NC Post Prcessing - Turning - mom varirable

[#1]

Hi,

Quyery on - NC Post Building - Turning

I am looking for mom variable in turning operation at 'Tool Orientation' tab. check box name - "Flip tool around holder' . How I can pull these check box information to the post for coding.

Please help for the above...

Thanks in advance..

Have you tried enabling the review tool for the post run and check the variables there?

Can't find the variable right now but...

1) "Flip tool around holder" generates a "rotate" event (handled by the "MOM_rotate" proc in the MILL post in linked mill-turn post situation).  In newer mill posts, there is this code at the beginning of the "MOM_rotate" proc:

if { [info exists mom_machine_mode] && [string match "TURN" 
     $mom_machine_mode] } { 
     if [CMD_EXIST PB_CMD_handle_lathe_flash_tool] {
          PB_CMD_handle_lathe_flash_tool 
     } 
     return
}

So if this is a linked post, add a custom command "PB_CMD_handle_lathe_flash_tool" and see if it is correctly called.  I'd assume the variable is set to either "0" or "1"

2) If this is a straight lathe post (no linked mill post) you could try adding a proc "MOM_rotate" and see what happens

3) I'd suggest using the "Moog_show_globals" (see thread with it) - run twice (once flipped, once not) save the info windows to 2 separate text files and compare them  to find what is different.

mom_use_a_axis
