Colin,

I have this post set with all the options I want for 360 and all those settings in V9 and just used post update in X2 that didn't help check settings in post on X2 and they are all set to proper 360 and don't break

thanks

John

Have a quick question, Finally getting around to using VX2 MR2 and having little issue. Been e-mailing Greg back and forth we both seem to think the post is having issues . When trying to use thread-mill option no matter what you do in your settings to make the post output the thread as 1 single arc (360) the post will not do it seems to break arc into 180 degree.

Example

1/4-20

Z will move down in .025 in 2 moves instead of 1 complete .050 down on an external thread.

Post works fine in V9 though.

Also funny is when you change settings to allow complete 360 it works fine in contour though

weird huh.

Hope your watching Greg lololol

Any help would be great to get the threadmill option to output in 1 single 360 instead of 2 180's

ohhhhhhh yeah active teeth is set to 80

Thanks

John

Heavy,

With our Okuma's we have a variable set up in the post like this.

Example for tool 1

IF[ VATOL EQ 1 ] N100

T1 M06 (1.000 FLAT ENDMILL)

(ROUGH 3.500 TO +.025)

( MAX | Z.1 )

( MIN | Z-1.75 )

N100 G15 H2 T2

M01

the N number will change with each tool number and at the last tool on the G15 H2 line we have the post so it will all call first tool to ready position. This will avoid any tool change errors you may get

HTH

John

John,

I see you code is written for a version X post mine is for V9 will it make a big difference i how i input the code

John

John,

I never really had to play with Mi Variables. Would you happen to know how i could go about starting to create the "D" variable

thx

John

Yes it does Chuck you have any ideas

John

Yes that will work, butttttttt say I'm using a re-sharp 3/4 endmill that's .005 undersized , the first number in the offset say "D1O1: D1 is the main tool offset which will work and say i want the O1 to be used on the outside of the part . Than I want to use same tool to do a pocket inside the part than I want the offset to be D1O2 I can change offset number when setting up the pocket with the tool info but how can i get the post to handle this

D1 in other words is tool offset 1 and the O1 is the offset to use on the outside and the D1O2 is use offset 2 in the pocket but still also read D1

thx

John

I'm using MPA2100E post for my saber and arrow from Cincinnati yeah i knowwwwwww. Well he is sample of my output:

N70(DFS,"O1001")

N80 G91

N90 Y.265 F24.44

N100 G41 O1 Y-.265

N110 G3 X0. Y.53 I0. J.265

N120 G3 X0. Y0. I0. J-.53

N130 G3 X0. Y-.53 I0. J-.265

N140 G1 G40 Y.265

N150 Y-.265

N160 (ENS)

what I need is in Line 100 the O1 needs to be D1O1 .

Here are the parts of my post

______________________________________________-

# Toolchange / NC output Variable Formats

fmt O 4 tloffno #Diameter Offset Number

# Motion output components

pccdia #Cutter Compensation

if prv_cc_pos <> cc_pos & cc_pos & (gcode = two | gcode = three),

[

if omitseq = no,

scdc_error = scdc_error + strspace + strlp + strn + no2str(n) + strrp

result = mprint(scdc_error)

]

if prv_cc_pos <> cc_pos & cc_pos, prv_tloffno = c9k #Force Dxx#

sccomp

if cc_pos, tloffno

This cutter comp section has been modified from the original.I modified this section so it will give me an warning when I try to turn cutter comp on in a arc move.

The only reason why I need the post to output my Cutter Comp as D1O1(D2O2 D3O3 and so on for what ever tool number you are using) is because each machine handles the O1 offset differently and if you use D1O1 both machines will use the main offset page. The arrow you can use the main offset page to make comp changes . Mean while the saber if you go to the main offset page you can input all you want into the dia offset and it will never comp(you must go to totally different page when using O1 in the saber.

New operator scraped pretty expensive part today. Who when I asked him if he was sure in the different pages how to control the comp between the machines said helllllllll yeah ,so i left him not smart on my part

All boiled down to being my Arsh on the line today

And Johnny was not happy bout that today.

thx

John

OHHHHHHHH yeah still on V9 lololo

Heavy,

Use that post all the time on a Saber and Arrow. Check to make sure all switches are on for the Rot. also when you post say front,back and bottom it will put the A directions in there automatically for you.

Alexa,

have your reseller get a hold of Inhouse they make a great MP Master post for Okuma just got mine all tweaked in cept for couple little issues . Have 2 of the same machines and the post works great

Whats really the cats arshhhhh is use 4th axis A is output your don't use 4th ya never see it. Plus it is all set up to use misc values for thru spindle coolant at end of tool set up for dwell and airblast and some other really nice features

John

by the way which post are you using sooooooooo many Okuma ones out there as i'm sure the other Okuma guys will back me up on that. And they all have there own type of post build

Mick,

they have 2 4020's

just got a MA-550v also they have the 56V

loveeeeeeeee them all only draw back I'm over six foot so things can get little cramped when i have to go in the 4020's lolololol

John

Mid,

Sorry that 1 is for vX , looks for mcamX or something like that was hopin to find it but so far it's a big no goooooo . thanks for the tip though

John

Mick,

Thx little late lololololol told John bout that yesterday lloolol that's what it needs is the space. You know how the post xxxxe can be lolololo

thx

John

I know almost every-one here is running vX but is there a regular set-up sheet I can use in V9 . Really don't want to use the HTML 1 . Just 1 that will list tools dia offsets and all that good stuff.

thx

john

John,

That didn't do a thing . I can't remember did we use some kind of font or something like that to accomplish almost the same thing . I tried doing a search but could not find out what we used or did . I know it was like in the last couple months we used that

thx

John

see how in the first output the EQ and 1 are right next to each other EQ1 and need it to look like this

EQ 1

there is a space in the second 1 between the EQ and 1

john

OHHHHH yeah by the way sure does Code still couple guys around here i know still in V5 if you can even remember thatttttttt whewwwwwww but atleast not to many shops around here are vX more toward NYC and Conn for that

here is a sample of equation for for tool call out

IF[ VNTOL EQ1 ] N100 psof ptlchg_com

here is the code for my post

"IF[","VNTOL EQ", *t,"]", *n, e

what I need is

IF[ VNTOL EQ 1 ] N100

I need the space between EQ and the number 1 how can i get that space

thx

John

ohhhhhhh yeah if ya don't remember still v9
