Hi There I have a machine that only does helical in Polar Coordinates. A Sample line looks like this G13 G91 H+3240 Z+13.5 F200 G13 Helix in counter clockwise direction G91 H+3240 total angle travled Z+13.5 Height of helix in incremental angle I want to have the post make every helical move into this format. I dont know if that is possible m-post. I am using surfcam V3 But A pole has to be defined before the helical move can happen. If there is no pole defined the machine will fault. Sample Program A pole can be defined with an I and J in absolute coordinates before or with a G29 Capture N60 x50 y30 N70 G29 Defines Pole N80 Z-12 M03 Move to start position N90 G11 G41 R+32 H-180 F100 move with comp to first point N100 G13 G91 H+3240 Z+13.5 F200 Helical Inc move in angle and Z N110 G00 G40 G90 x50 y30 Any Helps Thanks for the Time Marcus |

| I actually have all the manuals. and I have done helical moves manually programming it. i Just Didnt want surfcam to spit out a whole bunch of linear moves in x,y and z. I didnt know if m-post was powerful enough to change an I J K move into this polar coordinate move. I have been doing a lot of looking around and it looks like I will have to just deal with the x,y,z linear moves, And manually program the thread milling operations that I have been doing. Thanks for the time. I dont know enough about s-post to tackle it yet. But i will post if I do get it figured out. Thanks for the responce. cheers Marcus |
