General Mach Discussion / Re: Update Tool Data using G10?

« on: February 29, 2008, 09:43:00 AM »

If you modify the macro, now that you can, to look like this it will only run in cycle.

' M1000.m1s

' Macro to increment tool height offset
' using M1000 P1 Q.004
' P = offset number to update
' Q = amount to alter offset by

If IsLoading() Then
  ' Do now't
Else
  P_val = Param1()
  Q_val = Param2()
  offset = GetToolParam(P_val,2)
  offset = offset + Q_val
  Code "G10 L1 P" & P_val & " Z" & offset
End If

'End

If you are doing lots of tiny moves then Mach will slow down, try using CV mode.

Do you have CV mode selected, if not that will smooth things out.

Post some pictures of the machine so we get a better idea of what is needed for your conversion.

Use the Additional Options link at the bottom left of the reply window to add your pictures. 800*600 max size.

You could use this macro, save it as M1000.m1s in your current profile.

Graham.

' M1000.m1s

' Macro to increment tool height offset
' using M1000 P1 Q.004
' P = offset number to update
' Q = amount to alter offset by

P_val = Param1()
Q_val = Param2()
offset = GetToolParam(P_val,2)
offset = offset + Q_val
Code "G10 L1 P" & P_val & " Z" & offset

'End
