Mazak generic post processor adjustment

jason35A49 — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 23:46:59 GMT

I use the mazak generic milling post processor for use on my Nexus 510c, the post processor outputs N#'s incrementally in 5's (ie: N5, N10, N15, and so on), is it possible to have it go up in ones? For some reason the controller stops reading the code at N100000 and gives an illegal number alarm, so jobs with lots of surfacing are causing issue even though their is plenty of memory on the control. Anybody adjust the post for this already? I know it works fine to have it go up by singles as I can write my own programs like that by hand without issue. Thanks for the help, would be nice not to have to split the operations up so much.

Pretty sure you can change this yourself easily in the post processor dialog.

I disable this numbering all together. I ran out of lines even at +1 increment and found that it was the easiest fix.

In NX we have the option to start over after a certain number. That works really well

I'm confused to why one would want this.

As you cannot just go to N6 because that could be in the file 5 times.

So how does restarting the numbering help you?

Asking because I think it shouldn't be too hard to make in the post but don't see the use.
