minor tweaks to post processor

[Anonymous]

i have some minor adjustments needed to my post processor for haas. this is mainly just repositioning some codes (mostly m codes) and getting everything dialed in the way we would like. i need some adjustments to the header of the program, the beginning and end up tool call ups, and how the program ends. also, I wanted to fix the fact that when i post multiple work offsets the machine homes in Z in between the work offset call ups. any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated. i have attached a file showing how my code posts and how we would like it to post. also i have attached a copy of my .cpl file.

Thank you,

Hi @Anonymous ,

1) To get  X and Y safe retract code next to Z, Go to function onSection() { and add below codes,

 // retract to safe plane
    writeRetract(Z);
    if(isFirstSection()) {
      writeRetract(X,Y);
    }

And please restore/undo function writeRetract() { modification from the generic post.

2.) To control sequence number, add global variable

var count_ =0;​

and Please remove function writeToolBlock()  and relevant condition.

Then add below codes.

if(properties.sequenceNumberOnlyOnToolChange && !properties.showSequenceNumbers){
      count_ = count_+1;
      writeBlock("N"+count_);
      writeBlock("T" + toolFormat.format(tool.number),
      mFormat.format(6)
    );
    }else{
      writeBlock("T" + toolFormat.format(tool.number),
      mFormat.format(6)
    );
    }

3.) TO force G90 with initial XYZ and call coolant code,

Ignore coolant code 

  // set coolant after we have positioned at Z
  //setCoolant(tool.coolant);

& modified as shown below.

 if (!machineConfiguration.isHeadConfiguration()) {
      skipBlock = _skipBlock;
      gAbsIncModal.reset();
      writeBlock(
        gAbsIncModal.format(90),
        gMotionModal.format(0), xOutput.format(initialPosition.x), yOutput.format(initialPosition.y)
      );
      skipBlock = _skipBlock;
      writeBlock(
        gMotionModal.format(0),
        gFormat.format(43),
        zOutput.format(initialPosition.z),
        hFormat.format(lengthOffset),setCoolant(tool.coolant)
      );

 4.) To force G49 at the program start

// absolute coordinates and feed per min
  writeBlock(gMotionModal.format(00), gPlaneModal.format(17),gCycleModal.format(80),gAbsIncModal.format(90),gFormat.format(40),gFormat.format(49));

now save the post and test it carefully. 

Thanks,
