Hello
I would like to add a Post-Event (Cooling) to new created tools. I tryed it like this:
First i added a machine to the template then i choose "Start-event" to add this to the tool.
This works. But we got several Machines with diffrent coolant options.
(Machine 1 only external coolant; Machine 2 External/Internal Coolant)
-How is it possible to load the right coolant-modes when i change the machine?
In a further step we would like to add the coolant to the tool libary. I read the "Create Tool Information" but i can't see the Dialog "user parameters" when i add this to the tooldialg.
-What is wrong?
Thanks for your Help
Have a nice weekend :-)
I work with NX 10.0.3.5 MP14
The post is written by an external company.
Im really not a Hero in build a postprocessor... can you show me a picture what you mean?
These UDE objects work all fine itself (they are created by an external company)
but they dont change if we change the machine...
It sticks to the set UDE set in the template part.
We would like to update these UDE by changing the machine.
Is there any idea for this?
Thank you for your answers
The OOTB switch for the internal coolant is good. But every Machine has diffrent cooling systems (Air blow; Internal Air blow; minimal lubrication... )
So if i create a new tool it should the correct UDE apear for the selected machine.
I had the mention then i can write in the tooldatabase.dat a specified number for the coolant. Like i choose these in a start-event: (1,2,3,4...)
Is this maybe realizable?
juray is right. I misunderstand his reply.
The major problem is that if an UDE is created, it is not updated in any way.
To have the options change, you need to delete and re-create the UDE.
Have you checked the coolant UDE shipping with NX?
You really need to use a coolant UDE that is really simple and the post-processor needs to do the right thing based on this simple UDE.
The coolant UDE shipping with NX always allows to enable only one coolant type:
My custom UDE allows to select all that apply:
As you can see some of the machines work with coolant level, others use the pressure value directly, so one needs to add some logic to migrate from one to the other.
The code to handle the UDE sets mom_coolant_mode to "ON", changes mom_sys_coolant_code($mom_coolant_mode) to the appropriate M-code number and fills out a variable that is assigned to the coolant trailer if need is.
This way the regular logic to handle the coolant output is still working, but I can combine coolant codes.
I have created a custom dialog to set the coolant for all tools in one go, which you could create too, to replace the currently applied coolant UDE with the one for the currently loaded machine.
