Clean Posts

[kennebec]

Just curious as to how completely all of you folks posts out put your code and how expensive (roughly) to get posts setup to suit?

Kennebec,

 

It all depends on how many changes you need to make. The people at this forum are very helpful with post mods. Ask specific questions and I'm sure you'll get the answers you need. That just takes some sweat equity.

 

Welcome to the forum!

My posts are completely clean, I do NOT have to make a single edit.

 

Cost is up to you. You can do it yourself or pay someone to do it. Cost is also driven by what you want done.

[Ralph@Faustson]

Ditto here. No edits required... post & go

[Guest]

yep thanks to these kind folks and their sharing of knowledge. along with many hours time invested applying changes and fixing variables that were presented there after. our posts output very clean code.

only edits happining here are the un-necesary ones done by operators because of personal pref. on there part

Full on ...no editing what so ever

Post out for Okuma's 4 and 5 axis machines

did some editing starting with 3 axis post as boss was too cheap to buy one but we had the grandfather clause for 4 and 5 axis on our seat here ...so i did the editing with some help on here and former experience with post editing from other shops.

Ditto, no editing, post it and run it.

[Thee Dragracer1951]

No editing for me either...3 and 4 axis mill and lathe. Lots of help from this forum. I was used to earlier posts like V8...got to 9 an dgot lost in the variables. I still am but with help, I've got mine sorted.

Only have a 3 axis post for a Fadal myself but post it and go right to machine. I have also helped our tool room guy set up posts for Mitsubishes with Meldas control and a Monarch with Fanuc so that he can post and go. I do owe kudos to the good folks here for helping me better understand how posts work (and a few other things too).

ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY ZERO EDITING EVER!!!!!

 

As far as cost, worth every penny no matter the cost. The value in "Post and Run" is no scrap due to editing errors, change and run, man... the list goes on and on. It pays so.... big time.

Do you have examples of an unclean post?

I would say an unclean post is one where you have to manually edit in tool pick-up in a laser tool offsetter, or likewise for probing. I would also say that an unclean post is one where you have to manually call up sub programs or macros.

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Unclean is when you have to edit even a single character before running it.

Good Morning

 

I am trying to figure out my posting problem and curious if some of the problem may be my approach; I am cutting my cross contour in C and T Plane Back, My coordinates make no sense,Z is constantly changing, do I have to manipulate my GEO to some Cut position I am not aware of

 

Thanks

Kennebec

I recommend starting a new thread for this problem and maybe put your file on the FTP for others to look at.
