haas Pre next gen post processor

[Hend-Eng]

Hi,

Been using the standard Haas (with A axis) pre N.G. post processor for a couple of years now and have resigned myself to deleting the G94 codes it generates each time, because I don't know how to stop the post processor from generating them and my 1995 Haas VFOE hasn't got the foggiest what it means!

Secondly, I have recently been steered towards making the discovery that the reason my P-coolant nozzle never does what it's told is because the M08 needs to be AFTER the G43 Z... H...; and not before.

I made a small MDI prog to prove this and finally it directed the coolant correctly for the first time since I owned the machine. Amazing stuff.

Could anyone please help me resolve these two issues?

It's going to save a lot of key strokes and means I can leave the machine unattended without fear of a tool going without coolant and destroying itself.

Many thanks,

Tom.

Good news, Bob Schultz has modified the pre-ngc post processor to do two things:

1. get rid of the g94
2. insert two m8's.  Reason for two is it will get the coolant going, and it will put another after the height offset so the programmable coolant is set correctly.  If it did just the latter, the coolant might not be flowing by the time metal is starting to be cut.

It should be posted in the post processor downloads soon.
