Hey all
Happy New Year !
I have just changed my 4th axis
template, ( I know, always fooling around), to give me the choice of whether or
not to apply the brake after the positioning move. Some very light passes,
just do not justify using the brake, as it takes perhaps 5 seconds to apply and
verify it for each index. On the other hand, if there is lots of
machining, or heavy macining, I always put the brake on. Anyway, so now
that I added that option, it doesn't affect my cycle time estimates at all. I
seem to remember that there is a way of adding time via the .tmp file based on a
#word, but I cant seem to figure it out or find it.
My index section is below, so it would be very easy
to just add a line at the end telling it to add 6 seconds if the M60 is
commanded. However, what is the syntax for that?
Thanks again folks
Jon
