Stock transfer is not customized for your machine

[AndyDHarlow]

Hi all. I am trying to use the part transfer functionality to grip and pull a part on our DMG CLX450 Mill/Turn machine.

It has a Siemens 840D controller and I am using a version of the  Siemens Mill-Turn post that I have made a few simple mods to get working with our machine.

The error I am receiving when trying to post the code is:

Error: Stock transfer is not customized for your machine

Error at line: 2821

Error in operation: 'Subspindle Grab1'

Can anyone help me get this functionality working?

Post attached.

Hi,

I've created a video explaining some of the edits needed for this to work. Since this is very machine specific it's very much up to you to get this right. Or of course as a reseller to do the work for you.

If you want to do it yourself use this video as your starting point:

Of course I can't be held accountable for anything that goes wrong because of the edit's I've shown.

Thank you for the reply, I know have code that appears to be correct, I will of course test it very very carefully on the machine.

EDIT: I have a couple of lines of code that isn't right but i'm not sure what it is trying to make the machine do.

  writeBlock(gMotionModal.format(0), "B1=" + spatialFormat.format(180), "Y" + yFormat.format(-99));

    bOutput.reset();

    yOutput.reset();

Output code: N40 B1=180 Y-99

I have no B axis on this machine, is it trying to orientate the spindle do you think? Also why the attempted move to Y-99, my machine only has +/- 80mm travel on the Y axis, it should be fine sent to Y=0.

Any ideas?

Thanks again

I assume that line is there because of a B-axis Mill-turn machine.

@Laurens-3DTechDraw  - Yes, I have just removed that line and there is no issue.
