  1. I guess I should of also said that this is from a MPLFAN post that I have modified to work for Doosan turning centers

    with y-axis. I think this is a good start for pickoff cutoff ops but it needs a little work to be bulletproof. It also needs a few

    more misc. int. to control things like spindle sync, dwell time, and feedrates. This also needs a misc. int. for indexing both

    spindles in case of indexed geometry that needs to line up from one spindle to the next. This logic does not currently support

    indexing of the spindles  but could easily be added with a misc. int. Any help to iron this out would be much appreciated as I am

    trying to avoid using a macro for transfer stuff when I can simply output it at the pc.

  2. Ok so below is the logic I have created in pchuck$ postblock for POCO.
    It all works well with the wcs pickup on the face of the part only based on this logic.
    My current problem is that I am trying to use the pickoff cutoff to do a bar pull with
    the sub chuck but I want to pull the bar and then do a partial cutoff to relieve springing
    in the part. I am going from a rough face op to a rough OD turning op and then a sub chuck
    bar pull proceeded by partial cutoff. Well the problem is when you go from a rough OD turn
    to the sub chuck bar pull it treats the chuck op as a null toolchange and there is no retract
    in my previous OD turning op. How do I force a toolchange in a chucking op when there is no 
    option to do that. I would rather keep the cutoff after the bar pull as the part has little
    to no tolerance and I dont want to distort the part while grabbing it with the sub. I am
    only leaving about .06" with the partial cutoff. What logic would I have to use in pchuck$
    in order to apply a forced toolchange but only when I go from a turning op to a chucking op.
