X3 Fanuc Mill FASTpost Download

[Alex Cole]

I developed this post back for X2mr1 with a VB interface to configure the output. I have decided to make this post available for anyone to use for X3.

 

This post is a Fanuc based 3 and 4 axis post that has over 75 different switches and output definitions that are very easy for an end user to configure.

 

All of these switches and settings have descriptive notes with each one to assist in understanding what each is for.

 

This post was designed to allow someone who is not able to edit the post logic themselves to be able to set switches and define outputs before having to seek help for post changes.

 

People who already work with posts will find this post can save time in setup.

 

This post is very powerful in how it can affect program format output.

 

Please let me know about your experiences using this post. If it is helping people out there I will continue development of this post in the future.

 

 

I do not have the visual config utility setup for X3 at this time. If there is interest then I will work on getting it updated to X3.

I gave it a brief look. It looks pretty handy. I can do some minor post edits but this thing looks real easy.

 

Thank You and all of the other people at Fastech.

Thanks Alex

For those of you that are interested I have added a download at the bottom of this msg to the download of the X2 Visual config utility I wrote for X2.

 

You can use it as is. If there is interest I may set it up for X3 too!

 

Let me know.

Hi Alex,

 

Nice work man! This will come in very handy. I'd love to see something like this integrated into the MPMaster post. It would make life so much easier for anyone that is a novice and doesn't have much interest in learning the MP language. I've written many different posts and always thought it would be great to create a GUI that you could use to format the post output and set your switches. I know there are a couple different packages like this that are available for Catia, but they cost big $$$.

 

I think there could be a real market for a post/configuration utility combo like this. Espically if someone developed one that could configure a 5 axis machine. I think Camiax has something like this if I'm not mistaken...

I work with Alex and I don't think he has time to go backwards to do it for V9. We are working on X3 release at this time.

Alex,

 

Thanks for the download. I'll have our mill guy give it a shot on the Haas.

 

Do you have any desire to help us lathe guys out with a similar product for lathe?

 

I am sure I wouldn't be only one indebted to you if you did.

I can try to work on it. It may take me a little while as I am very busy at the moment.
