Pausing in Woodwop, HOPS, and Biesseworks
3/16/17
Website: http://www.cabinetpro.com
We are implementing flip-side machining for MDF doors, vertical partitions, etc. and need the pause command used in Biesseworks, HOPS, and Woodwop. G4 is used in G-Code and PAUSE in SB Code, but Biesseworks, HOPS, and Woodwop are elusive. If anyone knows what the pause command in any of those languages is, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated!

Frank,
In the old Woodwop 4.0 it was a NC stop, a park, a release vacuum and then flip and continue. Not sure what the g codes are but you could do in woodwop and look at the prg.

I have it as follows for BSworks
@ WAIT, "", "", 39530916, "", 0 : 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0
(suspension and vacuum release with no translation of origin)
@ WAIT, "", "", 39532836, "", 0 : 0, 5, 0, 0, 1, 0
(suspension and vacuum release with translation from origin #1 to #5)
as always, service@biesseamerica.com for further details.

Dylan:
Remember, Cabinet Pro CNC writes the code directly to Biesseworks. Does your response mean that we simply add the line,
@ WAIT, "", "", 39530916, "", 0 : 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0
outside of any given block of code? In other words, that line as written will cause the machine to pause if inserted into the code?
For example, is the insertion shown just before the last BLOCK below correct?

Alan:
We are not working withing Woodwop so we don't have access to the NC icon. We are writing code directly to Woodwop. As an example, the code below will do the same thing as the code above for Biesseworks. Do you know the code that should be inserted in this code to initiate a pause?

You are creating a CID, I sent over the BSWorks created line format for a .bpp for suspension, let me ck my documentation and or check with service next week while I am there.

frank
you use CID its very old format of biesse
its cant read directly by the quote
(must convert to bpp,cix or iso)
also not support origin not pass parameters
and worst not support the new bsolid
i checked now(by try to export to cid)and Cid also not support re positioning
you can see the attach its the command that in BSW
i suggest you not spend time on cid,you will have many problem with the new biesse machines
upgrade to CIX
goodluck

Frank,
This is the NC stop info for WoodWop:
9.2.15 NC-Stop: NC-Stop-Makro
ID-Number: 117
E.g.:
<117 \NCStop\
VL="1"
XA="34"
YA="45"
_Y="1"
XV="0"
YV="0"
Explanation:
XA : X-position (drive away position)
YA : Y-position
XV : X-offset (after release vacuum land tighten again)
YV : Y-offset
VL : Release vacuum 1/0
KM : Comment
MD : Mode. (extension of self defined start macro)
_Y : Declare Y-coordinate 1/0
KO : Coordinate system
ZR : display message at realtime
WT : time to wait
?? : condition (default=1)
EN : Enable (default=1)

Thank you very much everyone!!! Biesseworks, Woodwop, G-Code, and SB-Code are all taken care of now. All that is needed needed is SCM's Wincut (HOPS). In addition, an individual company can customize the pause routine to automatically move the spindle out of the way before the machine is paused.
Rather than flipping parts, we are flipping the entire panel (unless it is a point to point). I think it's far more efficient, and more unlikely to make mistakes. What are your thoughts on flipping parts vs. flipping entire sheets?
Thank you again! Your code has already been implemented into the various post processors, and will be available to all in the next Program Update (this coming Monday). And yes, in addition to Biesse's CID files, we are adding the newer format. But of course, we need to maintain support for older machines & older software as well as the newer ones.
Thank you again.

Thanks.

wincut? its the beam saw software not cnc
scm for cnc its need xxl then convert to pgm or pgmx

Yes Katz. Cabinet Pro writes the g-code in an XXL file, and then SCM's software compiles it into a PGM file. We need the g-code for the pause command to be written into the XXL file. I am guessing it is the G4 command, since it is g-code, but am not sure since it needs to be compiled and may be required to be something else.

Katz, here is some sample code for SCM (a .xxl file) where a simple dado is being cut, and then the G4 pause command, followed by the same dado cut on the flipped side, and ending with the part cutout. It is the G4 command that I'm not sure about for this particular brand of G-Code.

Katz, here is an example of g-code (for the Patriot router) with flip side machining showing multiple lines of the PAUSE segment. In this example, we are getting the spindle out of the way before pausing.

We started flipping sheets or 6 sided machining about 6 years ago. Works great. Our philosophy with nested base is no secondary operations unless absolutely necessary. We frequently have dissimilar sides in our parts. I don't know code on this as it all happens in CV. This was a hold up in our purchase of the automatic load unload machine. At first nobody had a solution to allow it to stop the process and allow for a flip. CV now has a post that combines the 2 files into 1 and inserts the pause automatically, allowing us 2 flip sheets and not have to run secondary operations. We are very happy with it.
We also learned that certain things were causing additional flips, mostly non thru holes on one side of a symmetrical panel. We changed are set up to theu drill those even if it didn't need it. We now flip about 2 in20 sheets.

Thank you Derek for the information. It turns out that we are handling flip side machining in a manner very similar to what you described. I have attached a video for you that shows how Cabinet Pro CNC handles this process.
