5 axis fadal post

[greenxman]

hello all

first i know 5 axis and fadal in the same sentence is crazy.

i did call the dealer to get some info from them.  I know they are not free, this is not my first rodeo.

Just doing my home work before i do anything learned my lessons for before.

Is there one already made? (why reinvent the wheel) Did a search and did not really find any answers.

What is the difference between the dealer and cnc service on here making it?

If you have a bit of know-how with posts the Generic Fanuc 5X mill.pst that comes with Mastercam can be modified pretty heavily. With that said, it's a decent undertaking in terms of time and commitment. Most of the hidden stuff in the .psb is of little concern to you as the end user. It's just formulas for calculations that rarely needs modification. The hardest thing will be setting up the switches and mapping for your machine. Is this the first multi-axis machine in the shop?

Having used one myself, Yes it is available off the shelf. The difference might be the available resources to make any custom tweaks you desire, thus the turnaround time.
