Indexing vs Simutaneous Motion

[turbocharger]

Hi all,


I want to make a macro in FILto differentiat between simultaneous motion and indexing for multiaxis toolpath for Heidenhain cotroller. I mean to say i want to make post to out put cycle 19 when there is a drilling or pocketing or facing on some angle, and if the motion is simultaneous then it should output the M128.


if any body have experience regarding this, any kind f help or clue will highly be appreciated.


thanks

You have to create a flag to force it into on mode or the other. You do this by creating a "CL Command" in Pro/NC. Create the FIL to trigger off this to output for the correct mode.

Hi Kent,


Can you please post some example how to do this?


thanks

In Pro/Nc create an Auxilary NC Sequence of a CL Command


MODE/SELECT


OR


MODE/SWITCH


Drag and drop it in the Model Tree just before the Sequence you want to force.


In FIL create aGlobal variable: SIMFLG=0


Use this macro


$$ ************************************************


$$ M O D E S E C T I O N *


$$ ************************************************


CIMFIL/ON,MODE


IW4=POSTF(7,4) $$ First argument


CASE/IW4


WHEN/ICODEF(SWITCH)$$ Simutaneous Start


SIMFLG=1


WHEN/ICODEF(SELECT) $$Positioning Start


SIMFLG=2


WHEN/OTHERS


DMY=POSTF(13)


ENDCAS


CIMFIL/OFF





At the first goto after ever tool change output your M128 or M129 insert stuff

Dear Kent,


I think in this way we have to do extra work each time compare to other CAM softwares,I want Pro-e working in the same way as other but with most effcient style, in my opinion


1) We should c reate the sequence normally, in this case let say we have created two sequece one is for drilling multixis, and the other is for blade of impeller i.e again this is also multiaxis but this time simultaneous.


2) We should make a macro, on first step it should check if the MULTAX Flag is on.


3) if the MULTAX Flag is on then it should analyse the data, e.g it must check if the I,J and K value remins constant or variying, if the direction cosine remains constant then it should generate the positional axis machining codes, and if the directions cosine values keep on changing on each step then it must generates the simultaneous machining codes.


I want your help to develope a macro to handle the data in this way.


thanks in advance

If you want to test our proengineer postprocessor, we can provide you an evaluation license.


Manus Postprocessor, automatically recognises operation types andgenerates proper codes for different operation types. For instance,


-automatically generates M128 codes for simultaneous operations,


-automatically generates Plane spatial (Q19) codes for indexed angular operations.


-autmatically resognises 5-axis positioning movements and perform M128 motion for positiong operations.


-all drilling cycles (including tapping and boring) are supported in any angular tool orientation.

Turbocharger,


There are many ways to do this. The way I showed you will work, the way you want to do it will work. I am very busy with work right now and do not have time to help you with this. It sounds like you know what you want, thats half the battle.


Thanks,


Kent

Hi Dear


I tried lot more options, i exactly could notunderstand where the problem is.


So i want a wroking macro orat leaset a macro need little customization.





thanks

Turbo,


As Kent told you, there are many ways to do it. We bought a post from Austin NC that uses the same logic that Kent suggested. In the beginning I found a bit more complex than it used to be in my previous software (Mastercam), but I found a nice manner to avoid typing of the custom CLCommand triggers we

Thanks for the hint i will try to get the problem solved
