/inhouse... I had received the inital post over a month ago which did not even close to match my sample code, sent it back and it took another month. I just cannot wait this long I really need to get it sorted out... Makes my life stressful

No I dont. I want M1's between tools for OP Stop. But not inbetween toolpaths within the same tool. Like every B rotation, it is posting an M1. I am not seeing a prog_stop switch at the top of my post Colin... I will keep looking for something that makes sense though, and see if I can make it work

My horizontal post I am working on seems to be posting an M1 between paths. For example, I am facing 4 sides, and this is what it posts: ...more code up here.... X9.7G0 Z2.G91 G28 Z0.M1(FINISH FACE)M11 (B-AXIS UNLOCK)G90 G56 X-9.7 Y-1.6571 B-90.M10 (B-AXIS LOCK)Z2.Z.2 I dont mind the safe retract, but I would like to get rid of the M1 in between paths. It doesnt have force tool change active or anything like that.. I have the debugger open, I tried getting rid of one of the associated lines I thought was calling the M1, but it also deleted the g91 g28 z0, which I prefer to have just for a safe index.. How can I get rid of this M1? I put a screen shot of my debugger at the M1 line. Thanks

Does anyone have a post I can try and use? I have been trying to get a post for at leats 6 weeks now and I still have not received a functioning one... Makino horizontal, Pro 5 control..... Thanks

He's still around , I don't know if he posts much on the forums though anymore.
