One word Storkie.... Inhouse Posts. Well actually two words, but sounds better when you say "one word". Send me some sample code to look at.

You could try the Makino post that is installed with Mastercam X5. We have one that will support the new tech library format and one that will support the old method. Give them a try and see how close it is for you. I'm not familiar enough with the MGW-S III to say if it will work or not.

Storkman, the basic post is there depending on what your looking for and trying to do with programming.

 

When you step through the programming under the Wire/Power tab you'll have the "Tech" option tab in the middle of the screen. When you select it you will then need to click on the folder browse option in the upper right hand corner to go into the different libraries. Your MGW-lll will or should be under the SP43/SP64 tech file option.

 

Again this will be the basic power libraries, I'd recommend verifying the E#'s as well as offset values with a few test programs.

 

Can you give a us a little more information as the machine model, are you running the heat technology?

 

Ok, I went back in the files are showing for the MGW-S which is what our sp43's are. We choose when we received our second machine to install the older version of software to keep the two machine comparable for program ease. We don't usually run into the situation where the heat technology would do us a greater favor than the standard.

Brad, will your Makinos run 4 axis interpolation? G2/G3 in a 4 axis path?
