Hi, everyone!


I want the post processor to automatically generate Clamp Rotary Axis but only for indexing, not for continuous axis machining.

In the NX Post Bulider, I added in the Custom Command:
global mom_sys_auto_clamp
set mom_sys_auto clamp "ON"

I added to: Program - Operation Start Sequence - Initial Move

I use the following codes
A-axis clamping: G110 A1
B-axis clamping: G110 B1
A-axis unclamping: G110 A0
B-axis unclamping: G110 B0



Code:

N0100, N0220 etc. - B-axis rotation - no previous axis unclamping

I would like the code to look as follows:
Code:
N10 A,B-axis unclamping
N20 A,B-axis rotary
N30 A,B-axis clamping
....
N50 A-axis unclamping
N60 A-axis rotary
N70 A-axis clamping
...
N110 B-axis unclamping
N120 B-axis rotary
N130 B-axis clamping


How can I do this? I want auto_clamping to work only on indexing.

Thanks a lot for any help.
