WE have a Makino MCB 1210 HMC and we just got a Makino A99 HMC. Will the Makino 1210 post work on the Makino A99? I have it post to machine, but it keeps saying improper G code. I'm not sure what to do. I couldn't attach the post Thanks

Thanks fellas ,I'm getting ready to give it a try. Thanks again!!!

I am trying to figure out how to position gun drill inside of hole before coolant and spindle are turned on. How do I go about doing so? here is the code for the drill (chip break ) program. I want the spindle and coolant on at Z -1.0. % O0000 G17G40G49G80 (T0 61/64 Sterling Gun Drill) M741(Conveyor On) G0G90G40G56X-13.4145Y-6.7092S627M3 G43H3Z2.M26 G98G73Z-13.1835R-1.Q.005F8. G80 M9 G91G30Z0.M5 G53G49 M740(Conveyor Off) M30 % Any Help is appreciated! THANKS

Management wont' push em to upgrade to X7... (management here = spineless Nancy's) . 4 outta the 6 seats we have are still on X5. I update as soon as there is an update on my box and the lathe box. Guess they wont be able to open the X7 files after I'm finished with em!

Can you save files as previous Versions in X7? We still have a 2 guys here that wont update to X6 or X7, so we have to save model as previous versions. Thanks

I think i may have got it figured out. I ran the HASP setup, and it hasn't shutoff since i ran it. Been 20 min.

I have been Getting the SIM disconnect also, I have local hasp and not NETHASP. I got an update for the hasp and now it shuts X6 down 3-5min after i start it up. Dont understand whats going on either. Did a driver rollback and restore still no joy. Any Ideas??

Look into Hannibal http://www.hannibalcarbide.com/ Thats all we use is extended reach carbide tipped reamers(8" OAL and 2" flute Length") in 45-65 Rc H13. They have Spiral flut, straight flute, Through Coolant, solid carbide, carbide tipped. Shoot an email and they will send you catalogs and all info you need.

Im not familiar with it either. Im not quite sure if its a sub or not. We cant even figure out how to get into the O9999 nunbers.

When we change G83 to G73, it throws alarm 315 ( Invalid P code in M97,M98,or M99).

Nope. We tried that also. It threw a error. Also tried adjusting setting 22 in the control... nothing. I'll look and see what error it was. Thx

We are trying to Chip break on our Haas ST-30 and when we run the program it will not chip break, it does a full retract peck drilling cycle. It posts the "G83" Prck drill cycle. I looked in the post itself and the chip break and the peck drill cycle both are "G83" . Anybody have a clue on how to chip break with this machine? TIA

Thanks Stephen changing the omitseq$ to 1 did the trick. The fella that was mesing with the post had a yes$ in it. All is posting good.

Thanks guys I'll give it try after lunch.

Thanks, Cjep...Thats the thing, they are shutoff in the control def. The guy must have done something in cimco or the post itself. I shut them off in cimco also, but they are still there when we bring in the program. I looked in the post also, and the line for Omitting the sequence numbers are switched of with the yes$ . Its beyond me lol confusion setting in!! Thanks for the help!!

I am trying to remove the block numbers from showing in CIMCO editor. It was setup up to bring in the program into the editor without the block number. Someone tweeked the post (now block numbers are back!!).Getting tired of manually turning them off. Is there a way to do this in the post, MC, or CIMCO. I cant seem to find the right place to do so? . Using MasterCAM X6 Lathe, CImco Editor. TIA for any help!!

We have a Speroni also... everyone here that uses it likes it.

Look at ISCAR Multi_master or Ingersoll Chip surfer.

Get me an email and i can share the post our reseller sent me.

Thank You very Much Fellas... Ill give it a shot... Thanks Again!

I got the post and the control set up in mastercam, now i just need some help with removing some lines that are posting at the beginning of each program. % O0001 (PROGRAM NAME - TUIT 1) (DATE - APR. 18 2012 TIME - 10:32 AM) (MCX FILE - TUIT 1.MCX-6) (NC FILE - TUIT 1.NC) (MATERIAL - STEEL INCH - 1030 - 200 BHN) G20 (TOOL - 2 OFFSET - 2) (OD 55 DEG RIGHT INSERT - DNMG-432) ( FINISH OD ) N2 G54 T202 G50 S3600 G97 S3600 M03 G0 Z.0015 M88 X-.1224 G96 S200 G99 G1 X.0191 Z.0722 F.01 X.4817 Z-.1592 G3 X.5 Z-.1812 I-.0221 K-.0221 G1 Z-.6312 G2 X.7375 Z-.75 I.1188 The Lines in red are the ones that i dont need in program. what do i need to get rid of in the post so that these line will not be in the program each time a post one?

Greyman > Our reseller finally got back with me, with a post,got MX6 configured with it all. Waiting for the lathe to arrive so we can get it cutting chips... Rocketmachinist> wish they would have got the live toolin option though...

Thanks John and Pedro, Ill get a hold of them this afternoon and give all the info to Randy or Mitch. Thanks again, Sean

SO here is the thing. We have been trying to get a post for our Haas ST-30 lathe that we have on the way. I have contacted the reseller in our area numerous times in the past 3 weeks. Our new lathe is expected to be delivered within the next 2 weeks. We have MX6 lathe already set up and configured on the pc we are going to use. The only thing missing is the post. Any ideas on how to go about getting one? Here is a bit of info for the lathe.... Haas ST-30 Lathe Full Function Haas control Rigid Tapping Fully programmable Tailstock Automatic tool presetter 3400-rpm high-torque spindle; 30 hp vector drive 12-station bolt-on style turret No Live tooling Any info would be helpful. TIA

I Already have the Inspection plus on my makino, we are trying to use the same setup and programs on our Kuraki horizontal. We had a guy that was supossed to get it up and going but he got frustrated with trying to get the Omm to read the old MP3 probe and left... didnt finish the job, so i reran the wires and moved the OMM for a better vantage point, then put the MP7 probe in and got it to do a bore check. We are going to call renishaw
