Need help with Heidenhain post - no toollist and wrong feedrates in posted file

[nikolaiownz]

Hello

I got a few problems with my heidenhain post. I can seem to get it to post a toollist or toolnames in the posted file.

And another problem is that i seems to multiply my feedrates by 10 - or it removes the . from the feedrated in mastercam. ( so feedrate 700.0 becomes 7000). and i cant get mastercam to stop making the .0

Anyone know how to change this?

Its a Bridgeport with TNC410 control


here is a sample program posted:
im getting F7640 even thoug it says 764.0 in mastercam.

Have you edited post processors before?

Have you edited post processors before?

Yes we've edited out fanuc posts abit to fit our machines - so we got abit experience doing it.

Change this section of your post to the following:


# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Format Statements - i=incr, n=nonmodal, l=leave ldg, t=leave trlg, d=delta
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
fs 1 +1^4
fs 2 +1^4n
fs 3 3 0
fs 4 2 0n
fs 5 4.1t
fs 6 2 0ln
fs 7 3 0ln
fs 8 4 0n
fs 9 1.4
fs 10 1.4ln
fs 11 +1.3ln
fs 12 4 0ln

That should take care of your Feedrate issue. as far as tool names not being posted, I don't see anywhere on the post a string to store/write the tool comments.

Upload a copy of your post and I'll try to see what I can do.

on my 426 control

F1000 = a feed rate of 100


this looks correct

10 BEGIN PGM 10655711 MM
20 TOOL CALL 4 Z S2547
30 L R F M06

Given I've never worked with this controller and the quoted post, are you sure your machine won't read the feed output as MC current output (F7640)??

Yeah ive always used it when we did some manual programming on the machine.

It worked..

Im attatching the post here.

Looks like you're going to have to upload a copy of your machine and control defs so I can test it. Do you know how to use the Zip2go utility??

If you don't go to your Help menu and click on it, is pretty easy to use.

[txcncman]

Does the control support comments? There are none shown in your sample file.

[MMTZ]

Good point, although he did mention that was the wrong output he's getting from MC

[txcncman]

As you have already noted, to really help, one would need the machine definition file, the control definition file, and the current post processor. In addition, what is needed it a sample of the current code output and an edited version of the code output as it is desired to be. Even a common sample part to work with on a collaboration would help.
