Fanuc postprocessor modification - Need Sub Programming for repetitious code

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 21:07:01 GMT

I have a 1991 Fanuc DrillMate drilling center. It has the Fanuc O-M series control on it. I am able to send/receive programs thru RS-232 at this time. I am still working on how to get it to drip feed from the Computer to the Machine.

The issue that i am having with the Fanuc Generic Post is that my machine has very little memory. I am having to run my part programs in segments because of this. I am looking for a way to modify the post processor so that when it output the code that, instead of repeating the profile code for each Z step change, that it will place that code into a sub program. Then the main program will have the generic logic, along with the step downs in the Z direction.

As of now, it writes the same code everytime for each stepdown causing to much data.

I am also hoping to get rid of the T?? that is posted on the line under my M6T?? line. As this machine doesnt stage the next tool, this causes an Alarm on the machine.

Any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

Regarding the last note: That is preload tool for machines with a quickchanger. If you turn off "preloadtool" in your properties is wil stop outputting that.

Regarding the depths. There is no definition in the post that defines every depth level. You have to build a lot of logic to find that every level has the same XY values and only a different Z. Will not be easy, but must be doable with a lot of time.
