Hi, I'm having an issue with an old post processor for an AXYZ router with an A2MC controller. Ever since the post processor was created, we have added a tool to our library. The router has 3 heads and each head has its own M code for mister coolant On/Off. Head #2 & #3 have exclusive tools that we leave in there and head #1 is where we swap the rest of the tools. So basically we need the post to go "if Tool #4 is called, activate mister for head #3, if tool #2 is called, activate mister for head #2, etc. I looked up the post in notepad and I found the following: # Coolant M code selection sm09 : "M09" #Coolant Off sm08 : "M418" #Mister tool On # 1-5-6-7 sm08_1 : "M420" #Mister tool On # 2 sm08_2 : "M424" #Mister tool On # 4 sm09_1 : "M419" #Mister tool Off # 1-5-6-7 sm09_2 : "M421" #Mister tool Off # 2 sm09_3 : "M425" #Mister tool Off # 4 scoolant : "" #Target for string fstrsel sm09 coolant$ scoolant 7 -1 As you can see, each head has its own set of M code. Head #1 is M418/419, Head #2 is M420/421 and Head #3 is M424/425. We now have a tool #9 and I don't know how to add it to head #1's pool of available tools (it currently triggers on tool #1-5-6-7). How do I tell the post processor to trigger M418/419 on tool #9 as well? I looked everywhere and couldn't find anything. Thank you very much for your time -
Hi All, I'm having weird things happen when editing toolpaths. I've found that when editing simple things like feed rates in a toolpath, Mastercam will then post out coolant offs, turn on a different coolant, then turn it back on, etc. It's directly correlated to the point(s) I've edited. Is this something weird happening to the NCI file when editing a toolpath or is it the post? Thanks in advance.
