Hi Guys.
Hopefully you can help. Mill9.1
Programming on indexer using transform feature.
When coding, MC codes my 1st tool twice and it doesn’t matter if have copy source, disable posting on or not.
File is in FTP Site in unspecified_uploads folder
file name - 3475.MC9
I don’t think I explained correctly.
When I start a new job First thing do is save it in folder like this;
C:COMPANYCOMPANY_NAMEPART_NUMBER???.MC9
So every job that’s not done with the same part no. is stored in a different location.
I'm looking to have MC search the directory of the MC9 file that is open at this time.
Hi Guys.
Is there anyway to have the data paths be all the same for what ever your working on at the time.
Example;
Say I've saved mc MC program in c:sm9Threept82 Now I want to import a cad file, I tell it to read a .X_T file. I want it to search
c:sm9Threept82 automatically
Thanks Ron.
I copied the tapping section into the
custom drilling 9 section and changed it
to my liking. It works fine as long as only one hole is done if more than one hole is tapped it codes as follows
N100T1M106
G0G90G54X0.Y0.B0S534M3
G43Z2.H#511M8

I have no idea why it throws in the G0G90
or where the sub call up is coming from.
I have (2) Sodick EDM wires A325 and A530 (5 axis)
both are AWESOME. Quick threading, and very good
cutting condition options, also a Sodick sinker.
Had Agie (ok machine) but...
Steve does S4A have any books that covers in detail misc. values, custom drill values and
any other none standard materials. I will
send someone to S4A to pick it up today.
Im using a modified MPMASTER post.
M3 before the cycle call on same line as the M109
code. I'm looking to add an aditional tapping call out (Rigid). Most of time I Tap using
a standard tapping head but in this case I can't
find a head that will fit the tap. So Im going
mill chuck and rigid.
Hi Guys.
I need to add a rigid tapping section to a post.
I think it needs to be done in custom cycles but
I've no idea how to go about it.
My code needs to look like this.
M109S???M3
G84G98................
But it needs to be on line above G84 line.

Hi Guys
When programming with subs, after coding MC puts
all subs after the main program.
Is there a way to have MC place subs before the main? (Other then manually moving main to end)
When our cncs read a M30 they stop reading.
I know its suppose to be % to % but they stop anyway(Something to do with the server. )
Hi Guys - Mill9 - Horiz.
Can anyone out there help me to force the
"B" axis index out at tool changes, even if
has changed or not but I need the output of
the angle to be correct.
