Issues with MultiCAM MCX post.

[crippler]

Hi all.

I'm fairly new to all this programming stuff, to say the least, so please forgive any ingorance with my post here. I'm having some issues getting a working post for our MultiCAMs in MCX. I converted our .pst from MC9 to MCX. I can not get the MCX NC to match the MC9 NC. I have played w/ the Control definition and such w/ no luck. I just can't seem to get MCX to output all those Z values that is inherent to the MultiCAM, with it's upside-down z-axis. Any tips or advice anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi guy,

 

With respect to post errors the official advice is to contact you reseller to correct any errors logs I believe. Hopefully you followed your instructions on the migration worksheets closely it walks you through most of the updating processes. Normally you will see a error log file output when things don't cross over cleanly.

Thanks for the reply. The thing is I get no errors with the MCX conversion during the update. Our reseller will be up to our facility to do some MCX rollout stuff so hopefully I can get some help then.

Thanks.

I updated MPMulticam.pst for X and the code output is identical. Email me a copy of your X Multicam post and I will have a look. [email protected]

Nice, thanks Paul. I'll send that to you. I just found a varible error in the X post but it's related to Toolchanging, I think. I unselected the Drill Cycles in the Control def. and that took care of all those Z values I was looking for, long code. Now I'm working on the linear motion output. I've had no post editing training, so maybe that's why this is harder then it should be for me.

 

Thanks again.

This is for Paul at CNC Software, what can I do about getting a post for an NUM 750/SCM Record 2 Router????? ( It has some interesting G codes and E codes ) Still battling to get V9 working ( never done a single job yet with it) and I have X but no codes.

Your dealer can contact us and we will send out a post request to all of our dealers (world wide). The Record 2 is pretty old, but it is likely that someone has done a post for it.
