  1. Thank you for the information, and I might reach out to you depending on the outcome of our help from Mastercam. They are currently working behind the scenes to get this problem resolved, and I am very optimistic that they will get it figured out. May not happen in a short while, but Rhome wasn't built in a day either!
  2. Appreciate that my friend. We had a teams meeting today with our reseller and Mastercam so hopefully were onto bigger and better things! I will be sending you an email Aaron so be on the lookout for that. Thank you again!
  3. Sorry for the late reply... I was locked out due to being a newbie lol. Here's the update so far... We have had these machines in the shop for just under 4 years. Originally was going to be setup to run g-code but we had a few DMG guys come in and tell us to run it with their structure or conversational programming. We are at a point now; we need just basic code and was told this Mill Turn software was the way to go! The salesman has since retired, and we are still on the island waiting for help! My co-worker aka other programmer has been working on this project since December 2023 when we purchased said software. He has made some headway but just keeps getting the runaround. I can't tell you how many people he has had conversations with, or shared screens with etc. but I know it's quite a few. Ok now for my input. I took the file @Aaron Eberhard uploaded and was able to see the changes that should have been made. I was able to fumble around enough to get the software to output the separate files; however, the main program still dumps both channels in one file. I then cut and pasted each channel into its own .MPF file and loaded those onto the machine including the appropriate subs. I tried running the machine this morning and although we finally got some movement we ran into a few alarms. For the time being, I have block skipped them and have the cycle in simulation working!!! We are a long way away but seems promising, especially with the help of you guys. I need to get back to @scottm085 regarding the process as it sounds like he has a workaround that might help us. As of right now our Mill Turn license only works for 2024 version and I'm not sure who we are to get ahold of now since our reseller has retired. Maybe we could share screens when you have time and give us some help? Thank you all for taking the time out of your day and helping us! I know my boss appreciates the progress we have made just in the last 24 hours.
  4. yes our machines are very similar as we have Siemens as well. I am attaching the zip2go file here for others to look. DG-C31-TSD-S_rev_A.MCAM-CONTENT
  5. Thanks, but we don't like them lol We have (4) of the same machine, dual spindle dual turrets with live tooling.
  6. Just a quick question that maybe one of you guys might be able to help me with. My co-worker and I are banging our heads trying to figure out what this machine is supposed to be doing. We bought a "turnkey" Mill turn software from Mastercam that hasn't worked since day 1. We have the code that Mastercam outputs but that is where we have hit a wall. Both Mastercam and DMG Mori have no idea what's going on, nor have they been at the machine to see it for themselves. We are at our wits end! For starters, the output has everything in one file, including the subs which coming from another siemens control I know they should be separated, right?? Second is there a parameter or something that we are missing to take this machine out of shop turn and program/run it like a FANUC control? I know it's a siemens but just plain old G-code. We are loading the code into channel 1 but it's wanting something in channel 2, I think. Both him and I are not versed well on this machine, so we feel like we're on an island just waiting out the storm lol. This machine has the CELOS front end and I have read you can disable the CELOS? Is that what is needed to run our own code? TIA
