Postbuilder Cutcom Off

Postbuilder Cutcom Off

Postbuilder Cutcom Off

(OP)
We are now introducing NX6 for our Mazak FH4800 with Fanuc controller. We want to use full-diameter cutcom on last path for some operations. However some damage part-drive-contour. For engage there is :
G1 G41 X-- Y--
For retract however there is:
G40 D00
G1 X-- Y--, can these two moves be lines into one line?

Thanks, Bert

RE: Postbuilder Cutcom Off

Yes they can.

You may need to remove the G40 block from the Cutcom off event in Post Builder.  This will output it on a seperate line.

Make sure the linear motion has the cutcom block (G41,G42,G40)

Add the G40 block to your rapid motion also

Hi John, that is actually almost how I started, but if G41/42 [cutcom left/right] appears with the same tool in two subsequent operations, the seconde time [or more] the D-value [D06 for example] does not appear. But it is needed every G41!

Any more helpful tips, Bert?

RE: Postbuilder Cutcom Off

Thanks for all good help and tips, I made a custom command [force once D] and added this to cutcom-on event.
This after contact with our local Siemens technician.

Kind Regards, Bert
