Hello,
I'm trying to modify Generic Haas VF-TR_Series 5X Mill postprocessor. There are xout, yout, zout variables in it for output X, Y, Z tool coordinates.
I need to assign a math formula to recalculate xout variable. For example
pcom_move
a = 10
xout = a + 5 - adding a value
n$, xout, e$ - output xout
but it is still output initial X value without adding a+5. What I do wrong?
Hi all,
I have 4 different coolant types on my machine. But they are only 3 types are active in General machine Parameters.
Please advise how to add another one? V9-style is used in the post.
Regards, Alex
Hi everyone,
I have head - head machine with A (-120+120) and C (0-360) rotary axes. It's possible to get the same tool position with two ways for such kinematics. For example A-90 C0 position can be achieved as A+90 C180. At the momemt my postprocessor outputs second variant (A-90 C180). Please advise how to minimize rotary movements and have A-90 C0?
geirsj,
I'm using MasterCAM X9. I managed to output tool length. I thought there is pre-defined variable for tool length and I just can't find it's name in manuals. Your reference to NCI guide helped me. Thanks.
