I have not machined this material personally but, I found these:

Pro-e had a nice punch press module, I used it maybe 10 years ago.......
Of course, you would need the basic module first, then the sheetmetal module, then the sheetmetal mg module, then a post...etc...etc...
MP35N® is an age-hardened, nonmagnetic, biocompatible cobalt-nickel-chromium alloy with molybdenum added for corrosion resistance. It is often triple-melted to insure purity, stability, and overall performance. This is achieved by adding an electroslag remelt (ESR) in between the typical vacuum induction melt (VIM) and vacuum arc remelt (VAR).
Among it's uses in the medical industry are:
Orthopedic wires and cable
Catheters
Pacing lead wire conductors
Stylets and probe wires
MP35N® is also referred to as:
UNS R30035
ASTM F562
35Co-35Ni-20Cr-10Mo
NACE MR-0175\

My P+W Alloy ref list has this material:
PWA spec #114
AMS # 5758
It shows machinability at 16 percent.
Thanks guys,
I didn't know this but, they are doing this on the 5th axis and auto lock/unlock only works on the 4th axis.
Things the don't tell ya.....
Brandon, yes, that is the answer I got from someone else too.
Cjep, thanks I will check my post.
We are searching for a parameter which will automatically clamp/unclamp the rotary table in a Niigata HN-63 with a Fanuc 18M control.
We do not want to have M10-M11 before and after each move.
The part has a very small true pos. callout and we are having problems holding it without clamping.
The program ran last time on a similar machine which does have auto-clamp/unclamp working.
Thank you.

Hardinge has some dimensions for this:

I would guess there are bolts going thru the face of the chuck, remove those and the chuck should come off.
Nevermind, Day late, Dollar short....
To use the chipbreaker on the insert, your feed needs to be higher than the land on the edge of the insert.
We will use GP style chipbreakers because it is a sharp corner. (Works well on high-temp alloys)
A CNMG-432-MM (Sandvik) has a .011-.012 land so, feed would have to be .012 or higher to take full advantage of the chipbreaker geometry.
HTH...
We have a post that counts rapid moves and will put in insert change points.
It uses misc. integers for # of passes and compares to rapid moves.
You can't use a rapid lead-out though, it messes up the count so, I use a fast-feed lead-out.
Kennametal KC5010 for no interruptions
Sandvik 1025 thru interruptions
100-120 sfm .007-.010 fpr rough
100-150 sfm .005-.008 fpr finish
Keep doc less than rad of tool.
For deeper doc use lead angle 15deg.-45deg.
Ceramic, for roughing leave .06 stk for carbide
600-1000 sfm .008-.010 fpr
15deg. lead or large rad
FLOOD coolant, make sure its clean an mixed properly.
I run all my programs through InPlot.
It has a syntax checks for:
Mismatched comment
Mismatched brackets
Feed w/o spindle
feed w/o coolant
double addresses
Bad value
G0 with feed
letter "O"
No value
Bad arc
G and M code range (you input the codes needed)
No G40
Decimal point
Really saves me lots of time checking programs!
P.S.
I don't work for or have any affiliation with the software mfr.
It looks like there are a few sites from whom you could buy this spec.

I couldn't find any "free" info except for this pump catalog: web page
(It's on page 5, a 6-spline and it references SAE 6B)
HTH,
BTR is an acronym for Behind the Tape Reader.
It is usually a tape emulator box, we use them for our Okuma OSP3000 controls.
Ours was installed by CNC Innovations
Just be sure to connect pin 1 to the shield on the machine side only.
You don't want to have 2 frame grounds.
On the PC side (9 pin connector), "pin 1" is the connector shell.
Most 25 to 9 pin adapters do not ground pin 1 to the shell.
Yes, I noticed.

Another thing to look at is the tool clearance points and the compensation, you need to have the two red circles defining the cutting edge with the purple one defining the clearence edge, ecpecially important when using a 45deg. tool for facing/turning.
For what it's worth,
"setncstr" looks to be a variable used to return a value for "set nc string" for the progno name.
check the top section where variables are initialized.
