hello everyone I am looking for a post to my seibu wire edm machine. I am currently using a fanuc post that I found in mastercam wire 7.2, but I have lots of problems. For example my machine doesn't allow dots(.) so in every bloc I have to erase them. And where I have I2. ( for exampe) J0. ( in post where I or J are 0 the post doesn't put them at all) I Change it to be- I2000 J000 and that worries me because I can make a mistake very easily. 2 days ago I lost a customer because I messed something up in the post.... if anybody can help I would be grateful. Here's what my post looks like


before:

O0000
N100 G0 G20 G91
N102 G92 I1. J0.
N104 M60
N106 S101 D1
N108 G1 G50 Y4.5
N110 G3 X-.5 Y-.028 J-4.5
N112 X5. Y-4.472 I.5 J-4.472
N114 X-4. Y4.472 I-4.5
N116 X-.5 Y.028 I-.5 J-4.472
N118 G1 Y-4.5
N120 M50
N122 M30
%

msavcic,

Is it trailing zero, .01mm or .001mm?

[msavcic]

Here's the .zip file where I have my .pst and .txt file. the trailing zero is .001 , I think you should be able to see what should be changed from my previous post.

At the beginning of the post instead of O0000 there should be W001
Everything from the bloc N100-N106 has to be erased
In the bloc N108 you can leave G50 because that is never the same
ALL DOTS HAVE TO BE ERASED
AFTER DOTS THERE HAS TO BE 3 DECIMAL PLACES(after we put 3 decimals we delete dots)
We fill in the decimals with 0-es like .5 should be .500
In a bloc where there is just I or J we put I000 or J000 (you could see that in my previous post)
And finally at the end M50 goes to M02
Everything after that is erased N** M30 and %(are erased)

That's about it of the changes that should be made in the post...

THANK'S IN ADVANCE

[ObrienDave]

Ok, got it.
I will see what I can do.
Can't promise it real fast.

[ObrienDave]

Ok,
I have most of it fixed.
PLEASE TEST BEFORE USING!!!!
If you need other things fixed, please use the same code before and after your corrections.
It makes it easier to find the proper places in the post to make the changes.
If you can, please include a sample MC9 file.

[msavcic]

Thanks for your help the dot and the decimal thing is perfect. But what are those on the right like (plin plinout 142)?? I can't put my finger on it.. all else is great. Can you help me just one more thing I don't know did you understand me with the I and J thing, but where's an I there has to be a J, or otherwise. for an example:

X1000 Y-1000 J301- there has to be an I in front of the J, so it's like this- X1000 Y-1000 I000 J301

or otherwise:

X1000 Y-1000 I301 GOES TO X1000 Y-1000 I301 J000

If you could do this for me I would be grateful forever. The work you did on the rest of the post was great there were some minor mistakes at the beginning of the post like instead of W000 it's W001 and I don't need that N100 M60 bloc but that I will change manually. so if you could see just these two things I would be very, very grateful

THANKS FOR THE HELP

[ObrienDave]

Sorry about that,
The extra junk at the end of the line is because I forgot to turn fastmode back on.
Here is a new one for you.
I think I have the IJ arc problem fixed.
The number after the W comes from YOUR program number box in the toolpath.
I can hardcode a number there if you like but I recommend leaving it this way.
PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL BEFORE USING ON A PART.
Your welcome

[msavcic]

The post seams to be working perfectly. Thank you for your help. The only thing left is for you to tell me what do I owe you. Please put the price and I will send you the money.... DDD THANK YOU

[ObrienDave]

I appreciate the thanks.
You do not owe me anything.
I do this because I have spent a lot of years and money learning this stuff.
You can pay me by helping others when you can.
Good luck.
