    Executing Auxillary Codes

    Hi All,

    I am on a waterjet milling project where any variations in the machine movement can result in deep/shallow spots. We currently have our jet/abrasives linked to Mcodes. When reading the mcodes the whole machine pauses momentarily, even with motion commands before and after the mcode. I need to find a way to keep the machine moving while turning the jet/abrasives on/off to avoid variations in the milling speed. Do I need to use a different type of command or is there a machine parameter I'm missing? Any suggestions are appreciated!

    We are running a fagor 8070.

    Thanks!
