Machine: Okuma LR-15 MW Control: OSP 5000LG I want to use Workplanes in my Advanced turning V11.0 to determine whether I'm working on the main spindle or the sub spindle. Right now I'm using the XSET field in the Job Planner to do this, but I wan't to use Workplanes or Toolplanes if possible.
If I hardcode #WKPLN I get ZX_PLANE for normal turning, XY_PLANE when mill/dill (rotating tools) on the face of the part, but for mill/drill (rotating tools) perpendicular to the spindle axis I get a weird BUFPLN0, BUFPLN1 etc.. I want to create a work plane name MAIN for main spindle work and a work plane name SUB for sub-spindle work. Then use a #IF check at the tool change that would check: #IF(#WKPLN=MAIN)< G140> #IF(#WKPLN=SUB)< G141> Any suggestions out there in the SmartMAN, I mean SmartCAM world. ====================================================================== To find out more about this mailing list including how to unsubscribe, send the message "info mfg-smartcam" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================================================
