Thanks Greveous74 This is going to take me a bit to digest, but it looks great...

Merry Christmas to all, I want to add a comp macro to our post so that we will not forget to enter a comp value in the register when needed, we program online so if we forget we make BIG holes or small Blocks. the code lookes like: N4T4M6(2" INCH COMP= RAD.) Y_[1]=$TC_DP6[$TC_MPP6[9998,1],1]*1 IF(Y_[1]>1.01)GOTO N5555 tool radius +.01 IF(Y_[1]<.99)GOTO N5555 tool radius -.01 G49G53Z0.Y0.X-18.M9 GOTO N6666 N5555SETAL(65000) M00;CUT COMP ERROR N6666 I want this tied to G41 /G42 so it is only output on tools with comp I believe I can Force All the code and the ±.01 , if I knew where in the post "Comp" and "Tool Radius" is? Thanks Forum

Thanks Steve,that is the best I can come up with... my appologies John...

How do you set up Verify so that it starts at the last place you stopped rather than going thru all your previous ops, I get to places in programs where I will almost verify each path to be sure I am not violating my part so as all of you know starting at the beginning every time is slow. Thanks Everyone 9/11/01 Never Forget

Thanks Guys I have been doing the correct Z with the crash but my partner missed one and we had a short thread so the issue just come up, I thought I would double check to see if there was an easy fix.

Greetings Forum By default in mastercam once you select the "Threading" tool type in mastercam the tool setting options are gone and you are left with the Zctr Xtip setting option. Our SOP is to use the Standard Od / Id and Z face setting, I guess the logic is to more easily thread up to shoulders and faces, any of you have a suggestion as to how I can change the Setting on my threading tools. I know I can select an Id / Od tool and drive it and live with the verification but if you have better suggestions I would love to hear from you...

Quote "only if the operator calls up the wrong program after a power outage" Exactley, we are trying to remove as many possible glitches as possible...

Thanks again for the added input, you raise a good point Craig, I believe the the parameter you are setting is in the handyman page, and that works great while right in process, however you could shuttle in "B" pallet and well lets make believe the power goes out or any other shut down scenerio you like, you could then restart the machine and incorrectly execute the wrong program on the wrong pallet. I am trying to find the Variable for each pallet and incorporate a check at the start of each program...

I hate when I do this I see the answer to my own right AFTER I post a dumb question I see now "IF[#4006EQ20]GOTO120 is your english metric call... Thanks again Craig..

Thanks Craig we will give this a look,is "IF[#4006EQ20]GOTO120" your Pallet recongition to be sure you are running the proper program on the proper pallet? Thanks Kennebec

Matsuura G-Tech 840DiS Control Pallet Change O9901 M16 M9 M61 M70 M99 During Setup in "Handyman" Mode the Machinist will assign the "A" Pallet Program to A pallet and "B" Pallet Program to B Pallet from then on based on Limit switches the machine knows what pallet is in Que and what pallet is in machine position and will run the assigned Program.

As it Turns out you are right it should be Zero however the book reads "Position to Set" this to me implies I can say what I want that location to be, but that is not the Case, Except in the 8003 (Z set cycle) You can set the Z to the K dimension.

Thanks guys for the info... Pilot Plant, yes I can save as STL but QC is not real satisfied with that they would prefer In Process Iges Models as the discussion continues.

Greetings Forum Inspection would like to start offline and proactive programming up comming inspections,(as it is now machines can be down waaaaaay to long on complex inspections)Programming has been asked to provide them with data, for a finished part I can simply output the Model we use to the format requested, the problem arises when incorporating multiple processes to "inprocess conditions" as it is now I simply leave material X and Z for the next operations, apparently it is not that simple in QC, so aside from making inprocess models do any of you do this or have any suggestions? Thanks Forum
