Doosan Lynx Post Edit

[dlewis1000]

I am trying to get a doosan post to output toolpaths in the X- direction. I know it's possible because the mach4 post has this functionality apparently. This video explains what I'm trying to do with the post processor here in more detail than I could type. Any help would be greatly appreciated as for a particular few tools we need to run them flipped.

This may help.  If you change this line in your post, the X-axis values will be negative:

We want to be able to output in either X- or X+ by the method shown in the video using the turret in the tool library. Will that handle that?

Hi.  I'm not a post expert but I think I hacked something together for you.  Set the turret to 101 to activate X- output.  Search for "BRF" inside of the post to see the changes.

I didn't see any difference. Basically what we're trying to do is if you had a standard turning operation using any tool, turret 101 would be standard X+ output, and any tool with 102 would simulate the same but be output as X- values. I hope that makes sense.

Hi.  I've added this code to your post.  If you make the turret 102 it will output X as negative values.

The problem with doing it this way is the G02/G03 arcs will be incorrect.

I whipped something up to try. Attached here.
