using fanuc 5-axis post for heidenhain controller

[Yogesh K. Raman]

Is it possible to start with the generic fanuc 5-axis post and modify it to run a heidenhain 5-axis machine using ISO programming? Using XMR1, was thinking as a cost cutting measure...

Yogesh,

 

That is possible but there will be a lot of work.

yes it is possible and dam its a lot of work... i had to do it for Geneng in Beenleigh as they originally had nothing...an i mean nothing for a real post ...my predecessors were cutting and pasting programs together and changing the offsets manually and oh my god ...i was stoked when i saw that...so it took me about 2 weeks and some final tweaking from the ppl on here to get it going while i was running the machines
