massive postprocess

Hello, my machines do not have charger tool, I want to have a program for each operation.
Is there any way to post-process all operations in separate programs without having to do it one by one?
for example automatically each program with the same name as the operation.
Doing it manually is very cumbersome and slow
Thank you very much.

A modification could be made to your post processor to do this. I have never made a modification like this, but would be able to do it with some time.. Some people on here may be able to make the modification quickly (might have done something similar)... If not, it would be worth speaking to your local reseller

Doesn't the "manual tool change" option under the Tool Library help?

It serves to output a M00 or M01 depending of your machine and controller, in order for you to change tools manually. Of course you would have to load all tool height on the controller and therefore you would only to handle one NC file, instead of one NC file per tool.

thanks for the reply, without enbargo not help me because the method we use is:
1 run the program with the HTA 1
2nd change tool, switch to manual, then set the tool in z (the control has canceled the library tool)
3rd return to continuous execution and run the following program

I need separate programs.
Thank you
  regards

As I still think this isn't the best way to do it even on a non-toolchanger machine we could see if we can help. What post processor are you using now?
