How to stop table from returning home every tool change

[david martin]

Is there a check box or option in MC to prevent the table from going home after every tool change? Or is it a post processor problem? The line causing the trouble is G28 X0. Y0. Z0. A0. The machine is a Haas VF-2 and the machine type set in MC is Default mmd-5. Also what does the mm and mmd mean after the machine type name? Thanks

What version of MC are you using?

Im not sure if there is anything in the config to change this. I would think it is probably in your post

It's in the post. Very easy change to do, I changed mine to Not output the X0. but to just G28 Y0.

Let me look that up and I'll get back with you.....

Rstewart - I have never customized a post processor. Read a little about it but don't even know were to start. When I get a chance I will do some more reading. I'm assuming there are a few threads on the subject.

This line is most likely coming from peof$.

It will look something like this.

pbld, n$, *sg28ref, "X0.", "Y0.", e$

You can change it to the following to remove the X0.

pbld, n$, *sg28ref, "Y0.", e$

Basically, you will want to delete the X0. in quotation marks.

Hope this helps.
