Horizontal NHX 4000

[DavidB]

Hi guys it's been about 12 years since  I programmed a Horizontal. I am looking at a Mori NHX 4000. I'm currently looking at programming some exsisting parts I run on my DMU 50 onto the Mori Horizontal.

I have downloaded the MPMASTER which uses Top WCS and Front T/C Plane for B0. Which is how I used to program a Horizontal. Is this still the preferred method?

My reseller gave me a Machine sim for the Mori Horizontal but it uses Top for B0.

Is there a way I can change the Machine sim Machine so I can test it with the MPMASTER an the way the post works with front at B0?

I can't currently run Machine sim because of the conflict between the  post using Front for B0 and the machine sim wanting B0 to be Top.

If I use the generic Horizontal  Machine sim supplied with Mastercam it all works. But I want to make sure everything for the Mori will be OK before I purchase it.

Thank you.

Front Horizontal that gets installed should be enough to do what you need David.

We have 24 HMCs. All are programmed at Top B0.

and I have 23 and all are B0 - Front

It really comes down to "user" preference at the end of the day, neither is wrong...
