Hi Midgard,

 

Welcome to the forum......

 

What does you MC dealer have to say about the problem?

midgard,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

I'm not familiar with heidenhain posts, but there are two versions of it on the download disk. Of course you most likely will have to modify it to your liking. If you need a post made for you, contact your dealer.

Funny you both should ask about my MasterCam Rep.He is stupified ????At least that 's what they tell me. I know the machine will run with Feature Cam. Yes we did try to tweek the post in on the cd to no avail. Any other ideas. I could send you a sample program to see if you can find the BUG. Thanks from Midgard

Hi Midgard,

start with Toolfab's suggestion. If all else fails I might be able to help. I have 310 and 430 controls.

Midgard,

 

Ditto what Mayday said. Heidenhain is all I know. Do you program that machine iso or conversational?

[MIDGARD]

Both ways,but right now I just need to get this thing running,BOMB Boss On My Back.

Well tell the boss to buy the right post from the dealer. The dealer not gving you the support you need (which must not be the one I have used cause they have been great west coast and east coast) then call Mastercam direct and see what they can do for you. You need help then I say you start becoming the wheel that needs to be oiled and you will be taken care of.

 

Here is what I found for PA:

717-541-8123

 

Prism Engineering

215-784-0800 corporate head quaters.

Then of course mastercam:

I hope that helps

I'm guessing that it is on a Bridgeport. I've been stupified by one of those before.

Is the drilling is all messed up? (Like it wants to smash into the part and feed up?) I mave have the post you seek.

 

What is the machine make/type?

[MIDGARD]

The mill in ??? is a Bridgeport Interact 412 with a TNC 150 controll. Also, millman, I am using one of your references and will not bad mouth'em. We are all humans and need to work together.

[Oppiz]

I have a post for an "old" Bridgeport mill with a Heidenhain 150 control. The post is a modified version of MPHEID post found on disc. This is a conversational post. I'm willing to email it to you if you want??

That is if its okay with the forum "police"!

 

 

Where In Pa are you located

[MIDGARD]

Yes, OPPIZ, I would be VERY interested in the post you have for the OLD machine.So would my Mastercam Rep. You can email me at [email protected] , We are located in Green Lane , Pa. just north of Philly. Also a side note, my factory reps. have been in touch with me twice this morning already, after seeing my post on this forum. TEAM work, T ogether E veryone A ccomplishes M ore. Thanks A TON OPPIZ.

[crazy^millman]

Well Midgrad glad you got some help and yes we all for the most are here to help each other.

I was wondering what is your area of study and are you in the B.S. or M.S for your studies. I almost got a chance to be a Teacher/Student for Machine Shop at Florida State Unveristy but they could never get their money straighten out at the time and I dont up root without something firm.

 

Well glad you are going in the right direction. You didnt by chance buy the Machine off EBAY did you?

The machine I use that post for is an old timer (20yrs +) without a tool changer. Who's your dealer? mine is Innovative Solutions.

[MIDGARD]

My sister-in-law lives in Sayre. My M/C rep. is Prism Eng. from Horsham Pa. They are a good bunch of guys (Phill & Matt). Toolchanging issue has been worked on in the post you sent me. I can't wait to try it. Later
