Haas ST-30 Lathe Post

[Odin]

SO here is the thing. We have been trying to get a post for our Haas ST-30 lathe that we have on the way. I have contacted the reseller in our area numerous times in the past 3 weeks. Our new lathe is expected to be delivered within the next 2 weeks. We have MX6 lathe already set up and configured on the pc we are going to use. The only thing missing is the post. Any ideas on how to go about getting one? Here is a bit of info for the lathe....

 

Haas ST-30 Lathe

Full Function Haas control

Rigid Tapping

Fully programmable Tailstock

Automatic tool presetter

3400-rpm high-torque spindle;

30 hp vector drive

12-station bolt-on style turret

No Live tooling

 

 

Any info would be helpful. TIA

ON a 2 axis lathe, I would start with either the Generic 2 axis slat bed or the MPLMaster

 

Only going to require a few tweaks

Odin,

We are currently developing a post for the ST models here at corporate. Contact your reseller

so they can contact us with the info we need - to get you going with the post.

 

Thanks and have a great day.

How different is this from an SL30 post, I got one and willing to share if you need it. I have made the customizations we needed.

^Do you have the live tooling on your post?

The Lines in red are the ones that i dont need in program.

what do i need to get rid of in the post so that these line will not be in the program each time a post one?

Here is a portion of the post

Thanks for any help!

[roland_1]

just find in your post that that looks like a text that you don't want in gcode and on a beginning of that line in post put sign #. thats it

[Chris In-House Solutions]

Odin like roland_1 said put a "#" in front of the following lines to remove the code.

 

 

---->#"(", "PROGRAM NAME - ", sprogname$, ")", e$

---->#"(", "DATE - ", *smonth, " ", day$, " ", *year2," TIME - ", ptime, ")", e$ #Date output as month,day,year - Ex. Feb. 12 2005

 

---->#"(", "MCX FILE - ", *smcname$, *smcext$, ")", e$ #*smcpath$,

---->#"(", "NC FILE - ", *snamenc$, *sextnc$, ")", e$ #*spathnc$,

---->#"(", "MATERIAL - ", *stck_matl$, ")", e$

Thanks Again!

I'm also looking for a Post for an ST30 for MasterCAM X5. I've been posting with the GENERIC HAAS SL 4X MT_LATHE MM.LMD-5 that MasterCAM supplied me with. Here's the bugs I have found so far:

* threading cycles are wrong these are posted a a two line (should be single line)

* Peck Drill G74 should (also be a single line and Q should be I)

* comments too long.

I suspect there are a few more problems I haven't been running the machine very long.

Anyone know how to fix these (I'v just been manually making the necessarily changes)

Or better yet have a post that works they can share.

Thanks.
