In need of a post for a Mori Seiki Post

[Cbgstyleshindsbock]

Hi there I am in need of a control & machine definition and post for a mori seiki lathe X and Z axis with a C axis I've tryed the ones that came with my mastercam (x5) and even the one that's listed on this site , I had better luck with the mplmaster .pst free download from this site but didn't have the G71 canned cycle in it ?

I've contacted the reseller but they are very backed up right now any help would be appreciated thanks Chris

You're not getting G71 output because you're not using the Lathe "canned" cycles. If you do a lathe rough or lathe finish, or anything that's not specifically in the "canned" menu, longhand path is output, ALWAYS.

 

You have to specifically use lathe canned tool paths then it will output as you expect.

thank you very much that worked perfectly ,now the problem im having is that my machine only has a C axis but when I post it has a Y axis where the C axis should be

I have the C axis picked correctly in the axis rotation parameters ?

Sounds like a bad machine was picked for the control. Need to pick a C axis machine and not a C-Y machine and it should correct itself. Also make sure you only use C axis toolpaths or understand how to correctly setup your T-C Planes if going ot be using Mill Toolpaths.

I agree with you all the way it's in the machine def

Ill try one with just C axis

I'm glad there's people like you on this forum to help people like me

Thanks again chris
