    Question i,k

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I have this problem. The company I work for just had 2 vtl machines rebuilt. They went from old nc controls to new cnc controls. My problem is that they need both i and k values in order to run, even if the value is 0. The control is Fagor. They said that there is nothing that they can do.They say that the Mastercam post can be fixed to insert i or k values to 0. I know i can use the R value. I'm using mpl_gen and modified it to other basic needs. Can anyone help, cncps

    Look for General Output Settings in your post and switch it to zero.

    Code:
    # General Output Settings
    # --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    arcoutput   : 0     #0 = IJK, 1 = R no sign, 2 = R signed neg. over 180
    You might have to force output on arc moves as well.
