  1. Hi guys, We are using a 4 digit tool number in our tool library that works great for the Makino mills we have. We are trying to standardize this process over to some Hurcos. The Makinos use H1 D1 for offsets because we use the tool management. The limitation on the Hurcos is that they only have 199 registers for diameter offsets, and apparently the restisters cannot be re-numbered. So regardless of the tool number, the diameter offset needs to use 1-199. I have a buffer that extracts tool numbers from the pwrtt$ postblock. This is what the tool table looks like at the beginning of the program: ( T3293 ( GARR VRX - 27763 0.5 Bull-Nosed Endmill )) ( T3299 ( GARR VRX - 61374 0.5 Flat Endmill )) ( T5200 ( HARVEY - 68062-C3 0.0625 Roundover Tool )) ( T5415 ( INTERNAL TOOL - 64-2880-C 0.375 Chamfer Mill )) ( T5806 ( HARVEY - 43362-C3 0.375 Slotting Tool or Saw )) Here is a sample array: 0. 3293. 1. 0. 3299. 2. 0. 5200. 3. 0. 5415. 4. 0. 5806. 5. The second column represents the tool number, the third represents the initial order in which the tools run. The problem is that sometimes tools repeat after others have already run. How can I look up the second column and match it to the third so that any time T5200 comes up in the program, it will always use offset 3? Thanks in advance
  2. Hey friends, I looked around and didn't see a thread that addressed this problem, feel free to direct me if this is a duplicate. I am trying to clean up our lathe post processor and one of the annoying things it does is that sometimes, not always, it duplicates the last tool entry in my tool table. I can't find what controls this process or why some programs have the problem and some don't. My code for the tool table is: ptooltable # Write tool table, scans entire file, null tools are negative tnote = t$ toffnote = tloffno$ tlngnote = tlngno$ spaces$=0 if t$ >= zero, [ "(", *t$, " | ", plistcomm, ")" ] spaces$=sav_spc Which produces the following tool table in my program: (T1 | R .032 OD ROUGH RIGHT) (T2 | R .016 OD FINISH RIGHT) (T5 | OD THREAD RIGHT) (T12 | .118 PART OFF BLADE) (T12 | .118 PART OFF BLADE) Any suggestions on how to stop it from duplicating the last tool? Many Thanks!
  3. Has anybody been implementing the new xtooltable (new for 2017/2018) features?
