Hello,
HSMWorks User Here -
I've run the same code on another VF2 and VF9 without issue but we have a VF1 that does not like G17 commands post-processed by the generic Haas Pre-NGC processer. Processers will input a G17 if the previous tool used a vertical lead in transition as seen on facing or surfacing operations. It causes the next tool to read the XY starting location incorrectly and place the tool way off point, even if stepped through positions. We've had Haas Service come check it out, factory reset the machine, and do an assortment of other trials and they can't fix this issue. We've worked around the issue by editing each post to add a G17 before the G54 on the next tool change, but as this is a manual fix, its prone to get overlooked by a machinist whos unfamiliar and crashes tools on the next XY line of code if they aren't watching it.
Is there a way we can edit the post-processor to fix this, or another workaround that would allow us to use Z curved lead-ins without calling a G17/G18?
