I am using ProE/NC Manufacturing with Option File Generator version 5.4.7 post processor from Intercim. We are currently upgrading our Centriod M-39 controller for spindle speed controlling. We perform our tool changes manually. I would like to know how I can program (or modify using the menus) the post processor to dwell (delay) for 5 seconds after every tool change (M6) so that the spindle can go to full speed before it starts cutting. Also, I don’t see the spindle speed number in the .tap file even thought I set it in the NC-sequence, how do I make this appear in the tap file via the post processor? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Post your Post file UNcx01.fxx and UNcx01.Pxx
Maybe I could help!

I have attached the uncx01.p20 and uncx.f20. Because of the upload file extension restriction I have renamed uncx01.p20 to uncx01p.txt and uncx01.f20 to uncx01f.txt
Thanks again.

After I checked your post file.
1. You didn't set the Register S in MCD file format Zone.
2. You didn't set the M3 in the Machine Code -->Spindle --> Aux Code Zone
3. Should Move the S after the T and Move H, D after M in MCD file format Zone.

4. Write FIL in Advanced --> FIL Editor C i m f i l S e c t i o n s

CIMFIL/ON,LOADTL
rslt=POSTF(20) $$ Save current Record
rslt=POSTF(21) $$ Load the save Record
rslt=POSTF(13) $$ Process current CL
INSERT/'G04 F5$'
CIMFIL/OFF

Then save your File.

Attached please find the zip file that contained Uncx01.P1120 and Uncx01.F1120

I am also attach the GIF file that I set in the Post!

Hey Sinderal,
Thanks for the help. I have looked at your GIF files and realised that you have a higher version of Option File Generator, I am using version 5.4.7. Is there somewhere I can download a newer version? I will make the changes in my version to the Uncx files and try them out and will also try the ones you zipped. Thanks a lot again.

I used you uncx files and it worked fine. I also fiddle around with mine to make it exactly like yours and that worked too. I figured to move stuff around by dragging it in the MCD file format Zone with Option File Generator version 5.4.7. Thanks a lot.
