Tilt Plane and second rotary axis

[Bayron]

Hello guys, I am a new student and I'm learning the language of post-processors alone. I've never done any course on post-processors, but learned a lot alone. I would like learn how I create tilt planes and second axis rotary. Currently I modifying the mpfan.pst . Thank you

Tudo Bon, You should look to the MpGen5Ax post to learn from. mpgen is to basic a post. Also look to the mill.set and the mpmaster posts on this web site all good information can be learned from them. The dealer in Brazil has a good group of people.

 

Boa noite

Thank you very much my friend.

You´re getting "bom" on this Ron!

Hi Bayron,

 

Per your private message, you are trying to do this for a Mill-Turn, and you will not get very far with the Generic Fanuc 5X Mill Post if you are trying to integrate turning and milling into the same post processor. That is because much of the post processor is encrypted. So you have some limited access to override some calculations, but there are no provisions in the binary section of the post to handle the difference between the lathe and mill code.

 

Your best bet honestly is to purchase a post that has already been configured. Have you talked with your Reseller about this? Your Reseller can also provide access to the MP Documentation Portfolio, which you'll need if you are doing post development.

 

Honestly if you are trying to get into doing post processors, then starting with a Mill-Turn post processor is probably not the best way to go about it, due to the complexity. I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm glad that you want to learn about post processors, but you need a good foundation of understanding how MP processes NCI data before you jump into creating a mill-turn post.

 

Also, have you contacted your Reseller about the new Mill-Turn module from Mastercam? That uses a new interface to program Mill-Turn machines, and offers so much more functionality compared to normal Mill and Lathe in Mastercam.

Hello Colin, thanks for replying to my message, I really understand that this is no easy task, but I will not give up, I can already learn a lot about post-processors for my own. I get some materials about about 5 simultaneous axes and positioned (3 + 2). I will continue studying and achieve my goal creating my post-processor. I've done many post to study and learn about it. About modulo mill-turn, I've seen many materials on it, including the already tested. It really is very good. But I have not much information about how to create more machines. Here in Brazil the current distributor does not pass on such information. But thank you for helping me.

Do you have a copy of the MP Documentation? It comes in one big PDF file. You'll want to read the section on Mill-Turn processing carefully. Basically you need to have two post blocks for each regular post block for things like Tool Change and Drilling.

 

For example, instead of 'psof$', you would have 'lsof$' and 'msof$'. The 'lsof$' gets called if the first tool is a lathe tool. The 'msof$' gets called if the first tool is a mill tool.

 

I think your best starting point would be the 'Generic Fanuc 4X MT_Lathe' post. That post at least has the regular mill/lathe post blocks, and has the correct logic to read info from the MD, and will handle Lathe Canned Roughing. Adding those features to the Generic Fanuc 5X Mill Post would be a lot more work than editing the 4X MT_Lathe post to support 5 Axis.

Hello Colin, thanks for your support. I'm sure this will help me.

 

I have the MP documents, but the V9, very old. I'm looking for the X7 version.

 

Dear Colin, I have a question. How could I get access to the contents of the "Generic Fanuc 5X Mill.psd" or similar?

 

What kind of information exist in this post-processor?

 

Being a generic, do not understand why we do not have access to it!

 

Thank you my friend.

Thank you my friend.

 

There is math and formulas inside of the locked area are developed hold things that are trade secrets for the software.

[Bayron]

in this case, what I'm trying to develop this into parts in this. "psb"?

[crazy^millman]

Yes that seems to be what you are after. Do a search about Vector math and Things along those lines.

[Bayron]

Okay, I found a material matrix, vectors. Also got some examples of pos that can help me. I'm starting to ride my pos. I have done some tests. It's getting great. Any doubts I'll post here in the forum. Guys hug.

 

Thank you very much.
