Hello everybody,
Is there a way to stop a sequence to change tool and then conitnue the sequence?
Any idea is welcome.
Thanks.
 
I think neither creo manufactuyring nor gpost can do such operation.
in pro/toolmaker insteas, there is something king of this.
 
You can use an a CL dadta command placed anywhere on the tool path string in an nc seqeuncepath to force a tool change.


Cl commands like


RAPID


GD / 0.0, 0.0, 5.00 will send output in g-code G0 Z5.


LOADTL/ 10 will output T10 M6


RAPID


GD / 0.0,0.0,Z-5. will send the tool back to the original position.


FEDRAT / 10, IPM will restore the feed rate of 10 ipm if that was the cut feed programmed.


Be careful doing this and check your g-code to insure that these commands where placed in the appropriate place.
