It's a simple 2 axis lathe. No C or Y axis functionality. Just need the lathe drilling canned cycle output.

As you said "If you have a local/close support, then DMGMORI should be at the top of the list for 5axis consideration". We don't have that support in Southern California. I like to hear from actual customers not from DMGMORI.

Hi all, We just bought a 2 axis Okuma LB4000 lathe. This is our first Okuma machine. I'm trying to dial in a post for our upcoming training. I downloaded two MasterCam Okuma lathe post from MasterCam website, but non of them have the drilling post block configured. I'm not families with the Okuma's G-code. Can anyone help me with the drilling cycle post blocks? Thank you.

We have Makino D800Z and D200. We do have couple of Matsurra MX 520. Great machines and customer service. I would stay away from DMG.

This is my tool inspection post block that it works. This is from a Mori post. Make sure you have prpm in your post block. # Motion NC output # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ptool_insp #Tool inspection point #Modify following lines to customize output for tool inspection points if posttype$ = 2, #Lathe tool inspection point [ "(***TOOL INSPECTION POINT***)", e$ if prmcode$ = 29999, #Only output tool insp comment if one was entered with this insp point [ sparameter$ = ucase(sparameter$) pbld, n$, *sm00, "(", sparameter$, ")", e$ ] else, pbld, n$, *sm00, e$ #Output just the stop if no comment pbld, n$, *sgcode, *toolno, e$ #Restate tool number pbld, n$, pfsgplane, e$ #Restate plane code prpm # Output programmed RPM #Restate spindle prv_feed = c9k #Set prv_values to c9k to force them out with next moves prv_gcode$ = c9k prv_workofs$ = c9k if coolant$, prv_coolant$ = c9k ]

Hi Colin, I don't see the Fanuc 5X post that supports TWP and TCPC in Tech Exchange. I only found the Generic 5axis post.

I'm about to build a machine for a Haas VF2 with TRT 160 rotary table. I was going to check to see if I can find it there.

Hi Jay, How can I find the FTP? Thanks.

Thank you John and Colin, I added these lines after pretract in "peof" and It outputs the codes I wanted. pretract if return_mode = one, [ #pbld, n$, *sgcode, *sg28, *sgabsinc, "Z0.", e$ pbld, n$, *sgcode, *sg28, *sgabsinc, "Y0.", e$ ] else, [ #pbld, n$, sg53, *g53_return_z, e$ pbld, n$, sg53, *g53_return_Y, e$ ]

Hi, I noticed on new Generic Haas VF-TR_Series 5X Mill post we have an option to switch to G28 or G53 home. But none of these options sends the machine's Y axis home at the end of program. What would be the best approach to send the Y axis home only at end of the program? Thank you.

Hi Colin, Sorry to hear this. I'm glad you and your family are OK. Ara.

Hi Colin, The post is set up to use Misc Int. 3 for home position. I'm not sure why is outputting negative values!!

Hi, I get inconsistent and negative numbers for my home position when I program for Sub spindle.How can I fix this? Please see G-Codes below. Thank you.
