RE: [mfg-smartcam] Spindle on/off

[Bob Manganello]

Thanks Bill and Dan   I figured that was the case but I was just hoping. My .TMP files are becoming extremly long and therefore hard to follow, with all the logic already in there so I was trying to avoid adding more.   Thanks again for your confirmation and help Bob M. -----Original Message----- From: Nix, Dan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 9:01 AM To: Bob Manganello; SCQUEST (E-mail) Subject: RE: [mfg-smartcam] Spindle on/off Our probe is always tool 32, thus we output: G15 H#WKPLN #MOV X#XPOS Y#YPOS#IF(#TOOL<31)< S#SPEED #SPNDL> #FDMODE   On a CNC mill, at a tool change, your spindle will most likely be off (M5) already. But if you had to have the M5, you could do this: G15 H#WKPLN #MOV X#XPOS Y#YPOS#IF(#TOOL<31)< S#SPEED #SPNDL>#IF(#TOOL=32)< M5> #FDMODE   -----Original Message----- From: Bob Manganello [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 3:25 AM To: SCQUEST (E-mail) Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Spindle on/off   Is there a way to create a tool in the job oper. planner so that the #SPNDL in the .TMP will put out an M5 or nothing? Or do I have to build the logic into the .TMP   I need to keep the spindl from starting when I'm probing.   Thanks Bob M.
