Hurco Ultimax post


Recommended Posts

I need to get a Hurco Ultimax post for a 3 axis mill. I downloaded one from my reseller but it does not like arcs, it also has an issue with drilling. I thought that the post would be about 95% there but it seems to need alot of work. I have used other softwares that acully had a poat editor for writing posts.

 

I thank you in advance for any help.

The standard ultimax post should work fine, typically I send my customers the v9 post and they just update it. It even works on the new hurco control. Do you know if thats where yours came from?

 

As far as post editing. Alot of things are handled thru either machine def or control def, and when I have to edit the post I just use notepad.
