ahhh,

 

you program the part and then press the post button, there is nothing special about posting, it is the programming end you must pay attention to.

check with Axsys. your right the post isnt cheap but usless without one. also a bit confusing at first setting everything up.

Depends on what you call expensive. With all the problems that can come with being new to 5 axis the price of the CNC suppied post will be one great deal. Being new to 5 axis machine, New to 5 axis programming in Mastercan and not being sure about your post is a no win situation.

 

Camaix also has a nice post I used with the VF2/160. It has a simulator that comes with to verify the code. Now that is a bit pricey but it allowed us to hit the ground running with a new 5 axis.

We have new Haas with trunion for a month now .

My advice from my own experience -

go with your dealer ,pay him ,use his post and customise according to your needs .

You`ll never know what you need to change before running your new machine for a couple of days

Before my company spent the money for the 5 axis post I would just rotate and copy for each plane that I was needing to machine in. Create a manual op before each opeation to put in my "A" & "B" rotations and "Z" clearance moves in.

Thats cheap as* company in my opinion. Spend the big cake on a 5 axis machine and then skimp of the post to make it work properly.

 

Cheap, short sighted and ignorant in my view.

 

1/2 mil on a 5 axis miller and several k for a post is with held, that is just plain old STUPID!!!!!

I do not know if it was the company being cheap or the previos programmer not letting management know how important it was.

 

I have it now, really makes things much easier.

I'm doing some work for a company that spent big bucks on a custom multiaxis post.

Everytime I talked to the owner he told what a POS the post was and how badly his dealer had ripped him off.

I found this hard to believe as I am familiar with the post and the people he's dealing with.

 

It turned out his old programmer had no clue how to program multiaxis work.

He was rotating his geometry, doing all his cuts in Top plane and pasting all the gcode together

by hand.

 

It took a lot or programing time and a lot of troubleshooting time at the machine to get good parts. Of course the programmer was blaming this all on the "POS" post.
