Couple of simple post questions

[NeilMGW]

If I'm having to mirror both I & J to get correct orientation for circular output should I be changing the IJK definition from vector, arc center to start to maybe vector, arc start to center?

Also I'd like to define a Y coordinate for the end of program sequence to send the table forward for loading/unloading, something like

G90 G0 H0 Z0
E0 X0.000 Y175.000
M2
%

I know it's probably really simple but I can't see the best way to define the Y175.000

Thanks

You need to understand how the machine control interprets arcs and set the post accordingly.

Than being said, most fanuc controls, using IJK output, should be set to "Vector-arc start to center".

For the second half of your question... Is the Y value going to be fixed or something you want to change?

I can think of many ways to get that output...

Hi Jay,

The the Y will be a fixed absolute value.

In the case of a fixed output, I would simply add a text output to the "END OF PROGRAM" event.

Take a look at the jpeg i've included.

The "END OF PROGRAM" event only outputs once.

Of course, doh! .... thanks Jay
