We have recently bought a Makino Hyper5 milling machine. Can anyone tell me where i can get a pro/nc compatible post for this machine as the supplier does not have this post.
I just went through the same thing but with a different machine. I ended up writing my own post. It was time consuming but not really too complicated as long as you have G-post. You have to have good documentation on the machine, all the G codes, registers, limits, and such.
Unfortunatly i know absolutly nothing about writing post's and the manual we have is completly in Japanese!!!. I did basic cnc programming at college but that was all ;-) 2 of our sister companies already use this machine but 1 uses Catia and the other uses a stand alone nc package.
Talk to your PTC Sales guy and have him talk to the consultant group or Aplication engineers and see if they know of a customer that they wrote one for or know of a customer that has one. Sometimes they already have them and are willing to share....
Thanx for your replies. We have decided to purchase a general post program, ( either Cam-post or Teso post ). Does anyone use either of the above ? How accurate are they ?
