Help with post

[Joel Schreiner]

I am having troubles with my post. I have a cincinnati arrow 750 series 2. I would like to be able to just post and run with out havig to edit the program. The control is a seimens acramatic 2100. I'm using mpa2100e post from the ver 9 disk, when I talked to my dealer he gave me the old vickers post and it doesn't work very good. I have the post book and I have started to edit my post with some luck. My dealer also told me that I would better luck starting with the mpmaster. I took a look at the mpmaster and it looks like alot of work. I was just wondering what the best think to do.

thanks for any help

Why dont you get your dealer to doll it up for you?,im sure they`d hook you up for a nominal fee....or take a p0ost training class from them if they offer one and then you could doll it up

If you post what you need changed, mayhaps you could get some 'freebee' advice from us local post guru's. I'm sure most of us wouldn't mind helping out if there's not too much you need done.

I've had my dealer modify a couple of my posts and didn't have to pay a dime.

Just send them the .mc9 file,.nc file,both types of post(the .txt and the .pst),and the program that you have modified along with notes of what you want and don't want on each line of the modified post.

usually takes a week or so,then they email you back the stuff and you're off and running.

Thank you all for your replies. I know that my dealer can fix it for me, but I want to learn myself. As I go I will be asking for help. What I don't under stand is why would I start with the mpmaster when the mpa2100e is almost done. There is only a few things that need to be done. This may be a dum question. But I just don't see the reasonig behind it.

You are right. If you have a post that is almost what you want spend a little time and tweak it in. Why reinvent the wheel. The mpmaster post is a great post but it has alot of bells and whistles that you may not need.

Just a guess...

 

The mpmaster probably contains everything describeds in the manual.

 

There may be something in mpmaster that you could cut and paste into the mpa2100e.pst

Thanks for all your help.

Dave I got your e-mail thanks.

I do have the manuals on CD if that helps.

I will try to put it on our web site and then you could print what you want, or would you perfer a copy? let me know.

Sent Joel a post to test out (he's a licensed Canadian customer in our database).

 

I have a series of 3/4-Axis mill posts based on Mpmaster for controls that are too distinct to be lumped under one post - e.g. A2100, Fadal, xxxxor, Heidenhain TNC Conversational (Klartext)/ISO, Heidenhain Millplus (Philips, Grundig?), Okuma, Siemens 840D, Tosnuc. These posts are available to resellers upon request.

James Meyette has a post that he shared with me. It workes great for us. Maybe you should as him and he would help you. HTH
