Milltronics BR-50--- Marposs Laser

[torch]

Hello Everyone

I am new to this forum so please bear with me. We have a Milltronics BR-50 with a Marposs laser, I am currently triing to set up the machine to run a tool break detection. We are using Delcam-Powermill to program and I have no idea how the post should be set up to break detect after machining, and before the tool change. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

depending on what laser macros your using before the tool change post a
"G65 P9384 L[P260]"
or
"G65 P9384 H[P260]"

What is meant by the [P260]

Here is a portion of the program were the M98 is called for the tool break. I have tried several variations and continue to receive error code 608 ('P' EXPECTED IN M98 BLOCK) what does this mean !!

Isn't m98 the call out for sub program (m98 p200 *program 200) I know it is on a Fanuc and a Hass and a Fadal.

After much frustration I found that the M98 is not needed in the sub program call out string the actual file should look like this.

Thanks again for all your help. If i would have looked a little closer I would have realized that you also did not have the M98 in your callout. All the manuals I had said I needed the M98.

Thanks again Daryl
