Mo1 Optional Stop

[a1moldmaker]

is there a way to use the optional stop but still keep the spindel turned on

[jackson]

No you need a dwell for that

[a1moldmaker]

does anyone have a ideal on how to get this done ???

[jackson]

well you how long do you need the spindal to remain running?

[a1moldmaker]

until the cetup gut gets there and checks everything then just push go

[jackson]

Ok i'm lost, can you break it down a little bit more as to what it is your trying to accomplish?

[a1moldmaker]

all i really need is the spindle to stay running when they turn on the optionial stop switch at mach. i don't want the spindle to cool down (blending issues)

Ok now we are getting somewhere what kind of machine do you have?

[a1moldmaker]

not sure i understand the question they are all fadals

[jackson]

Ok as far as i know all you can do is put a long dwell at the end of the program

G91G28Z0Y0
G4U90000(may use P or X instead of U,and you can add to the time this is just an exampl)
M1
M30

hope this helps. it is the only way that i can think of to acheive the contsant spindal rotation

[a1moldmaker]

will that cause any problem if the oper. pushes go before the dwell time out??

[jackson]

No it wont do any thing, if he gets there before it has ran out he will have to just hit reset and start the program, but it sounds to me like you are going through alot of BS i think i would just make sure the operator is there at all times and have a little program at the beging with a short dwell and just have him hit feed hold till he gets back to the machine
