How do you force an A axis move

[dave281]

Good afternoon,



Can anyone tell me what I need to chage in my Edgecam Fadal post to force the first move to include A0.0???
Most jobs we do have to be clocked in and then run, this means that the first part of the machining process could be in any random A position, not good.

Delcam gets it right, well done.

My programme currently reads:

T01 M6 (LOAD 1.8mm Carbide Rough)
S9991 M3
G0 G54 G90 X7.494 Y0.011
G43 Z10.0 H01 M8
G1 Z5.14 F79.9
G41 X8.393 Y0.121 D01 F279.8
G3 X7.4 Y1.0 R1.0
ect...........................

It really needs to read

T01 M6 (LOAD 1.8mm Carbide Rough)
S9991 M3
G0 G54 G90 X7.494 Y0.011 A0.0
G43 Z10.0 H01 M8
G1 Z5.14 F79.9
G41 X8.393 Y0.121 D01 F279.8
G3 X7.4 Y1.0 R1.0
ect...............................

code constructors/ general motion/rapid after tool change

mine looks like this
[DELETE][BLKNUM] G00[<C>XMOVE][<C>YMOVE] [<C>FIRST ROT]
[DELETE][BLKNUM] G43[ZINITIAL][LENGTHOFFSET][COOLANT]

but this doent put the a move in your opening line...it adds it (to mine) after the tool change and before the g43

All you need to do is open the (illustrated above) Code Constructor | Rapid After Toolchange and right click the First Rotary Token and select Force Output Now and this supersedes the modality of the value.... meaning you will always get the output there.
