Manual NC between operations

[mario_goossens]

Hi,

Got a 3+2 axis mill.

I got a workpiece with 25+ operations on it.

Now i created a template from a Manual NC code. 

The Manual NC code is created for a pass through and contains a safe position in it.

So after each operations i want to put that manual NC code so the machine is going to the safe position i created.

Is there an easy way to put it between the operations, instead of just insert that templated manual nc and duplicate it so many times i need it.

I had to do it this way with Manual NC cause there is no post processor atm that does that, or i just didnt found that one yet. Talking about Heidenhain 620

Thanks

What is the code you want to insert?

will the safe position be the same every time, or will it vary depending on the job?

also does it have to go between each operation, or just between toolchanges?

Thanks for the quick response.

The code is :

L M140 MB MAX

L X0 FMAX M92

L Y0 FMAX M92

I will need this manual nc beteween each operation.

Hi

I have created a version of the standard Heidenhain post that has a post property "Safe position all operations"

you must also have safe retracts set to "M92"

and "use M140" checked.

test carefully and see if that will do what you need.

One final thought, do you need a compulsory stop M0 after those lines?

other wise the machine will move to the safe position then continue without stopping.

see attached post.

Oke thanks mate. No dont need the M0, cause the machine can continue milling, its just a safe position to be sure when he is gonna turn the table. 

Cheers
