Subject: Adding a pause for Z move

Hi Tom,  I have a Bridgeport mill that is controlled by Kflop/Kanalog

I only have X and Y Axis automated. This is only for positioning  the quill or knee will be operated manually. I am looking for a .c program that will pause the G code and prompt the operator to move the Z axis to position xx.xxxx then press Cycle Start to resume.

 

Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,

Are you using KMotionCNC?

Do you really need a C Program?  In KMotionCNC you embed special comments that will display an Operator Message Box.  The format is:

(MSG,Move the Z axis to position xx.xxxx then press OK to resume)

Regards
TK
