Bar pulling with a 15L

We recently did a video talking about bar pulling on a 15L and in it I wrote a sub routine to use for commanding the bar puller. We’ll add the sub routine to Pathpilot with a future update but in the mean time I’ve attached it here so that any one can use it if they want to set up their machine to use a bar puller.

Here is the video where I go over use of the routine: Tormach 15L EZ Bar Puller/Automatic Collet Closer

Norman,

I love this approach with a sub-routine does that conflict with wanting to cycle a project for multiple parts with a single file? For example I manually coded my bar pulling inside of a G98 block for a total of 17 pieces from a single bar. Considering this is often how one would use the bar puller how does this code marry with the nc file for the part to get a completely automated code block?
