Colin,

Hi Tim,

 

Those posts are available on the X7 Post Installation Install program, available from your Mastercam Reseller. If your Reseller isn't familiar with this program, they can contact the Post Department for support. This installation program is available for them to download from our Extranet.

 

Thanks,

 

Colin

[Mr. M]

Thank you Colin!

[Colin Gilchrist]

Thanks Mr. M, but I can't take all the credit...

 

I hope you guys find both posts useful.

 

Tim, I'd appreciate some feedback on the Okuma post if you have any. I think the Drill Cycles still need a little bit of work. I was waiting for some feedback from a couple different A.E.s, but never got much...

 

Thanks,

 

Colin

[Mr. M]

Colin, I just sent my reseller an email so I can get these posts. Once I get them I would be more than happy to test out the Okuma post drill cycles for you.

when is x7 going to include a free mac-turn 30 post? .

Colin,

 

I'll take a look as soon as I can.

 

I send you a direct email.

Colin,

 

Was the peck tapping ever set up in the MB series vertical post? I recall you mentioning it was going to be implemented.

 

I'm happy to test the posts as well

[Colin Gilchrist]

Hi Mick,

 

I don't think I ever updated the Tapping cycle to include the Peck parameter. Thanks for reminding me, I'll add that to my list...

Sorry, I didn't want to contribute to what I imagine is an already bulging list

Curious if it has Hi-Cut misc values in it. Sooo busy now can't even consider even looking at it yet.

Hi Chris,

 

Yes, it does. Well, Super Nurbs actually. I've right now been testing some of it. I just added peck tapping to the P200 control post as well

[Colin Gilchrist]

Hi Chris,

 

Yes, the Okuma post support both Hi-Cut and Super-NURBS functionality. A switch in the post sets which mode you are using.

 

I set some basic defaults for both Inch and Metric default values. You can easily change the defaults either through the Control Definition Manager, or by manually editing the defaults in the post.

 

Hope that helps,

 

Colin

I just talked to my re-seller and he said the post installs with X7. I have "Generic Haas 4X Mill.pst". Is this the one you are talking about or is there another?

 

Thanks, Kevin K.

Send this link to your reseller, no not the same ones

The link isn't working. I'm looking for more info on the post for Okuma to relay to my reseller. I'm getting a Genos 560 delivered this week.

[Colin Gilchrist]

There is a program your Reseller can download from the Mastercam Extranet, that has all of the optional posts for X7, including the Okuma P200 post. This is an executable (.exe) program that can be used to install all of the CNC Software created post processors.

[Oppiz]

Thanks Colin

 

I forwarded your response to my reseller and requested a copy of CNC Softwares post.

[CarbonCAD]

I see the last post was in 2013.  Is this still available?

[Colin Gilchrist]

You still have to get a copy of the Mastercam Post Installation program. This is an EXE program available through your Reseller. The default installation of Mastercam does not have these posts. You must run the exectuable program from Mastercam to install these...

 

And yes, they are still fantastic posts, and although I doubt many enhancements are schedueled for these posts, they make a great starting point.

[BenK]

I have contacted my reseller about getting a copy of this and haven't received any response, is there someone at CNC Software I could email directly?

[Colin Gilchrist]

I'd try '[email protected]' to ask for a copy. Just CC your Reseller to loop them in.

 

This might be something they can just send you a link to download off the new Mastercam Forum. I don't have access to the new forum, so I'm not sure if they have the "Posts" download links or not...

Guys, I am the new  Mastercam OEM guy working out of the Okuma Partners in thinc office in Charlotte, NC. Contacting your local dealer is the best route but I didnt think they are going to give out the whole EXE file. Let your dealer know specifically what machine/control you need and I am sure they can help.

 

With that note, I am working with the post group at Mastercam to prove out the Okuma post and get the certified from Okuma Corporate. Mastercam will be announcing the machines as they get done and will be available through your reseller.  Please feel free to contact me with question and I will do my best to help.
