custom cycles
custom cycles
(OP)
Hi,
I am learning the use of NX.
To learn about postprocessor, I am creating a lathe postprocessor, and I want the generated code with cycles.
If I am correctly, the fist thig I should do is create a custom cycle in NX to generate the event.
Is this correct? Is there any other way to do it?
Thanks everybody!!

RE: custom cycles
In NX create a rough turn OD operation, and set the motion output to machine cycle.
(You could also open the sample mill turn part and edit the OD operation there)
Postprocess the operation through your new post and you will see CYCLE95 output.
That should get you started...

Do you know how to activate it?

RE: custom cycles
"N80 CYCLE95("G95:G95_END",60.,0.5,0.7,0.,0.7,0.5,0.7,2,0.,0.,0.)"
as you can see, the trayectory will be output in a block from G95 to G95_END.
This block, is printed when MOM_end_of_program occurs.
I understand the post, however, I can´t find the way to activate the listen to the MOM_contour_start and MOM_contour_end events, I think this is the key.
RE: custom cycles
Machine cycles are only available for some turning operations.

RE: custom cycles
I tried to setup the operation in machine cycle, and creating a new postprocessor, in the .tcl code I wrote:
#=============================================================
proc MOM_contour_end { } {
#=============================================================
MOM_output_literal "MOM_contour_end"
}
#=============================================================
proc MOM_contour_start { } {
#=============================================================
MOM_output_literal "MOM_contour_start"
}
And the result of the generation is:
%
N0010 G94 G90 G71
N0020 G92 X0.0 Z0.0
N0030 T00 H00 M06
N0040 G97 S0 M03
N0050 G94 G00 X34.2 Z.5
N0060 G96 S0 M03
N0070 G95 G01 X33. F.1
N0080 X18.8
N0090 X-1.2
N0100 X-2.4 F1.

You can drag and drop a custom command to a procedure such as Start of Path or End of Path

In the attached image, you can see the event in the siemens postprocessor in the right of the image, but in my new postprocessor, in the left, I don´t have it!!!
