Pause when changing MCS and/or Offset
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2011 12:48 pm
I'm using manual indexing to machine a 4 sided part. Problem is that it doesn't seem that VM inserts a pause whenever the MCS changes. I'll also need a similar feature when changing offsets (e.g. G54, G55 etc).
Is there any way to configure the post to automatically insert a pause whenever I move the MCS? I'm running Mach 3.
Currently, I'm doing it by creating a duplicate tool with a different tool number but I'm worried that I'll switch the order of various MOPS and forget to make sure the tool changes are correct to force a pause.
Thanks,
