Post problems on the Y axis spindel Hermle UWF 1200 Heidenhain control

[Bill K]

We have a Hermle UWF 1200, it has a X and Y axis spindel. I haven't used the Y axis in a long time, and the post I was using doesn't work with Mastercam v9.1 even though v9.1 is old, the post is much older. The problem seems to be with circle center.

Does anyone know where I can find a post that will work?

BTW The Z post we use doesn't have any issues at all

Have you tried to update the post with the Choock in Mastercam? UpdatePost.dll in VX5

Just tried to update, still getting errors.

Its been so long since I've used this post, that I don't know what version it is. How do I find that info?

[bigjohn]

The very first line on top of the PST file.

Thanks for the reply Bigjohn.

Are you referring to the the text that comes with the post? If its the post file, how would I open it to view the first line? To be honest, I don't know much about posts, but I really need to get this post working.

Hi Bill,

 

Are you sure it has ever worked for the Y-axis spindle?

There are different ways to tell the post to use the Y instead of the Z spindle.

Since you know that circle centers is the problem, I guess you know how to select Y.

If linear moves work, and circular doesn't, I guess you need to modify the post.

Could it be that CC still output XY-values when it should be XZ?
