Hi Everyone.
Currently using EdingCNC software
Im busy editing my PP and im having difficulty writing the following:
Manually Load Tool - press start.
- Travel to Tool Height Sensor and touch off (Example X0 Y0 Z200)
- Start Cutting with first tool.
Cutting complete with first tool
- Rise up - stop spindle then move above tool height ( X0 Y0 Z200)
Load New Tool - Press start
- Rapid down to a certain point and slowly touch off measuring the tool
- Complete the cut with the new tool
I hope that makes sense, is that something that can be done in the PP?
Many thanks

Re: Post Processor help
I do similar things with my machine but it's not controlled 100% by the post processor. The post processor calls the relevant macros in the control software that do the actual touching off etc.
Re: Post Processor help
Ah I see. Thanks for that.
Another learning curve to call in macros haha

Hi Derek
I have a pp that includes manual toolchange.
But you have to add this in the end of your Macro file:
sub m100
goSub m_tool ;See sub m_tool
Endsub
