screw machines

[KJS]

I was hoping to get some help with screw machines. I have no experience with them what so ever and really don't know too much about them as far as programming goes. Since we may bring one in house in the future I'm just getting info. My question is this, Can they be programmed with Mastercam and if they can how involved is it? Thanks for any help.

It you have wait code and thing I see you beign able oto program anythign you would want just make have to have a trick post to get the wait codes and otehr thing the way you want.

Watch what you wish for you might just get it. Thanks to Dave at Postability or I would have been sunk on my current project. Nakamura-Tome Super NTYᶟ. Getting 3 streams of code and Jump commands and wait codes.

 

Thank goodness for spell check or I would still look at stupid now as I did back then. :laughing:

I thought you were just fed up with your machines...

I wouldn't want to tackle any Swiss or mill turn with standard MCX. I do 9-13 axis every day with another software that is designed with multi channels in mind.

What about http://www.mastercam.com/en-us/Solutions/Swiss-Machining for the swiss option.

...provided they have your machine built in swiss expert. We've got seven swiss machines here, and Swiss expert only has a model for one. So that's the only one I can program.

Too limited in the machines supported.
