I need help with my post because is no posting the comments in tools or in the manual entry it doesn't output the comments or the codes and I have already the option to get the comments
tool_info : 3 #Output tooltable information?
#0 = Off - Do not output any tool comments or tooltable
#1 = Tool comments only
#2 = Tooltable in header - no tool comments at T/C
#3 = Tooltable in header - with tool comments at T/C
pstrtool #Comment for tool
if strtool$ <> sblank,
[
strtool$ = ucase(strtool$)
*strtool$
]
pcomment$ #Comment from manual entry (must call pcomment2)
pcomment2 #Required if doing boolean 'if' logic testing!
pcomment2 #Output Comment from manual entry
scomm$ = ucase (scomm$)
if gcode$ = 1005, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$ #Manual entry - as comment
if gcode$ = 1006, scomm$, e$ #Manual entry - as code
if gcode$ = 1007, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn #Manual entry - as comment with move NO e$
if gcode$ = 1026, scomm$ #Manual entry - as code with move NO e$
if gcode$ = 1008, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$ #Operation comment
if gcode$ = 1051, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$ #Machine name
if gcode$ = 1052, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$ #Group comment
if gcode$ = 1053, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$ #Group name
if gcode$ = 1054, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$ #File Descriptor
well is more we've always done it that way, and it has worked quite well in time and the way we want. am not afraid about DWO but I want just start to use MC with the 5axis machine Actually we are using other CAM to program the Mill-Turns and the 5 axis machining when we need it, but that is because we don't have the post correctly for MC to work with the 5 axes so I am taking the first step to achieve it and, so to start to running I need first learn how to walk (talking in the 5 axis post)
am very interesting to have a post with DWO working at all but if I don't have I need to start with the basic post and start to develop as I need
but thanks for your comments are very helpful
I have a question
where is the option to put the tool in use in comments in G code by default ??
doesn't matter if I input info in the comments section I want the tool information always in the code, is that possible?
Thanks!!
HI 5thAxis, well basically here al the programming is from Center of rotation so the plan is will keep the same method in that way we can use the 5 axis machine like a Horizontal 4th Axis when we need it. I just want to configure the post for 3+2 and CL.
Hi this is my first post in the forum, I already know a little bit of how Machine Definitions control definitions and post works.
My questions are the next with the GenericFanuc5axis post can I make a starter point to get G code for this machine?
or you guys think I need to talk with one reseller?
the machine is a NMH6300 DCG with Fanuc control, for now, Im just looking work 3+2
