my k values are coming as negative but my machine needs positive k values

[ahmad.blueeyes]

Dear users and support team,
 
I have started using inventor HSM recently, and I faced many problems with post process and .CPS file. I have changed the file according to my cnc need but I couldn't figure out how to keep K values positive. when I make nc file all the values are negative and they conflict with my cnc brain.
I have attached CPS file if someone needs to have a look at it. its in a .txt format.
if required I am using Fagor 8025 M controller on Laguna turret mill.
 
Ps I am totally new at Autodesk forum or to say at any forum it took me a while to understand what to do or how. please help me with the above mentioned problem
 
Thanks
Muhammad Ahmad

Hi

Can you send the nc file directly from the post and the right way you want it please?

I have attached the .nc file as text file. please have a look.

if you see line 14 of the file at the end there is a value of k as K-0.056 as soon as my cnc reaches this line, Boom I get error number 17

which states "Negative or too large thread pitch value." so I am assuming its only because of negative.

but then again if you check the line 93 up to 104 there k values are normally positive. I don't get it.

with generic fagor.cps file I made a change in line 884, where it gives x, y, I, j, z, feed output format. I added koutput.format.

I had to make this change due to the reason I was getting syntax error as my cnc accepts this format below.

there is a pdf file that helps you to make nc program manually these pics are from there. if you want I can maybe upload it here if this forum lets me.

thanks.

I think your problem is koutput.format is NOT the pitch needed by your CNC

I think you will have to use:

if (hasParameter('operation:threadPitch')) {

var k = getParameter('operation:threadPitch');

}

something like that

where should I put this I have no idea.
